Heavy Machinery by LeuraZ

Thanks for the comments!

I thought about making a quick fit system for the Volvo, but it seems that it would have been difficult to make it small and durable enough. I might take the Volvo and try to make it some day, but as of now, I wanted it to be durable to withstand the abuse it might take. It's somewhat hard to get the tiny parts to last long, but I should try it when I've got more time.

Soulriver's excavator is also well detailed. I don't know if you modelled it based on any real life machine, but it still looks very real. The tracks also work very well. I'd however make the boom and arm a little bigger, as they now look somewhat small compared to the superstructure. Overall it works very smoothly.

You are a genius. How long did it take to make each one?

LeuraZ thx for the post for my thread.i was wondering if u had any problems with your wheeld excavator i dont know wy but some times my excavators boom goes up and dawn by it self try it out if u want and tell me if the same think happens to you.

LeuraZ thank you i try everythink the problem was that the boom and the arm was touching a little bit and i made more room so the arm can go in and out and it fix my problem.with the blade the problem was that i didnt conect mid piston lol.thx for everythink.

INNCREDIBLE! You are the rz22g of heavy machinery!
EDIT: soulriver, please don't double post. There is an edit tool in which you may edit posts instead of double posting. Thanks.

It takes about a month or longer. I begin to think what kind of machine I'm going to make and is it even possible to do in LBP. After that I try to find enough pictures and videos of the machine to make the machine as accurate as possible. After that it's just trial and error, when I'm trying to make a block of wood into a proper shape and get the whole machine working like it should. And oh yes, sometimes that can really get my blood pressure up high, lol.

You're welcome. I'm glad you got it working.

Thanks!

And now I've got a little something something:

A Junttan PM 25H pile driving rig

It still needs few details and a proper level to go with, but other than that, it's ready. I had to cheat with the tracks, since they really couldn't handle the weight and vibration. And because I can't even make good tracks in LBP. (My weak spot)

Some pictures for you to view:

I guess that's all for now.

Amazing!

bravo, very detailed almost doesn't even like lbp

They all look very cool, construction level anyone? with your machines it would be the most epic level of all time

Oh, well hello again, folks! I haven't forgotten you! Just managed to buy my copy of LBP2 in the middle of the week and thought it would just be the time to start building "little something something". I've been plowing snow like a madman for what, three months, I guess. Luckily it haven't been snowing that much now, so I guess I might just have time to get into LBP2.

And the little(?) something something. What's that gonna be?:
