Well done, that's a lot of value for money!

This model is fantastic and I'm not even a racing truck guy. At first sight I would say there was something wrong with the headlights, but discovered these are stream-lined after searching for the real Mercedes Tankpool24. I've some questions though: in the design proces, do you use blueprints? How do you use them? do you keep the Bugatti parts aside from your collection or do you have another system for managing the limited parts?

you're right, checked it and it should be around 1:11 (wheelbase original 238cm, model 22cm).

Last month I got the idea of building an Unimog as alternate model of the 42082 Rough Terrain Crane "big red". When searching and reading about the different Unimog-series the type I really liked was the 406. The goals of this project: have fun; learn from sharing the progress of creating this model, I'm fairly new; only use parts of the 42082, it reduces the number of possibilities for me (it also means that I can't use shock absorbers); use an incremental approach: first goal is make a realistic model with minimal features (steering) and add other features later on (suspension, fake engine, gearbox, tipper, etc.) I started the process with searching for blueprints, then scaled the blueprint to the 42082 wheel. The scale that came out is 1:7 1:11. The next step was to create the cabin, below you can see the first version. There is still room for improvement! the snorkel need some improved spacing, now the red axle is visible; the headlights were difficult with the available parts, still need to enclose those further; the back of the cabin has to be finished. Added the wheel for scale. I think the next step is to create the chassis and make this as robust and realistic as possible. Let me know what you think about this project! Tips and constructive criticism is welcome!

Impressive MOC! Nice that all the technical stuff is below the cargo floor! And there is even a "pompwagen" (is that called pallet truck in English?)

If @nico71 is not going to tease you with this trailer, I'm. Can't wait !

Nice, I like how the front and rear bonnets opens like the real thing. Well done!

Fun! Thanks for sharing, subscribed!

Thanks for sharing @proran Nice MOC, love all the functions you've put in! Also the presentation in the video, text and photo's is a joy to read and watch!

The book of Sariel: https://www.amazon.nl/Unofficial-Lego-Technic-Builders-Guide/dp/1593277601/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=lego+technic+book&qid=1632584367&sr=8-3 and the books of Yoshihito Isogawa. All from No Starch Press. At least, that’s what I assumed when reading this paragraph of @2GodBDGlory.

Thanks @Milan for this wonderful story about your journey of making dreams come true! I still dream to create such a room one day, hopefully I can realise this in the upcoming years!

Yes, that's a good idea, my son will love it (and me too ).

Well done, in addition I also like the white/black striping and details!

Wow! Really would like to build this, if you need a review/check of your instructions, let me know

Thanks, can't wait till the next video .

Reminds me of JK Brickworks Orrery: https://youtu.be/chFF_t79qOM Found your video and this answers some questions about the level of accuracy and how its driven... It looks very good, but I would like more accuracy over the nice design.

Nice, that's a lot of power. I like colors like orange or lime in combination with black or some stickers, or maybe blue? The rear is ok, I think it should look like that.

Thanks, have fun! Thanks, yes, 117 parts and also some of the 6 spares were needed!

Happy to present you a couple of alternate builds from the 42101 Buggy. They are all tiny simple builds, but I hopefully interesting enough to share here. Before the summer holidays my son and I sorted a couple of sets out (from his Lego) to take those with us on the camping site. Then we can still play a little without taking to much luggage with us. These alternate builds are the result, we had a lot of fun and are a good way for me of learning Lego (and Studio) again after ~20 years without. The Articulated Hauler has the following features: articulated steering (with the exhaust pipe) tilting tipper bed small cabin with fake steering wheel openable hood The Wheel Loader has: articulated steering by just turning the cabin liftable the forks with a linkage to keep the forks level The Skid Steer Forklift has: liftable forks cabin with fake steer at minifig scale openable cabin The Grader has: articulated steering and front-wheel steering adjustable blade adjustable ripper (which really reaches the ground) Free instructions and more pictures are available on RB in case you're interested. Also tried a go-kart and an Unimog, but that didn't work out. The tires are to big for a go-kart and with this limited selection of pieces the Unimog was also difficult.

Nice B-model! I like the addition of the fake engine and tilting cab, well done. Yes, proportianal steering on all axles. @mic8per_ how do the outriggers work? Same kind of kned-locking like mechanism as on the 42108? Or is it modified?

Backhoe loader with not to many parts, sounds promising! The excavator seems tiny with this part count

Well done, fantastic functionality with only 700 parts, it's on my build list!

Well done, really good looking model and also nice that it is buildable with limited parts.

Thanks for taking us on this journey of building this CAT with a lot of humour! It was fun to read this extensive review!
