Ahlmann Front Loader AF 1050

[kennywest]

I was going to create a skid-steer loader, but someone beat me to it (there's a tracked loader). So, I am going to try and create this instead:

No WIP yet.

So I missed the deadline for this great competition (@jim, maybe you could remove the [TC6]-prefix), but I am still determined to finish this model.

The model will have 4WD and 4 wheel steering, like the real model.

Below is my WIP.

This is what it should look like:

Basic setup of scale, steering and test:

Adding motors and functions to the front (+testing):

This will be my first MOC with power functions and I have to admit, trying to fit everything and getting everything to work is not easy in this scale (there are a lot of iterations). All those real MOC'ers out there deserve all my respect

My advice as a humble builder of 3 wheel loaders and 1 track loader in process is that you increase the scale using unimog wheels, it is impossible for you and me to fit everything in that scale.

Thanks for the advice. But since I was able to pack all necessary functions in there, I am going to stick with the scale, for now. All that is left is some bodywork and a shovel :)

Title changed.

Sorry to revive such an old topic but I found some time, this year to finish the model.

I've put it on rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-7107/kennywest/ahlmann-front-loader-af-1050/

Now I need some time, to take some decent pictures.
