Hi guys! It’s been a while since I last posted a MOC, but I haven’t had as much time to build as I would like to. So, without further ado, here it is: a wheeled asphalt paver. I didn’t model it after a specific machine but inspired myself in the Volvo and CAT pavers. Initially I wanted to build it in green after Vogele, but I don’t have that many green panels. Maybe sometime in the future… Like all my MOCs, it is fully manual. It has 4 functions: - manual 4-wheel steering controlled by the right sided trans-yellow brick; - tilting of the hopper controlled by the left sided trans-yellow brick; - lowering/raising the screed via 2 small LA operated by the ball joints on both sides; - extending/retracting the creed blades done by 2 large LA controlled by the black round 2L connector at the back. It also has a 4-cylinder fake engine connected to the rear wheels via an old-style differential and the feeder conveyor belt rotates in the opposite direction of the rear wheels, feeding the “tarmac” as the paver moves forward. I have built and rebuilt this MOC 2 times in the past months and I’m still not 100% happy with it. But improvements will have to wait at least until November. More pictures can be found at my bricksafe account. Here is the video showing it's functions. Sorry for the not so great quality Suggestions, tips and comments in general are always welcome! Thanks for reading!
