Great job! You've packed so many features into such a small model, which is admirable. It looks a bit bulky, but it's a good opportunity to work on future versions.

Hard to say. Renault its clearly corected/generated by AI. Sad.

The model turned out very aesthetic! The level of detail is really high for a technic vehicle. It's nice to see something classic, not just modern trucks, in this scale :)

It's great to see you have the patience to finish this project after so many months of construction. It looks great so far. I can't wait to see the final result. I really like the side profile of the hood!

Disappointing. I regret even more that my JCB excavator set didn't come out from the factory...

First time seeing this guy :D Sometimes, when I have some free time, I watch reviews of my sets. Seeing how rushed and uncaring the reviewers are is embarrassing. Sometimes people complain about a poorly built component, only to discover it wasn't built according to the instructions. Instead of going back and fixing it, they blame the designer. Well, you have to be the first. This is 2025 social platforms :)

This isn't really a preview. The set has been available for some time. Unfortunately, it went largely unnoticed because distributors haven't received their batches yet. Below is the official video and, a link to the CADA store with more information. I don't know if I'll record a longer review yet, as I've been a bit busy lately finalizing another CADA set. This one's from a completely new field for me. CADA website - Nasa Space Shuttle Discovery | CaDA C56052W

How can you write such rude comments? :) I've read here many times that models with one engine and gearbox are the essence of Technic. We got what we expected, didn't we? :)

The 42100 set cost $450 at premiere. It included 7 motors and 2 technic hubs. I really like the Volvo excavator, but its price is a clear **** of customers.

You need to wait minimum half year after set realise.

Very unusual idea for a MOC. I will be following and rooting for this project!

Well. Finally they have my attention. I hope there will be a new control system.

At this point I am literally tired of the amount of cars in the technic theme...

I was there... The Lego stand was completely built up. You could only get inside if you were invited or had an appointment. Last year Lego was not at the fair at all. They complained a lot that everyone around them was copying their new products.

Why should they be on opposite sides? JCB 220x has nothing to do with the 8043 set. Here each actuator has its own motor and in the case of this place they are additionally coupled together. I am always full of admiration for your denial. I remind you that the technic theme started with technic bricks, which were a direct evolution of classic ones. Even if that doesn't convince you, the first models based on the lift arm system sold in 2007 also had a lot of system bricks as a finish. This isn't new or anything to rave about. It's something that people accept as the norm even if it's unacceptable to you.

I hope that will be a Wartburg! Nice low quality bite

I wouldn't count on it. Producing such large sets from a narrow group is a big risk. They cost a lot and the demand for them if they are constantly on the market doesn't have to be big at all. I know that dealers are waiting for the Claas set and customers are asking about it all the time. Let's hope that sales will be good then there is a chance for more such products. Thank you, guys. I did my best with the limitations of the official set. So far, the reviews and feedback from fans who have built it are very positive. Even better than I expected :) See you then! :)

It took a while but my review of the C61508W set is now available. I've added a few tips. Enjoy :)

The situation has been quite difficult for a long time. I can't write anything more, but I can assure you that we did everything to make the set available for sale. The fact that the set appeared in the new catalog gives us hope that we will finally finalize it. I respond to messages asking about the release date at least a few times a week, so the interest is very high. Do you have any confirmed information on this? So far I've only seen a few people pleading in the topic with wishes for new excavator/JCB set. Knowing how high the expectations of JCB are, I'm very curious how Lego will manage to meet them. Especially when I see some licensed sets in which the biggest resemblance to the original machine is the logo sticker.

Very nice photos and fantastically made model! Printed rims look very realistic but take away some of the brick atmosphere. I like how you made the truck drive. Is there a chance for photos of the suspension without wheels or some video?

There were no major changes. The ones that happened were the replacement of a tile type to put a print there or the replacement of an element due to a patent. Considering the number of bricks I don't know if we changed 1% at all. No, there is no proportional control.

The mower's folding linkage system is wonderfully organized. This is exactly what I would use if I were building this model. You are very modest but the current look of this model is no different from mine. Technic bricks can also give a very good look. Some of the scale elements are so small that if you want to build them to be durable there is no room for system bricks. I am waiting for more news!

Two large CADA stickers on a larger number of bricks were not my idea. In the prototype, these elements were built entirely of bricks. I know that with a set consisting of over 4500 elements this will sound absurd but there are certain assumptions of limitations that we cannot exceed. The prints increased the price but we decided that this is such an exclusive set that the number of stickers must be limited. Unfortunately, not everything can be reconciled. I tested several configurations for new rims and wheel covers. Unfortunately, there was no possibility of producing new rims (costs). When I used the dish in combination with a smooth body, they took away the charm of a brick building. I know it sounds very strange. However, I wanted the combine to be recognizable in photos and graphics that it is still a model made of bricks and the exposed rims give it that. I watched the ATBT and CleverPig review. I am glad that the reception of the model is so good. I managed to improve my skill in designing the set. It is not the same as designing a model for the instructions. Despite the size of this set, building it is very satisfying and laying cables is not frustrating In addition to CADA micromotors (3 pieces) There are several liftarms with pins on the ends. I think it is possible to build it with Lego blocks. Also remember that Lego does not have a 2x4 wedge tile so the stud will be visible. I cannot share the building instructions for this model. However, I know that after about 6 months from the premiere, CADA itself provides instructions for the MASTER series models for free. The file also contains a parts list. As a fun fact, I can say that I sent the final prototype to R&D in December 2022, so the development took exactly 2 years. This shows how much work it takes to produce such a large and complicated set.

Actually the front tire 94.3x38R and rear tire 75x30,5R both designed by me. Thank You! In the case of mixed technic and system brick models, you can count 1000 parts to 1000 grams (1 kg). Of course, there are small deviations, but this is an estimate that works for each of my models. The combine, as far as I remember, weighs about 4.70 kg (4567 elements). I think you can assume these proportions for similar models by other authors. I'm waiting for my samples and will try to record my review by the end of the year.

Yes. The model is available to order now in the official CADA store for $350 and free shipping worldwide. You have to remember about import duties if there are any in your country.
