"The XXL Loader" Front-End Loader w/INSTRUCTIONS

[DLuders]

The French-speaking AFOL named "Alban" built fantastic, articulated Lego Technic front-end loader which he calls "The XXL Loader". It features extensive commentary, pictures, and a video. The 500-photo BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS are very detailed; a 75.6-MB downloadable ZIP file contains them all. Power Functions motors are used.

Find his 500-photo building instructions here (look for the "Notice" hyperlink): http://blogotechnic.blogspot.com/2009/10/l...e-montages.html . When you extract the ZIP file, just click "Yes" on the popup messages that talk about not encrypting the files. NOTE: All of his other MOCs on this page have instructions too!

I converted the 509 PAGES of Alban's Building Instructions into six PDF documents for easy portability and printing. Alban had made a series of photos in a sequence. I have numbered the pages 1-509 inside of the document, and the overall file sizes are MUCH SMALLER with PDFs instead of JPGs. You can download them from these MegaUpload SkyDrive hyperlinks below. Each booklet is 6-8 MB in size:

Booklet 1

Booklet 2

Booklet 3

Booklet 4

Booklet 5

Booklet 6

This is great :)

I like the non-modern technic look to it :)

brings back memories of "old" Technic
