42055-1 Bucket Wheel Excavator VOLUNTEERS WELCOME!
UltraHex started this discussion in Official LEGO® Sets and Parts

Hey all! I just noticed that no one seems to be working on 42055-1: Bucket Wheel Excavator. I'm wondering if anyone would like to collaborate on modeling this massive set. I figure we each build a section (conveniently separated by bags in the set's instructions) and then import them into a single model and publish it. Obviously there will be stickers and parts missing, but we can deal with that eventually.

Hello,
I can make the missing pieces if needed. I know the big circular rack is missing but I shall be able to find a way to make it. You could post here the missing pieces you encounter along the way. I'd love to see this big boy on Mecabricks.

😄 <- too small

Better.

Is there a notification when I edit a post, or do I need to make a reply for people to see it?

No notifications for post edit. It only works for new posts.

OK. From now on I guess I'll post missing parts I come across in a reply while maintaining a central list in the OP.

Floating point errors suck.

First section is done!

I don't know if anyone reads this thread still, but...

I'm back after a over a year of absence and working on this thing again. I'm a little disappointed that no one offered to help with this project (besides Scrubs) but I'm also kind of relieved because I wasn't around to coordinate.

Anyhow, I noticed 24121 1/4 Circle Gear Rack 11X11 still isn't done. So... Scrubs, if you're listening, any word on that?

I can make the decorations.

Awesome! Thanks Sealund.

I'll continue with bag 4.

Added some decorations for the little white truck.
