Micro Mog
 

Well I am already tired with my Micro Range Rover sport that I built about a month ago so I decided to order up a unimog 1300L model to see what I can do with it since mogs are my favorite crawlers in 1:1. Its a 1:35 model so I am skeptical if the body will fit right with the micro crawlers axle width. If the body fits then I will build myself a new scaler and if not then I will have a sweet mog model sittin on my shelf :mrgreen:. Anyways I havent been able to find any real dimensions on this model online so I will be posting dimensions for anyone else who is interested. Stay tuned for updates "thumbsup"

Heres the model I ordered for a little teaser shot. Sure hope it fits!

anything can b made to fit with a big enough hammer man, lol should be sweet

Well its been a while since my original post but i have made a little progress since then. I got the 1/35 mog and it was drastically too small for the project so I bit the bullet and got the 1/24 revell unimog for the project. Anyways I got the kit last thursday and a week later its starting to come together. I would love to someday build a set of portals so its a little more scale but thats a future project. Still have to mount the electronics and build a bed for it to finish it off. Anyways here are a few pics for now fresh from painting.

Nice work..."thumbsup" Where did you get that body kit?

thanks! I got the kit on ebay. its an old out of production kit made by revell.

Wow that's sweet man

There will be a military variant?

Best looking micro scaler that I've seen yet "thumbsup"

i agree."thumbsup" best looking micro crawler ive seen..honestly..thats freakin awsome

thanks for the comments guys. I look forward to driving the piss out of this thing haha. Alex_Core i dont know if I understand your question. The goal of the project is a military mog built into a moderate crawler. I'm still deciding on the type of bed i will build for it. since there is so much weight up high with this rig I plan to shorten the front springs just a little bit, add weight to the wheels to shift the cg lower and add washers to the inside of the wheel hex to widen the track width just a little to fit the body better.

awesome work! "thumbsup" mogs rule

Sweet looking build "thumbsup"

Just cool like that with out bed..at ebay only fire mog not like your's..cost very high too...

Very nice! Gotta love Unimogs! Looking forward to seeing more! "thumbsup"

the kit i built it from is the fire one. I got a fair deal on my kit but some people want ridiculous amounts for them.

Well I am absolutely disgusted with myself right now. I took the mog out for its maiden voyage and wouldn't you know it, 24 year old plastic can be a little on the brittle side when the truck rolls over for the first time :-( it is very fixable but now I am very worried about other parts on the truck giving out on me. definitely bummed out at the moment.

Oh Nooooooo. Man... :cry:

Oh no! :shock: Well you have won the award, first time I ever saw one of these break in half :lol:

that little mog is awesome... but I think your carnage picture is f^%$ing great I laughed my ass off... then cryed.:) Great work too, bad she broke. I think you need to do a brass frame.

:ror: I thought it was a pretty funny too. I couldnt even believe it when i watched it happen lol. I am going to attempt to fix and reinforce the plastic frame since it broke where I drilled for the top links therefor weakening it. but yeah I will beef up this frame and if this is an ongoing issue I will have to go ahead and fab up a new metal frame to replace the plastic one.

Man that sucks! I'm in the process of building up a model kit too, and would hate for it to crap out with all the time invested in it. But that was a great build you did.
