1/8th Scale Garbage Truck + Custom Mini Bins

Описание: Here it is, the project/video I have been working on for a while now, a scale model of an 18m³ GenV. I decided to put fitting Veolia signage on it of #71114 - I think it turned out great! (Of course, #71114 would not empty a load of garbage at the tip, and it does not collect garbage in Glenorchy, but I don't have a scale recycling centre yet!)
The truck is not perfect, it has some differences when compared to the real truck. Most notably, it is not hydraulic but rather controlled by servo motors and Arduinos. The grabber and arm is my 'version' if you like of a Bucher GenV/Gen6 grabber. The body is also modelled after a Bucher body, however there are some differences because I did not have the tools available to me.
The body, cab and chassis are all made of 1.6mm steel. I did all the welding and fabrication myself. The seam on the body is where the two pieces of steel meet on the back - I would definitely do this differently next time! The arm, grabber, bumper, mudguards and the mini bins (only the Brickwoods and the 140l Mastec) are 3D printed. I once again designed all the parts myself.
Here are some things that I wish to do to the truck in the future:
Controller that allows all the controls to be used by one hand, instead of them being separate on the cab.
Steering servo and DC drive motor, making it fully remote controlled.
Euro 5 Acco sunvisor, exhaust stack and snorkel.
Fuel tank, air tanks and storage boxes.
Rollers and more reach on the extend/retract function (not shown in this video).
Tidier wiring.
Interior and paint touch up.
Work lights.
Redo tailgate.
I hope you enjoy this video, a lot of effort went into it and I am quite proud of the results! I would like to do another video in the future, and do a better job of filming.
Cheers!
