January 5, 201411 yr Author These are pretty cool! I built two of those as well, many years ago. I can remember I was one of the first building one (it was back in 2000). Still on my to do list again because it's fun building. And I like the functionality of your's! So you have it in scale 1:13!? Awesome! I got a single hour smuggled in this evening and added the last motor. Brickshelf appears to be down, so I have to improvise! Edited January 6, 201411 yr by Lasse D
January 6, 201411 yr Author 6 hours in and I am now building more to the cabin. If I'm lucky it might take less than 10 hours to build the truck! Update 7 Hours in and I'm done with the cabin. Update 2 And after 8 hours I will again call it a day. It's Tuesday! And I'm adding another hour: Am I going to make it in 10 hours!? Let's find out! Edited January 7, 201411 yr by Lasse D
January 7, 201411 yr Author I did it! 9 and a half hour in and this is the result. Now I have to create pictures of wiring, step images, information, etc... some other day.
January 9, 201411 yr Author Thank you. I have actually just completed the step images last night, so now I just have to make some additional assisting images as well as an additional video... oh, and make the 3D rendering in the browser work! Here is a link to the (preliminary) instructions: http://c-mt.dk/instructions/ Or you can just click this image: It should be perfectly possible to build the model after these pictures, so if anyone is up for the challenge then I would love to get some feedback - are there any difficult-to-follow steps, etc. Edited January 9, 201411 yr by Lasse D
January 9, 201411 yr This is the current progress after 4 hours where I have started adding the mechanism for the tumbler. Hi Lasse D, At first: The cement trucks look very good. I like the blue/white one, in my country they have exactly the same color design I'm looking forward to your instructions. Edit: I've just seen them on your page - high quality work :-)) Greetings Alex Edited January 9, 201411 yr by afol1969

Edit: I've just seen them on your page - high quality work :-)) Greetings Alex Thanks. As far as I know most of the red parts are available in blue, so you can simply build it in that color.
January 21, 201411 yr Author It took some time, but the instructions are now finally as I want them on the website: (click the image for instructions) I have made a lot of small changes to make the construction even more robust, as well as changed the color of some parts for more accessible versions. Please tell me if there should be any parts which are not easy to follow. Oh, and would you guys be interested in seeing a MAN version of normal tractor trailers of the type of my Scania trucks?
January 22, 201411 yr Nice work as always :) Wouldn't mind a MAN version. Always nice with diversity in trucks.
