After the convention it was clear that there is a need for more lighting. Here is the first sketch of blingbling

I'd go for single diameter of the top bar. Now you have brick and bar diameter at one time.

i know. Still searching for a proper solution.

 

edit:

Seems i found a solution which works in real but not in ldd.

This truck is awesome!
Did you try the "jaaptechnic style" rims? I think they look much more better on 1:17 trucks.

Thanks

I dont like the shape of the jaap fenders and iam more flexible with the hinge rims in aspect of colours.

Well done, I'm truly impressed with the final result and the demo video.

Thanks

Fixing the LXF is nearly done. Now i have a trailer coupling at the back and a question: Including an removable Deadweight platform?

From this view it looks very nice indeed 

 

About removable dead weight platform, I have one question about it (and the answer inclooded between lines): did it aid Ballance (better weight distribution) or vice versa?

Traction needs weight at the back and without a semitrailer there is a need for dead weight when you want pull a trailer.

Then there is nothing against it, and with it it looks more "finished" Moc. 

indeed

It also looks much better 

A ballast carrier for a truck like this is a good idea. Virtually every heavy haulage truck I have seen has a ballast box, or at least an option for one. Are you going to add a tarp roof and other details to the box?

Only a naked Platform i think, but iam floating actually between tiltable and solid sidewalls. with a acceptable opening angle a sidewall would be only mounted at two studs. Is the opening feature a reason enough to accept a non solid solution?

If you put Saturn V on it then you will need new transparent: "Houston we have a problem" 

...but it looks outstanding

My Modular Trailers are now at Bricksafe

 

I following this for a while and must say it's a cool truck.
It's also a great combination of those 'new' technic beams and stuff and the 'old' Lego.
quess I don't express it really good ? but ... looks great. the Platform looks great too. Looking forward to the rest.
Maybe an option to fill the ballastcarrier with some stuff like spare tyres and stuff?

Sorry, my english seems to be out of Order.  What is the Sense behind these words?

There is always an option to put a bobby Car on a Ballast platform

The hinge solution is fortunately solid enough

Er sagt etwas wie, “ich weiss nicht, wie es gut sagen”

if my Deutsch is passable.

Aah, now it makes sense.

Which Tail you would prefer, Left, or right? If you cant decide say the stable one, because one of them is significantly mor stable than the other one.

I prefer the second one, the left ...
