Teo LEGO Technic Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hello everybody, My first MOC to be posted on Eurobricks is the CAT D9 bulldozer. My goal with this MOC was to make it look as good as I could while still working as well as I should like. It has these functions, all controlled by power functions: -blade powered by 1 x M-motor -ripper powered by 1 x M-motor -treads powered by 2 x L-motor, 1 on each side for skid-stearing -two pairs of LED lights with hidden switch Pictures of the model: Here is the link for a video that demonstrates all functions. If someone could tell me how to embed it, I would be very grateful, as I could not figure it out Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 That's an amazing start, also amazingly realistic. That's a great moc, worth the recognition! Quote

Omikron Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks, it means a lot! By the way, do you know how to embed the youtube video? use square brackets (media)HTTP link(/media) note that https link will embed like a a link. Edited January 23, 2015 by Omikron Quote
Teo LEGO Technic Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 (media) ) use square brackets (media)HTTP link(/media) note that https link will embed like a a link. But how do you embed like a video? Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 yh I need to learn how to embed a video to, and also how do I post pictures? because eurobricks say that "I have exceeded my alloted disk space for uploading/attaching photos" which means I can't upload any pictures, I tried copy and pasting from my google+ page but that didn't work, it just shows the the code for the picture.

Milan Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Here you go! :) Great model, looks really nice! I like the use of the curved panels, it gives the model great rounded shape. I would just replace 2x2 yellow round bricks on top of the linear actuators with same parts, just in DBG color. I think it would match better. Quote
efferman Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Works good, but i think it looks more than a komatsu and not like a d9 Quote

In flickr you can just paste the BBCode they give you, and select the resolution too. Quote
aminnich Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I really like this set, especially as a first!! very good. I agree with Efferman, it does look more like a komatsu, but it still looks great. Quote

Thanks for the video embed, and yes the yellow parts could have been done better, but I hand;t the necessary parts I really like this set, especially as a first!! very good. I agree with Efferman, it does look more like a komatsu, but it still looks great. Works good, but i think it looks more than a komatsu and not like a d9 I built it more like a generic dozer, and only towards the end decided to call it a CAT.

LeocornoProductions Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I don't have a flickr account and I have no intentions in making one. Eurobricks won't allow me to upload basic photos from google+ and I have ran out of attached image space. Quote
grum64 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Looks really good. Whether it's a Komatsu or CAT I can't say, I'll leave that to those more knowledgeable. I'll just agree with what else everyone has said. For a first MOC it's brilliant. Just brilliant. Very well done. Quote

Eurobricks won't allow me to upload basic photos from google+ and I have ran out of attached image space. No idea for google+, I'm afraid. Still, a flickr account is free, so it's worth a try.

gevans12 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I agree it's very good...any chance of some instructions? Quote
Teo LEGO Technic Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 I agree it's very good...any chance of some instructions? I've already taken it apart. I could post process photos if it helps? Quote
Omikron Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (media) ) But how do you embed like a video? remove s from https Quote
Teo LEGO Technic Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 process photos, as promised: IMG_0146 by teo_technic, on Flickr IMG_0144 by teo_technic, on Flickr Quote
Jim Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Wow, that's a very nice compact D9. The looks are outstanding. I love the fact you used the panels with stickers from other models. I recommend getting a Flickr or Bricksafe account. Both are free and easy to use. You can embed a video by typing [nedia]urltoyoutu.be[/nedia] (with an M instead of N) Indeed be aware that you don't use the https address but the http. Your latest progress picture are too big for the forum. The max size is 800 or 1024, but 800 wide is commonly used as max. Quote

M_longer Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Tell me one thing: What is the point of using linear actuators as a fake cylinders? You are using same mechanism like in 8275, so I don't see sense in using those parts. Quote
