  1. Honestly only Mini inspired me in real life of all small cars, but to take a Isetta as a challenge and make model of it - that is very brave - but beware of this
  2. Very nice bodywork. I was only hoping to see engine with typical LEGO parts as in official sets. Perhaps this would be a next step but all in all it has this WOW effect. Excellent job
  3. Wow, this is just amazing Wait to see it from below or some sketch of lifting mechanism.
  4. ...some updates; finished gearbox for front and rear pto and additional shaft for future implements like tilting bed or any platform that should be driven could be made (perhaps some future project)...yes there is one more thing - chimney was added...
  5. Perhaps you can use this part on front wheels
  6. Honestly whenever I've tried to use 3rd party parts they got broken, or they were not of acceptable quality, so only manipulation that was made by me (so far) was not to use complete turntable (did not assemble it 4 times), just side with gear because I needed big gear for this model. And of course few times I've "stuffed" LEGO tires to make them thinner and bigger in diameter like here... (I use link because images are way to bit to post them here directly...)
  7. Tumbler tires are even more cool (on this model) than with 8880 Tires
  8. Gearbox is finished. It has two main functions: driving front and rear pto driving additional system like tilting platform in my case or can be pneumatic compressor for crane or similar attachments To achieve simple gearbox (using smallest number of gears), I had to put front pto shaft lower what can be seen on first two images here. In addition to this I had to make less suspension travel for about millimeter to prevent suspension hitting front pto shaft. Solution is copied from 8110 set - so nothing fancy here. Here is current state of project Unimog U423 enjoy...
  9. Now we wait for final images
  10. you need company specialized in digital print and take your panel (e.g. 5 x 11 panel in light green) with you to them to make sticker that visually integrates with part on which will it go
  11. usually companies that deal with digital printing have a lots of different foils so you gave to go to them and take LEGO panel with you on which you want to put sticker to match color
  12. when you're talking about stickers - you have to find out which foil suites LEGO plastic best. I've tried to make Bluetec 6 and round Mercedes star with orange ring sticker, but turned out that it was difficult to match color. This can be very tricky so be patient and consider that color on display is not like real thing...
  13. I know. Question is only up to which level of openness will you go not to make yourself to complicated. From my pint of view just cover rear wheels and partly front part of car...
  14. then it is as closest to LEGO original philosophy when designing bigger Technic sets
  15. I see - to make smooth line and to show some of the mechanic below bodywork
  16. something like this? (uf 400th post - I have to blew a candle )
  17. then it could look like this (just an old example). I'm a bit different person - want to make as covered as possible with some characteristic functions of model. Important is to stand behind your decision
  18. I told you in the past that I'll keep an eye on this project and must say great effort for this project. Usually big projects give big responsibilities and you shown that you are responsible with such level of perfection
  19. I agree red is used to often - my intension with images was dealing with shape. The same problem I have very often - example for Unimog I've spent 2-2.5 years searching proper orange parts (and 3 years for wheels in which I can implement small portal hubs). Purple color from 42069 set would be very interesting IMHO anyway...or some lime green What I don't like (in general) are holes in bodywork but always want to built technic model (generally they're lighter) and not model team model...despite some creations on Scale modeling subforum are great.
  20. Doug this thing ended huge!!! And now you can say Gentleman start your engines
