skriblez Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Cool creation :) Could be a nice addon for a Unimog i would think :) Quote
Pat-Ard Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Emre, welcome to EB! You made a very nice MOC! Pat Quote
timslegos Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to Eurobricks! You are definitely off to a good start for only a month! I look forward to seeing more from you. tim Quote
dr_spock Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to Eurobricks. Your apron feeder could fit in a Great Ball Contraption (GBC). Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Welcome to EB! Your MOC, as a start, is really good! Keep up the great work! Quote
TinkerBrick Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Hi Emre! Congrats for your unusual moc. You see these kind of feeders mostly in GBCs. I like it so far. I would suggest reducing the size of the motor housing. Have you thought about using a worm gear driving a 12 tooth gear for the belt? This could cut the size of the housing by half. Anyway, great idea for playing with an excavator and a dump truck. Quote
youngwing Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Thank you very much for your good comments I'm new and need make many practice.. I love GBC, enjoyable and need intelligence. I want to make unsual machines with LEGO Technic. Hi Emre! Congrats for your unusual moc. You see these kind of feeders mostly in GBCs. I like it so far.
