    Hello! I finally completed my new Moc: a Volvo L120H wheel loader in 1:17,3 scale. I started this project about 1,5 years ago, then I had a pause during last spring/summer, and I restarted working on it on October 2017. It has 4 powered fuctions: - forward/backward (L motor) - steer (2 mini LAs powered by M motor) - rise/lower main arm (2 LAs powered by L motor) - bucket (1 mini LA powered by M motor) All the electric components are hidden inside the bonnet, except one M motor which is in the cab. The main goal was to obtain the correct movement of the arm and the bucket. I worked with the original drawings scaled to the model size. At the end, the linkage works quite well and the bucket stays parallel during the movement of the arm. The battery box is on the back and can be easily be easily removed to change the batteries. Stickers are home-made. I'd like to change the rims with the 6 pin holes rims, but at the moment I only have the 3 pin holes ones. FInally, a short video, but I'm going to make an outdoor video soon : Enjoy!

    The set itself has maybe many issues. But it is in my buy-list for the many and many panels. 8 white 8 red 16 black 9 light bluish grey 4 orange I think this is a great list of panels!

    Wow! I like the model very much, and the photos even more. Great work

    A differential yes, an engine maybe, but you should have an opening bonnet them and this can be more difficult... Thank you everybody for your appreciation and comments!

    A mix of study, design process, try and re-try, and luck!

    Amazing and huge! I like it very much

    Because I had a 5x11 panel to be used on the roof, and it has no holes in the middle. So I preferred to leave the roof as smooth as possible,and I moved the knob on the rear

    Thank you all! Only the second one can be used on these wheels, but at the moment they are too rare and expensive. Let's see in the future

    Hello, I show you my new MOC: Iveco Daily in 1:17 scale. This is an addition to my construction crew. I needed it to bring workers and small items on the construction site. Also planning to add some small machines in the future (mini-excavator and skid-steer loader). This truck is simple and with only manual functions. Hand of god steering: Tipping body (with mini LA): And opening side panels: I hope you like it

    This matter brings me back to 1 year ago, when I was facing the same with my Volvo Loader (in my case, the linkage is a little different than the standard Z-linkage). I worked a lot with autocad, but at the end the result was very good. Here is a preview.

    Very good way to shape the angled lines of the Volvo cab! I've the same project in mind (mine will be a simple tractor), and I'm curious to see how you will make the front grille with technic elements. I already have an idea, and what about you?

    I also think it is 5L in the leaked image. It has a different design than the 3d posted here. But maybe the real valve now is like the 3d and the leaked image showed a previous version of the valve.

    Since the introduction of pneumatic system v2 last year, we don't have any new set with pneumatics? Very strange. I dream of a pneumatic flagship this year.

    Lego introduced the new manual pump last year in 42053, so in my opinion it will be used someway this year. From the information's we have now, could it be possible that the fire truck will have pneumatics? Or other sets?
  15. mpj
    So up to now there are no pneumatics in 2017 sets?
  16. mpj
    Very good design! I like it.

    I'd like to see the preliminary images too

    This year we even don’t have rumors about 2h sets. I remember that last year we had specific names (volvo ew160e, class xerion, etc) in autumn…

    Thank you! The model is 90% complete, I will post photos and video soon.

    12. Liebherr 914 Compact excavator Functions: - 3 standard digging functions of the arm (pneumatic) - 1 side shifting function of the arm (pneumatic) - raise/lower blade (pneumatic) - 2 hand pumps (one for the arm and one for the blade) to have free rotation of the superstructure - 180° opening door (manual) Photos: Link to discussion topic: Video: Good luck everybody!

    Right! I've already done the photo session, but I will replace them for the video. Thanks Yes other buckets are possible, I tried to give a chance to the buckets of the Arocs . Here are other photos:

    Great job!

    Hello! My model is complete, unluckily I had no time to take photos of the progress - I worked on it during the night - very short time for building and bad time for photographs. This is the first photo. Then I will prepare the video. I hope you like it!

    Hello, I show you some progress on my excavator. It will be definitely a Liebherr R914 Compact. I'm working very slowly, around 4-5 hours in the weekends, so I hope to complete it in time for the contest. Here is the current status: I've completed the undercarriage and added a pneumatic blade, moved by 2 small cilinders. I put a small pump to be operated manually. I preferred this solution instead of runnung an hose from the superstructure. In this way the excavator is free to rotate 360°. The arm is 90% complete, except the "hidraulic" lines. I've used the buckets from the Arocs to create a single large bucket. I had in mind also a quick coupler system to change bucket with other tools, but I think I will add it after compliting the rest of the model (if I will have some time before the deadline! ) Finally I'm working on the superstructure to try to reproduce the compact round shape Any suggestions or comments will be very appreciated

    Well you are doing an amazing job! I wish I was able to make projects virtually before than in real.
