rumpletump Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Well I have not built a model for a while. This is the fist one all year. I have had plans to do a c model to the 42038 snow vehicle since it came out but since there have been at least a couple of other c models made to this set, One very good one by Buster Haus, I put my plans on hold a while. The model has the following features. Doors open close. Front blade raise and lower via twin in cab lever. spring loaded to hold in up or down position. Front blade adjustable to 5 positions left to right...with locking pin. Front blade tilt via linear actuator running off PTO. Central gearbox behind cab to switch between front and rear PTO. Rear groomer raise and lower via twin lever next to rear tray . spring loaded to hold in up or down position. Rear groomer tilt via linear actuator running off PTO. can adjust between rake only, rake and scrape, and scrape only. Small crane behind cab can turn lift and winch. Enjoy :) See all the pics at my bricksafe http://bricksafe.com...38-snow-groomer Cheers Henry Quote
Siegfried Meyer Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hi Henry Very nice c model. Looks like a official lego model , how many parts are left from building this? And can you post a pic from the underside please. Sieg Quote

BusterHaus Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Great model! The proportions are excellent and nothing looks out of place. I was looking at the two exhausts over the cabin and thought they would be linked to the linear actuators. An idea I may use for a future project. Quote
MaxSupercars Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Nice groomer as C model... nice proportions... :) Max... Quote
Rishab N Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Great alternate. Definitely as good as the A and B model Quote
dr_spock Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Great job. Looks like a lot of fun to play with. Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Love this one so much, for me it is even better then the A and B model!!! :thumbup: Quote
rumpletump Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) I was looking at the two exhausts over the cabin and thought they would be linked to the linear actuators. An idea I may use for a future project. Hi, The bevel gear behind the cabin is for turning the crane. The other bevel gear inside the rear tray is for the front and rear PTO i.e. the linear actuators. you can switch between front and back via the gearbox. the switch for the gearbox is here. not so easy to see a bit out of focus..

Jeroen Ottens Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Nice! Well proportioned and not many pieces left... What more can you ask for in a C-model? Quote
Richard Dower Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 excellent design and use of parts, i like that there isint much left over atfter the build....as someone said, could easily pass for an official B model. Quote
Tomik Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 This is the best alternative model built out of set 42038 I've ever seen. It's definitelly better than A model. Good job! Quote
Chr.Maglekaer Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Very good, it would actually be nice to have the building instructions on. :thumbup: Quote
darsedz Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 very interesting design, nice playable, not so many parts left... excellent :thumbup: Quote
A Gallifreyan Cat Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I think I like this one more that the 8263 snow groomer from a while back. Quote
pyro690 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Very good! Looks like it should have been the B model, not a C. :thumbup: Quote
mattthewise Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Has anyone been able to reverse-engineer this MOC from looking at the pictures, or has anyone tried in the first place? I've tried, but as I don't have very much experience with freebuilding with Technic, all I was able to get was the superficial stuff. Quote
Huaojozu Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Very nice! Definitely at least B model tier, if not A. Any hope for instructions? Quote

cadre Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 There is another Snow Groomer from 42038 here with an lxf file. Quote
