    The bonnet now is really as perfect as you can get with the current Lego parts available. Great work, Igor :-)

    I just got the question for instructions, so I wanted to share them for free with you guys: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-83691/Jundis/lanz-bulldog/#details

    I think both sizes fit well, as even the original Unimogs had 'unusual' big tires in some variants:

    Thank you! Go with your guts, I also have 3 favorites so far :-) We still use the normal, old formula 1 style of vote, or not? Thanks, guys :-)

    Thanks! The final parts arrived today, so I could finish the build. Pics are below. I'll do a short video tomorrow, showing the functions ;-)

    That's one big beast, great B/C-model :-) I wish I'd had more time on my hand to also realize my B-Model idea...

    Would also be great for my built, 1 week more and I can finish the built :-)

    I really like this! You interpretation and the creativity made this recreation really unique :-)

    Coming back to your question: If you just start MOCing and don't have lots of parts in your collection, I would really suggest you use stud.io as it is linked to bricklink and you can easily order missing parts and also virtually try different configurations without the need of a big collection. Markus Kossmann once said that the Lego designers only build in RL, as they have the complete pallet in front of them. And (as many others here stated), a RL build really shows the mechanism in working condition. For my first MOCs, I had many instances that I completed a MOC virtually, ordered parts and then saw that something didn't work out. This can be even some impossible combinations which can't be assembled in RL. Now, my usual approach is: 1. Start with a stud.io-built till I think "This and that main assembly seems to work" 2. Order some parts, if needed and built assemblies separately, like you would built a real Lego model 3. Test it and improve it 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 till your model is finished :D

    The use of the fender is really ingenious ;-)

    Jep, this is definitely one of my 3 favorite builds in this contest! The wheels on the buggy are soo cool :-) I don't think so. Your idea is a truly ingenious, as it is thinking outside-the-box ;-)

    @Akassin Don't worry, we are in the same boat
  13. Jundis
    I really comes together quite nicely. The black fenders make the wheels look even bigger :D The front however looks a little bit to stubby in contrast to the more pikey nose of the original... have you thought about using 7L liftarms instead of 5L on the hood?

    I just scrolled through the pages and one thing bugged me, as the gear puzzles on page 8 are not really well thought out. The first challenge is easy, but the options for solutions are only "to the right" and "to the left", which really is awkward, since the red bent arrow is placed in such a way, that it points to the left in both directions... the arrow should be way smaller and above the gear in question. The second challenge is way harder, but really intriguing. I guess I'd really struggle as a kid to see and understand exactly the twists of the worm gear shown. The third one should have a third solution "nothing is happening", since the red clutch gear doesn't grip on the axle.

    @Jim I hope this post fits here. According to Promobricks, the EOL list is out. Again surprisingly, the 42124 will be gone, just introduced this year... bad sales?

    Hi guys, as I moved to a new city, I didn't have much time to further build the model but at least assamble the core structure with a few bricklink orders. I really hope I find the time to finish this model in the remaining weeks :-) On the downside, the crane will not be able to lift both the container and the little tractor. The wheels of the tractor are just to heavy and the crane, as it has a off-center mounted beam, can't support the whole weight and is bending awkwardly. But as I remember from my childhood, this was also the case with the 6352, as the winch would always unwind if not held and the crane tipped over in some positions when fully erect, so I guess I'm keeping it original :D

    If you want more speed, you loose torque. For a climber, I think this speed of the model is appropriate.

    This and also the 42128 are perfect examples that models don't have to have a license to look cool and stylish :-)
  19. Jundis
    Still we also have no clue about 42127 and 42130.... even when are they being released? I mean the first 2022 wave should be january, right?
  20. Jundis
    I think Markus Kossmann explained it in an interview, that when the designers settled for a model, they build different versions (scale, mechanics, colour, etc.) and then select one to improve on further. In some designer interviews the different models and/or iterations can be seen in the background. The 6x6 surely lurks around on a side board in the workplace of @grohl ;-)

    What a glorious B-model! The look perfectly resembles the original, and the functions look superb :-)
  22. Jundis
    Or replace the 90° connector on the knees with universal joints ... no wait, this wouldn't work either xD
  23. Jundis
    Very cool build! The rotating mechanism of the log grab is really clever :-)
  24. Jundis
    Just a typo, you mean 62.4mm ;-) *Edit: Nevermind, I mixed up tires and wheels... For a 1:17 truck, the Arocs wheels are perfect. But they new thin 49.5 are maybe a good addition for the breed of 15 stud wide trucks. If TLC managing to get as much functions in these smaller scale, I am more than happy. A 42128 with the MOD for the newer, narrower 49.5x14mm would be a nice thing :-)
  25. Jundis
    Very clever use of this fork-like piece as mounting for front wheel :-)
