[MOD] Set 60183 Heavy Cargo Transport

[Marinho]

Hi all,

I was storing my mocs today, as I almost have no space for them anymore, and I realized I never posted this one. Before presenting my MOD, I need to say that I was heavily inspired by @koalayummies original MOD to this set. I picked up this set because I saw a lot of potential, and looked really cool, but as soon as I saw his MOD i decided that that was the way to go as I loved his design. Here is the link to the original design made by him: Original Design

 

So I did a couple mods on the truck, it's shorter and I add some detail inside the cabin, and in the trailer i did also a couple of changes. Regarding the helicopter, I tried to base it in the original, as I wanted to use the more original parts as possible, in order to lower the cost of building it. 

So here are the picks, hope you guys like it:

It looks much better than the set itself.

Thanks @Brandon Pea and @Ragana9289. I would say it look much better than the original, but I would say that if Lego had come up with this instead of the original one, it would be way to expensive with the amount of parts it has... Anyway, the credit has to go all to @koalayummies, he was the "original" designer.

Awesome MOD Pedro. You didn't have to mention me but I appriciate it. This guy's legit and went out of his way to contact me beforehand. I always try to mention inspiration but sometimes its really hard to keep track of everything yet it's nice to know that there are builders out there who care about this sort of thing. Sharing ideas and inspiration is one of the best parts of building Lego and the MOC/MOD community and I'm glad it inspired you.

I really like the changes you've done, its one of the cooler vehicles and you've made it a lot better. The hydraulic looking lift arms for the tow crane is a nice touch and makes it look more realistic than mine. Excellent work!

Thanks @koalayummies! I'm glad you didn't mind that I posted my version. Also really glad that I didn't disappointed the original designer.
