    Wow very nice little excavator with maximal features included in this small size...even pneumatic hoses look very big compared to model

    each color in separate container and my wife says that LEGO takes more space that her shoes

    some futuristic bodywork will suit better to name Plasma IMHO ...something inspired with this or this

    About Unimog progress; gearbox is 75% finished, but I need to optimize some things and make whole gearbox complex more sturdy, simple and first of all to fit in available space. When we talk about simplicity I've made some changes - there is one driving ring with two state - one for front and end pto and one for tilting platform... Photos will be made asap

    You're welcome now all what I can do is wait to see model with this engine

    This will end as a chalenging but at the same time great project, so keep with good work. Btw engine is on one hand simple and on the other creative, so it is a great kompromise like LEGO should always be.

    I know the feeling - but what does not kill you makes you stronger (but not strong as Unimog ). I hope to develop most of gearbox this weekend and to update gallery asap. We have to be positive, and the less variety your parts allow us, the more creative we become. Regards

    ...well where I live (Croatia) there is no bricklink seller that has one, there is no set that contains this battery box on sale here and companies that are responsible for package delivery do not guarantee that I'll receive this part. Just one example - when I've ordered tennis shoes for my wife from Germany delivery company did not inform me that package has arrived and package was sent back to Germany...and there is much more - stolen tires - specially Power puller which are not cheap, etc. Unlike people in States, here in Croatia people (who are on all managing positions and media) newer wanted Croatia as independent state, they wanted to live in Yugoslavia so (unfortunately) they (mis) use every opportunity to make things complicated or impossible to everyone else - that is Communism legacy, only now they call them-self Antifascists, Social Democrats, Liberals...but enough about this tragedy. I'm sad that things (stil) work that way here but many thanks for advice and honest intension.

    I have never built airplanes as Technic models, but to make Hawker Tempest, Typhoon or even Napier-Heston Racer is what I would suggest

    It seems that you managed to fix biggest disadvantage of this set and make it faster in all functions
  11. 1gor
    Interesting model, color combo is something on what I have to get used (Usually no CLAAS front end loaders are around ), but functions are something really good based on parts from 42054 set.

    I also plan to make 3800 saddle trac in future, but first to finish my Unimog, then oe telehandler and then probably Saddle trac 3800 based on 710/70R38 tires to represent 1:18 Scale model...probalby something like this ... It would be great when we could have bigger tires with Unimog-like pattern to make model for model from Video you posted - but only for display and not for testing applications like on video Enjoy.

    Nice build Reading this topic brings me back in history and associations with this
  14. 1gor
    ...did you try to replace wheel hubs from front to back and vice versa; perhaps wheel hub is to loose? I assume that you set things up cotrectly accourding instruction booklet
  15. 1gor
    ...or you can use this part https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=64712&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 With Tumbler tire and use gear 16 tooth to transfer rotation via kardan axle to engine like todays BMW bikes...

    ...if there is something like this part to fit inside tire - that would be solution...
  17. 1gor
    You can use this link to see the progress despite my intentions to post "progress" images on this topic and see what parts you have and what you don't have...and enjoy building. I see on your blog that you have smaller battery box - something what I've missing to make shorter version of Unimog...

    Welcome back . Sadly there is not enough room to implement portal axle hubs something like this inside this wheel. Very nice development
  19. 1gor
    Tamas, as Unimog fan (currently working on one 1:18 Implement carrier) I can say it is real beauty; such nice proportions, nice details very authentic colors, optimal propulsion solution, despite I'm more Technic fan, this one is really really impressive, even more that Porsche (IMHO)...

    Only thing that I can make smother is front hood to make it more like models on Scale modeling forum subgroup...but due to chassis construction which is oriented on front axle suspension traveling, I'll see what is possible, I don't know if this would be sturdy enough; I'll try after model is finished to tweak it a little bit, but I wanted to make Technic model....thanks for idea
  21. 1gor
    Beautiful model of my favorite 911 Porsche. Very nice at such scale

    problem with hitting frame was described in Jim's review (please read it) -it is all about one pin (if I'm not mistaken..). 42054 set looks disproportional with Unimog tires, but partly you're right - since utility tires on 3800 are 185cm in diameter it is the same tire scale as 42054 set 1:20...5000 VC has 215cm tires...only 3800 is smaller model. I understand that your model has more similarities with 3800 or 3300 series, but you can always use "Artists freedom" when recreating your models...

    Perhaps you can find something useful here
  24. 1gor
    Thanks for pleasant reply Front axle is now different - it has a steering mechanism something like Mercedes Arocs...perhaps you can see here... and a portal axle hubs are partly integrated into wheels (the reason that I use wheels from Black Cat - model team and not usual LEGO Technic 62.4 X 20...)

    ...a little progress...cab is finished and model features 4 cylinder engine like it should... Model is starting to look like Unimog, now the most complex part - gearbox needs to be updated... ...stairs are also finished...
