Is there any possibility of getting more stable images ? The ones posted above are a bit blurry.

Regarding the model: Looks great already, which is bucket used?

Even though I really appreciate the effort to build your own, I am not sure yours is that much better :classic: It is indeed a little out of scale/proportions, or at least that is what the pictures make me think... :blush:

What do you think of this build yourself? Are you 100% happy with it? Just wondering... :wink:

This model looks weird, because it does not resemble dimensions of real EW180. Also, change this bucket to something else, because third party parts are not allowed in the contest.

I have decided to change the other bucket to this one because it is more easy to control the small pneumatic cylinder than the medium one. I have added an elevation mechanism to the cab because I had space.

A video will come in a fiew days when I will have enough time.

Feel free to comment if you like it and have a good day!
