Posted November 15, 20159 yr Well I have not built a model for a while. This is the fist one all year. I have had plans to do a c model to the 42038 snow vehicle since it came out but since there have been at least a couple of other c models made to this set, One very good one by Buster Haus, I put my plans on hold a while. The model has the following features. Doors open close. Front blade raise and lower via twin in cab lever. spring loaded to hold in up or down position. Front blade adjustable to 5 positions left to right...with locking pin. Front blade tilt via linear actuator running off PTO. Central gearbox behind cab to switch between front and rear PTO. Rear groomer raise and lower via twin lever next to rear tray . spring loaded to hold in up or down position. Rear groomer tilt via linear actuator running off PTO. can adjust between rake only, rake and scrape, and scrape only. Small crane behind cab can turn lift and winch. Enjoy :) See all the pics at my bricksafe http://bricksafe.com...38-snow-groomer Cheers Henry
November 15, 20159 yr Hi Henry Very nice c model. Looks like a official lego model , how many parts are left from building this? And can you post a pic from the underside please. Sieg
November 15, 20159 yr Great model! The proportions are excellent and nothing looks out of place. I was looking at the two exhausts over the cabin and thought they would be linked to the linear actuators. An idea I may use for a future project.
November 15, 20159 yr Love this one so much, for me it is even better then the A and B model!!! :thumbup:
November 15, 20159 yr Author I was looking at the two exhausts over the cabin and thought they would be linked to the linear actuators. An idea I may use for a future project. Hi, The bevel gear behind the cabin is for turning the crane. The other bevel gear inside the rear tray is for the front and rear PTO i.e. the linear actuators. you can switch between front and back via the gearbox. the switch for the gearbox is here. not so easy to see a bit out of focus..

November 15, 20159 yr Nice! Well proportioned and not many pieces left... What more can you ask for in a C-model?
November 15, 20159 yr excellent design and use of parts, i like that there isint much left over atfter the build....as someone said, could easily pass for an official B model.
November 15, 20159 yr This is the best alternative model built out of set 42038 I've ever seen. It's definitelly better than A model. Good job!
November 17, 20159 yr Very good, it would actually be nice to have the building instructions on. :thumbup:
November 17, 20159 yr very interesting design, nice playable, not so many parts left... excellent :thumbup:
October 5, 20168 yr Has anyone been able to reverse-engineer this MOC from looking at the pictures, or has anyone tried in the first place? I've tried, but as I don't have very much experience with freebuilding with Technic, all I was able to get was the superficial stuff.
October 5, 20168 yr Very nice! Definitely at least B model tier, if not A. Any hope for instructions?
