Brickzone52 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Hello Everybody My Name is Dani, im a 36 years old LEGO fanatic from Zürich Switzerland and im a brandnew eurobricks member. ;-) Im proud to introduce you my Liebherr R 9150 excavator in the scale 1:13. Yeah i know, the mining machines from Liebherr are white in real, but i like the yellow Liebherr color design much more. It is „only“ a scale model and has no functions, motors etc, cause the construction is just too heavy. I dont know the wheight exactly, but i think its about 40 pounds, this thing is HUGE. As you can see, i used alot parts, only for the black track-chains about 1200 pieces. I worked on this Monster since 3 years, of course with a lot breaks between. Effort in hours: i guess about 300. Please let me know what you think. If you have any questions, just ask. ;-) Edited January 12, 2017 by Brickzone52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

offroadcreations Posted January 12, 2017 It's beautiful... and HUGE! I really like those tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sariel Posted January 12, 2017 How durable are the tracks? Do they give a smooth ride? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Imaginator Posted January 12, 2017 Very impressive build with a lot of details. I like these squarish dark gray railings and tracks. Immediately want to build pair of same tracks and test with something motorized) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColletArrow Posted January 12, 2017 That is awesome. I love how all the small details are brought out in this huge scale! Well done for persevering to complete this model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jorgeopesi Posted January 12, 2017 I don´t know what to say... one of the best Lego excavators I have ever seen, awesome work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GroundskeeperWillie Posted January 12, 2017 Really impressive build! Well done. I'm missing a photo that really shows off its huge scale. Would be great if you could include some household object (Sariel often uses a soda can) in a photo to show the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted January 13, 2017 Seriously huge build! I'm impressed. It looks like one of the LEGOLAND models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristof Posted January 13, 2017 No Functions? Easily forgiven! :D This is fantastic. I know it's massive but could you bring some comparison photograph? Like 'banana for scale' :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickzone52 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Thanx alot for all the positive feedbacks! :-) Feels really good after that long working struggle. 17 hours ago, jono rocky said: Very impressed.

The only thing the Cabin does is looking good, haha. 16 hours ago, Sariel said: How durable are the tracks? Do they give a smooth ride? Not that durable. :-D Its only a Model with no functions, the whole construction is too heavy for my RC-Skills. 15 hours ago, Victor Imaginator said: Very impressive build with a lot of details.

IF you could motorize tracks like that, you are a Genius. I mean, look at the Picture 2 & 3, the construction is very stiff. 15 hours ago, GroundskeeperWillie said: Really impressive build!

But we need to say at that point, that the most LEGO Excavator MOCs are motorized. This one`s not. ;-) 19 hours ago, Dafgek81 said: A very impressive model and huge, like how it looks.
