The bikes haven't got enough realism for me to want to buy/make one,

The trucks are just awesome and very complex with gear boxes on them etc

I know,that 1 has been in the cupboard since my birthday in feb when the mother in law gave me it,she must have been struggling for ideas as I'm not into bikes at all.
Really wanting to start another build so it's between the hiab,the big bulldozer and the tracked crane I have.
Really like the look of that hiab truck you bought,that looks smart.

i was after one of these for a long time

sell it to me

155lee

iTrader: (10)

Took me over a year to get 1,for some reason most are missing bits and incomplete or overpriced.
Around Ł150 is where they seem to sell.
I wanted a previously built 1 that had been disassembled but still had its box and instructions.
Quite hard to get.
Just getting started and I'm thinking this must have been an early model as some pieces are studded and some are stud less,like a mix of old and new.
I'd sell its non motorised little brother for Ł25 ha ha

Looks like a nice kit. Don't forget to keep us updated!

Only spent around an hour and a half actually building it tonight.

Minirotty

Love it! So many more Lego addicts coming out the closet ��

Minirotty

Another couple of hours speant on mine since last update but doesn't show that I speant that long on it lol

It's all the little sub assembly's that take ages to do and it's annoying when you're building it and have no idea what it's going to do once built!

dojj

iTrader: (3)

wait till you get to the gearboxes on that crane kev

properly complex bit of kit

Another bit done tonight,it's a bit fiddly but I can see it coming together now.

The gearbox on the green recovery truck was very complex in how it worked as it runs the winch,pneumatics,the stabilisers and the boom through 4 switches and a clutch cog.
It must take somebody with a huge imagination to think out a way for it yo work and package it all into a small assembly.

Minirotty

Sounds simular to the Merc box bud, the gear box in that is just epic! It does everything on the truck, Neumatics, Stabilisers, Tipper, Bucket etc it's ace!

Had some more meditation on mine tonight, another few hours put in to it but again you can't tell that in pics lol












Keep your pics coming everyone as I love seeing everyone elses builds too!

Minirotty

Quite like the fact theres some studded pieces in there tbh.

Lego room, with some of the more ancient bits

Minirotty

Most of it looks half built though Dojj


I want this one lol

dojj

iTrader: (3)

back in the day mate, that's what they came like
got an F1 car too somewhere

dojj

iTrader: (3)

and the lambo, to be honest, it's using the same box and 4wd system of other models but the body is different

lego do at least 4 different cars like that, over the years they've done a lot more

but it's still cool as fuck

I had that car too but I left most of my models like that at my grans and my cousin I didn't like took them home with him never to be seen again.
Long since dumped I imagine.
I have a few more in my garage loft inc the 1st wheel shovel I got,I'll get pics next time I'm up.

Ive got loads of lego. Ive run out of room for more. need a full house so i can build more shelves to stick it on.

Minirotty

Here he is! Wozza! The guilty man that started all this Lego madness whilst I was weak and vulnerable in hospital

Psycho Warren

iTrader: (5)

some models i forgot.

It did me good when i was recovering from my lunacy and wasnt allowed to drive so i figured it would occupy your mind too

I should patent it as a new form of therapy and push for NHS funding. Lego on the NHS would be awesome!!!
