  Do your minifigs need a powerful front loader?
 
I've just finished some LDraw instructions for a minifig scale articulated front loader. (URL) features working steering and a bucket that is raisable and tiltable. Both bucket operations are easily controlled with a dedicated handle, and both (...) (26 years ago, 4-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)

Nice looking model Fredrik. I wish I were so talented. Once I get my place back together, (I just moved to another residence) I plan to build it. Thanks for the detailed information! John Matthews aka leonard0 (26 years ago, 5-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) I think they will, but it may be that you need to extend the axles that hold the wheels. I've used one 4-axle for each wheel (they need to be able to move independently when turning, so one 8-axle per pair of wheels is right out), and you may (...) (26 years ago, 5-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Do your minifigs need a powerful front loader?
 
(...) Well, my layout isn't too pedagogic, but I figured that with all the images from the different angles, it just might be possible to assemble the model. ;-) A bad thing is probably that you really need the bucket to actually make the model, and (...) (26 years ago, 5-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)
