The bucket looks exactly like the real thing, the boom is good, the colors are good. I don't know much about cranes, but it looks like it will work very well. Glad to see you on lugnet. (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

The finished Ferrari looks flawless! The front end is the best part. I would rather have your Ferrari design than the real thing. The tan seats also add a lot to the looks.

(...) Perhaps switching to 2x plates instead of 4x for the tread surfaces would help - this would help to smooth the curve around the wheels, at the cost of almost doubling the number of hinges you would need to add. Otherwise, love this MOC. Great (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)

(...) You might find that spreading the hinge plates wider on the tread shoes will help. Having them near the centre increases the "twisting" effect if there are forces near the edge of the shoes. Also, having 3 per shoe instead of 2 may help - mine (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)
