legotechnicus Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hi folks, I made this Unimog 406 in LDD because I do not have the parts to make it in real life. Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hi folks, I do not have the parts to make it in real life. This i the firtst moc that is build with invisible bricks Some picture of the LDD version ??!! Quote
legotechnicus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 haha sorry, had some trouble with the picture Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Looks good, but does it have suspension? Quote
legotechnicus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) @zblj yeah it does, it uses the unimog type from lego, but the suspension part in LDD is compressed, so in real life it sits a lot higher, I'll try and put the file in here so you can see it Edited March 10, 2015 by legotechnicus Quote
gti180 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 would love to have ago at building this.. you thinking of doing instructions? Quote
legotechnicus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah sure! is it okay if i upload the LDD file in a bit? so you can build it? Quote
gti180 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 yeah please do, from what I can see the parts shouldn't be an issue Quote
legotechnicus Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 yeah please do, from what I can see the parts shouldn't be an issue No problem, I will post it later this evening, it uses around 1700 bricks, and all bricks are available. I think its awesome you want to try and build it Quote
gti180 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 would be a shame not to have ago at making it in real life. i don't mind building it for you if you cant get the parts together. Quote

Pat-Ard Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Nice Mog... Looks a bit like mine :) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92220&hl=u406 Quote

darsedz Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 haha sorry, had some trouble with the picture save a time spend to paint a background by usage menu "Toolbox/ Take a screen shot"...or simply Ctrl-K..LDD saves curent view on png file ;) Quote
Pat-Ard Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 oh that's nice... Can't wait to get my hands on your building instructions... Quote
legotechnicus Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?f=553946v Here you can download the LDD file. It still needs to upload the page, i hope it will soon so you can check it out http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=409274 I found my first unimog I ever made, it worked pretty good.

Pat-Ard Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 a very nice Mog... Interesting chassis and suspension... But why didn't you use a S-motor? Thanks for sharing the instructions... Quote
legotechnicus Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 a very nice Mog... Interesting chassis and suspension... But why didn't you use a S-motor? Thanks for sharing the instructions... Well I've never worked with an S-motor before,and in LDD it isn't available so I just used a M-motor Quote
Rainbow Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Nice job well done, in the near future I will try too build this MOC Quote
sama Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Hello, I opened up your LXF file of the Unimog, and played around with it. It is a very nice and detailed model, but I saw it lacked a proper servo motor for steering, and it structurally doesn't look to strong, the chassis will bend under the weight in real life. So I made some improvements like adding a servo motor and some beams. There is no servo motor in LDD, so I used a replacement model. I incorporated it into the model by adding the pins and such, then removed the dummy model. You can see where the servo would go, basically where the old m-motor for steering was. I also added some beams under the chassis but still I feel it isn't enough to provide structural strength for the overall model. Here is the your LXF file, you can see the changes. In addition, I see it lacked IR receivers. But the model has tons of space to put one in, so I didn't add them (you can choose where to put them where ever you like a suppose). http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sama/LDD/1426066218-2.0.lxf Quote
