Hi again, this time I did a wheel loader and I will explain just a little why I choose this model. I discovered it because I am always looking for huge wheel loaders 
but the ones existing are impossible to replicate as I want but this one was huge but annormaly tall so I could fit everything on it and the rest is history.
The hardest part to do was to fit the two big linear actuators for the bucket without making the machine too wide and then do the aesthetics but that is a born problem for me.
The machine have 3 M motors, for arm, bucket and steering and a L motor for drive and it use 2 big linear actuators for the arm, another two ones for the bucket and two small ones for the steering.
It also has pendular suspension, two folding ladders and openning doors and hood. The building is all modular and robust as I like.
Another problem I had was that my remote control broke so I had to use a train remote one and you know that it is not the same at all...
The version from the pics is different to the stud.io one because I did not have some pieces. Thank you 1gor for the panels advice it was very good,  I had discarted them without taking good measures.
Acorded to stud.io the measures are 22.8x76.3x31.1 studs but with the arm and bucket raised it will be close to 50 studs. The last thing is that it has around 1650 pieces. I hope you like.

Jorge, with those triangular panels it looks really great. I suppose BB is at the rear? The whole loader looks so smooth and simple at the same time. When I look at digital version, it seems that black 6 x 6 disks are missing on real model.

You are right there are pieces I do not have and that I do not want to buy :laugh: .

I'm in the same situation; despite that my Lego inventory is "distributed" over three different locations, so my projects are on standstill and I don't know for how long...currently I draw something to see if in futur I can go to specific direction or (like often) forget about it...

Very impressive, good geometry on the bucket! I’m surprised the L-motor can propel this monster.

Did you have drawings or photos of the real model to work from? It looks a bit narrow, but maybe that’s just what it looks like.

I also had dudes about the motors and I began to work for L ones but I tried M motors and they work very good and fast, if I do not have good geometry I do not have nothing :laugh: .

In general all wheel loaders are narrow machines and this one is not an exception, it could happen that my MOC could be a little narrow but it was to keep the machine narrower than the bucket maybe.
