I have 4 hobbies that dedicate my time to. AFL, Weber/ bbq, astronomy and Lego. None of these are cheap so cheap shelving it is

Pity it’s not the same scale.
That Labrador would dwarf the dozer. ![]()

On my model railway HO 1:87 scale I have a Liebherr 974 and a couple of Cat D 9 Hi Track's in HO scale for scenes on the layout later on .. The Liebherr does dwarf the dozers in real life too ..The 974 is a monster and the D9's aren't exactly small . |

Firstly i purchased the Liebherr from Zavvi at a good discount, took about a month to get here. I came across a second one via an online raffle on an FB page im apart of, cost me $20 ![]() I kept it unopened for ages as didnt know what to do with it. Eventually sold it to an old work mate who bought it for his son. Rest of my kits have been either been purchased from someone else either new or used or purchased online/instore. Definitely the excavator in real scale would dwarf the D11T

After fininishing stage two of the defender, i've ballsed something up and the rear axle dif works fine when spinning one wheel only, but when you try to move both wheels forward or rearward at the same time, it locks solid. Any hints from those who've built it, before i go pulling it all apart :(

I think the only way to fix it to pull apart and rebuild. Id have a look on various lego groups as it was/is a common thing

Yep, the Defender drive train locking up is very common problem on other forums. Carefully check the orientation of the diffs.

This Land Rover was the worst purchase i've ever made. After waiting for a replacement bag i never received, for 5 weeks, i finally got to the end of stage two. Start up stage three just now, and it's missing at least one, probably two or three more bags. ****ed off to the max.

oh it's coming along great, and the functionality is fantastic - i just can't believe how pathetic their quality control is, to me missing so many bags but still approved to fly out for sale.
