Nice detail with the logo on the side. -
I have waited all the time for some pictures of your new portal hub. The new axle looks great and placing the Universal Joint two studs more to the rim is really an improvement! Will there be any disadvantages when using the parts of the portal hub with the "slight grainy feel" (e.g. friction)?
-
It looks fantastic! I hope it was worth to do this little modification.
-
Nice job, Pat! Have you tried to use panels #5 and #6 for for the hood?
-
I also saw this MOC on Brickshelf yesterday. The presentation is quite cool and suitable.
-
Looks good and the model has a lot of functions in this small scale! As far as I know this model does have the exhaust on both sides. It's a Brabus...
-
Fantastic idea! I will also try to use these rims. 'Chrome Block City' for example has all the parts but these parts don't have a chromed underside...
-
Referring to your post in efferman's topic, indeed the grey rims look better then the black ones.
-
50 euros including shipping. Zmei_gorini4 did a very professional job!
-
I'm sure some of you are fed up with the Unimog and can't see it anymore... But here is a sneak preview of my overhauled Unimog U400 and my pneumatic tipping trailer. I also added rotating beacons provided by Zmei_gorini4. I will add some better pictures to my Brickshelf account later.

Nice model and video review! Personally I would love to see how the muscle car would look like when using the tires of 42000 on the rear axle. Is anyone able to show such a picture? Thanks in advance.
-
The points Pat_Ard referring to are good ones. I also would recommend to change these things. For a better realism you also can add a pneumatic cylinder for tilting the dump bed. When looking at the battery box issue, with some modifying you can put the battery box behind the seats. But this may require the use of a smaller battery box: http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=84599, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=87513c01

Nice! Have you tried to use black rims? I think this would look better instead of the mix of black, grey and red.
-
@ Cumulonimbus: Looks really good! Great job, efferman!
-
Looks great! Is it possible to show how this wheel cover would look when mounted on the original lego rim? Is this Wheel cover only mounted via the axle hole or does the 4 edges have any clipping function? @ Pat-Ard: Why not use a 900/60 R 42 as reference? This is also possible on the Xerion 5000. Just more expensive...

I can recommend these third party pneumatic hoses: http://www.ebay.de/itm/20m-Schlauch-SET-fur-TECHNIK-hose-tube-Pneumatik-Hydraulik-Druckluft-Schlauche-/181031508463?pt=DE_Allesf%C3%BCrdKind_Spielzeug_Lego&hash=item2a265199ef They fit perfectly on original Lego parts and they are a bit more flexible then the original ones. In my case it was also possible to vary the colours to my request.
-
Nice one! I'm really surprised that this kind of simple mechanism works quite well and seems to be reliable in all kind of curves you drive with the Unimog. I would recommend to use a large LA if possible. The mini LA cannot handle much load. I will try to put this mechanism in my own trailer (post #1509). Great, that gives your trailer a very unique touch! I also got my pair of beacons from Zmei_gorini4 this week. I hope I can make a video soon.

That's the guy I talked about in my first post...

Look at the other products this guy sells at the moment: http://www.ebay.de/sch/eisenbahn-nrw/m.html?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEFSXS%3AMESOI&_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2654 I'm aware of 3 sellers at this auction house who frequently sell MOCs which are made by Eurobricks members. They also use the freely available LDD files, create building instructions and sell them. Some time ago I reported every mistrustful MOC (which I definitely know from this forum) to the support of the auction house, but it seems this doesn't have had any effect. I remember a auction with building instructions for 30 Unimog attachments. At least half of these attachments were MOCs by Eurobricks members. I also gave Cypr-21 notice of replicas of his MOCs (snow blower and spreader) by a comment on his website. He never gave me a reply and he also deleted my comment. So, it seems not everyone cares about that... The least that I would do is to write to the sellers to refrain from selling my MOCs and those from other builders.
-
Nice video! I like the idea with the PF output on the rear of the Unimog and the function to extend the rear of the trailer. What do you use the second gear of the gearbox for, turning the crane?
-
Nothing special, ha! These beacons are great and add a nice step to a better realism. Hope I'll get mine during the next week. I'm excited to see the trailer more in detail, because this one is also in my building queue.
-
Really great model, I hope we can see it in action soon! I also would prefer to use the 6x6 dishes in red as wheel covers. Otherwise together with all the attachments it would be a bit too much red for my taste.
-
I love the green colour and the the shapes of the hood and the head lights are very good! Looks very promising with the attachments you've planned and I'm looking forward to the complete model!
-
Nice first modification, and even a realistic one. Is the dump bed able to tilt to all three sites? It seems you placed the pneumatic cylinder more in the left of the Chassis.
-
Wow, that looks really cool! I love those flashy colours.
