Great job! (URL) blade is the best part. It looks real yet would work. The slightly-bent joints that brace the plates on the side is an ingenius idea. This MOC should be added to the sidebar! (19 years ago, 17-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Ahhhhhhh, there's always room for modifications, right? Take the 8421 technic crane for example.. came with 2 cylinders, however, with a little thinkin and adjusting pieces, it now has 4... add an air tank to it.. now has excellant lifting (...)

(...) I would agree with leaving the tow truck together - and the dust should be easier to wipe off the studless beams! Looking at at the tractor set, my first impressions of it is that it has a very modern look. My first contact with Technic was (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) The fact that it only has one piston is not impressive but the truck itself is very impressive. However, if that one piston can lift a lego truck of the same scale then it is a good design. It is interesting that although TLC typically models (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

From what I've seen in the pics, the tow truck looks like it has only 1 pneumatic piston. That doesn't look very impressive. (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

In order to build a new boom for a crane I am working on, I had to take apart this WWII plane MOC from 2001. It had numerous butchered parts but was still impressive to look at and worked reasonably well. I had to dust off 4-1/2 years of dust from (...) (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think what you need are two external arms, half the width of the door, top and bottom. Connect them from the door frame to a point half way along the door. This gives you four hinges. You then want to construct a mechanism that attaches to (...) (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, FTX)

Allow me to pull you guys off the excitement around the 2006 Technic sets to ask a question... Does anyone know of a working linkage or geometry for slide-glide doors usually found on low floor transit buses, with door panels being 5 studs wide when (...)

(...) There's a couple of downsides to multiple parts sheaves - first, it means at least twice as much string, and that can mean either larger spools or thinner string, which is much harder for small fingers to handle; and second, it's harder to (...)

(...) I think it has 2 weight bricks as well. Unlike some of the other models I was reluctant to tip it over and get pics from all sides. (the towtruck... I went crazy on that one. I could not spot any studded bricks in that model at all, but I may (...) (19 years ago, 12-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
