Kids Tricycle

Long time ago I have acquired front wheel from 8420 set:

And it was left unused for many months, in the meantime I even found a good reason to use it:

But I was too lazy to build it. But there's a contest currently going on LUGPol, about building models that are built like Technic sets (which meant big problems for me, becuase I do not know how to build with panels ;) ). First category, up to 200 elements (my trike has 165).

It was a good occasion to pull out my never used panels from 8258

I am spending lot of time lately learning how to use MLCad and LPub, so I decided to test my skills, and I have made instructions for it.

Picture is a link to PDF from my Bricksafe account. There's no wheel from 8420 in LDraw parts, so I have used more recent one wheel.

Also, any suggestions about that instruction are welcome :)

A beautiful proof of less is more

Very clean design, it's almost LEGO system in its appearance

[Boulderer]

Great representation of the subject trike. Yet again, the restriction on part count leads to a really creative design

I was going to try something like that for the last contest, but college.

If anyone is still interested in building it, I have added this MOC to Rebrickable:

You are aware that it's not a motorcycle?
