the red lifter truck is the second option from the yellow flat bed recovery truck mate

you have to download the instructions from the internet nowadays for the second model

 

I didn't know that thanks Dojj, i presumed that they had gotten more complicated so just allowed the one model these days. Just been on the technic site. Some of the b models are quite good. Cheers

 

I've got the recovery truck and crane Warren posted.

I've also got:
- the big red sports coupé with the bendy bits
- 4x4...well, got 2 of them - the second one had new features like adjustable ride height, working winch and lights
- JCB
- older version of the crane (6 wheels instead of 8)
- Hi-ab truck mounted crane (looks a little like a Scania)
- tracked excavator

I also had a couple of small sets when I was 7 or 8...a race car and a motorbike I think.

And a ton of normal lego :-D

All at home on top of my wardrobes lol

 

Some new models for later this year



Another remake of an old model with the round parts

 

They look smart.I would buy more but they go for silly money on ebay.

 

I think the green recovery truck will be about Ł99 and the crane Ł149 RRP but that was prices from last month, might have been adjusted since then.

 

I am feeling it will be a good christmas for me with the 2h releases.

 

In my home it's a good xmas for everyone else cause if I got a big model to build I'm quiet.

 

Ha ha cool.If i had some spare money i would buy loads of lego technics

 

I got this in toys r us Ł69.99

 

Looks cool.

 

are these like legitimate models for the up and coming months or just stuff you've made for youself?

i ask because the crane end is poking out of the background on the low loader model lego page on the building instructions

 

just check out the prices on these fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!

42008 LEGO Technic Service Truck – rescue vehicle with Power Functions, a green body and red highlights.

42009 LEGO Technic Mobile Crane Mk II – a ten-wheeled huge mobile crane equipped with Power Functions. Said to be the largest Technic model ever in terms of number of pieces.

I havent bought any lego for ages.I keep looking but the cars I want go for silly money.

 

Bought this bad boy for Ł150

 

Nice one kevin, I see you got this model so I went looking for the 42008 service truck

 

I prefer the older version of that crane!

 

How long will it be when its built up.

 

Yeah I bought that as well.Ł100

 

Bought that crane
Its fucking hard yo build and I had yo take it apart twice to sort stuff out
But once its made up its epic

 

57cm.I done books 1 and 2 so far.

 

It only took me 3 days lol
But if you fuck up book 1 2 or 3 the whole thing needs to cone apart

Been there done that

 

The service truck was a pretty quick build about 6 hours and it was done, wheels look to small for the body as well.

 

Yeah it is big isn't it.

 

Make sure the outriggers work properly before moving on to book 3

 

Yeah twice I made that mistake.

 

Made these for the bairn on his birthday


Then just finished this what he brought back from legoland on Sunday

It don't half bring memory's back

 

 

 

 

Its a beauty that mate.

 

Junior discovered that the crane cab door opens as well

You just can't imagine how awesome it is to play with

 

These are the ones I could find this late at night

 

My latest build.

 

Cool them campers.

 

I rediscovered two of mine a few months ago, I have the old red 'Test Car' as already pictured and the later black supercar with 4wd and 4 wheel steering (Kit no. 8880).

With the red test car there appears to be a fault causing an over-loading of the gears in first gear which I managed t fix on mine with a very simple modification. I also converted both cars to right hand drive

 

I used to over this as a kid after finding it in the lego leaflet that came with a small set I got for Christmas once.

I must have been about 8 or 9 because I can remember to this day finding this exact set at school in a cupboard, as I lifted the lid my hope of actually seeing the bits in the flesh were destroyed in a second. What was in the box was just a motley collection of odd LEGO bits

Funny how things stay with you. Might be off to eBay to fulfil that desire

I have been doing the same over the years with G1 Transformers
