August 16, 2024Aug 16 Excellent work and a very good reason to add another 42177 to the shopping list 🙄👍
August 16, 2024Aug 16 Incredibly well thought out model. Iconic looks, lots of functions but also nice details in the engine bay and interior. The best part is the portal axles
August 16, 2024Aug 16 The idea of making portal axles is really impressive. The overall build looks good and is, of course, a natural alternate of the G class. I also quite like the way you used the suspension arm in the front for the plow. Nice!

Only a bit too fast for us regular alt model builders out there...
August 20, 2024Aug 20 As for Eric's Solution, VERY WELL DONE! I really appreciate B Models 'cause the limited pieces count is a very challenging issue if compared to a MOC. love the overall design and the drivetrain in particular (and a special mention to the shifters used as air tanks).
