Francesca, Hey, great model you’ve built! I don’t see Ivecos very often, especially built of LEGOs. I’ve tried it once, but because I haven’t found a suitable vehicle to build, I stopped the project. Here in the Netherlands mostimes you see DAF, (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.modelteam)

You've seen it at BimP[1]. You've seen it at Brickfest[2]. Now you can see the full details of it at my site: (URL) finally finished my own personal webpages on the model.

Gordon, (...) The axles of my crane were supported as well. I put six black bricks under the chassis. You nearly couldn’t trace them. Many people thought the crane was supported only by it’s heavy support arms. But as LEGO-ist you know that’s far (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

Thanks for the reply Dennis. So far, I haven't hit problems with the axles. I am making sure every load bearing axle has at least two shear planes for this reason. Also doubling up on gears (tandem) and making sure all axles are supported everywhere (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

Gordon, When you wan't to lift such a heavy load the technic axles are too weak. So you have to use other materials than LEGO. I've made a 4.2 metres high Liebherr LG1550 and know how far you can go with it. A hundred kg's seems impressive, but is (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)
