[WIP] Mercedes G Wagon

[Pat-Ard]

Hi folks,

today I want to show you my latest project. It's based on the idea of efferman - special thanks to him! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60459&st=775

The G Wagon fits quite good in my collection of Unimogs. I change some smaller things on the chassis and built my own cab.

And as usual I'm still waiting for some missing parts...

To keep it short... Pictures:

Have fun watching.

Nice nice :)

Very nice Mercedes.

Are you going to make instructions for it?

[Pat-Ard]

Hi folks,

thanks for your feedback.

@Dafgek81: There is effermans LDD for the chassis. I don' think I'll make a LDD for the cab, because there are used some illegal techniques.

really nice one :) well done!

Looks great, love white cars! Great build, immediately recognizable as a Geländewagen

Is this Efferman's compact 4wd chassis? Could you post an underbelly shot?

[Pat-Ard]

Again thanks...

Yes, as I already mentioned, the G is based on effermans chassis. Just one stud longer and some changes with the suspensions...

I' ll post more pictures on monday when I'm back home.

Very very nice!!! And what motors are you used?

[Pat-Ard]

Hi Nike,

since I used effermans chassis, there are used two L-motors for driving and a S-motor for steering.

Nice! Love the white.

Hi Horace,

thanks... I wanted to build a G which is used, which is for work, for what it was designed for. There are some people here in the Black Forrest who drive the G for the daily work in the forrest. The most of them are colored tan or a dull green. You can't see the mud on those ;)

And there are some rare white ones...

Because my G should fit in the collection of my Unimogs, I decided to make a white one. And sorry, no one would use a black G for forrestry work :D

Nice job, Pat! Have you tried to use panels #5 and #6 for for the hood?

[Pat-Ard]

Hi,

thanks again for the nice feedback...

@stefan: yes, I tried it, but these panels won't fit since the are 2 x 3. Maybe I give it a go again. Have to change the whole hood...

[Pat-Ard]

Hi folks,

it's me again. Today I received the last missing parts and so the G should be final, as final a MOC ever can be :)

Changed the hood - thanks Stefan!

Again special thanks to efferman. He did a great job on the chassis.

And I made a small video - nothing special...

Hope you like it...

[stefan_betula_pendula]

It looks fantastic! I hope it was worth to do this little modification.

[Pat-Ard]

Thanks Stefan... It looks way better!!!

[Milan]

Great looking G!

[skriblez]

Nice looking moc :) Looks just like the real one :)

[Hrafn]

You've really nailed the shape - it looks great!

[Kubavet]

As always.. It's perfect :)

[TinkerBrick]

Great looks. You should make and apply some stickers either International Red Cross or United Nations. The white colour kind of asks for it.

[Pat-Ard]

Hi folks,

thanks again for all the praise.

@Kuba: No, not perfect, but OK.

@TinkerBrick: Hmmm, no, I don't think I'll do this. The G fits perfectly in my set of forestry Unimogs!

And since a MOC is never finished, some more pictures. Little changes on the grille, the roof and the hood.
