skppo Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Hello! Due to recent developements I'm forced to post this thread about my plans for the Triple contest. This was the first thing that popped to my mind and I was aware that someone else will propably come up with it aswell. Oh well. The trio is a combine harvester, a tractor and a trailer for the grains. First one of which is not presentable yet. Trailer and tractor look fine currently but their functions need some fine tuning yet. Pictures with terrible cellphone quality for that authentic mystery wip feeling. I call dibs!

Carsten Svendsen Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah, really nice work, excpet I don't think the wheels fit on that wagon. I can't exactly say what it is, but something is off about them. I think the wheels might be too wide or too far apart. Quote
DrJB Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) For the record, I never liked the official Lego Technic Combine ... so any improvement over that is very welcome. Plus, it comes in green, and in addition to it not being my favorite color, it tends to 'disappear/blend' against a green background ... Edited October 18, 2013 by DrJB Quote

DrJB Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Hello! Due to recent developements I call dibs! My thread disappeared ... am I being ... 'silenced' ? Quote
DrJB Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I have sent you a PM. Thanks, haven't seen it yet ... EDIT: Found it. Edited October 18, 2013 by DrJB Quote
Lakop Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Nice tractor and trailer. The trailer looks very compact. I've not started on my idea yet. H Quote

I can't exactly say what it is, but something is off about them. I think the wheels might be too wide or too far apart. Do you think model team wheels would be better? They're the same diameter but narrower. I can't really shorten the wheelbase as the lift mechanism wouldn't fit Quote
Carsten Svendsen Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 As I said, I dunno. Something just seems a bit off and I can't quite put a finger on it. I wouldn't want you to touch the lifting mechanism as I think it's a brilliant design in such a small space. Quote
skppo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Here comes the harvester! looks like i forgot that sticker there, whoops And all togehter Current functions: Tractor - steering in the front - 3 piston inline engine - opening hood Trailer - turning front axle - lifting skipper - locking "rear board" Harvester - steering on the back - rotating cutter driven by the front wheels - clutch to toggle rotation - lifting cutter head - adjustable cut height ( lifts only the cutter but not the scoop) Edited October 24, 2013 by skppo Quote
Jim Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 One word...Wow!! Wait a minute...three words....wow, wow and wow! The harvester is crowning this entry. Very nice. Or should I be partial in my judgement? It's ok. Quote
Nike 2101 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Nice work. Harvester is my favorite)! Quote
Seasider Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Wow ... cool entry. Love the use of the colours Quote
skppo Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Wow ... cool entry. Love the use of the colours I chose the colors based on what i had the least. Extra level of challenge :) Thanks for the kind words y'all. Edited October 24, 2013 by skppo Quote
Thirdwigg Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 The Harvester is pretty cool. It looks like we have our first entry. Quote
Lipko Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 This is awesome, and executed very well. It's good that many people post their entries early, so we can all improve and optimize our models seeing the others. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Nice entry Skppo,I like the harvester. Quote
