Being inspired by the 4100 cranetruck, I decided to build another one a bit
more challenging. So I transformed the 8436 truck into another cranetruck:
It has many functions like pneumatic boom and stands, rotating cabin and
ofcourse steering. Most of these can be controlled from the back.
Once moderated click here or on the pic for more...
Enjoy!

You really have quite a wide range of talent. Not only do you do good sports
cars, but you have done robots, boats, people, trucks- all out of Lego kits.
Maybe now you can start building construction vehicles.
I assume you did not use a winch because the set does not come with one. But it
still looks better than the real thing! You should try to make something out of
the technic excavator now! Too bad it has differing wheel sizes. Why dont you
try combining those pieces with the 8436 truck? Of course, it costs a lot of
money.
I think if you moved to Denmark or Germany the lego company would hire you. A
Lego representative told me that they require a degree in both engineering and
computer science, but they might make an exception in your case. Is moving a
big problem? If I could get a job at TLC, I would move to Germany.

Thanks Nathan!
Its always good to explore new things. Thats why I try to build new and
inspiring things all the time. Its also good to get a clue what your
limitations are and Im still making progression...
I dont have the excavator. I didnt buy it because I havent seen great
possibilities with it yet. And you are right; its quite expensive.
Recently I received an invitation from TLC so lets wait and see what happens...
