Review and instructions:

 

Hi! I’m glad to show my new MOC – it’s Merlo Roto Telehandler in 1:11 scale.

Here you can see the real machine:

The dimensions: 80 x 25 x 30 cm, total weight – 5,7 kg. The max height is 83 cm. The model contains approximately 5100 parts.

The model has eight remote controlled functions (three S-bricks, 14 motors).

1. Four L-motors for AWD with diffs.

2. Two servo-motors with independent control for steering. We can steer normal, with reduced radius or crab.

3. Outriggers deploying – two M-motors.

4. Superstructure rotation – one XL-motor.

5. Boom raising – two M-motors. The boom is rather heavy it can’t lift significant additional weights.

6. Boom extension – one M-motor.

7. The rigs operation – one M-motor. I’ve created classic fork and crane.

8. Cab lift for visibility improvement.

In addition to motorized functions the model has suspension with solid axles (eight hard shock absorbers), detailed cab and other cool features.

Let’s watch the video:

Wow, this is amazing. I'm at a loss for words with how well built this is! And in orange as well!!!

awesome MOC can't wait to build this!! Does this mean you will not be doing the John Deere Skidder 648L plans? just curious

forgot something!

Incredible telehandler! Awesome functionality, and the sheer size just adds to it!  Great use of the all the Porsche orange parts, I cannot wait to get the instructions!

EDIT: +1 HoF!

It is really massive with tons of orange parts 

Well, this is amazing... and orange. A true masterpiece of LEGO engineering, especially at that scale.

My only niggle is it looks a bit too orange for me, although I do appreciate the real things tend to be uniformly one colour. I don't think a liiittle more black or LBG around the cab would have hurt, though. Apart from that, very well done.

Thanks for comments! I'm glad you like it :)

2 AFOLegofan66: I still plan to finish instructions for Skidder but I absolutely have no time now.

A few renders:

 

What an awesome model! And Blakbird's renders are top-notch. Thanks to both of you for sharing.

Massive model with cool functions, congrats! And the renders are also fantastic :)

Thanks for awesome renders!

Very nice telehandler! I have never seen this kind before.

Very beautiful & functional!

Wow... this build it truly amazing. You’ve also done a great job with the video, congrats! Love it 

Thanks a lot! The video was a big problem - I should buy stabilizer.

Hi! Here is detailed review. And now instructions are complete :)

 

Hey! First English video, congrats! Very nice, clear and clever!
I'll let you know about the instructions. 
Firstly can I (we) ask for digital partlist to compare it with rebrickable collection?

Half expected this to be lime green, but I guess a Merlo also looks superb in orange! Wonderful work, wish I had one!

Thank you! What format should digital partlist have? Where can I find a tutorial how to generate it?

Yes! I'll do it in the near future, maybe after New Year :)

@desert752 I just bought your plans in pdf form from your site but I am having difficulty getting the file. I thought they would send me a link for the file. Any help from you would be appreciated! Looking forward to build this.
