Thanks, you give me importing arguments to stay on 1:17.5 - 1:18 scale and that's something 

(Even the smallest things can start greatest changes)

This topic doesn't have the attention it needs ! Great build ! The front axle looks great ! Maybe tweak the front for a smother design :)

On today's update you can see smoother front bull-bar design. CAb images will be uploaded asap (and cab is much smoother now) 

Due to lack of parts I had to wait for months to start developing smoother design for front part

Thanks Paul, I hope to upload cab images today, but I'll see how much time there will be

Update time;

as I already mentioned here is 90% finished tilting cab with open-able doors and bonnet, but need few stickers and need to finished right beacon light. I had to make changes to chassis as well so instead of frame 11 x 5 there are double bent liftarms and additional beams to make front chassis part more stiffer specially in area of lower suspension arms connection where it was not sturdy enough. Now let images speak for itself...

Can we have a head-on view of the cab? I think something is off, though I'm not sure what. Keep up the good work 

[1gor]

I'll try to take additional photo(s) later today or at folowing weekend. BTW angled of cab and ozher key positions fit perfectly printed "blueprint" that I have posted page earlier. Thanks for any kind of comment

@BrickbyBrickTechnic what is a bit out of place is front part of the roof (place where licence plate goes) which is 2 studs thick instead of just one stud, but then (because of raised front part) interrier part would look stupid...or to make some kind of Sun shield like this

I believe a sun shield is needed. The DBG panel inside doesn't look right. You should remove that and make the roof 1 stud thick with a sun shield IMO.

That two things crossed my mind. "Orange" structure fits "blueprint" very well, but as you noticed this two points are problem area. Thanks

For dbg panel I have an idea for replacement with two smaller panels that would be at both ends but have to order them in dbg color. I'm writting about this parts

There is also an issue with cab stifness when I replace 11 x 3 dbg panel...

Sun shield could be made with above mentioned panels in black and in the middle to put licence plate holder...

This is preliminary version of sunshield

but I think I'll have to change curved panel 11 x 3 in ordinary 11 x 3 and make it higher for about half a stud at the front

I agree. You should do that.

Hope to find some time to do it (this week)

here are two versions; one with sun shield and one without. I have managed to make a bit angled front part of the roof, and two blur pins indicate where licence plate will be (actually one white tile 1 x 4)

question is: which one do you prefer?

 

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

I believe the first version looks better.

Deal 

Now I have to wait for parts for cockpit in dark bluish gray 

BTW when I see your 42054 C models, then I wish you had 5 more of them

Parts have arrived and result is here...

 

 

I think cab looks better now but had to make cab 1 stud longer to fit the scale

 

if any of image can be properly seen, there is always this "gallery"

Looks pretty darn good, Igor!  And it's just my personal preference, but I would make those red pins on the front black.

I think about same thing, both ftont and rear. Thanks. Now I have to see how attachment will behave after I order arches for rear mudguards

So cute! Great work
