Wow! Spectacular! I’d love to see some video coverage of your bulldozer in
action. I think it looks even better than the one LEGO is coming out with.
I think the tractor and lo-boy are very well done also. Excellent work!

It looks beautiful Dennis! Yes, you should make a video of it. It would also
be nice to see the mechanisms inside it. Did you use 1 motor for the tracks and
the steering motor (inside the RC module) to add/subtract from each side, or did
you use independently controlled tracks? I guess I may have to wait until you
post more details on your site.
The best part in my opinion is the use of the flat 1x’s placed in a
perpendicular fashion for the treads. From a distance it looks exactly like
real dozer treads. The best picture is the one from the rear where one can see
right through the tracks.

Wow! You always do great work. I think the authentic look of this model is just
one of the strong points of your style. I really like all of the technical
capabilities and details. Great job! Awesome photos!

Hallo Rosco
Thanks for your interesting. I also see, what you build, specially your Demag
Crawler-Crane. Very impressive and nice colour!! I like real working machinery.

No, the drive shaft dont take the load. The drive-axle is 2 studs away from the
axle, that carry the "hydraulic ram". The drive-axle goes sideway to the right
side. There are a geares 20/12, that make the same moving-way as the "cylinder".

I can fix it easy, but its (because of my little english) difficult to explain.
If you like, send for me a email, so i will send you some detail-pictures.

I make only the test you see on picture, i load with the crane the spreader on
the truck. With the lattice boom, i think i can not lift to much.

Hallo Eric
Thanks for your interesting in my crane.
I did offset the weels from the hubs, because the pivoting-point come closer to
the middle from the wheel, so it needs not to much space for the wheels, when
they are steered.

Hi Beat, good to see you back with yet another great MOC.
One question I have regarding the boom luffing: from your pics it looks like the
drive shaft also takes the load on the "hydraulic ram". Does the heavy load add
a lot to the friction? Or did you unload the motor drive somehow, similar to how
Jennifer Clark did in her AC-50?
The lattice extension looks good too - how easy is it to change the angle? I
tried to build one with a sliding link for my AC100, but just couldn't get
something that looked realistic at the scale I was using.
And I like how you offset the tyres on the hubs - it looks like real rims and
moves the steering centres closer to the tyres.
Have you done a load test yet?

Hallo Everbody
After more than one year i finishe now my third moc, Mobile-Crane Liebherr
LTM1070.
This Crane is my biggest and most complicated moc until now. Its fully powered
by Lego-motors and pneumatic-pistons. The crane's max. height is 2.50m.

Yes, another model again. Actually I built it from 2003 to 2005 but before I
take pictures I first search for a suitable spot and good weather! Combining
both isn’t as easy as you might think but most times the weather doesn’t
cooperate. Fortunately June and July had a lot of nice weekends and I went out
for three times to make a photo shoot. This is the third one ...
It shows a 4-series bonneted Scania. And yes, I already built one in 2000 but
the new one is much better. Curious? Just read the full text on my
website.

I just picked this set up at my local LEGO® store. Its a cool set and was fun to
build. I do have some small grips with the nose and the fact that LEGO® removed
the second color from the jet.
http://boeing.com/commercial/gallery/787/index1-gallery02.html
That is a link to some artist drawings of the 787 from the Boeing site. As you
can see there is a lighter blue on top of the blue. This is not present in the
LEGO® model. Also you can see with the blue cone on the nose it doesnt look
anything like the real aircraft. But these are small grips. If I take the time I
am sure I could tweak the model to look more like the actual aircraft. It would
be fun to try to rebuild this model in a current airline colors scheme.
Also this set does not come with any landing gear.

Hubba. This is the TLG I’m talking about! Bravo! Still keep making the
juniorized, smaller sets (for profits), but don’t forsake creating the sets that
require old school building. :-)

Well said! My 13 year old “little” brother’s eyes just about popped out when I
showed him a picture of this set. My mom was about to buy him the
Playmobil plane, but I advised her to wait
for this one.

I think this is a good looking model. Its nice to see Lego is till doing UCS
type models that are other things then Star Wars. I showed it to my Dad who
works at a boeing plant when he got home, and he said that he hadn’t heard
anything from anyone at work about it. I thought that was funny, seeing as
anything and everything gets passed around the boeing email network. Well I will
give them a couple days until someone notices it, then everyone will know about
it.

I had some concerns earlier this year about the Lego City passenger plane being
a little too simplified with the one-piece nose section and one-piece wings, so
I'm really glad to see TLC release a plane made from real bricks.
I do wonder, however, with all the new slope bricks that have been released in
the past few years if it would have been possible to make the plane
(particularly the nose) a little more smooth looking.
Still, I'll plan on saving up for this one.
TLC, thanks for keeping it about "building."

> what kind of model will you bring?
Swissbagger (Beat Schuler) will most likely bring his MAN tipper truck and the
Kaiser S2 climbing excavator presented here on Lugnet some time ago. (Can still
be found in the sidebar). Maybe another creation in the same scale as well. But
I don't think he wants me to tell about his creation here already.
I will bring a 1:13 scale excavator and maybe another, somewhat bigger model but
in smaller scale (1:25). And then I think I will bring my EMD F7 train engine
presented on lugnet.trains some time ago. I never had it run on a big layout.
> if you like we can join together for an international costruction yard! :-)
Yes, why not. I think all of our creations (expect for the F7) will fit more ore
less into this construction yard.
> we have 10 1m x 1,2m modular panel for the costruction yard!
That sounds impressive?
> see you in Torino then!
Looking forward to it.
