when you take a closer look, you will see that iam running out of white number 3 connectors.

has anyone a idea how can i make the windscreen wipers a little bit more thin?

[stefan_betula_pendula]

Nice detail with the windscreen wipers! For my U400 I used a Bar 6L with Stop Ring with a diameter of ~3mm instead of the technic axle. Rigid hoses may also work. But as you I found no alternative to replace the connectors.

Good idea with the bar, Stefan!

[efferman]

thank you very much, i think i have some of them, but the question is in which colour?

[stefan_betula_pendula]

When looking at the original black is closest, but why not using gray ones to distinguish between the brackets and the wiper blades.

[efferman]

good idea, but these parts i have only in red. it seems i need to order at bricklink

[Edwin Korstanje]

The bars are in black 4 long Sabellights, 6 long with stop and 6,6 long with stop.

BTW great looking cabin so far

[efferman]

so, the bricklink order is paid and some work on the bonnet is done

i think its uglyness is the same like the original

edit: small update on the roof

something of the interieur is made

how do you think about the seat?

[N-4K0]

Looks good

[efferman]

thanks

some progress on the optical details

the mirrors are fixed at the doors

[efferman]

for a guy in my german forum iam building a lowloader for wheeled loaders

and i have to decide which type of ramp i use

i prefer the first one because it fits better to the scale. what do you think?

[Zerobricks]

Second one is more fancy

[Pluto_MkII]

The second one looks like it has more stiffness as the first one. I can't judge it from here. If the first one is stiff enough, I would take it, because it needs less parts than the second one and is a bit more compact than the second one.

[efferman]

the second one is more massive, because it has a support which touches the ground.

[Pluto_MkII]

But is this support necessary? Did you test it with the load of the target?

[efferman]

now i have tested it and a support is neccessary

[Edwin Korstanje]

The second one is much better Effe

[timslegos]

The second one is awesome! Great little mechanism there.

[efferman]

it seems there is a favorite. so i have to make it more compact
