How did I missed this topic? Why loader's bucket is so small? :)

Much better https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-193635/Lukas2020/42172-mclaren-p1-front-section-mod/#details

Yes, show all these copied details!

I can't decide what's the bigger joke in 42175; That electric battery container, or that it took the budget for making the excavator work properly.

From a programmer's perspective - what's the point of making such changes in a toy?

42177 Unimog 437 Snow Plow An alternate model for 42177 Mercedes G Wagon. Along with @eric trax we made a bit of rush to make two alt models right after release of 42177. Features: HoG steering Full suspension with portal axles Rear differential lock HI/LO gears with indicator inside the cab Working inline 4 fake engine, powered from 4x4 drive with central differential Front blade elevation Openable doors with locks Tipper bed elevation Openable bed tailgate Openable bonnet above detailed engine bay Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-192353/M_longer/42177-unimog-437-snow-plow/#details Video (proper horizontal video will be made soon) Steering and drivetrain: Portal axles Rear diff lock: Doors with locks: Interior and working steering wheel: Liftable bed: Openable tailgate: Gear indicator: Engine bay: Front blade elevation: More pictures: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/42177-alt/unimog-u5000

Some strange friction can be felt.

Unimog 437 Snow Plow is finished :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-192353/M_longer/42177-unimog-437-snow-plow/#details

It needs complete remodeling of whole front, to look less like an abandoned child of Corvette and Lotus.

And what about that McDonald's visit lately??

Uhm, I have stopped making instructions for Eric's models like three years ago?

Because 3 were needed.

Who knows...

Looks unfinished, and those tracks will not behave properly.

Like these?

I have finished design proces of alt build for this set, preparing it for disasembly and making a 3D model :) https://www.instagram.com/p/C-TQRCjOnc2/?img_index=1

167?

It's here, connector number 7!

Yes, mould injection points. And it hurts my eyes too.

Yes, working on bags 8-9 now. It seems that all fun moments are over, bag 7 was just a rear seat, bag 8 is single door.

I just opened my copy, there's P1 suspension arm :D Click to enlarge:

"A rudimentary implant" as would say Adam Smasher from Cyberpunk. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-186848/M_longer/60409-steering-mod/#details This is the first modification, which comes to mind after playing with 60409. As much as I love that set, picking up whole model to change its direction while driving was a flaw for me. So here's my modification; with additional 320 pieces carrier receives steering on 6 axles. The width of the carrier increased slightly - from 8 to 9 studs, but it looks like it should be done that way, with bodywork already being 9s wide: Keeping overal dimensions of the carrier intact (to have unmodified superstructure and boom sitting on it) was a challenge, especially with having 4 steered axles in a row. But I managed to make it, even with different steering angles! It's easy to spot which axles are not steered, they don't have visible Tan pins: Steering is controlled by t12 gear on the back: Look how it moves!

I decided to test rigidity of 60409 tuntable;
