Paul Klop Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 This thing is awesome! Is the part on top of the tracks filled with Lego or is it a empty space? Quote
wissamms Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 What a monster! Would it be possible to have a video? Quote
DugaldIC Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 This is unreal, just the fact that you got the whole thing to function at that size is amazing and not to mention the details, looks awesome :) we'll done. Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Incredible creation All functions are driven locally, right? So no geartrains inside the model, only wiring? How did you achieve the weightbalancing of the superstructure? Quote
mzzl88 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 is this the first HOF (hall of fame) model for 2017....? wow really looking good... Quote

Yes no third party products, metal parts or others, just only Lego bricks and motors, i used 42055 yellow large turntable with four direction 1:3 gear and 1 xl motor, it is really more powerful for large turntable. How to balance? I always cal parts weight, the yellow body a little bit heavy than front arm. Body 5.5kg, front arm 4.8kg, crawled 3.8kg Quote
WvG_853 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I'm speechless, also about the speed of your successive excellent creations! Quote
RohanBeckett Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Very impressive! although I am curious as to why you didn't bother, or try to hide the XL motors at the bottom? Surely they could have easily fitted into each tracked section itself? that's a LOT of 2x1 yellow grill tiles too! :) Quote
legosamigos Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 14.5 kg of plastic. I can say only one WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! How long did you build this monster? Of course, I liked it Quote
Kmuffin Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 One word! Amazing! and that human for scale makes you look small Quote

suffocation Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 This is an instant classic. I wish I had even just a shred of your talent! It's also nice to see that 2 XLs are enough to move 30 pounds of Lego - helps put things in perspective, methinks. Quote
bord4kop Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Woooooowww What a machine! Truly stunning Quote
Dafgek81 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Awesome creation, but out off my leage, to expensive for me to build. And no instructions so impossible technically speaking. Quote
Myers Lego Technic Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 @shineyu Did you purposefully leave the Volvo sticker on the the model, or am I missing something. BTW, VERY nice Work. Quote

JJ2 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Best creation I've seen all year haha This creation is mind blowing, It's amazing that you have build something so large but still functional. Quote
agrof Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Something seriously went wrong with You and Lego... luckily for us. Although I am not a fan of huge builds, but I see the challenges in it, and huge respect for Your passion! One question: how is the superstructure connected to the tracks? Is it only laying on the turntable, or is it somehow secured (= can the model lifted by the superstructure)? Quote
Lakop Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 That's a giant! What a piece of work that is! I wold have iked to see some pneumatics of LA's involved but nevertheless it's an epic build. H Quote
dr_spock Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Most impressive. Good use of the new quarter gear pieces in the bucket. Extra kudoos for 100% LEGO. Quote
Rishab N Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Wow that is fantastic especially considering it is 100% Lego. There goes the Bricklink supply for yellow 5x11 panels Quote
Blakbird Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Holy buckets (so to speak)!! I wondered when someone would use the new ring gears to their full potential, and you have certainly done so. In the slew ring, did you use something for a roller between the upper and lower ring? I also like how you use the rings to open the bucket. This model is the same subject matter as Sheo's Terex TH400 (Cat bought Terex) but at a much bigger scale. The wheels used as sprockets are awesome, the drive is smooth, and the home-built actuators are incredible. Really wonderful job. Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Just one question: HOW?! I don't even build that big in my dreams! Incredible build, I am awed at the strength of your actuators, they aren't even bending in the photos... My mind has been blown by your work here. Quote
