Hey @Hogwartus

Welcome to EB!

You have made very nice introduction with this model! Well done! I like the front grille the most.

I would point few things that maybe could be improved, like mounting bigger wheels, lower hood, and doors seem a bit too high.

Other than that, great!

I'll move this model to main Technic forum, as in the Scale Modeling forum one of the requirements is that model has to be brick built.

Enjoy the forums!

Welcome to Eurobricks !

When I first saw this I thought meh but when I look closer I can see all the work that went into it :) So by the looks of it , we can expect some gr8 MOCs from you 

IA creations

@Hogwartus wellcome to Eurobricks. As Mercedes fan I can only say - G class is something very special (only Unimog is better offroader). About your model I agree completely with @Milan, but have one additional suggestion - Mercedes uses V6 engines and not flat 6 cylinder engines 

Interesting idea for (your first?) MOC. Not bad for start, however few things could be improved. It seems that wheels are too small for this scale.

Also there's something wrong with proportions of the windows and hood.

Welcome to EuroBricks! It is a great MOC for introduction, overall, it is excellent!

A couple things that could be improved: clean up the front and lower the hood, it appears a little messy. Also, definitely add larger wheels, the 62mm wheels are way too small.

Thank you all for interest.

Yes, right, maybe these wheels weren't the best choice.

@Milan  @M_longer @Leonardo da Bricki I've tried to make the hood as low as possible, but the floating axle with portal axles is very large and high and there is also an engine over it. That took all the space so I couldn't make the hood any lower.

@I_Igor I know there should be V6 not flat 6, but sadly v6 would be 1-2 stud higher, there was no space for it :(

@M_longer Not a first MOC, but the first MOC published here and the first serious one. There are some more MOCs on my YT channel.

I understand 

Awesome MOC! Maybe the wheels could be these:

 

Also, does this use mostly or only parts from set 42043. If so, that would be a really cool C-model.

Is there any chance for instructions? I would love to build this.

@Offroadcreat1ons No, these wheels are too large.

Around 80-90% parts came from Arocs set, it's much, but it is not a c-model.

Maybe I'll try to make the instructions when I'll have more time, but it would be a challange for me (my longest instruction is for 400 piece model, ithis one is 5 times larger). So chances for instructions are little :(
