Magnificent!

Thanks. Your version looks magnificent too with all that technical solutions and the overall appearance much more resembles the original 41999. Thanks!

41999 4x4 Crawler shrunken to 70% - 4x4 drive train - front and real live axles - 4 wheel steering operated with HoG, rear wheels are steered in 1:2 ratio - secured manual winch operated with HoG - mini V8 fake engine - openable hood and trunk Picture of original set: Pictures of my model: Video:

Finished just on time

The nose looks fine to me. It is very similar to the original. Lowered height of the body corrects the proportions especialy behind the cabin. Overall look is great!

Thank you, You are right, the steering angle on the original set is the same but it feels a bitvstrange to me so I made it in another way

hello, I guess I am done with the body now. I am experimenting with the forward tilt. Rear axle is one stud higher than the front, maybe I will make both axles even. Rear wheels steer roughly in 1:2 ratio the front ones. The slot behind the HoG gear is for operating the winch Now I am ordering correct tyres and dark blue parts

I made some progress. - added stabilizers on both axles - winch and engine fitted into chassis, winch is operated by axle through engine, winch together with steering will be operated by HoG on the roof - concept of the front mask

Glad to read your words. Well, I have not much plans yet... maybe I will try brick built front but not sure with the rest of the body (openable doors, trunk etc.) This week I want to "finish" the chassis with winch and engine and next week start to experiment with the body

Hello, after reading the latest contest announcement I instantly knew I must take a part. After some thinking I chose this iconic set. While I had limited time to build gyenesvi chose the same set to shrink... So I hope everybody will be OK if we have the same inspiration... Here is my progress on concept of the chassis so far: - 4x4 drive with 2 live axles - 4 wheel steering with lower ratio on the rear axle - manual winch and micro fake V8 to be added soon - the final model will have 68,7 x 34 balloon tires Body will be 13 studs wide, 15 with mudguards. The shrink ratio to the original is roughly about 0,7.

love your version so much, all proportions are spot on! anyway I had the same idea as you to shrink this set so I hope you will be OK with that.

Finally I found some spare time to finish next implement to my tractor. This time it is a hay tedder inspired after the real equipment. It is connected to reat PTO which can be operated from the driver's cockpit I made free instructions which are available on rebrickable.com

Cool little tractor!

Hello, I am thinking of putting plate 1x3 on a tread and then using 3 round plates 1x1 with holes on top. Into holes I will put the lightsabre bars

Hi, thank you for the compliments! I can only recommend you to build one - farm vehicles are lots of fun to build and play

Hello, I want to built a Hay Tedder as a implement for my tractor, something like this... long chain with several chain thread pieces with bars inserted into holes. But if you are saying that the connection is not tight enough I have to look for another solution

Thank you guys. So if I got it right it is possible to fit the bar in the side holes of the chainlink in the same way like for example in the jumper plate with the open stud...

Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to fit 4L bar (no. 30374) into holes in technic chainlink (no. 3873) ? Thanks

Thank you, at first I wanted to use some technic wheel but later I discovered this one which is absolutely accurate It is hard to recreate complex surfaces in lego... I have built several versions of it but still not completely happy with the result

Hey, in the meantime I created simple Plough and a Cultivator. Free instructions are available on Rebrickable. Enjoy! Some more implements are on my to-do list for the next few weeks...

wow that some interesting fact I didn't knew. video is up.

Thank you. Yes, ABS plastic has the good feature that it does not smell at all :D But I am afraid that the real thing does not smell good as it has diesel engine Well I did not consider theese fenders as I do not own it. Maybe I should give it a try. Thank you very much! The real thing has the same steering mechanism as your tractor. It is easy to reproduce it in lego but the play in the steering wheel is nearly 180 degrees. I have built the mechanism you can see on the photo. There is steering wheel on the end of the 7L axle and the opposite axle rotate the arm. The gear is 12:28 which behave like classic rack and pinion solution. There is no play at the steering wheel at all. Picture below shows the connection of the lever and gearbox

Hello all, I would like to present here my latest creation - the historic Czechoslovak tractor Zetor 25K. Series K is derived from original model 25 which was manufactured in many modifications in years 1946 to 1961. Features: 2 cylinder fake engine drag link steering towing joint three-point-hitch operated from the cockpit rear PTO connected with gearbox to drive train, switchable by lever from the cockpit I also want to build some attachments to make model more playable.

Thanks, I was quite surprised how well the mechanism works. Thank you! I'm afraid that usage of 3/3/3 tiles are impossible, 2x1 tiles are the only solution because they have no studs on bottom side.

Hello, I'm back in business after some years of dark age and I want to present you my new MOC, which is actualy a facelifted version of my older rat rod presented here years earlier. The model is build from scratch using current pieces and building techniques, sharing the main concept with its predecessor. Model features drag link steering operated steering wheel in cockpit, openable doors, detailed fake engine and fuel tank. I hope you will like it!
