Pat-Ard Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Hi folks, today I want to show you my latest project. It's based on the idea of efferman - special thanks to him! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60459&st=775 The G Wagon fits quite good in my collection of Unimogs. I change some smaller things on the chassis and built my own cab. And as usual I'm still waiting for some missing parts... To keep it short... Pictures: Have fun watching. Pat Quote
timslegos Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Great looking truck so far, really captures the iconic lines. tim Quote
Dafgek81 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Very nice Mercedes. Are you going to make instructions for it? Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 Hi folks, thanks for your feedback. @Dafgek81: There is effermans LDD for the chassis. I don' think I'll make a LDD for the cab, because there are used some illegal techniques. Pat Quote
D3K Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Looks great, love white cars! Great build, immediately recognizable as a Geländewagen Is this Efferman's compact 4wd chassis? Could you post an underbelly shot? Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 Again thanks... Yes, as I already mentioned, the G is based on effermans chassis. Just one stud longer and some changes with the suspensions... I' ll post more pictures on monday when I'm back home. Pat Quote
Nike 2101 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Very very nice!!! And what motors are you used? Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Hi Nike, since I used effermans chassis, there are used two L-motors for driving and a S-motor for steering. Pat Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 18, 2014 Author Posted April 18, 2014 Hi Horace, thanks... I wanted to build a G which is used, which is for work, for what it was designed for. There are some people here in the Black Forrest who drive the G for the daily work in the forrest. The most of them are colored tan or a dull green. You can't see the mud on those ;) And there are some rare white ones... Because my G should fit in the collection of my Unimogs, I decided to make a white one. And sorry, no one would use a black G for forrestry work :D Pat Quote
stefan_betula_pendula Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Nice job, Pat! Have you tried to use panels #5 and #6 for for the hood? Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 20, 2014 Author Posted April 20, 2014 Hi, thanks again for the nice feedback... @stefan: yes, I tried it, but these panels won't fit since the are 2 x 3. Maybe I give it a go again. Have to change the whole hood... Pat Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 22, 2014 Author Posted April 22, 2014 Hi folks, it's me again. Today I received the last missing parts and so the G should be final, as final a MOC ever can be :) Changed the hood - thanks Stefan! Again special thanks to efferman. He did a great job on the chassis. And I made a small video - nothing special... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21147896/Lego%20G-Klasse%20final%20video.mov Hope you like it... Pat Quote
stefan_betula_pendula Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 It looks fantastic! I hope it was worth to do this little modification. Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 22, 2014 Author Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks Stefan... It looks way better!!! Quote
skriblez Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Nice looking moc :) Looks just like the real one :) Quote
Hrafn Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 You've really nailed the shape - it looks great! Quote
TinkerBrick Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Great looks. You should make and apply some stickers either International Red Cross or United Nations. The white colour kind of asks for it. Quote
Pat-Ard Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Hi folks, thanks again for all the praise. @Kuba: No, not perfect, but OK. @TinkerBrick: Hmmm, no, I don't think I'll do this. The G fits perfectly in my set of forestry Unimogs! And since a MOC is never finished, some more pictures. Little changes on the grille, the roof and the hood.
