Thanks! Winch attachment will be scaled down, but hook will be the same to make it functional even in such a scale.
-
Thanks! I'm glad you like Maybe it is a bit oversized, but I have no idea how to make it smaller and note that original set is 3x bigger, so keeping exact proportions is hard in this scale

Ordered some parts and upgraded windshield: The crane attachment has been upgraded as well, now uses small linear actuator, so is much more stable (and now can't be folded as original one): As well as outriggers are functional (they can lift rear wheels): Made some prototype of front in Stud.io: Same scale as 42147: Size comprasion to original 8110 set:

[TC25] 8109 Flatbed Truck

Looks very cool with almost proper colors already - looks actually like original set. I ordered some parts recently for Unimog and future projects, so I know what you feel 😬. -

To make pretty strong mirrors, you can make it with technic parts as me in my mini Scania: -

What about using 63868 placed on 3L bar instead? -

Looks very cool so far. What about using panels #7 and #8 on the doors and corners? Also I prefer more Technic front, might you try on digital model to replicate this that you have IRL? -

What about changing cab's front corners to small 2x3 panels fairings #7 and #8 to make wider grill so it would be more accurate to original set. Isn't it possible to make HOG without joints, just with axles? Whole truck is long so HOG placed a bit more on the front wouldn't be problem. Also I'd recommend for you make mudguards with axle and pin connectors or hose, to make model more neat and again, more accurate to original set. -
Although I haven't finished Unimog yet, made crane attachment for it: To attach it, you have to push these brown 3L axles into pin holes: I recommend using longer axle for that (8L would be enough), as well as to detach The functions of crane are: - rotation (360 degrees) - rise/lower - functional grabber which can be rotated infinitely as well - functional outriggers Let me know what do you think about it

Thanks for advice. Yes, on the front there's 5L liftarm. Bulb pieces would look too much like balls, in 8110 set warning lights are more 'square'
-
Thanks! Made some progress with it, added bed (with opening sides), finished rear and added some details like air intake, exhaust pipe and warning lights. Also I have a question, which warning lights would be better? Yellow ones (as original set) or orange ones (as real ones)?
-
Thanks! At first I was a bit afraid of the front, but I like how it turned out. Still needs some details like mirrors, air intake, etc. though.

Had some issue with front axle after raising front suspension (because was too low) in Extreme Cruiser, and didn't have idea how to slove that, so I decided to make something more functional. This mini Unimog is 3x smaller than original one: So far it has HOG steering and pendular suspension on the front axle and mostly done cab.

Looks very interesting! Cab looks a bit odd to 42098 set, but love that you managed to fit 3 pistons and tilting cab. The car is colorful - are you going to slove that? And are you going to make trailer for the truck? Btw, I'm not only the one who changed idea for set to make mini version. I decided to minimize 3x 8110 Unimog ;)
