keithleon Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Anything is possible, but it won't fit without modifying the backup structure. .... Ok noted , I guess I can only choose one ... Whether it's the jurgen Remote control ultimate , or this gerger remarkable piece.. Hard to make a choice between these two .. my eyes eager for the GMK6400 , but the heart wanted a ultimate RC.. Hard choices .. it would be even great if the GMK6400 has a remote version . But then , life is good .. can't ask too much , appreciate all those to have contributed to make this GMK6400 a possible for the public . Respect man ! Edited October 9, 2014 by keithleon Quote

BTW, GMK 6400 is remote controlled. You are a clone of Madoca . He is my favourite MOCer. Quote
a_h_adl Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks heaps kandykop, these pics are convincing enough to start building the MOC. Ask Blakbird, he has got all past, current, and future sets and MOCs built. That's true! Honestly, he is the one in the world I envy the most!

terenshi Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) wow you have an awesome collection, could you take a little more pic of madoca's wing body truck? i saw that you built it in red color. Edited October 12, 2014 by Alasdair Ryan Removed oversised Image Quote
keithleon Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) ????? The GMK6400 is a remote version. All functions are motorized and remote controlled. Understood ! Another question pls , after I dl the Grove gmk bsx parts files and copy paste to use it over at bricklink wanted list , it came out invalid file format ? Should I edit anything alse in the files , add lines etc ? Please advise , thanks I think you are talking about this one. BTW, GMK 6400 is remote controlled. My bad , really got mix up ..

kamsohal Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 i bought another enzo set and made it from that.currently making the terex mining excavator witch is taking forever to do due the whole thing being so tightly put together. Quote

Ember Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 How long is the thread used for the boom ? 1m or 2.5m ? Quote
Leif Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) It is hard to explain just how large this thing is, but my daughters were impressed. In the high prestige competition "Daughters and Mobile Cranes" I hereby submit my contribution Given the crane is a WIP and I only have one daughter I do not expect to win the contest, but I might at least be runner up!

Any help information and further advise is appreciated . Many thanks . Edited October 14, 2014 by keithleon Quote
Blakbird Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 The part numbers are already available. If you download the Brickstore parts list that I posted, you will have the correct part number for each and every part. The yellow shock absorber is "extra hard" and the light gray one is "soft". Don't worry too much about the belt. Just use any rubber band that fits. Quote

Thanks sir , but I can't generate the brickstore part list in the right format to be view on my android phone , can you sir or someone provide me the correct id numbers for the shock absorber and that wheeler thingy here , Somebody can help ? many many thanks . Or can this type model of shock absorber ( link below ) could be used to substitute those which has been used on the GMK6400 ?

afol1969 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Ok, some update about building and the instructions. I'm making the last fine-tuning for the carrier instructions. While building, it was a challenge to fit the right steering by connecting the axle modules, and some parts steps have to been changed. The carrier works fine with driving forward, but driving backwards makes some noise in the gears. The portal axle system is rather wobbly, the wheels are not exactly in line while driving, especially on carpets. The cabin roof needed a little modification, because of the PF connectors it couldn't fit completely on the top. For the wheel hub axles I used 2,5 technic axles, they are easy to get by cutting a 5L axle in two 2,5L axles. For the part list I created a special DAT file, it appears in the part list, but the length is shown with 2, and not with 2.5. I think I've to write the length manually. Or has someone another idea to define the axle length? Here the example: Another question: Which resolution you prefer for the instructions? 150 or 300 dpi? Greetings Alex Quote
legolijntje Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Go for 300dpi for sure. It's waaay better than 150 dpi. About the axle length... I have no idea how to fix that. maybe you can just give all 2.5 axles a weird color, like orange, or pink and put a warning at the first page that pink (or whatever) axles should be axles of lenght 2.5.

keithleon Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Shock absorber wise , which type to go ? Thanks Quote
Blakbird Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 From what I have heard, the part length reporting function of LPub is hard coded so you can't modify it. I agree that 300 dpi is well worth the extra file size. It looks so much better. Anything more than that is diminishing returns though. Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) keithleon: we can't open your dropbox links. I highly suggest you simply get on your PC/laptop, install BrickStock, and open the parts lists provided by Blakbird in there. It contains all the information you need.

Thanks for the pointers jantjeuh ! Will try that . Thank you Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Also, you might want to consider importing the parts list as a Private MOC on Rebrickable, so you can easily see what parts you are missing. Quote

Roger sir ! I'm still trying to figure out and digest what's those brickstock program is all about , until I come to have a better understanding before working my way up to rebrickable moc . Btw thanks bro so much for the trouble . Quote

I agree that 300 dpi is well worth the extra file size. It looks so much better. Anything more than that is diminishing returns though. OK, I've now finished the instructions for the carrier, I've exported the pictures with 300 dpi. But there's a new problem: While creating the BOM, it shows a complete wrong part count, a lot of parts are shown double or more. I think it has to do with ghosts/submodels, but I'm not common enough with LDRAW to where I've made errors. In the assemblies the part lists are shown correctly. So I do not know whats the issue. Clearing LPUB cache didn't help. Bricksafe seems to be down, and my dropbox makes problems, so I cannot upload the CAD file now. If someone wants to have a look, please send PM. Here is the BOM picture: Greetings Alex Quote
