Thirdwigg Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Now that I have something that I think will work, it's time for me to update you all with the progress of my TC9 entry. The A model is mostly done (see pictures below), and the B model is in an early WIP stage (Pictures soon). A Model HxWxL, 17x17x34=9826 Steering, HOG 2 Cylinder Fake Motor Rear Wheel Drive, Portal Axle Snowblower Rotation Snowblower Lift Salt Discharge/Moving Door Salt Spreader Removable Blower, Cab, and Spreader B Model HxWxL, 14x19x37=9842 Steering, HOG 2 Cylinder Fake Motor Rear Wheel Drive, Portal Axle PTO, Front/Rear Plow Lift Seeder Lift Seeder Spreader Almost final, as I am waiting on another BL order. Your critiques are welcome. Quote
Pluto_MkII Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Nice idea. I like the details from the snow blower and the salt spreader. And you didn't forget the conveyor belt, amazing! What kind of tractor will your B model be? Something like a MB-Trac? Quote
lcvisser Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Very nice! You captured the looks of those machines very nicely in this scale. Are the conveyer belt, salt spreader and snowblower rotation driven by driving? Can they be disengaged? Quote
Thirdwigg Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 @Pluto_MkII, the initial draft is a tractor like this with this on the rear. @ Ludo Visser, thanks. The belt, spreader, and blower are driven by the rear wheels. They are only disengaged when they are removed. Quote
That_LEGO_Guy Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Reminds me of a certain City set, looks very well done nonetheless. Quote
Thirdwigg Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Reminds me of a certain City set, looks very well done nonetheless. That set was the inspiration. Which was inspired by the Unimog... probably. Quote
Pluto_MkII Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 @Pluto_MkII, the initial draft is a tractor like this with this on the rear. Can't wait to see how you build this beauty out of the parts from your a model. Keep the good work up! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 This is an excellent build...really amazing...!!! :thumbup: Quote
MacKaiwer Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 That A model looks awesome Very nice functions and details, especially blower and spreader, in this such small scale Liking it very much because here in Finland the real winter is starting, and we also have those machines in heavy use Here they are usually all orange like this: but I think that green and orange color theme is much cooler Now waiting your B model, you are now one of my favorites, keep up the good work!

Sylvian Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 The A model looks awesome,. Love the little details like the wheels on the front of the plow.. the conveyerbelt is very cool,. And the finish of the model using non technic lego,. Very very nice! Proportions are also very nice,. And i love the colorscheme with the black wheels. Quote
Pat-Ard Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I like green and orange :) Only snow is missing ;) Quote
A Gallifreyan Cat Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 We've got plenty of that where I am! Quote
Thirdwigg Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 The B model is about done. It's not perfect: building a B model with limited parts, has been a great challenge. I'll do one more edit to it, and then I'll work on the publishing materials later this weekend. Quote
lcvisser Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 That looks pretty good, although the ground-clearance at the front seems a bit small for a tractor. Or is it a blade for moving ground, like in the pictures you posted before? I can't see if it can be raised or not. Is the "box" supposed to be open? I guess you don't have parts left to close it in any case Quote

I guess you don't have parts left to close it in any case Yeah, the front is a plow, and can be moved. I have been working to close the box. I'm not sure it's going to happen with the parts left.

Thirdwigg Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Everything is done, so I'll post when the topic is open. Until then, enjoy the .[media] [/media] Edited January 25, 2016 by Thirdwigg Quote
BusterHaus Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I really like all the features you have on both models. The pieces you picked don't overpower the scale of the models, which is very nice. By the way, if you remove the s from https:// the video will show up in your post. Quote

I edited the video in the post as you stated, and it still seems to be the same. Any thoughts? Quote
Appie Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Looks awesome and nice functions. Let me see if I can fix your video issue (then just quote my post and copy-paste the code) Quote
