February 25, 201510 yr Author But are you still planning on making them? Would hate the fact to not be able to build it. Yes, but I can't say when. I have a lot things to do lately and playing with bricks is not one of them :(
February 25, 201510 yr Thats fine with me, sorry to bother you with my impatience, but I was affaid you wheren't going to make any at all.
November 4, 20159 yr Author I'd like to inform everyone who asked me about it, that instructions for this loader are finally available at MOCPlans.com :) http://mocplans.com/...end-loader.html Those great renders were made by Blakbird. Thank you very much! :) Parts list can be found at Rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/M_longer/volvo-l250g-wheel-loader Example pages: Higher resolution pics can be found at my Bricksafe gallery: http://bricksafe.com...ger/volvo-l250g I have also started a blog, to have everything related to my MOCs in one place: http://m-longer.blogspot.com/ Edited November 4, 20159 yr by M_longer
November 4, 20159 yr Thanks in advance M_longer! I'm looking forward to purchase these instructions but somehow I can't login at Mocplans at the moment.
November 4, 20159 yr Thank You, hope to buy them in the future. Still struggling to get the money for parts from my Actros.
November 5, 20159 yr Hello Marek, Checked out the partslists on both Rebrickable and Bricksafe. Saw that the have different parts, which one is correct?
November 5, 20159 yr Author Hello Marek, Checked out the partslists on both Rebrickable and Bricksafe. Saw that the have different parts, which one is correct? Let me guess, black and yellow hoses? Bricksafe shows exactly what has been used in the model (hoses in needed length, it is just screenshot from the parts inventory generated in LPub), and Rebrickable shows parts that are available on the market (for example yellow 6L hose does not exist in any set, 1L and 2L in black either) and they had to be cut.

November 5, 20159 yr Author Motors and a remote control. At least that is what I was missing. OK, you have found an error on the parts list. (but motors were present). IR Receiver was missing and few other parts like 1x1 black tile and 2x2 round brick (no idea why, it happened for the first time, and parts list on Rebrickable is made strictly from the same file as instructions). Probably Rebrickable ignored these parts on importing the ldr file. I am very sorry for those errors, It happened for the first time, last time when I was using Rebrickable import option all elements were imported properly. I assume that parts that had different molds were ignored, and it seems that other missing pieces were using different numbers in the file. I have checked it piece by piece and now this inventory is 100% accurate: http://rebrickable.c...0g-wheel-loader Remote control is not present in the instructions, so it is not on the picture. But is needed to use this model, so I have added it to the Rebrickable parts list. Thank you for noticing that, I will remember to double check the Rebrickable parts list with raw .ldr file in the future.
November 7, 20159 yr Your welcome, glad I could help. Love the loader, Will try to build it in the furure.
November 7, 20159 yr This is such an amazing build and great you have instructions for it available :thumbup: Not sure yet, but maybe I'll build it someday... Would be my first build not by myself...
November 7, 20159 yr In the pictures the Volvo uses the yellow 62.4x20 wheel rims, while in the renders and instruction it doesn't. Any reason for this? Thanks anyway, yet again high quality instructions of a high quality creation.
November 7, 20159 yr Author Any reason for this? Costs and parts availability. Yellow 62.4 wheels are rare these days. There are only 11 shops on BL that have at least four. It is much easier to buy wheels from 42030. I'm glad that you like those instructions :)
November 7, 20159 yr Don't want to be picky, but...... The L-motors are missing in the partslist on Rebrickable.
November 7, 20159 yr Yellow 62.4 wheels are rare these days. There are only 11 shops on BL that have at least four. Whoops, that's bad news. I need even more for my own project, I might cancel that for now.
November 7, 20159 yr Author Don't want to be picky, but...... The L-motors are missing in the partslist on Rebrickable. They are present, but have veeery small picture with straight cable. They are next to 1x2 LBG plate(s). Whoops, that's bad news. I need even more for my own project, I might cancel that for now. I had hope that new Mining Loader set (that uses 62.4 wheels) will have them in yellow, but it seems (from preliminary pictures) that it will be using standard Light Bluish Grey wheels :(
November 11, 20159 yr How much off the parts for this loader can I get out off 42030? And if I would find a second hand 42009. Would that help or not?
November 11, 20159 yr How much off the parts for this loader can I get out off 42030? And if I would find a second hand 42009. Would that help or not? 33%, see http://www.rebrickable.com/compare/MOC-3799/42030-1
April 22, 20195 yr Author Golden Shovel reward incoming! It may be usefull, because I had an oportunity to take some pictures of my Volvo in a gravel pit :) Â
