Lundgren Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 So now I'm gathering parts for this beatiful MOC but I already have alot of the cab parts in black and I like black so I'm thinking of doing it in mostly black. Red chassis, black cab but not the whole cab the dark blue and the blue I'm thinking something like dark gray. What do you think about that? Is it possible, do all the roof slopes etc exist in dark grey? Or maybe the roof in red as the chassi? Quote

Is it possible, do all the roof slopes etc exist in dark grey? Or maybe the roof in red as the chassis? Great to see that you are gathering the parts and also very nice of you to repaint the model! It is yours and please feel free to do as you like… Both Red and Dark Grey would do amazingly well, I am sure about that! About Dark Grey, I would say use Dark Bluish Gray since this color is still produced. Maybe you meant this color already, but just to make sure! BTW, please realize that if you intent to build the trailer as well, you have to repaint it as well! Just a thought to keep in mind The key elements of the roof are: http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=41748 http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=41747 http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=50950 http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=61678 http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=30357 All of them are available in both Red and Dark Bluish Gray.

Lundgren Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Thanks Ingmar! I decided to go with black cab, red roof and som "styling" in DBG! To only reason to why i dont want a white cab is because I like to have my models on display and so my son can play with them, and white isn't that good i sunlight. :( A bonus is it will do well in my fleet of trucks with Grazi's tow truck, Whirl & Wheel and so on! ;) Edited December 31, 2013 by Lundgren Quote

I think that is a very nice color combination. As I wrote to you before the primary parts are available in red so that is not a problem at all! About white, i do understand, it will probably discolor because of sunlight. My models are all in this display cabinet and are absolutely not exposed to sunlight. Your sun will most likely love them very much, I am sure about that! Have fun building!!! Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 It's great to see that many people build your truck and give it there own way Quote
Lundgren Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Ingmar was kind and sent me previews of how my truck will look lika when finished! This is the results (almost) i will add some DBG on it also. But very like as I will build my version of it! Quote
Lundgren Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Couldn't hold my self so I started testing the colors! :) Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 It's great to see that many people build your truck and give it there own way Yes it is and a warm thank you to you!!! Inspiring people that's what it all is to me Quote
ritztoys Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Howdy All, Just finished the MKII trailer, coupled with this truck............Awesome! I just got my first contract load............Although the driver asked me; "Where is this place called Jurassic Park?" Quote
nychase Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I have to ask. Were you inspired to build that cage from this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/JURASSIC-PARK-Velociraptor-Cage-Crate-1993-Original-Screen-Used-Movie-Prop-/390756055657?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5afae03a69 Quote
ritztoys Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I have to ask. Were you inspired to build that cage from this? http://www.ebay.com/...=item5afae03a69 No not really............I just had a lot of gray pieces laying around and got creative after a couple cups of coffee, plus I had the Velociraptor Dinosaur I needed to do something with!

2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 So nice to see these models I designed and sell instructions for are at this truck stop (I suppose?) Great to see that I inspire you and many other people to build these models!!! That is an amazing load you came up with and one heck of a beast to haul!!! Thanks for building these models and sharing those pictures with us Quote
ritztoys Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I changed the " load " on your trailer and used this combination to demonstrate your MOC at Brickworld Indy this past weekend. This truck and trailer was one of the very best Lego MOCs' at this show, I constantly heard from the public oohhs, and ahaas. :thumbup: The public loved this truck. Then when I moved it under PF functions, well the comments were louder, then I opened the hood, I could hear the everyone's' jaws hitting the floor. Future US Truck T2 Lego builder getting up close.

ritztoys Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Yes Sir, it is his loader. It performed very well and the public really liked the ' swing loader ' function. I'd get right next to Hans' Dump truck, then swing the bucket to drop the Lego boulders. ( I had great fun demonstrating all models ) Quote

Do you have plans for going to this event or others again... Edited March 12, 2014 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Quote
ritztoys Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Yes Sir, I've already ' signed up ' for next years show in Indy, and am seriously thinking of going to Chicago in June for their show. Right now I'm inspecting all models I used to demonstrate and get some more experience in backing up your truck to the trailer. It's harder than you would think, I can back down a boat and trailer with my personal vehicle on a boat launching ramp very well, but when I have to look at your truck, instead of being inside a vehicle, I can't do it very well. Just give me some mirrors and I'll be fine. If I do go to Chicago................I will display both of your trucks. :thumbup: Quote
Rishab N Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Little OT but when exactly is the CHicago show? Quote
ritztoys Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I hope Ingmar won't mind me answering this OT question........... The Brickworld Chicago Show will be held during June 14-15, 2014 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Schaumburg, Illinois. Times: Saturday June 14, 2014........10:00 to 4:00pm Sunday June 15, 2014..........10:00 to 3:00pm EDIT: Show times Edited March 13, 2014 by ritztoys Quote

My experience is that since gears are not locked to the axles they are sitting on, the axles might be displaced a little. As long as it is just a little, it is okay, but in the end it might fall out. This happened to me occasionally. It is different indeed, sitting inside the vehicle or having a helicopter view so to speak. Because of driving around in our not so big living room I developed that skill quite well... Edited March 14, 2014 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Quote
Lundgren Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Well, yesterday when I was ordering parts for the Black version of Ingmars great T1 truck I couldn't stop my self so I ordered parts to build this one in original colors to ... So I've got a huge shipment of parts waiting to arrive now..... Quote
Jeroen vW Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Wow Ingmar, These are impressive. Nice to see someone I have met in real life is also an afol. And a masterbuilder at that. I'm gonna have a look at your other models. Jeroen Quote

So I've got a huge shipment of parts waiting to arrive now..... O no, another AFOL who can not stop buying parts... :laugh: :laugh: he is addicted, someone please help him! Does this mean you have three or even four of my models within a couple of weeks sitting in your house? Please don't spend all your money because more are going to be released! Wow Ingmar, These are impressive. Nice to see someone I have met in real life is also an afol. And a masterbuilder at that. I'm gonna have a look at your other models. Thanks for the kind words. Right now I don't have a clue who you are, but that doesn't matter... Have much fun checking my models and feel free and please share what it is that you think of those models! Thank...

Lundgren Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Yepp 4 it'll be! :) haha... Well I actually bought suspension and steering parts for 12 trucks (3-axles) so you just keep em' coming! Haha :) And YES I'm very addicted to your trucks! Hopefully I'll learn something by building them so I can try to build my own Scania some time!? Edited April 18, 2014 by Lundgren Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Aha, I see, I'll let em' coming for sure!!! A Scania, well, to be honest I have plans for one of those too! I'll probably start with a torpedo to give my self the chance to get used to European trucks. Maybe within a couple of years I'll even build a "regular" COE Scania, who can tell... Quote
