fallentomato Posted February 16, 2009 B-V-9C I made this for Reasonably Clever's handtruck contest. Here's the various versions I tried out along the way. Hope you like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennimator Posted February 16, 2009 Very nice! May I steal lend the design? (Yeah I know, I have to find out better jokes, that one is soo overused. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keetong Posted February 16, 2009 I prefer the 3rd design you tried. It just seems more to the pattern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djo Posted February 16, 2009 nice MOC. great idea for making that handtruck into chair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Force Posted February 16, 2009 So, did you just squeeze the part with the bar into the handtruck? Is it strong enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fallentomato Posted February 16, 2009 I prefer the 3rd design you tried. It just seems more to the pattern. I did like the effect of the grill pieces, but I didn't like that the headboard was a solid piece. I wanted to continue the alternating bands of open space, so that's why i switched to the rubber band approch. If there was some way to attach the grill pieces with nothing behind them, they might work, but I can't imagine what sort of connection that would take. So, did you just squeeze the part with the bar into the handtruck? Is it strong enough? Yeah, it fits in there very snugly, the handles of the handtruck are spaced with two stud of space in between them. this makes sense since that is the armspan of a minifig. I usually don't like to use this kind of non-snapping connection, but it seemed like the most elegant solution and it's very stable. You can put a minifig in the chair without worrying about it falling apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueBard Posted February 17, 2009 Very clever design. Only four pieces but so effective! Will be a wonderful addition to a MOC I'm doing if you don't mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonwillems Posted February 18, 2009 This is the work of a genius! I immediately took out my plastic drawer of handtruks and started trying the design, and it works excellent. The handlebar piece fits nicely in between the top of the trolley. What you can do with the grill pieces is put them vertically instead of horizontally, it will break with the horizontal framework of the trolley but on the other hand leaves you with half see-through grills. I wish I still had that beach layout build.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
