42060 C-Model: Combine Harvester

[DaFokka]

My girlfriend gave me the 4260 Road Work Crew for the holidays (you can see her present in the back of the pictures). I thought it'd be fun to have a go at building a C-Model. I grew up in a rural community and combine harvesters were a common sight in my youth. Without further ado, this is the result:

The model has the following functionality:

• The mower drives the conveyor
• The conveyor almost reaches the hopper
• The hopper can be disconnected
• Rear-wheel steering

The model is more fragile than I would have liked but this is the best I could manage with the limited part selection. The colours, stickers and the anniversary brick work out quite nicely.

Some more pictures can be found in the Instagram post.

Judging by the general shape, placement of the trailer and function of the model I'd say this is a good representation of a forage harvester. Nice work. I'd like to build this myself!

You made me buy the set, which was on sale in a store near by me (I payed less than 16 € for both 42060 and 75877 lego speed champion mercedes amg gt3). I will try to build your model by looking at the photos.

Thanks.
