  1. When I presented my first forage harvester Jaguar 900 in 2015, I did not have a specific vision of what my future collection should look like. When I decided that I wanted to build a 1:17 scale model, the model was disassembled and the bricks were used to build the Lexion 760 combine. At the end of last year I decided that I would like to have a forage harvester on my shelf. Then I launched a poll on my Facebook page and asked if I should rebuild the Jaguar or face the Krone BigX 770, its direct competitor. After a year of work, it was created: The model is a copy of the real Krone BigX 770 machine, i.e. a medium-sized forage harvester, which with the use of various attachments can chop corn or grass to create fodder for cattle. The forage harvester itself is equipped with seven engines: the XL motor is responsible for the all-wheel drive, and the servo steers the rear axle, which has no suspension due to tighter fenders. The next two medium motors are responsible for controlling the crop throw. Another medium, the motor, operates with a switch that turns on the current for the L motor, located in the intake system, which drives the PTO for attachments. The last medium motor, together with the small linear actuators, lifts the intake system. The model was controlled by three IR receivers. After building an additional attachment, one channel was missing. At the same time, I gave up my earlier plans to create a building manual for this model. So I stopped restricting myself and installed three Sbricks. Thanks to this, I got the ability to control the forage harvester with the PS4 pad and additional channels for LED lighting. I used this type of lights for the first time and I must admit that it gives much more lighting options than the original Lego lights. To keep the work lamps compact, I had to drill a 1x1 plate. It is true that Lego has such elements with a hole in its offer, but not in trans clear color. Sbricks allow you to adjust the light intensity. The whole is powered by a large BBox to get the greatest possible battery capacity. Unfortunately, it was not possible to bring the drive to the shafts in the throat. The problem is practically zero space inside because the L motor is inside As always, I tried to look like a real machine. The combination of Tan and Green colors gave a great effect. The forage harvester has a very distinctive and massive rear. I was able to reproduce the side covers and the entire rear quite well. Everything at strange angles folds into one whole without major gaps. The problem was the front panel with the lights arranged quite strangely in the original. Here I used stickers from set 75954 of the Harry Potter series cut to size with holes made with a punch. The rest of the stickers were cut by me on the plotter. I have a small problem with the roof, specifically its curves. Unfortunately, to better reflect the curvature, I would need elements that do not appear in the TAN color. EasyFlow 300 Initially, the forage harvester was supposed to work only with the EasyFlow 300 tool, which collects the previously mown grass to cut it. The structure itself is quite simple because it consists of a pick-up and scraper rollers. I took the patent for it from my previous square baler model. In order to fit all the mechanisms, I had to extend the whole thing by two studs, which made it seem more massive than the original. Unfortunately, no Lego solution was suitable for the cover, so I used a mosquito net to get a satisfying effect. To keep the shafts stable, I trimmed the axle 32 stud to a 19 stud length. In theory, these could be cut flexes, but their stability at higher revs was questionable and the whole thing is to work without failure for two days of the exhibition. EasyCollect 600-2 Although it looks much more epic than the previous one, its structure is more complicated. The six-meter maize collector comes in two configurations, 600-2 folded like mine and 600-3, where the side sections overlap one another. Knowing that the collecting belts will be thicker than the original ones, in this case the folded attachment would reach more than half the cabin and look unnatural. The side sections are folded by medium motors, one per side. Unfortunately they are visible. Initially, I wanted to put them under the side section covers, but found that there was too little space. The belts work very smoothly, thanks to the addition of additional tensioners with rollers, it was possible to eliminate vibrations during operation practically to zero. Earlier, observing the whole thing, one could get epilepsyv :D I wanted to use black bets with silver horns, but they got lost in their entirety and these elements should be exposed and stand out from the rest. The attachment has most of the original details, such as the handles holding the corn straight to the intake system. An interesting element are the large horns of animals that fit perfectly. Unfortunately, I had to paint them because they are not tan. Finally, I invite you to see the photos and videos. This was the first time I was doing multi-step color grading and using new video recording equipment. I hope you can see the results :) Gallery:
  2. The Luctor is back! And it's back with a bang hitched to it. A €600, 2.5kg, 2500pcs, one year build-time bang. And the video is on YouTube. Check out a more elaborate review on http://www.mocpages....moc.php/414168. To give you a hint: this is the first ever forage wagon made out of Lego bricks that can actually pick up grass and dispose it when the cargo is full. It took over one year to build, the pickup system for the grass alone cost me a full-time week!
