[MOC] Cletrac K20

[amv]

Greetings, friends! :)

The little tracked "workaholic" of the American company Cleveland Tractors hails from the 1930s. The model has 114 parts, 40 of which are links of caterpillars (20 each).

Description of the assembly scheme can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPAlMnIZcso

Best regards, AMV

Thanks so much for your feedback! Yes, a small model sometimes takes a lot of time :)

That's great work. Amazing job at those details in this scale.

[neonic]

Nice one. So small and so detailed. Nice coloring scheme too.

Thanks for the feedback! :) There is also a Caterpillar D4 dozer, also small... :)

Awesome! It is not easy to create something small with lots of details, but here is everything is on the right place. Great work :)

Many thanks! The tractor itself also helped - its proportions are in good agreement with the proportions of the lego parts :)

Really cool!

I like it. Not so wild about the A) unusable seat, and B) color scheme, though.

[mic8per]

Cool!

I too like usable seats. You could use piece #4032, if you wanted. That's a really cool build, though! The small builds take the most work. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more!

I wonder if there's a way to accomplish the more contoured features found later models in this line at this scale? Like the Cletrac HG-42 Crawler?

Not sure how you'd get that rounded front in 2 wide, but it would look cool as hell.

I love little builds like this and this one's really nice... I like the splashes of colour and the amount of detail you've squeezed in.

Good job!

Lovely MOC ...I want my yellow version!

When choosing a color, I took this prototype as a basis:

Yes, yellow or orange is beautiful! :)

Thanks for the answer! :) The model is focused on dioramas, for the game of course you can change the seat. The necessary details of a different color (for example, yellow) were not enough for me :)

Thank you for your feedback! :) Indeed, small models sometimes make you think a lot about the design :) Although large ones too :))

Nice tractor :) You can try to make a round hood with a pair of such parts:

Or half of this part:

 

Cutting the part with a saw, I got a mudguard for the Kamaz 65117 model. I do not really like to cut parts, but sometimes I feel like it! :)

[Mrlikeslegothings]

It would look good in a Lego city as well
