Hello, First time on this forum as I'm exclusively (but not today) a Technic builder so I do apologise if It's not in the right place.

After getting a bit stuck on my current project ( a 1/10 scale RC unimog ) I decided to try to build a smaller version out of bricks as a model to copy in technics.

I quickly ran out of parts and was forced to move the model to LDD.

So the Unimogs, 4 of them, 406/U900 and the longer wheelbase 416/U1100 with 4 seater variants or Doka as they are called

Size comparison: From top left 406, 406 Doka, 416, 416 Doka

Foreground 406, Background 416

The bodies are 6 wide and the wheels are a little over 8 (the blade on the front is 10 wide)

I attempted to recreate the Iconic curved bonnet of the 406/416, while not perfect it's as close as i could do:

The doors on all models open to reveal the Minifig seats 2 in the front and for the doka variants a bench seat in the back for 2( In reality they seat 3 on the bench)

406/U900

416/U1100 Doka

The 3 sides of the trays all fold down on every model

tray sizes

406 Doka: 6x5

406 : 6x7

416 Doka: 6x8

416 : 6x10

Each has portal axles (406 show only difference is red axle is longer on 416)

there is a 3-point hitch front and rear on all models

Great stuff! I love such combinations between Technic and Town things. Looks very functional and playable. :thumbup:

I like the idea of having a portal axle also in this size - don't think I have seen this before. What I'd like to know: Is the suspension as such functional?

Btw. the passengers of your unimogs frighten me a bit. Doesn't seem to be their usual job ... :wink:

Neither had I, they hold up ok pushing the brick built test ( just the axles, 2 seats and a door) even though each portal hub is only held on with the width of a half bush :cry_sad: . No the suspension isn't functional but I see no reason not to try it :wink:

And the minifigs are just what I had in the brick test model.
