    Maybe you could free up some space by using pneumatics for the outriggers' "feet". On another note, any chance you could post some detailed pics of the modded front axle?

    Thank you so much for sharing the instructions! Really looking forward to building this and learning something new.

    Love it! And brilliant work as always, Sariel - thanks for sharing.

    It's been available in Switzerland for several days now.

    Stunning work there! Thank you for sharing.

    Finished building the minimal version and I'm stunned at how smoothly everything runs. Thanks Didumos69 for the awesome work!

    Hi there, I can't open lxf files on this computer so this is just a shot in the dark. Have you tried implementing Didumos69's 90° limiter? You can find it here. More info also here. (Any Italian reading the second sentence is going to have a laugh).

    You, sir, are a Lego artist.

    Got another copy from Amazon UK for £124 last week. As far as parts packs go it doesn't get any better.

    You're selling intellectual property that doesn't belong to you. End of story.

    One of the main issues with this model is that if any moving part goes ever so slightly out of alignment then it's curtains. When I finished building it it ran decently enough; a few days later I picked it up by the tower (using it as a handle) a couple of times just to move it to another table and after that it refused to work - the clutch gears kept slipping. I replaced them with regular 24T gears and now the model works again but the motor sounds like it's going to blow up any minute.

    I've only got one, mostly lousy MOC under my belt so it was easy for me to credit the builders I drew inspiration from. A prolific MOCer, on the other hand, is more likely to end up incorporating too many third-party ideas into his MOCs to keep track of them and give them due credit. It's an entirely different kettle of fish when someone blatantly copies a unique design and explicitly passes it off as his own.

    I think you can do away with the A arm if you use a properly mounted Panhard rod. It'd fit great on your axle.

    A 9L rod makes the sideway displacement virtually unnoticeable.

    What about a 9L Panhard behind the shock absorbers?

    That's a truly phenomenal build. Hats off to you, sir.

    This line cracked me up It's one of the reasons why I enjoy your build diaries so much - they're so genuinely British, which is a godsend for a nostalgic, long-time expat like me. I hope things get better soon. Don't feel bad about mistakes and slow progress - it's good to challenge yourself but not at the expense of pure enjoyment.

    The jerky crawl is indeed due to the U-joint. The other functions should run smoothly, though - I built mine a year ago and it still works great. As a rule, you should take the time at every stage of the build to ensure all the gears and axles can spin freely.

    I did all the tests using an assembly like Tamas' (http://bricksafe.com/files/Tamas_Juhasz/misc/Turntable002.png/800x433.jpg), so no room for unduly protruding parts. In the end I found a turntable that ran smoothly (good thing I have half a dozen or so). I can only assume that a batch of ever-so-slightly dodgy Z60 turntables managed to worm its way out of the factory. Interestingly, if I use the whimsical Z60s to drive the bevel gear everything works fine.

    Very sorry to revive this old topic but I've run into the same exact problem experienced by Tamas. I've tried four spanking new turntables and no end of 12T bevel gears and the outcome is always the same - rattling, jerky and occasionally locked-up transmission. Is there any way to fix this?

    There can never be too many photos of a build, especially when it's as complex as the Claas. I ordered another copy today since Amazon UK had it down to 80 quid again - I was going to use it straight out as a parts pack but after seeing the pictures of your work my fingers are itching to build it a second time. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into completing and sharing your work.

    Looks great so far. As for the bodywork, you might mix white, orange and black. Lipko pulled it off to great effect on his telehandler. Not sure how good it'd look on a tank but it's worth a try.

    If you're into MOCs - especially big ones - then the 42055 is a tremendous part pack and much more affordable than any comparable BL or BO order.

    I think Sariel already cleared everything up. Just an addendum regarding automated/machine translation (not necessarily the same thing) - it's not so much a matter of language complexity but, rather, language connotation. As long as connotated language exists - and we'd better hope it always will - machine translation cannot replace human translation.
