[MOC] Dressta 560E Extra - wheel loader

[Bricksley]

Hello everyone :)

Today I wanna show You my newest MOC - it's wheel loader Dressta 560E Extra - 1:21 scale. With full PF control and classic MT cover.

Real machine:

This is my second approach to this model, but that was 10 years ago and hmm ... today there is nothing to brag about;)

This time, my main goal was to focus on the appearance and details (stairs, railings, fenders, cabin interior, body elements) hence it took a lot of time during building.

In addition to the appearance, we also have a fully remote controlled model based on the elements of the PF system.
- drive: PF L, full 4x4 with differentials on each axle, the rear is pendular, additionally working (while driving) cooling fan,
- turning: PF L & two small actuators,
- raising the arm: PF L,
- bucket rotation: PF M, the only motor placed on the front frame - just like the cab,
The whole powered from the rechargeable battery box placed in the back - unfortunately it is fully built-up, but left easy access to the switch and charging.

Your attention to detail is terrific. Oh how I wish my 42030 looked this good.

Great work!

Many compliments! It is very well done, and full of details.

 

Maybe you should change Yellow rims with black ones, leaving the Yellow caps. In this way, the tyres will look bigger and the rims smaller, like the real wheel loader

What an amazing model!
I like how it looks massive and how it's well detailed.

The use of radar dish for the wheels is a great idea!

I like also the fins for the fan and the technical detail of the differential on the front axle

You're right, but only in half ;) When we look at the side, changing color of the rims would look better. However if we look from the front we see inner part of the rim and here the black one would look much worse. So I decided to compromise and I used a yellow color ;)

It's old M_longer's idea ;)
