Lego 46 Model 42055 Part 5

Now I have a working base unit for the Bucket Wheel Excavator it’s time to make the rotating base which serves as the connector for the conveyors and bucket wheel arm. This build took two hours. I had only really budgeted about ninety minutes of time and so I was feeling quite tired towards the end, but the result is gorgeous.

Here’s some detail of the build.

I’m about a third of the way through the instructions and not quite halfway through the separate bags!

Here’s the conveyor superstructure part way through the build:

This is the initial joining of the pieces but with more work still to do:

Another of the completed sections so far:

Lego 46 Model 42055 Part 4

Caterpillar time! The big boy needs wheels (or similar). Build time for these was about an 45 minutes for both.

And here are the caterpillars attached to the base chassis.

Lego 48 Model 75169

Another in this mni-Lego season. Here we have Qui-Gon fighting Darth Maul in the Naboo power station (?). Obi-Wan awaits to avenge what is about to happen!

You are being spoilt these days as we have another gallery for you!

Lego 47 Model 75102

It is a mini-Lego season here and so there’ll be a couple more models to show along the way.

This Lego is so lovely it needs its own gallery to show it off properly!

Lego 46 Model 42055 Part 2

Part two of the journey into the largest Technic Lego kit ever available. I made the dumper trump that comes with the bucket excavator. It’s a nice little kit with steering and a raising bed.

The bed raised:

And finally, a mean front view.

Lego 46 Model 42055 Part 1

This is part one of a series of communications about Lego Model 42055. It’s a monster and so will be spread in sections as I am looking forward to categorising my journey.

This is the box:

There’s a Lego DeLorean on top to give an idea of scale. It is a very big box. It is the largest Technics set. The box has a gatefold style to it and so opens out to look like this:

42055 - Gatefold Image — 42055 – Gatefold Image

The next exciting part was opening the box and spreading out the various part-bags. There are nearly four thousand pieces in this monstrosity and here some of them are:

42055 - Some Of The Parts — 42055 – Some Of The Parts

The white box on the right has the instruction book and also more part-bags in it!

42055 - Second Lot Of Parts — 42055 – Second Lot Of Parts

And finally for your delectation I have an image of the instruction book.

42055 - Instruction Book — 42055 – Instruction Book

Thus ends the first communication concerning 42055.

Lego 44 Model 60101

Here is the Lego City Cargo Aeroplane.

It’s a pretty neat little model.

On immediate inspection I think it looks a lot like the Lockheed S3 Viking, but I will soon be corrected if it doesn’t.

Lego 43 Model 75115

This particular Lego model is coincidence. It has nothing to do with the excursion yesterday. Surprisingly the shop at the Identities Exhibition had zero Legos!

Lego 42 Model 76045

I think this is the last one of the Lego Season. This is a Batmobile and some baddies.

And here he is coming for you!

Lego 41 Model 60119

Another in the series of “Lego Season”. Here’s a Lego City Ferry. It’s a nice little model, though not that little.

It is well worth the build:

Lego 40 Model 75152

‘Tis the Season of Lego. Another model for you to peruse. This time it’s a Star Wars thing. I will admit that I am not boned up on Star Wars vehicles, perhaps I need some more Top Trumps cards. Most of my early knowledge of planes and vehicles came from Top Trump cards.

Lego 39 Model 60044

This is the second Lego season model made. It’s from the Lego City series which is one of my favourite. I like Space, Technic and Lego City the most. I do need to get in to the computer controlled stuff one day though.
