Hi folks, Got some Bricklink stuff for Christmas (new wheels, power functions motor, etc.) so I thought I'd have a go at making a dump truck. Inspired by the new technic power functions truck, I think it turned out pretty well actually. (URL) front (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)

Kevin! I am astounded by your recent creations. I intently tried to figure out how you made these inchworms. The gates that you are so well known for are so elegant yet complex. The work you have done is a marvel to see! So you were able to get a 1 (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)
