[Korni]

Yes, Pat, the doors are great! I like them, too.

[stefan_betula_pendula]

The doors are great and also the side tilting dump bed!

[Gene]

Nice door handle and the locking pin too!

[Rishab N]

Has anyone made the cabin tilt by pneumatics?

Also that's a nice red unimog!

Well I been busy trying different ideas.

First an updated snow blower:

It's version 3, 2 didn't even make pictures, based off a single action design I saw at Walmart, then found on YouTube. I just need new snow to test it.

A trailer for the Unimogs

Needs some works.

A crane attachment and half-track unimog

Both still need tweaking. Crane needs more counter weight, Half-track need air added. I couldn't find a real half-track unimog, so a what if.

And finally some tools

I'll currently working off the assumption of a 1:12 scale very rough.

And that was my long weekend, save the half-track which I had already built.

Hi Radar92,

I really like your trailer. Do you plan making instructions?

One of the best MOCers should make the Arnold Schwarzenegger Unimog

Hi Radar92,

No, I never got in to the whole digital stuff. I'd have to rip it apart to do that, plus the front end needs work(a lot). It's a version 1, a few bugs but proves the concept. It's really simple compared to most, 22 studs across, a double beam running 6 studs apart is the back bone. Mostly brick built save the axles, length was based off pictures and keeping it from bowing under load. When I make the changes to the front I take more pictures.

[Pat-Ard]

Never mind... It's really nice...

oh my goddess, they have made the mudguards wider than the tipperbed. was this the idea of Arni or of UNIKAT?

[Eigenbroetler]

why is the wider mudguards a problem? it looks ok, and does the job.

[Edwin Korstanje]

The Schwarzenegger is like a gay version off it, the real strong Unimog is the Brabus Black Edition.

I don't really like the look of that cab after the improvement, but great job!

it is not fully possible to open the flatbedwall, so it doesnt do the job.

VFracingteam, in my eyes the brabus is the gay version, because it looks ugly and its made for road. Arnies U1300 is made for offroad and with exception of the rollbars, cowbar and the too narrow flatbed, it looks great.

Which cab? the unimog, granted I was short on parts. The half-track was left-overs, cab based off my U20 design. The crane on the other hand does need more work.

Is there some part of the cab, if it is the unimog, you didn't like?

Somebody already posted the battery relocation to the flatbed to balance the weight of the 8110 but I can't seem to find it.

Would any one kind enough to post the link or the page if that said pics is located on this topic?

thanks!

I did not really like the half track one because it was kinda small :P

So I have had mine for a couple of weeks, got it for Valentines day. So far I have done a couple mods my self, the first one is a 6x6 with a trailer for the crane, all crane movements still work, and I also rc it with the servo and 2 large motors. The second and how it currently is with rear air ride, waiting for more cylinders to do the rest, a dump bed, need another big cylinder for it, and going to order me a XL motor to redo the rc for it, it also has some extra caging on the front, and a custom made air tank for it.

Hi, where did you buy those orange panels? from BL? S@H don't want to sell those

[Pat-Ard]

Thanks, stefan!

@Francisalmario: I ordered them all at one shop at bricklink, price was OK and the shop had 10 if them. I tried it at Lego directly, hab a very nice phone call, but those panels are licensed. They are not allowed to sell them seperatly.
