42106 C model - Road Grader

[M_longer]

An alternate model for 42106 Stunt Show Truck & Bike:

I have bought this set long time ago, and it just standed on the shelf, aquiring dust. But I had an idea for alternate model for it, a road grader:

After making a prototype version I was not pleased about how it ended, I have even shown it on my Instagram as a failed model:

It could probably end on the bottom of my drawer, but feedback from my followers was great , so this model got its second chance.

Here's how the final version looks:

I tried to minimize color vomit caused by presence of (UGH) Medium Azure:

Comes with four manual functions, which are HoG steering, front and main blades and rear ripper. Front blade can be raised with a lever. Main blade is operated by a gear rack.

Rear ripper is operated by lever located in the cab

All lights are mounted on half pins, which means that they will spin freely. To avoid that oddly looking lamps, you can add few stripes of paper on each pin, locking it securely. :)

Nice. Of course, test model looks better because of more "correct" colors.

Now that is very cool.
