Tung's (Casual.Lego.Enjoyer) technic alternate builds collection

[tungpham]

Since I don't want to spam the forum with new topics for every new alternate build (even though I would not have many), I've decided to edit my first topic posted a few months ago and turn it into a place where I share all my Lego Technic Alternate Build photos. Enjoy!

----------------------------------------- 

Hello everyone, I have been here and enjoyed others' incredible creations for a while but this is the first time I build something that I could share with you guys. 

Let me show you my recent MOC - 42081 C Model | Backhoe Loader.

I first just wanted to have some large tractor tyres so I bought a secondhand 42081 (because this is the cheapest set to get those tyres). However, I'm not so keen on the original ZEUX, I decided to turn it into something that I could like more. So here it come the 42081 C-Model | Backhoe Loader.

I hope that you like this!

The instruction is here: https://reb.li/m/159597

Featuring:

• Working in-cabin steering wheel.
• Working in-cabin controller (back crane rotation).
• Seat rotation.
• Front bucket lift.
• Front bucket tilt.
• Stabilise stand.
• Raising / Lowering back wheel compactor.

Wow, that is some high-level photography!

It looks like a nice C-model too--definitely better than the original set, I'd say. Have you tried adding a bucket to the rear arm, even if it requires parts from outside the set?

Regrettably, I wasn't able to design the rear arm to facilitate easy attachment changes. I haven't tried the bucket but If I had the part, I would also have to redesign the rear arm to work with it.

Great job, and the presentation of the functions is very descriptive. Impressive functions considering the parts available.

I'm really glad to hear that. I was worried that the images is not descriptive enough. Still working on the video to show the Backhoe Loader in action. I will update it soon :D

Tell us how did you shoot the photos, I'm amazed at the shots, the edits and the overall production.

The model itself is outstanding!

I think, @Milan, this deserves frontpage :P

Amazing mod! I am already collecting the parts from my inventory (I did disassemble the set long time ago :D).

Well, I'm lucky that my wife is a professional photographer so I learned a thing or two from her :))

I have just made an additional video to show the functions of the Model :D

42081 - Backhoe Loader

I know there are a lot of great alternate builds for the 42122 - Jeep Wrangler, I would give it another shot.

This build is inspired by @Ngoc Nguyen Mini Claas 42054 version but I couldn't say it's a Claas so just call it the Tractor with Variable Cabin (Trac VC)

Featuring:

• Cabin rotation.
• 3 modes steering.
• Winch attachment.
• Plough attachment.
• Dozer Blade attachment.
• Attachment stand.

There are 3 modes steering however due to the parts / size constrain, I couldn't make it easier to switch between modes (see the video for detail - The Tractor in action)
