Daar heb ik dan weer niet naar gekeken. Ik zag het, spontaan alles in huis gehaald en vervolgens ingehaald door de werkelijkheid, waardoor ik er wederom nog niet aan toegekomen ben. Nu is dus de vraag of het voor niks is geweest... nah, ga hem wel RC maken zodra ie schoon is, eigen conclusies trekken en daarna vrolijk door naar de kraan MOC die gedeeld werd.
Die krijgt geweldige comments:
I built the model in about 5 hours. Here's my thoughts:
THE BUILD
The build was probably the most enjoyable Technic MOC build I have built yet. The instructions are top class, with a good level of difficulty (not too easy as regular Lego Technic instructions, not too hard either), and with a lot of submodels – you can see that a lot of work and care was put into these instructions! Axle lengths are indicated, the instructions are always clear. The only issue I found is the wrong size of the long grey tube, as others have already mentioned.
There are some challenges like getting the steering together (aligning all axles the same way) or affixing the superstructure, but it's nothing that can't be done.
There were several moments in the build where I shook my head in amazement. The whole internals of the superstructure for example: it is quite impressive how tight Marek managed to put everything inside. The gearbox, Motor, pneumatic system - it's all in there, and invisible from the outside, with absolutely no space wasted. Now that is some engineering ingenuity, even more so given the fact that he worked with a limited set of parts.
THE MODEL
For a C-Model with a given set of pieces, it is almost flawless. From the looks, it might well be an official set. The steering is brilliant, it has a very tight steering radius thanks to 3 turning wheels. The way the outriggers work is perfectly constructed and I could operate and watch them all day
. The superstructure with the extending boom made out of the gear racks is very cleverly built, and everything works. If I had to nitpick, it would be the slow speed of raising the boom and moving the winch, but I suppose that 42043 doesn't provide enough gears to build a better gear ratio to make these two functions run faster. Also, I can't get the string to stay on the wheel in the winch, it keeps slipping to the side, which is due to the fact that the groove of the technic wheel is not deep enough.
Small nitpicking: The doors of the cabin open inwards, I didn't understand why that is.
The model also seems very sturdy and is great fun to play with.
VERDICT
This crane is the best Technic C-Model MOC I have ever built. Marek displays a very high level of engineering skills as the model is filled with complex functions that are built in a very efficient and space-saving way. Furthermore, he managed to create a perfect look with the limited parts. Add to that a brilliant set of instructions with a lot of care and attention and you have a perfect C-Model that probably couldn't be better. I wonder why Marek hasn't gotten a call from Lego yet.
10/10
De comments section is echt een aanrader
