This creation is packed with details! Well done, I like it.

Happy birthday to all!

I remember some topic with similar thematic. Final thought there was that different colors make it easier for kids to build the set. It is much easier for them to judge where is next piece going to be, according to the ones already placed.

Ha ha, I like them, they look funny! The hair pieces are great!

First, thank you all for such nice comments! I really appreciate that. For the questions: -about weight, it has 6kg :) -about the cylinders...they work via gear racks placed on the 1x15 Technic beam (or any length you want) and worm gear. I have been working on it for about 5 days to make it small and thin like this...oh and XL is stalled when pressure is too much, the cylinder wont break! -about BS gallery...is is not public yet. But my connection was very bad and I have uploaded only few pictures. Ok, I have uploaded few videos of the building process. This is all I could find.

Great! I am impressed at this MOC simplicity, yet its great appearance and beautiful idea!

It does not have any non-LEGO parts...this model is 100% LEGO! Actuators are built from LEGO pieces...I am uploading the video of them right now!

This is one of the best Mech I have ever seen! It looks very good packed with all that black mechanics inside it. Very good!

Excellent! Very close to the original. I like the entrance and the darkness inside, just like on the original picture.

Very nice and simple! If you had few of those big arch pieces to cover the wheels, it may look even better. But those arch in black are very rare and expensive. Nice work!

There is a similar video...and it looks like the real thing! I would like to see the video of this, too!

Welcome, Legolas73! I really like your creation. It looks very nice, both inside and outside. I especially like the section where you receive your meals...very detailed!

Gone with the wind Casablanca Blade Runner And a lots of famous movies made in my country, which I really don't care about.

Some people probably tried to be 10000th registered member on the site, even if they really don't want to participate much, that might gave the slight boost to the total member number.

WoooooooW! Most impressive!

Congratulations, man! It looks really nice! Drive safe!

Excellent tractor! I like the bucket! It may be a little bit shorter, but it maybe just my idea...overall great!

Excellent work, Ralph! I prefer more your non-military MOCs, but this one is very interesting, I like to see something like this, for a change. EB is definitely more for the minifig size vehicles and buildings. I know how much work you have put in this creation! Keep building like this, man! I like when someone has so much patience for details and overall shape of the model!

Thanks guys! Actually I have some phone camera videos of the cylinder, turntable and crawlers operating. But they are very low quality, but it can be seen how it works...I will upload them to the youtube after work! Conchas- Thanks, I will try to make some detailed photos of the cylinder. dluders- Thanks man, I really liked that "fish", but you are right... Legoman777- Thanks

Welcome, have fun!

And pretty good ships, too! Welcome!

Welcome, have a great time!

This my newest MOC, the JCB JS 360 Excavator. It is 1 to 13 scale model, carefully scaled down using official PDF from JCB website. That couses some difficulties during the building of the model, like 6 wide tracks (8275s are 5 studs wide), 5 studs wide arm and mechanical cylinder. But the final result is here...my second biggest and heaviest model to-date. It has almost 6 kilograms, 12 motors, and maybe 6 thousand pieces. It has 4 XLs, 4 Ms, 3 IR receivers, 3 Extension Wires and 2 rechargeable boxes There is very few studs visible on the model, it has lots of 1x2, 1x4 and 1x6 tiles as well as 1x3 curved sloped pieces. This is my first crawler excavator. I did build one wheeled one before, which worked fine, but it was much smaller, and therefore I could not use the ideas from it. I have been working on it for a past few months, mainly because of the lack of time. Lets start with the crawlers: It houses 2 XLs for driving each track independently (1 to 3 reduction) and 2 Ms (1 to 3 reduction) to rotate the superstructure. You can see some gears in the pictures in the crawlers, they were impossible to hide. Roller bearing is applied around the turntable, otherwise it is impossible to operate with the superstructure. Superstructure: is 28 studs wide and it contains motors for operating mechanical cylinders, extending wires, and 2 new rechargeable battery boxes. It has very strong base with 2 layers frame to ensure the pressure from the arm wont break it. Arm: I have included one worker minifig just to make easier to see the size of the arm. Hard part about it was making it extra strong and curved. Also it has to carry all the motors in itself. Carefully placing plates and slopes and tiles did the trick, you can see the proces of building the arm in the photo. I am proud how the arm is curved, and it had to be achieved working with bricks in the 45 degrees angle, regarding upper and lower part of the arm. You can see the small gap where those two sections are connected. Frame is what it gives it strength. Arm is 5 studs wide, and it was nightmare to build. Arm is fully functional, bucket works great, dipper also, but the two cylinders that move the entire arm are in severe pressure under the load, even they are powered by an XL, each, so operating the arm up and down is a little bit slow and very shaky... almost dangerous for the parts. Once when I tested the arm under load in the bucket, the whole arm ripped itself out of the superstructure, breaking U-Joints, one axle and few pins...destroying good part of the superstructure. Mechanic cylinders are very strong, but not so efficient due to the worm gear drive, but they are operated by the multimple motors, so it is not a problem. They are made to be very compact and very stiff, so they wont break apart once under pressure. Goal was to make a realistic compact cylinders, which will be operated by motors, hidden in the arm. I can control the motor at variable speed, so it is nice to watch it. Good thing about them is that I can make them at any length, I will use this cylinder for my next MOC, too Stickers were made by me, using PDF file. Various angles of the model: Interesting parts are opening side doors for batteries and tools, sloped back section done using slopes, and hatch for the fake engine: This MOC was present in a LEGO Festival in Budapest: Sorry for bad pictures and lack of the video, Ive broke up with my gf, so I lost camera, too.. Thanks for watching!

Dobrodosao! Have fun and enjoy the forum!
