Effe's MOC Corner

Looks like 3 pieces per step on average is a good standard then.

[efferman]

Yes.

Btw, with a few little changes Red is possible, but in the back there are 2 dbg 3x7 square panels.

[johnnym]

Looks nice, too. Maybe preferrable over the white version because it will keep its look better over the years.

One could say, white looks good on paper, but in real it's not that cool, at least this was the case for my Artémis intense édition tricolore.

I only wish, the renderer of Studio could produce a more realistic red (same for lime). It's just too dark in my eyes.

[efferman]

Thanks

What about the Friderici (a Suisse transport company) Edition?

I think this also looks nice. I also thought about something blue and maybe white for highlights only, but can't say if everything needed is available in blue. But two-tone livery is always nice. E.g. what about making everything under the cabin white and the cabin red, or adding stripes where possible. Also two-tone with DBG below and LBG above could look cool. I saw a Friderici truck which had its lower part in the shadows, creating that effect.

[efferman]

there should be many combinations possible, but now something Dark

Edit:

something Swedish (it is buildable)

[efferman]

All buildable (till now) Colour variations in one picture.

[johnnym]

I like the blue-yellow one and the Friderici one most actually.

[SaperPL]

May be a stupid question, but if you're going for dark variant with LBG grill, shouldn't you try using all LBG frictionless pins to not have black dots on it? Or all those are 3L long pin axles or just 3L pins in black? :D

Sure, that would be possible, but it would make the grille wobbly too.

 

edit: please guess the type of trailer.

In Germany we call this a "Kiesbomber"

[johnnym]

Nice shaping and I finally know for what these tapered panels were made for. How many LAs will you use?

BTW, it looks like one doesn't get a notification for edits and this also doesn't put the thread on top of the thread list. So your riddle from yesterday didn't reach me in time. And I only know "Pampersbomber(s)".

i guess i will use two Actuators.

[johnnym]

Wonder how many pieces of "LEGO-Kies" (maybe from 42121) or better how much weight you can put into the bucket. You will test that, right?

[efferman]

You have that many pins? Just checked Rebrickable, I have just under 9000 and wonder if that could be enough to fill it up. I never saw them on one pile though.

[efferman]

yes, i have a few litres of Pins

 

[johnnym]

That's the spirit!

[efferman]

Do you the Tipping angle should be enough?

[1gor]

IMHO yes

[efferman]

indeed

 

[efferman]

The Digital build is done to.

[1gor]

Yellow and blue; familiar flag colors...

[efferman]

Yeah but not for the Heroic Ukrains.

My tipper trailer is mostly done.

[Jundis]

This is one of the best tipper trailers ever. The angled lines from the 3x5 panels are so cool, great job, Effe!
