AussieJimbo Posted August 25, 2011 What a mad vehicle. You've captured it really well in Lego. :classic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 25, 2011 Excellent work there 'de-marco', both the red and the blue carts are pretty dam close to those one's in the photos. Keep up the cool work and Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 25, 2011 Those are some great funky little vehicles 'demarco'. They look great. What are their origins apart from 1958? Great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toadtorrent Posted August 25, 2011 That is one crazy vehicle. Before you posted the pic of the real one, I thought they were some cross-over Fantasy/Castle/Harry Potter centaur thing. Where the heck are these things used??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
22kane Posted August 25, 2011 I've never seen anything like that but I like it. They're almost like functional go-karts. Nice work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danim Posted August 25, 2011 could you show us a dissasembled view as I would really like to have one of these for my city Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieJimbo Posted August 25, 2011 This pic shows how the real thing was steered by shifting body weight on a pivoting platform. Specs from another site: 6 horsepower 15km/h top speed Load capacity 2 tonnes :classic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted August 25, 2011 Never seen anything like that before, but you've really nailed it - these are brilliant replicas. Steering a motor vehicle by shifting your body weight? Sounds like Segway, only 50 years earlier... And compliments on your photo skills. Super crisp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted August 25, 2011 Nice rendition of thses peculiar vehicles! I remember seeing them somewhere years ago, and I was facinated by the ingenious steering mechanism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted August 25, 2011 I love the funkiness of this vehicle. It looks very cool in lego too. Awesome job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted August 25, 2011 You've captured them very well in Lego, very smooth design! I reckon the originals are battery powered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieJimbo Posted August 25, 2011 I reckon the originals are battery powered? Nope, one cylinder diesel engine. :classic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_spock Posted August 26, 2011 Interesting MOC. What country are those cars from? Kind of reminds me of the transports in Star Wars Episode IV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
