Oh yeah. Some of these pieces are older than me. About 1993.

Careful now, I started playing with legos well before 93, haha. Guess that makes me old.

I've been doing Legos for ten years so that would mean I was five almost six years old when I started.

Wow. Been doing legos since I was like around 5. That's 12 years ago.

I think I got my first box of lego when I was like 5-6. I think it was given to me by a family friend and that's what started my love for lego.
20 years later and im still playing with them and i still buy parts when i need them .

Sweet! It's probably been 8-9 years for me.

Nice.

I have pretty much given up with my morris c8 and decided to build a european Scania truck. I not bothering to build it perfectly but close enough.


Here's what I'm basing the truck on:




Lego version so far on Lego Digital Designer:

Beautiful trucks.

How'd you get the fenders so smooth there?

That looks sweet, You should put a B-Double trailer on it though, you might as well give your truck a work out on the hills?

Haha, That's the one, that is awesome.

What about putting the axle group of the first trailer between the two trailers and have the fifth wheel over the rear part of the axle group. Like Below


My Scania with a double tank-ish trailer set like above.



Your next mission is to build it for real LDD will give you a part list and building instructions

The reason Why I'm not doing that is because I'm not that good, it is hard enough for me to even do the secont trailer.

i just finished making a 2-speed gearbox, im gonna try to make a 10 speed if i can find enough gears

If you send me the LDD file, Ill have a look. I don't mind doing it if you want. PM me and ill send you my email address.

That said, those dollies are cool though.

Id start with a 5 speed first so you get a better understanding of how to build them and then build a 10 speed. You could just build a 5 speed and then have a split range box in front to give you a 10 speed, like semi's have. A split range is just a 2 speed gearbox before the main 5 speed box.

If you have a paypal or access to paypal, you can buy any lego part you want on Bricklink.com , that's where i buy all of my lego.

thanks cornish but no thanks on the offer. I will have another build goming up in a week or so so you guys can see my tallent.

Have any of you ever heard of K-nex. My dad said they were his generation of Legos

I used to have k'nex but no where are good as lego so i got rid of it. K'nex is ok for building roller coasters but that's about it
