Why can't LEGO design sets like this? Well detailed and functioned, in a set size that would sell at a marketable price. I see a lot of MOC's and think "That's awesome, but would never sell", I honestly think this MOC is both "Awesome" and would sell well as a LEGO set (Probably minus the RC). Please submit this on LEGO ideas :P

If I was to be really picky, the trailer could do with a bit of work.

Really nice. I think you should dedicate more time to a MOC, it always looks like you can't wait to show us but by doing so you miss some details. Nevertheless good stuff!

How many pump cylindres have you used?

The trailer has so much bending :cry_sad:

Please submit this on LEGO ideas :P

These things are likely to get nowhere on LEGO IDEAS.

Dude, it's fantastic!

The trailer has so much bending :cry_sad:

I've not had much better luck avoiding this unless load is less than 1kg. I bet that machine is closer to 2.5.

...or unless you design it properly

Looks like the trailer is only one studs thick, just creating a frame of 3 studs height would make it way stronger and with a mimimun bend..

[Paul B Technic]

I really like this, trailer needs some work...

[wesyr]

Trailer is little bent but still amazing!

Models are both great, especially the new excavator, but for me, star of the show are photos! I really like how you do them!

[Alasdair Ryan]

I am not too sure about the trailer length and the construction technique used,but I do like the excavator and dumper.

Can you share some pictures of the compressor and valves of the excavator?

[brickmeistro]

I would totally buy this as a flagship set... (I'm not sure if Lego ever got a Caterpillar brand license for any past sets)

How many parts did you use for this version and what manual/powered functions do these have?

[motomatt]

It's just awesome.

Some comments on the trailer... I'm not an expert but in my experience studded beams are stronger than studless and offer less flexing for something like your long trailer. When I built a lowboy trailer similar to Ingmar's lowboy, I used an "illegal" technique where I inserted some small cut rubber band strips in between some adjacent beams to try produce a neutral bending/cupping of the trailer frame without any load... loaded the flex would not be as severe in the opposite direction.

Great job with the excavator, it looks amazing!

[Kristof]

Oh I like it... wonderful models!

[KirTech LAB]

Great work! What is the purpose of the actuator in the centre of the grabber?

[tripletschiee]

Great MOC!

But now the version 2.0:

[Lakop]

Great caterpillar and good combination with the other vehicle. Where did you get all those larger pneumatics from?

[tripletschiee]

And some more examples of your future version 2.0, shineyu!

[Milan]

Where did you get all those larger pneumatics from?

There are really lots of them on Bricklink available.

And here a video, how the beast is working:

What a great set of MOCs. I especially like the Excavator and Dumper. Great work.
