98267a Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Very nice. It is better then the current b model. Quote
Kumbbl Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 yesterday i bought a complete 8258 for 95€ just to build this awesome C-model - it's absolutely worth it - at least i assume... ;-) just ordered your BI and now i'm waiting for the download-link and for the shipping of the 8258... Quote
Kumbbl Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 yes, i think so - i decided to buy another one because i do not want to dismantle the crane truck - it is a too good model - especially with all MODs of Designer Han Quote

Thank you very much!!!It is an honor for me that some people love my creations, and to know that people like you bought the set just for create my MOC...I am without words :) :) I have noticed that there is an error in building instructions about the functioning of third lift axle. I missed a part (Technic axle joiner inline smooth at page 163 bis) , Today I have fixed the error. People now must redownload the corrected file. I'm really sorry about this. Quote
Kumbbl Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 People now must redownload the corrected file. I'm really sorry about this. no worries... i have redownloaded the file... thank you for fixing but i doubt that this small error could have prevented an experienced builder from successfully building your truck ;-) it's quite obviously that there is needed an axle joiner...

Kumbbl Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) currently i'm building your Tow truck - most of the chassis is done (until page 260)... until now i have to say: very well designed construction, clever building techniques, superb instructions - makes a lot of fun... one of the best alternative models i know - for this discipline (designing one set alternate models) it seems as if you play in the same league as Nathanael Kuipers; and this is the highest possible praising i can give ;-) It's worth each € of the spended 95€ for the second 8258 i bought for your model... i will finish the truck over the weekend and will post a picture of the model... BTW: also very clever and well done preparation for PF :thumbup: Edited April 3, 2014 by Kumbbl Quote
EV3Noob Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 It's worth each € of the spended 95€ for the second 8258 i bought for your model... €95? (sigh) lucky you... I don't have this set yet (and not sure if I ever buy it at all) - is there a way to get a part list before buying the instructions? Quote
MrTekneex Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 The Model is at rebrickable... Exactly, precisely here ;) currently i'm building your Tow truck - most of the chassis is done (until page 260)... until now i have to say: very well designed construction, clever building techniques, superb instructions - makes a lot of fun... one of the best alternative models i know - for this discipline (designing one set alternate models) it seems as if you play in the same league as Nathanael Kuipers; and this is the highest possible praising i can give ;-) It's worth each € of the spended 95€ for the second 8258 i bought for your model... i will finish the truck over the weekend and will post a picture of the model... BTW: also very clever and well done preparation for PF :thumbup: Your words are gold for me, these words also serve to improve more and more!Soon I will publish another alternative model (set 8070), but in the near future I will make a MOC that will probably have more than 2000 pieces. I can only anticipate that it will be possible to build it by combining sets 8258 & 8110 ;) Quote
EV3Noob Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Exactly, precisely here ;) Shame on me! How could I forget?! :) Quote
MrTekneex Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Shame on me! How could I forget?! :) Ah ah don't worry...in fact now I update the site ;) Quote

Kumbbl Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) well, it's done: One remark as addition to my praising some postings above: This model would be already awesome if it would be build from arbitrary parts - but the facts - that this model is build just with parts of the 8258 set and - that this model uses quite all parts of the sets and - that is perferctly prepared to be powered by PF for driving and steering (costs about 5 minutes and a M-motor, a XL-motor and a IR receiver+sender) these facts make this model more or less incredible - i have no words for the admiration of your building skills... BTW: This is a way way better two truck than the quite boring 8285...at least in my humble opinion.... I would recommend every one to build this model, at least every one who own the 8258 set - because this model is not only another alternative, IMHO it is on par with the main model - one of the best building experciences i ever had (and i had already a lot ;-) I take my hat off to you, MrTekneex!

Kumbbl Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) one remark:rebrickable says that these parts are needed in addition to the 8258: apart from the pins and axles (IMO regarding these rebrickable is wrong) this is also my experience (not a big deal for me because i had all these parts in my barts bin) - first i was not sure if my second hand bought 8258 has just missed these parts but rebrickable seems to confirm this... then it would not be an 100% C-model..... BTW: only the black t-shaped beam and the 1x7 gray beam are important for the model - the latter only if you want to motorize steering... the 2x3 black plates are only for the front head lights - could be replaced by two black 2x2 plates which are remaining parts of the 8258 - same for the 2 black technic pin connectors: they are used in the openable doors and could be replaced by two remaining red ones... So, MrTekneex if you could eliminate or replace these black T-beam and one 1x7 beam then it would be a real 100% C-model...But: this changes nothing of my opinion written one posting above! Edit - here are my suggestions: 1x7 LBG beam: Replace in Step 25 (page 23) the 1x7 LBG beam with a 1x9 one (there is one remaining) --> solves the 1x7 LBG beam problem (s.a.) 3x3 black t-shaped beam: But for the 3x3 t-shaped beam i have not found a quick solution - at least at a first glance all used copies are senseful and needed or at least not replaceable by the remainings parts...

So...There are problem about Rebrickable: I can assure you that no extra parts are needed. I think that there was an issue when I have uploaded the file list by Ldraw file. I just checked all the errors and....you are right :) Now I'm going to fix all this problem. in Rebrickable and in the building instructions. Your help is really precious: I'll never stop to thank you for the help and for the beautiful words! Quote
lastvogna Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Had great fun with this. Thank you MrTekneex. Unfortunaly some pieces are missing in my kit. I don't know how. I'll just buy them. Quote
