aaah, those details are coming later, and no it will be a single cab. A "Doppelkabine" looks not good in my Eyes. sorry, for a 406 i have not enough skills in bent surfaces.

You are right. maybe my cabin is possible with the parts from the 8110.

the drivers cab is absolutely no problem. first what i do with the 8110, is to place this cab on it

yes i agree, the 8110 is exactly so ugly as the original U400

Thanks, blueprints are a big help to get the right proportions. pump it up to the tire size and then hold the bricks on the screen and place it at the correct angle.the little round part above the "Mercedes Star" should simulate an old Mercedes Logo which i have seen on a older unimog. the transparent tile under the star have only one reason: i have not enough yellow 1x1 tiles Or did you mean an other part? And please, say nothing about an U400. I try to keep this ugly thing out of my mind. the first thing what i will do with the 8110 is, is mounting an heavy duty series Cab on it. it looks thousand times better Yes, that is the reason. And currently i only hope that it will eliminate the gear slip. I have it not tested till yet.

maybe they wanted the friction to prevent the self switching. A few days ago i had want make a gear switch without friction and after a while it switched alone.

oh, iam not the first? anyway i have me decided to build a 6x6x4 Now i must only find a way, that the hoses doesnt jumps from the cylinders. Iam planning a pneumatic or hydraulic steering system like this pneumatic would have the advantage, that is easier to repair than the hydraulic version. But would it be exact too? edit: it seems that pneumatics would work

look between the tires, the axle is too low for a portal axle. I think it is only a 8297 Axle which is blocked to a solid axle, which is mounted like the rear axle of the 8048 Buggy. in the best way it is a 4 link live axle.

It should be a newer one, used on the Heavy Terrain Series. since the 80s the cab was only updated in little details. mostly at the radiator grill. The 8110 Unimog is used for the Communal Road Duty. They have portal Axles, but a relativ normal Truck Chassis. The U20 is for smaller things. Where the big ones are to big and normal trucks are have not enough offroad capabilitys Picture source

An Air show theme would be nice A pitts special Double Decker for example. or an waterplane theme with a Martin Mars and a de Havilland twin Otter

hm, a logging crane is nothing for me. If i build a crane then an other one. but iam waiting for your finished crane i have a new Drivers Cab update now i know that i have to less yellow and black tiles

A Saab Scania Viggen? why not. Or think you about the Blue Angels?

not in special Army, but an Offroad Tow Truck would imho look nice and a steerable rear axle would make sense

a 6x6x4? hm, the steering system would be complex. i think i must sleep a night about it. wait a moment why not going really complex? picture source

ok, then i will wait with this "experiment" edit: a little thumbnail

my thought was, that the additional Axle would add a lot of traction. or should i wait with this experiment till the 15to mil gl?

maybe is your Picture and my Picture the same chassis. yes you are right, the 4x4 looks better but have anybody seen out there a 6x6 in a lego version? btw, i have made a first shape test. please ignore the colour and i have modified my willys axle. now it has 1:5 and hopefully no jumping gears.

A new Project and a new Question: what Want you see more: a 4x4 or a 6x6 ? picture source Picture Source (post 29)

ui, this Daf looks great Thanks for the picture

sweeeeet

i think the 7L steering rack and the pushrods could be a good combination for you. i hope this was your question

i have a very old thing from the time before my dark ages. Very fast and very unstable while the cornering. Sorry for the bad Picture quality

Many many thanks For people who want it build, i have some hints: The normal 94.8 rims works too with the chassis. it would only be wider. The Black springs are working good with the naked chassis. By using with a Body, maybe the grey springs working better. the black springs on the front, are was compresssed from the willys body the half of thhttp://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?app=forums&module=post&section=post&do=reply_post&f=115&t=51058e way. the 20 tooth bevel gear in the next pic is the weakpoint of the drivetrain. before you go in heavy terrain, control that the parts in this area fits tight, to minimize the Gear slipping. maybe you will find a way to secure it better than me. for allwheel steering only build the frontaxle two times. and now have fun

First the most important: let us hope that robert Kubica Comes back soon on the racetrack. now to the less important: looks really great the F31 in the lego version

i think wee se the yellow (hard) Version of them Black = soft Dark bluish grey = medium Yellow = Hard
