[MOC] Microscale: Bucket Wheel Excavator [42055]

[Gonkius]

This is my microscale version of the 42055 BWE - Bucket wheel excavator, including the truck.

This is really great! Certainly easier to find a place to display and lots less costly.

Lovely MOC!

Perfect scale and perfect colors!

Nice moc. What is the black part used for the truck frame?

Cute

Its a Technic disc 2958 placed on some technic connectors. I must warn if you're going to build this: The rotating front gear is not yet available in yellow.

But you can always build my nanoscale version of the same set:

Thank you very much for the detailed information and for the alternative model. Anyway I was referring to the truck next to the excavator.

Ahhh... sorry, sometimes I cannot read... The truck base is a 2L liftarm with 4 round plates, the transparent slope and with tooth are not connected to the base at all.

Can you show pics of all sides? Share build steps? I want to make one. 

Also what is the piece number for the yellow bucket wheel?

Looks like part 41530: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41530#T=C but this has never been produced in yellow, looks like you'd need to spray paint it.

Can anyone help me with a parts list?
Thanks

[Gonkius]

Here you go! Let me know how it works. The number of bricks is low, but it's perhaps more complicated than expected to build...

Still waiting for 41530 appearing in yellow!

Thanks
