Aah ok, that saves space

They are to big for steered axle at this scale. Very often it takes tens of hours to make optimum front axle if it is suspended, driven and steered (and shocks go into the cab area). My question is how robust is such solution?

[efferman]

Actually it holds the load. The time will see, if it holds.

[1gor]

I thought that you have already tested it with your famous plastic box full of LEGO connectors and beams to simulate total truck weight 

My solution would probably be more conventional...one day

[efferman]

Only the cab and some small details are missing.

 

[1gor]

It works smooth 

Looking forward to see it completed. Now I understand why you will use yellow mudguards 

[efferman]

The First Container is done.

[1gor]

Looks very good, but perhaps you can use this one 

[efferman]

hm...

Do you know Dixie toilet boxes?

[1gor]

I see them every day at the road side, and even on graveyards...I think there is manufacturer called TUI or something (I'm not thinking on one older German traveling agency)

[efferman]

ToiToi or Dixie

You're right it is ToiToi (white with blue top)... anyway it is useful when (sh)it happens.

The best part about hook trucks is the variant of payloads you can carry from flat trays to skip's to custom load out platforms ( we had a twin pull winch with spade legs on one. )

One again Mr Efferman, your a very talented man, and the scale looks great. and well within my budget compared to other trucks out there....

Agree, I am a silent follower of this topic, but every time I open it, I do enjoy what I see!

Thank you very much Guys

@brickless_kiwi Indeed hook loader trucks can be versatile (and interesting)

+1. @efferman I really like your attention for realistic proportions and ideas for new mechanisms and ways to actuate your functions. Your MODs and MOCs have been inspiration for me on a number of occasions. Keep up the good work.

[efferman]

Thanks

Today arrived a batch of Parts. Unfortunately some center parts are still missing

 

With Mudguards

Honestly white and yellow looks better in real life than in virtual life. Based on color choices, It reminds me on my first LEGO set

Now you know how long LEGO is my hobby

[efferman]

It seems you are a little bit older than me.

Fortunately i had an unopened Mack at home. the interior would not be there with it. Most of the parts are in the bricklink batch which is still on the way.

It looks much better in real life, but just one question: aren't seats a bit to narrow for that scale?

(Perhaps I have wrong perception because of known steering wheel issue)

Edit: with age comes wisdom 

Edited November 10, 2018 by I_Igor

[efferman]

Maybe a half stud to narrow compared to scale. There is no need to be to pedantic in the interior.

[1gor]

I agree in that...just a question. Anyway no one shall look to interior since cab is really beautiful 

[efferman]

Thank you very much
