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... ;->

:-S Are you sure you want me to share more of this??! It seems like it’s not
good for you and I really don’t want to get you upset or something.
Actually I feel a bit ashamed I didn’t help you out more to reconstruct the
models... Maybe it’s because I’m a little afraid that someone else in
general will use it for personal gain as discussed on Lugnet before.
Ofcourse I know you wouldn’t do that, but I don’t think it’s fair either to
help just a few persons....
And like you may have expected I didn’t cut new length for the pneumatic hoses
but used the official ones. ;-)
