Hi
I've usually a lurker on lugnet, but as Brickfest PDX nears I figure its time to
speak up. I'm hoping to bring a 14-wide model semi with lowboy in the Model
Team style to this brickfest. I've been building it for almost a year, and
should have it done in time! Whys it taking so long? Its packed with features
- 2 speed drive, steering, LEDs, pneumatics, all in a small 1/19 cab-over-engine
Freightliner Argosy. With it will be a hydraulic (actually Pneumatic)
detachable neck lowboy.
Frankly, it needs something to haul. Although I could throw something together
or stack up some tires and call it good, something fancy would be a lot more
fun. I don't have time or $$ to build it myself, so I'm asking here! The more
SNOT and motors the better! It could be anything, from a tank to a log skidder!
Some inspiration could be had here: <http://www.vannattabros.com/>
Not all of the equipment there would be applicable, but its still a, uh,
<http://www.vannattabros.com/2006add/tee2.jpg fun read>.
Also, one advantage is that the lowboy itself is not set in stone (er, Lego)
yet. If you need four axles or an extra 2 studs width, I can accommodate it.
Still not convinced? Look at these links:
