[MOC] Mini Snowgroomer

[kodlovag]

I built this mini snowgroomer a while ago, but there is winter now, so it is actual to post.

It is the mini version of the 8263 set.

There are two functions operated by the white buttons behind the cabin

1. The front blade can be tilted left-right
2. The smooting plate at the back can be elevated

Originally I also wanted to elevate the blade using one of the seats as a lever, but the solution was too bulky, and I dropped it.

Awww, cute. Well done.

Very well done, looks rally nice and has good functions for this scale! Would be a fun official set!

Love it

[Hrafn]

This is great!  It could easily be an official set.

Nice little thing.

[Gray Gear]

At first glance I wasn't really that impressed, but when I realized there were small functions controlled by levers in the back that changed my mind. This is seriously cool. Well done!

What a cool little set! The two functions are great for this size and the looks are spot-on, blue seats ftw! :D

Did you try to exchange the 16T gears with the red ones with pin holes?

I swear I tried several colors for the seats, because I heard so many complaints abiut the blue seats in the official sets. But blue was the best fitting.

I have never considered to use the red clutch gears. The decision was about using the old or new type of 16T gears, and I selected the old style, from which I have exactly six in stock, and never used for anything because they might not strong enough. But perfect for this case, and actually looks a bit better here, than the new version.
