Forwarder mk2

[M_longer]

I have started showing my old models on my Instagram account and people started asking about instructions for them. So here's the first one, including a revamped model from 2009:

It all began in 2009 with this small model:

It was inspired by forwarders of this type:

Today, a ten years after its reveal, new version was created, with lots of playable features missing in the original build. The crane arm and claw works, and that's a major change from mk1, because it was not designed to do so.

First version had solid axle, mk2 comes with pendular suspension on all wheels:

The cab still can fit a minfig (this one was taken from 60181):

The instructions mentioned above can be obtained trough Sellfy & Rebrickable:
