Honestly took 10 hours. It has selectors on the side so you can control the rotors, landing gear, winch, back door and you can trim the blades with another lever.

[brainsnova]

That looks ace :thumb: how many thousand parts was it

[bazil]

Nice one Kev, looks the part :)

[stupot89]

[stupot89]

I got the truck for £110 posted brand new in the box everything still in packed aswell

[bazil]

Both of those are on my wanted list lol, I would have to make a low load traile too though lol

[stupot89]

That's on my to do list

[bazil]

My old school pneumatic 360 digger, must have been about 10 when I built this, I'm sure it was in the 1980's I got this for my birthday. It's a lot cleaner now after I put it in the dishwasher lol

http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/random1/617bb967.jpg

[Plug]

I want the flat bed truck but the cheapest I've found it is £65 but it's out of stock until feb :-(

http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s411/leggattr/Snapbucket/45BC460A.jpg

[16v Nova Kev]

That looks cool

[Cheeze]

Not posted for a while but thought i'd reply on this one

I have had the 8880 supercar since it was released in 1994
http://www.siliconjunction.info/lego/sets/images/8880-full-icon.jpg

But after seeing a few custom crawler cranes on various sites i thought i would give one a bash,
so version 1 started as
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t74/Cheeze1982/20121229_184005.jpg

Then onto Version 2
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t74/Cheeze1982/20121230_132605.jpg

And after a wee think it got broken down along with the supercar for parts to build this

Version 3 based roughly on a Liebherr LR 1110
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t74/Cheeze1982/20130105_102719.jpg

Floor to tip of whip boom 95cm at full height
Floor to tip of main boom 65cm at full height

Not sure on lifting weights yet, but the Fastrac is 200g and i have 400g of ballast so far
Also need to get crawler tracks to do the base and a turntable to allow it to slew

[16v Nova Kev]

Very nice mr cheese

[bazil]

Very cool Cheeze, nice to see the old school studded Lego technic being used, most if the kits nowadays is the stud less stuff :(

[Cheeze]

I'll be honest i have none of the non studded blocks, cant remember the last time i bought anything lego. but i do still have a big box from my childhood lol

[sparkie1401]

i was bored yesterday so chose to build my birthday present its cool as Fcuk and i cannot believe the lengths LEGO have gone to on this one

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/sparkie1401/2013-01-20194153_zpsd56a2649.jpg

best birthday present, felt like a big kid yesterday, had a break for lunch but at a guess took me about 4 hours and is gonna look dubtastic on my kitchen shelf

[Pistol Pete]

Link for the Camper...that is awesome!!

[Southie]

Link for the Camper...that is awesome!!
You might finder a cheaper one on eGhay but here's the Lego link: CLICKYME (http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Volkswagen-T1-Camper-Van-10220?CMP=KAC-SAHCSEU8&HQS=10220)

[Pistol Pete]

Aye just found it at John Lewis for the same price. The misses was asking what i wanted for a wedding present...think ive found it lol

[Keif]

I hope this is the second option after dirty sex.

Love the Camper, want one, but can't warrant spending that on another Lego kit.
(Have a Ferrari Enzo in my boys bedroom, awesome thing)

[Pistol Pete]

I hope this is the second option after dirty sex.

I already have that...why do you think im marrying her lol

I too have the Ferrari Enzo.

[Hobbit]

Today I will be mostly...

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/20130124_100317.jpg

[pie]

thats look's kool hobbit

[bazil]

Do it proper and make it RC lol

[Hobbit]

Do it proper and make it RC lol

Making the tracks and 360 remote controlled would be easy enough but not sure about the boom functions. Doubt there is enough room for 3 battery's, receivers and motors. So might as well just use the standard power function and switch set up.

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/20130124_153535.jpg

[istf]

Cool! :)

[Hobbit]

Do it proper and make it RC lol

Found this...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=11tJ5Ux07Wo

Says he uses 6 motors, 3 ir recievers and two battery packs. How does that work?

[stupot89]

The bigger 8043 uses 4 motors 2 ir receivers

[novadave24]

looks good like the truck :)

[Hobbit]

The bigger 8043 uses 4 motors 2 ir receivers

So you can run 2 motors off 1 receiver?

Think I'll get a couple of motors and see if I can get the tracks working then.

[John]

Meh Lego friends is where it's at!
