Finished off the Fezza last night. Bit of a let down. Doors are very flimsy, had to reconnect parts above the headlights numerous times and the B pillar isn't connected to the car so when you open the door it moves all over the place.
One bit I do like is the rear bumper, it's a work of art. But I missed a cpl parts on the diffuser which I read after, are missed in the instructions, so will fit tonight. I feel lego has really tried to push the limits of what lego can actually do with the body work and it shows IMO So Imo it's the worst of all four 1:8 cars, so for me they rank best to worst in order of release. Cat also showing her disapproval ![]() ![]() ![]()

No doubt from Brickwork lane. Diameter ?? The cabover Volvo's look the closest to real than the Mack/Volvo.

The Volvos arent lego kits, they are designed by people with more talent than me, i just purchased their instructions from rebrickable.com That mack towing the Volvo is the best i could do with limited knowledge/proper spares to create something that looks like a real truck (mack titan)

Whats folks thoughts on non genuine lego kits?
https://www.toybricklighting.com/col...l-powered-toys Some of the kits on here, they'd cost an absolute motza with genuine lego, not to mention headache trying to source all the parts. Those and TLG looks like they'd never even consider big sets like some of these. Ive been procrastinating for months about pulling the pin on one of em A lot of coin with both but they'd be an epic build/centre piece i reckon. https://www.toybricklighting.com/col...ck-actros-4160 ![]() Or this https://www.toybricklighting.com/col...-set-version-2 ![]()

![]() ![]() So I finally got around to finishing this set. If anyone has a lazy $850 and wants to give this a go, you need to brace yourself for it. Nearly all the pieces are small and the repetition is high. But the end result is pretty awesome! |

Finished this last night. Appreciate folks making instructions but I don't rate it. Pretty basic. There's also a crane that goes on the back but looks abit off scale wise. So im not sure what im going to do with it just yet, i'd like to build something behind the cab but dunno what.
Ill modify it a bit and see what changes i can make with my limited creativity ![]() Made from 42128 ![]() With crane. ![]()

I made mine RHD when I built the orange GT3. But only after making it LHD and getting half way through and thinking, “wonder if I can make it RHD?”. And I did.

Started the Z28 yesterday, finished just before. It's a ripper, much better looking in person than it shows. Can choose white, grey or red stripes, and drop-top or hardtop. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I prefer it to the original 42114 Volvo. Just watch the connection for the blade, it has a habit of disconnecting and is a pain to refit ![]() ![]()
