But I think that chassis should be shortened

I'll do that! It's the front which must be shortened right?

3 turntables: 2 big, 1 small @ThatOneBuilder

Forgot the small one, sorry.

Yes. By six-eight studs.

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

Update time!

@M_longer the vehicle is now 6 studs shorter. That is the biggest item worked on this update.

As well, my cab prototype succeeded, so pictures with it are included. Here is the progress:

Shortened front end (below):

Cab shot:

So now all I really have to do is the BB placement and the hood...

Unless you have an improvement for me! I would love to hear.

Have a great day (or rest of the day)!

Guess I'm not updating this for anyone 

The model is done. The hood was the last thing to be added along with some additional details. Sorry for picture quality, better ones will come when it is not raining.

Really looks fantastic! I can't believe how great your C (and D!) models are. And if 42054 wasn't already a top quality set, you've now given two more amazing options to build. I'm still planning to buy 42054 and will definitely make your crop sprayer and forest slider as soon as the A model is complete.

Thank you! Honestly, the 42054 is the second best set I ever got my hands on. Totally worth it

42043 is your best? Or the Unimog? Or 42009?

42043. I don't own 42009 or the unimog.

I am just impressed, by how fast you are creating new models

You are not updating for no one, I was going to comment, but had to go do something. I like it, thanks to you, I am making a helicopter, and then trying to make a saddletrac claas.

Saddletracs are so cool I plan on building one out of 42054 around Christmastime.

This speed will only last a further 2 weeks, then the real hustle begins...

Awesome C model (again) - especially that I like skidders a lot! Looks 42054 has one of the best potential for C-models.

I would only remove the small white panels, they just not matching in color scheme. Overall, I am very impressed, excellent work. 

EDIT: Does the pendular suspension work properly? Don't the wheels touching the engine hood (looks very close to me)?

The cab is too low, it look like chop top skidder :D

And remove those lights from front blade, in real life they would be torn apart on first use.

Thank you! This set has great potential to build anything with 4 big wheels ;) The suspension is limited by a liftarm on each side.

I will remove those lights. And the cabin follows my inspiration skidder, the Tigercat 610e, so I think I'll leave it like that :D

[MangaNOID]

I thought the cabin looked too big in the photos at the top of this page but with the finished green panels it looks great!

lots of c models to build and I haven't even built the A model yet.

what is a d model?

[ThatOneBuilder]

@BrickbyBrickTechnic Awesome, will be looking forward to it (:

A second alternate model. A model, B model, C model, D model, and so on. E models are a thing too :)

Amazing work (again)

 

Btw, if you plan to pdf your photos, bear in mind to include page numbers in the layout. I didn't for your Crop Sprayer and I think it was a miss
