Posted March 17, 2024Mar 17 When I saw the Kamaz 8x8 Arctic truck for the first time, I thought is could be a perfect subject for a Lego Technic moc. The truck is an 8x8 articulated hauler, with a tipping bed and a small crane. My model uses 56mm tractor tyres, so it is more or less in minifigure scale. Functions: - 8x8 with fake engine - articulated steering with HoG - rear pendular suspensions - tipping bed - operating crane It is not super detailed as it should be, but for the scale I think it is enough.

March 17, 2024Mar 17 Kamaz, together with Ural, has just the right amount of that ruggedness that a Russian truck needs to have. This Kamaz Artic is just one more example of that. When it came out, I was in love with the 6x6 version (it has thinner, but equally tall tires) with an RV module behind the cabine. Frontpaged.

Thanks! I hope somebody, one day, will be able to build a bigger version, with full suspensions and maybe some motorozed functions, I know there are many talented mocers out there
March 18, 2024Mar 18 Brilliant model with lovely blue color scheme :-) Somehow, this model seems way bigger. I first thought it would be with the 81 mm tires. Sadly, this ladder piece isn't available in orange :-/

March 18, 2024Mar 18 Great Build! Wonderful choice at this scale and executed great. I love that front end, looks so beefy and rugged.
March 18, 2024Mar 18 Very nice creation ! The level of detailed is very good at this scale. I though initially it was bigger indeed. Great use of the "new" small panel. LegendOfLeo actually built a bigger version of the articulated 6x6 :
