Thanks. I'm on the counterweight. I should be able to get that done soon. I tried covering up the blue on the sides of the roof, but the tractor looked bloated. So no go, but I might try the curved slopes on the mirrors. Glad you like it @mpj Thanks for the high praise @jorgeopesi. I'm happy all of my MOCs bring you some enjoyment. I'll try to keep it going. @Captain Dee I'll trust you. I am a little out of my expertise, so I'll switch the tires for my upcoming additions.

Excellent. I love the headliner, the champagne flutes, and the blue pistons. This turned out great.

Agreed. Great job on the rear. Also, I like the changes to the front, it looks cleaner. Is the roof tall enough?

@I_Igor @Kio Liex yeah it is about 1:17. @Carsten Svendsen I agree, but the color was a compromise I was willing to make as there are a lot of things going on at the front. It was the best way I found to allow a PTO, a couple of mLAs, and steering while being able to hold enough on the front 3 point hitch. We got a red one last year, a yellow one this year, maybe next year we will get a green one. But I won't hold my breath

I spent some time this morning working on the roof. Its a little better as I added an orange connector #1 to the top mounting of the soft axle hoses. The curve is more progressive now. Good?

The front hood gap has been resolved. Agree with the roof as well. Looking at @steph77's 911, I am wondering if I can do something like this. I like having ridged roofs as this gives a good handhold while playing, so I'll see if I can come up with a good solution that gives a better curve.

Glad you like it. My understanding is the tires are mounted correctly, with the chevrons driving water and mud to the center for better traction and flotation. This is opposite of a car, with the chevrons driving water out from under the tread. Also, yes, 3 point hitch is more correct. Fixed. @Kio Liex I'll try to get instructions up soon. I'll post here. @trekman Thanks, I had to get the yellow line on the hood. @steph77 Thanks again, I am a fan of manual designs, so it was an easy choice for me. I'll change the steering wheel to the 3 stud design, and see if I like it better. This is another situation in which it would be great to have a 4 stud steering wheel. The scale for this tractor is correct in terms of height and wheel base and length. As such, the cab is correct. However, your eyes are correct, but it it due to the hood and fenders being about one stud too high to fit the engine and the tires. Finally, regarding the mudguards, my first couple of drafts used the Fischertechnic tires on the front which allowed for a fender, but changing to the balloon tires removed a mounting point, and I was not willing to move the tires out wider. I'll see if there is a solution, but there is little space between the hood and the tires.

Again, great. Mine is getting closer as well. The roofline looks great, as does the front bumper. I also very much enjoy the side sills; very racy. I'll be interested to know how you complete the rear bumper. The roof to rear deck to bumper is one of the hardest parts of the 911 to get right, and one of my greatest critiques of 42056. The small panels on the front hood interrupt the lines a little too much for me. Another option? Also, same with the little panels on the door. The 911 has very flat shoulder line, so I would raise the doors in a flat way and take this part out. I like the engine. It's a fun little idea for a complicated problem. Do the axles fall out when you tip the car?

The 964 911 is getting closer. With steering, opening doors and hood, and working flat 6. Oh, and a ducktail spoiler of course. There is a part of me that thinks 42098 is a little gimmicky, but I am falling for building cars in the scale. Those little panels are super fun.

I have watched in awe of some of the great tractors from that have been added to this forum in the last couple of months. So enjoy another one, even if it not at the same level of perfection. More implements are coming... The tractor features: -Rear Wheel Drive -HOG Steering -I4 Engine (Green of course) -Front PTO (on/off switch) -Rear PTO (on/off switch) -Front Three Point Hitch (HOG) -Rear Three Point Hitch (HOG) -Opening Hood And the rear with PTO and drawbar. And the bottom for a little idea of how it all fits together. Much more at thirdwigg.com, and you can view the full album on Flickr.com.

My eye tends to be attracted to the gaps that are created from the subtle curves of the panels and how its relates to the flat tiles and bricks. With the C pillar panel, the two diagonal lines of the top and back part of the panel distract from the roof and rear window lines of the car. It might just be the pictures, because the rest of the car looks sharp. And again, it's great to see a sedan.

@nerdsforprez you need Replacement Parts, not pick-a-brick. Here Click buy bricks, then search 42099. Looks like the fun parts are still in stock. It changes daily, so order while they are available.

Glad to see another supersedan. The dark blue looks sharp, though the transition between the system and technic panels is a little rough in places.

This is tractor is great, and each additional trailer makes it better. The simple steering and suspension system is great, and is a nice addition to the often boring trailer.

Me too. I'll wait until I can see how these motors and the app works in other contexts. I'l pay the price for the new parts that will work well in other applications right now.

The fun new parts, with the exception of the electronics, are now on Pick a Brick through Lego Shop at Home. Just ordered the hubs, CV joints, and others. The prices was a little steep, but less so than 42099 as a whole. Also got some of the new panels from 42098. If you are interested in the new parts, but not the full set, check it out.

I have so much respect for people who can place panels in so many complex orientations and fits. Well done. @Charbel want to travel to Michigan and help me figure out how to apply panels better in my cars? Also, I love the little garage studio you created.

Condolences to the friends and family who are left behind. May they have peace during this time. @Jim thanks for sharing this here. I often think that for those of us who have built relationships in online spaces, it is nice to know when one can no longer participate due to death.

I’m proud of my (nearly) solo adoration.

YES! I also love this set, and I'm thankful that I was helpful in your chassis modifications. Sorry about the slipping gears. Great addition to the 8081 MOD group.

Again great job. I was skeptical of the buckets for the rear of the superstructure, but it looks great and matches the design well.

OK, I have not touched this car for over a year now, so I am calling it done. Not finished, but no more work will be put into it. In fact, I already disassembled it. But I felt it still was worth sharing. Enjoy. Features: Steering (Wheel, HOG) Suspension V-8 Four Speed Tranmission Opening doors, trunk, and hood John Deere tractor inbound soon....

I love the way blue and orange go together, so blue is my vote. Also, I love when I see the Paint Roller part show up in technic designs. Well done on the excavator door.

Some fun ideas here. I look forward to seeing how this project develops.
