[MOC] KOMATSU 895 forwarder

[LegoMathijs]

I like to show you my new MOC:

KOMATSU 895

“The gentle giant”

At this moment, the KOMATSU 895 is the biggest forwarder of KOMATSU Forest. This moc took me three months to complete, because it was a challenging build to get all the details and functions in this 1:25 scale model. In real, the 895 has several ingenious functions to load and transport a lot of trunks.

The following functions are in this scale model:

- Wheel suspension

-Telescopic boom

-Shovel blade

-74-AWI-4v diesel engine

- Cabin with door

- In the cabin, an operators seat which can turn 360 degrees

- Ladder for enter te cabin

- Adjustable LoadFlex

- Adjustable Flexgate

I've choose the 1:25 scale because I want to build a forest layout for this forwarder and a KOMATSU harvester. The 1:25 scale is a challenge for a detailed build, but I think I managed it

Hope you like it

Nice job, you did really well to make it look as good as that in such a small scale

[D3K]

It looks very nice!

Is there enough friction in the arm joints to pose it, or does it have to rest on something?

[BusterHaus]

That trailer looks pretty sweet. Which bricks is the yellow cylinder made of? It looks very well scaled.

[LegoMathijs]

Thanks!

@D3K the boom have to rest on something, the black cylinder haven't enough friction. Another cylinder would be too large.

@BusterHaus The yellow cylinder is made with the following parts:

I'm thinking the new long 1x1 cylinder from the upcoming 42043 Arocs will open up a new world of possibilities for MOCs in this scale to be modelled both aesthetically and functionally accurate!

[LegoMathijs]

Maybe I can use the 1x1 cylinder in one of my next MOCs. Thank you for the tip

I like models this scale with so much detail useability!
