    It looks bulky as pickup should be. Really good job

    But I trust you and trust is priceless ? I did not see loader here so I'll see in few weeks what is the price, but I assume that the price will be in Version area...
  3. 1gor
    Looking at the size of this set, price is not so high...and it looks like nice set and set that could be heavily modified...but first of all I'm waiting for @Jim's review because his reviews are my references ?

    @Imanol BB I'm working at the moment on few projects and one uses Tatra suspension with 94.3 (Unimog wheels) and overall width should be 21 studs. The only problem is that shocks have to be very low...so I'll peek on your solution from time to time...
  5. 1gor
    Ducky that could be solution, but someone should try it. ?

    I had the same dilemma with my mocs and despite starting to make small size 1:18, I have ended on something what can be mid scale 1:15. Sometimes LEGO parts do not allow us to make in desirable size. IMHO you have made smart decision to make it enough bigger to make it best compromise in-between size and functionality... Take the time you need and we will see your MOC optimized ?

    Well I remember just a Cab from your tga, but you know best?

    Honestly I like blue version but it is unusual (at least where I live). Panel 11 X 3 in yellow is rare and expensive so I understand your point. white model looks very clean (at least until first use). Usually I like small scale mocs, but they are very limited in functionality due to lack of space. What I meant about motor on telescopic arm is that it is unusual to see something like that but answer is in lack of space. Looking forward to see version II when you will find time for it... I agree on pneumatics with you; they often limit movements or just pop out where they are at least needed

    I have to be honest, I did not pay attention to excavators with telescopic attachment at all. Now I see this can be very interesting MOC. It looks very good. ? Perhaps yellow or orange as in your posted image of original machine would be better, but you know best what is doable in your situation. I assume that there is no possibility to use one motor hidden in bodywork because of complexity of construction (axle salad would probably be result)

    I think tires are little but to small, so I prefer original tires... To change steering to beacon light you will need extra gears and axles but this could be done
  11. 1gor
    But I think this year we have 6 sets with drivetrain (differential and engine): - 42075 (one diff) - 42077 (one diff) - 42078 (two diff's) - 42079 (one diff) - 42082 (two diff's) - 42083 (two diff's) And (I assume) seven sets with over 1000 parts...

    Now we have something like "introduction" for reviews that will follow-up... Thanks
  13. 1gor
    Perhaps pneumatic version (with new valve) would be more interesting, but that is for different topic: so.ething like 42081 mods and improvements. As I mentioned about 42079 set LEGO could also intentionally make such sets that give us joy modifying it...
  14. 1gor
    Interesting is that this works in Opera mobile browser and in Google Chrome don't... @Ngoc Nguyen is right about green color BTW...
  15. 1gor
    ? I'm getting message that folder is not public...
  16. 1gor
    @Jim maybe you're right...at least after your review I'll be smarter... The real (concept) is completely electrical so my thoughts are like this model is future of 42030... Perhaps is my opinion influenced by fact that I do not like operating linear actuators by hand ? Autonomous and futuristic machines are very interesting for me, even my current projects are dealing with futuristic systems tractors...
  17. 1gor
    A bit unusual to have such big set only with manual control, perhaps LEGO has spoiled us
  18. 1gor
    It is interesting concept but without motorization it looks like unfinished...perhaps someone will motorize it like 42030 set; who knows....?
  19. 1gor
    Could be, but I'm a bit old-fashioned and prefer single cylinder blocks like engine in original set. Just crossed my mind that a change in steering (rotating it for 180 degrees and of course adding two gears with 8 tooth) could help gaining space for at least one extra cylinder...
  20. 1gor
    Exactly ?
  21. 1gor
    I think there is nothing to add ? Let's see what could be done with this set, I assume that 4 cylinder engine can fit
  22. 1gor
    @M_longer first of all thank you for your modification by adding two extra wheels. It looks much better ...and if I may continue you could open new topic 42079 mods and improvements. I can only add that I think 4 cylinder engine could fit inside. Color combination is great (IMHO) and this is what I think LEGO set should be - good base with possibilities to be perfected when needed
  23. 1gor
    @JLiu15 I meant that LEGO does not offer big enough sprocket at the moment. Thanks for compliment. With the time you evolve your model to look as much as original
  24. 1gor
    Nice find guys ? A little bit offtopic - is there similar crane that uses 16.9r28 tires (much smaller version)? Thanks
  25. 1gor
    To se my Unimog just go through this topic.... Currently I'm waiting for parts to make right side door like this About your MOC, a time ago I was 90% tractor builder and still working on two systems tractors, but all my creations will have one topic in future... New Challenges have much bigger drive wheel and very small idler wheel, so it is very difficult to built accurate model. A while ago I had contact with Carsten who build this http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=375983 ...but I do not know if he had Eurobricks account And member @jorgeopesi made this small beauty http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=541369
