Being inspired by the 4100 cranetruck, I decided to build another one a bit
more challenging. So I transformed the 8436 truck into another cranetruck:
It has many functions like pneumatic boom and stands, rotating cabin and
ofcourse steering. Most of these can be controlled from the back.

Enjoy!

Ughh... you’re killing me here... I just got 8436 for Christmas... I want to
build this... I need instructions... argh... I don’t have your skills... I just
want to recreate yours...
Allow me to vent...
When I was a kid the only frustrating thing about LEGO sets was that I often
couldn’t figure out how to recreate the alternate models on the back of the box.
Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m just a stinky builder. All I know is that I
wished they would give instructions for them. I was thrilled with Technic and
Model Team sets that had instructions for two models. Designer sets are great
with instructions for three or more (although I wish they were all for “3-brick”
rated advanced models, not that simple stuff). Alas, I still want more. I
guess I’m weird but inspiration isn’t enough for me. I say, “bah, inspiration,
shmin-spiration!” I don’t want inspiration, I want instructions...
(melodramatic music playing)
Oh, Nathanael, how you torture me... I own all the sets you make alternates
for. Yours look like main models. My alternates look like the 4-yr old
submissions to Lego Magazine (no offense to 4-yr olds).
If only I lived in Europe. I’d back-pack my way to your house and offer to
photograph and LDraw-isize your models so you wouldn’t have to. Alas, the
Atlantic Ocean stands in my way... mocking me... “No alternate MOC instructions
for you Paul...”
(back to normal)
Okay, enough silliness. Seriously, another great alternate MOC. What else can
I say? You do great work. It’s amazing how you get working functionality built
in *and* it’s great looking, all while sticking to the 8436 parts. Just
curious, did you have to cut different lengths for the pneumatic hoses or can it
be built with the lengths cut for the main models from the instruction book?
Thanks for sharing (again!). ...and, if you ever find time for instructions...
;->
