macsergey Posted February 22, 2017 Hello. The basis was taken the car VolksWagen Crafter. That's what came out of it 1. The model is made according to the drawings of a real car. Keeping all proportions, as far as it allows you to make Lego. 2. In the cockpit, a width of 6 pins, fits 2 minifigures DSC_6182 by Сергей Антохин, on Flickr 3. Platform length sufficient to fit her SUV 4. The winch is mounted on platform 5. 6. With Outlook can finish and go to functions. 7. The platform is fully functional 8. Before raising the platform, lower the support. They, too, not just props, and do not really give the car to lean back. 9. After lifting, the platform retracts 10. Hydraulic pistons lifting platform. 11. You can begin the evacuation. The car picks up the winch. 12. And dragged onto the platform. 13. After that, the platform rises up and down. 14. Loading is complete. 15. The model has opened the door. 16. 17. Compare the size minifigures and a tow truck. The driver next to the tow truck. 18. Thank you all for watching, I'll wait for your comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supertruper1988 Posted February 23, 2017 This thing is so COOL! I really like the working platform. Would you be able to show how you made that mechanism? I really want to build something similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinioncorp Posted February 24, 2017 Very impressive. A lot of functionality in a tight package, all while looking stunningly accurate to the source material. Well done! My only suggestion for improvement (which clearly isn't required considering the final product that you've put up, but I'll say it anyway), would be to swap the trans-clear headlights for trans-black to more accurately reflect the dark surrounds of the headlights.

PUCI Posted March 6, 2017 Very nice design. The cab work very well, especially the inclined bonnet, and the rear had incorporated interesting mechanism and worked like the real thing. I believed this may be the first Crafter in lego (in minifig scale) I see on the web, it is excellent to see new vehicle is made from lego. (I always want to make a crafter too!) My only suggestion would be the wheelbase of the vehicle, from your photos, I think it is approximately 16 stud (front wheel centre to rear wheel centre), I would suggest take 1 or 2 stud away by moving the rear forward a bit, without modifing the platform, as it is common for the platform to overhang. The reason is that when I did my long wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter, I found 14 stud wheelbase seems a good minfig ratio. For short wheelbase Sprinter/ Crafter, I found 12 stud work well.
