[MOC] Liebherr R 926 Compact Litronic

[efferman]

Today i have searched for inspiration and found this

quelle liebherr

Long Talk, short back, there is really small place available in the 19wide scale (1:16,7). So my excavator base has to be smaller again. This is what is done at this time.

hopefulliy it works

 If it goes smaller it might collapse and become a black hole.  Nice design.

Dang! I find it hard to believe that all fits in there! Excellent miniaturization, I can't wait to see your progress. But one question... Where will the battery box go?

[aminnich]

I always love following your builds, you are a very inspiring creator!  I have tried building excavators in the past and never succeed, I can never get them very compact to where it looks like an excavator.  

I am seeing 5 motors, but only 4 outputs, is the 5th motor for rotation? Also, will have have the motors for drive built into the tracks? 

I would guess the battery box will be on the bottom like more LEGO model that it.  

 

[efferman]

Six, and the rotation motor is still left. not sure where the battbox will be placed

[aminnich]

Will you be posting the finished LDD? I would be curious to go through it and see what kinds of compact building techniques you do. 

[efferman]

not sure about the full lxf, but the gearbox will be available.

The Picture below shows to 99% the placement and gearbox, but not fully secured by liftarms

hi effe,

i had a close look at your LDD file.

The way you manage to pass through the turntable is just brillant!

waiting for next step :)

[DugaldIC]

There's soo many motors in such a small area, I can't wait to see the rest  

[efferman]

it seems to fit with the shell

Nice build :) ! I am building an excavatornow as well.

[efferman]

Dont forget to post it.

Mine has now the "ventilation mesh" for the engine Bay.

Now the probably hardest thing: a double curved shape

That looks awesome dude!!!! To fit that much stuff in such a small space and make it look that good.

[efferman]

Thanks. With the use of two Sbricks it would be easier. With standard receivers i had a loss of one channel because the parts on the corner needs to much space

[Dafgek81]

Yes, that would be easier, you could use that in real-time, but LDD does not know that part because it ain't official Lego.

[AFOLegofan66]

so far so good!!

[VKTechnic]

Been following this build on Flickr for a while, it's amazing how much you're squeezing into a tight space. Can't wait to see it start to take shape with real bricks!

[efferman]

Thanks!

[efferman]

i hope the cab will not be to fragile

[Jeroen Ottens]

It really is starting to take shape

That is a lot of SNOT in that cabine, but it does look a little fragile indeed. Especially the black parts will move the moment you touch them I'm afraid.

[efferman]

yeah, that would collapse many times, but some improvements are done now

[Edwin Korstanje]

With the extra bar its give you more strength and still looks superb. 

[Alasdair Ryan]

How about using a bar piece to divide between the top and bottom window?

Looks fab so far.

[efferman]

a bar piece instead of the antenna?

 

Edit²

the uppercarriage seems to be done
