[TC18] G-Class

[damjan97PL]

Hi.

Its my very first Lego contest. 

I decided to build a Mercedes-Benz G500. 

Functions:

-4x4 drive with two diff

-Suspension with live axles

-6 cylinder engine

-Hog steering wheel

The total lenght will be 37 studs + spare wheel. Wheelbase is 24 studs.

I made a frame and some body.

Becouse its 49.5mm scale that some proportions cant be identical to real car.

That is nice choice; perhaps ball joint suspension elements from Unimog 8110 set would be better solution?

Hi.

I make some progress.

A body is almost finished, time for interior.

Dou you have 42043 set? Mercedes-Benz star from Arocs would fit here perfectly

No, but is a 2x2

I think that is done.

Nice and recognisable.

Recognizable shape

Is there a way to put turn signals near the hood? I'd say they are one of the signature features of the G-Class.

For me seems pretty easy, in fact, especailly if there are free studs.

Great exterior styling! I love the slanted hood:)

Movie of it in action?
