Hallo Reinard,
Ik ben ook bezig met een 20 brede 1600. Maar dan een 1800. Genoemd naar mijn
geboorteplaats Tilburg, de 1851. Misschien kunnen we de locomotieven eens naast
elkaar zetten, dat lijkt me erg gaaf!
Hoop wat van je te horen dan kun je mailen naar j_klazen@hotmail.com
Groetjes,
Joep

Incredible model, Dennis! Visited your site and your trucks are works of art!

Trying to get it to self center, since it was not working at all, except to
drive HARD RIGHT, and HARD LEFT - since it comes with ramps, I figured it should
be self centering once you release the remote, but it doesn't anymore. SO HELP
ANYONE?????

My latest MOC is this typical Dutch manufactured FTF truck. Especially the cab
took lots of time to construction and I had to use many unconventional ways of
brick usage. Nice challenge though!
Read more about it on my website

Finally the R500 is finalized together with the low loader. It took me about
three years to fulfill the task. I started with the trailer just after finishing
the unit but postponed it over and over again. I already had it in April 2011
but waited before uploading the pictures which I took in May. Curious how the
outfit looks like? Want to see more pictures? Just read it on my renewed
website: www.dennisbosman.nl/lego/no56.html

Yes, I indead this one before. That was back in ‘97 but I wanted to build the
remake for many years. October last year I started with this model to have it
finished in May this year. It’s much more realistic than its ancestor and works
much better as well. I still have to make a short film but the full description
can already be read on my website: www.dennisbosman.nl

Thank you! It actually makes sense, though. Lego only selected kids ‘til about
14 years old to be finalists. It is their main demographic, after all. I suppose
they would get discouraged if they saw everything we can come up with.
However, Lego has promised a prize to the best AFOL creation in all the
challenges. More info can be found on the Technicbricks blog.

Congratulations! What a beautiful model. I very much like your use of color,
looks just like the wooden models of da Vinci’s work that you’d see in a museum.
Your sculpting is simple yet so effective at creating a very organic looking
machine!

Great work!!! I love the video. That heli drop off with the chains!!! Awesome!
Good construction, tight and clean looking. Good power, looks practically
unstopable. The inovative use of the rubber elements for the treds, wow!
Really good presentation, love it!

Hi all,
It has been a while since I finished a new MOC.

It’s also been a while since you finished this one, but man! Great job!

ummmm.. things could break and people could, well... you figure it out.
humans and snapping high tension steal cables don't mix. cables win.

I wonder why competative winching has bever been a sport?
What you'd do is connect the winches on two trucks, and whichever drags the
other to the mid point first wins. You wouldn't be allowed to connect the trucks
to anything but you could use built in ground anchors.

This truck was my first attempt to merge Technic and Model Team into one MOC:
I built it quite a while ago but only recently took the pictures. Since I make
more concept models and not many finished Technic MOCs I thought it would be
good to post it.
As well as the usual steering, differential, opening doors and motor drive, the
truck features an automatically-raised centre axle, which drops when a trailer
puts weight on the 5th wheel. The 5th wheel is sprung in a way compatible with
the 8872 transporter trailer pin scheme (a bush trapped by a latching lever).
There are 12V headlights but I hadn’t yet wired them up inside.
I admit that few trucks have a centre axle that both lifts and steers, these
being mutually exclusive options for real trucks, but the idea was to put lots
of Technic functions into a more realistic looking truck. It’s not modelled on
any particular type and the sleeper cab may be longer than a real European one.
A shame some of the bricks have faded in the few years it’s been built. It’s
not been anywhere near a window sill!
I’d really like to see TLG put many Technic functions into Model Team models and
make new Model Team sets with more “play value”. It might be more commercially
viable than a full 1:13 scale truck set (a real pipe dream!).

Of the same Actros I already put some pictures on the net but now I’ve added
the longest model so far to my website. It’s a three metres long heavy hauler
of Mammoet based on the Actros with
stepframe trailer. You can read the full description on my
website

The pictures in my post disappeared unfortunately (another webserver). But in a
meanwhile I changed something to give it a new look. Actually it is a new model
but this time it didn’t took me two years to build it. Two months were enough.
I wrote a short description about
the adaption of the old three axle unit.
Best regards
