Witch bucket would fit the backhoe I am building best, it's the one from Jurgen Krooshoop. Looking for both a good frontloader and backhoe loader bucket for this machine. The one you made for the front looks like a good size.

Okay thanks, might take a while before I can order it. I have a tight budget for Lego. Have to order 289 parts all together for the backhoe, a rechargeable battery box and adapter included, so costly. But I hope to order it this year.

It's still a great model!!!!

I'm interested in the wheelloader bucket, can't find it on Shapeways unfortunately, will it get on there in the future?

Well most loaders I have seen in my life had no teeth on their buckets, most of them are used to move sand and loose gravel, so no use for teeth.

These small functionless models are not my thing, I like big models with a lot of functionality, but the combination model looks nice.

Sorry, can't say I like it.

WOW ? that's one rugged supercar

Okay nice, on Shapeways?? But I actually would need one without teeth, that would be more realistic. https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/452119250063935716/

Yeah, how did you do those windows??

It is a great truck, I couldn't build this from scratch, but it does look a whole lot like Ingmars trucks. And I agree also, he is a great inspiration source.

Well, I wont support commercial knockoff parts. But 3D printed parts, from non commercial enthusiasts like Efferman, ment for small scale use, I don't see a big problem. I bought his clamshell buckets from Shapeways because I wanted to finish my Actros with a good looking buckets. The clamshell buckets from the Arocs are way to small. TLG won't make bigger ones just for a few big trucks made out off Lego in this world. I also had custom stickers made, TLG doesn't make stickers in that big scale 1:13,

Looks alright to me, I still haven't seen any other cranes from the preliminary pics (with instructions), so this I the first I've seen. I hope someone will build a crane like the prelim one and make instructions so I can build it two.

Don't get your hopes up yet, to much anticipation can bring a lot of disappointment. I also hope TLG will come with something good this year, but my money is already in the fridge waiting on 2018.

Nicely done

This is a very nice little car you've made there.

That is a lot off speculation, but I can only hope you are right and TLG has a few good models up their sleeves, if not, this anniversary year will be a lame one.

you're welcome

I believe you Efferman, will wait and see what comes out of that brilliant mind off yours.

I will not buy knock off parts from the copycat companies ever!!!! I will buy 3D printed parts, just because TLG womn't make some parts or uses not fitting parts in some set, buckets that are out off place on excavators for instance...

Have to go with Efferman on this one

I get the same feeling here.....

I got this set a week ago for my birthday, what a great set, hope to make it RC in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, was just asking, saw a half finshed one in a earlier post. will patienly wait for it, just love your work!!!

Hello Efferman, I may have asked before, but could you design a bucket for (front)loaders, that is wider and maybe a bit higher than the excisting one from the 8265 wheelloader, I am curently collecting parts for Jurgens Backhoe, but the bucket at the picture is to small, the new bucket from the Volvo loader is not the right kind, that is a hard rock bucket. Most backhoes here in Europe don't have teeth on the bucket, at least not on closed buckets like this. And a fitting bucket for the excavator arm, something like the one on the old 8862 backhoe, but better and more realistic appearence and fitting size for both backhoes shown in pictures.
