[MOC] Volvo L250G Wheel Loader

[M_longer]

Five years ago I have shown model of Liebherr L580 loader:

Even then I did not liked its bucket, but there were no other way to have big and light bucket that fits to scale. Some time ago I have bought bucket from 42030 set and I tried to mount it on L580:

I did not succeded, because it didn't worked as I would like it to. So I decided to build new loader, that will work properly with new bucket.

In five days new model came to life, a Volvo L250G Wheel Loader.

Real machine:

And my model:

It weights 1,6kg and it's driven by single PF L motor:

Steering is achieved by single M motor and two small Linear Actuators:

The bucket is raised by single L motor:

And tilted by single M motor:

All motors are controlled by two IR receivers, and powered by Rechargeable battery box:

The cab has interior, but no opening door:

Comparision to L580:

Real machine uses reflective foil for improving its visibility in the dark. My model also has some reflective stripes:

And here you can see how it works:

Looks amazing! Where did you get the reflective tape from ?

[Paul B Technic]

That is simply amazing, well done :)

[Rishab N]

Stunning work as always. looks spot on

[efferman]

again a masterpiece

[agrof]

Great work, love it!

[Jeroen Ottens]

Beautiful model, very smooth operation.

I love the windscreen wiper. My only minor comment would be on the rear mudguard, I would have liked a more continuous line there.

But apart from that it is perfect.

This is Nice... I like these MOCs with technics stuffs inside but the outside is more of a model team type of build... EXCELLENT WORK!!

Stunning build! I had to look twice to see it really is LEGO

Hall of Fame? I think so.

[Freekysch]

This should have been the Flagship of this year ! Congrats for an excellent MOC, just superb

[jorgeopesi]

Hall of Fame? I think so.

Of course .

[D3K]

That is truly a fantastic MOC! Looks awesome, can't believe you managed that in such a short time!

[JDC]

Beautiful job. I would imagine, after seeing this, the guys as TLG are kicking chairs around the office like Bad Cop in the LEGO Movie.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Hall of Fame? I think so.

Absolute Hall of Fame .

This is a beauty .

[MajklSpajkl]

It is so realistic!!! And it looks way better than the 350!Do you think, that the previous bucket (from 8043) would even fit in any model with the unimog tires?

[weavil]

Impresive work. Looks perfct. Like the touch with the reflective tape. Your old one looks way better with the new bucket.

[Dafgek81]

In one word WOW!!!!

What a great model, will defenetly be building this one in the future, along whit the Liebherr.

[legomuppet9]

I love it, especially I like the fact that you've not just left the cab windows open, but filled them in, it finishes off the model

[GoldVillage]

This is just sick... just when you believed you had seen it all - something you cannot put words on.

[Kumbbl]

i would buy instructions regardless of the price ...

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

I didn't notice the topic on this model, now I did :-) This one is just amazing, very much detail and the looks are awesome! Who knows, I might want to build this one some day...

[M_longer]

Thanks for you comments, I am glad that you like my Volvo :)

Looks amazing! Where did you get the reflective tape from ?

From shop with safety wear.

Do you think, that the previous bucket (from 8043) would even fit in any model with the unimog tires?

I think that it will only fit wheels from 8265.

In one word WOW!!!!

What a great model, will defenetly be building this one in the future, along whit the Liebherr.

i would buy instructions regardless of the price ...

Who knows, I might want to build this one some day...

So it seems that I will have to make instructions? :)

[Dafgek81]

Yes, Yes, Yes, Please!!!!!

[Kumbbl]
