anothergol Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 A low-part count tricopter. I'll have to invest time in taking good pics, so for now it's better as a rendering. It's on Lego Ideas. Not that it has a chance to ever reach 10k, but it's still another valuable place to be seen. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/93273 If anyone wanna build one, I'll share the LDD. I made sure to only use parts that I could easily find. The rarest one is the dark grey wedge at the top, & most expensive ones are probably the paint rollers in the cockpit. Quote
Krikkit Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 This is freaking awesome! I love it. The built in landing legs is brilliant. Quote
samurai-turtle Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 It kind of looks like a weird "Mixel" to me. And, I think it is a good thing. Quote
m0dulo Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 This is gorgeous. I like how it opens up for an operator. Of course I'd like to check out the LDD! :) Quote
anothergol Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Here it is: http://fiastarta.com/SideStuff/Tricopter_Final.lxf Whoever wanna build one, most bricks are easy to find, you will have problems with: -6187 bar handle, getting more rare in light grey -45677 roof, doesn't exist in light grey (maybe this year? It's in the LDD), but looks as good in dark grey -58176 "globes", they don't exist in transparent. However, don't try colored ones, once they're in a hook, you can't take them out. They should be 4773 "globes", but those are VERY old (still findable, though). I've used transparent round tiles here. -(little round tiles that don't exist in dark grey [god knows why], light grey works as well) It's easier to build separately the 9 parts that are hinged together.

DuckBricks Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Sorry to revive this old topic, but could you share the LDD file? I'm a big Blacktron builder and would love to mod this for Blacktron use (I understand most of its parts aren't in black, but would still like to give it a shot with my own modifications. Quote
LittleJohn Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Great work! I love the little transport vehicle Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Great creation, quite innovative! Quote
Razi Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I love this! This looks like something that may not be so far into our future! Quote
joestar Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I love this design and ready to build one. Thanks For sharing LDD file. Quote
___ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 just a suggestion: wouldn't it be better if the front big part was transparent? Oh,,if it is not render but actual real built then forget my thought Quote

The LDD file was in my post, 2 posts above yours. Should be easy enough to make it in black. I'm currently working on a walker companion for it, still waiting for some bricks but the body is ready & very sturdy. just a suggestion: wouldn't it be better if the front big part was transparent? Oh,,if it is not render but actual real built then forget my thought yeah that piece doesn't exist in transparent, but anyway the idea is that it's all driven by monitors inside, think Ghost in the Shell Next one has a transparent windscreen - hoping it will fit like it does in the LDD.

___ Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Oh, you shared your MOC ldd file? That's great! I will look at it today and see what I could do with it (if anything at all ) Quote
anothergol Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 will have to take better pics, but the walker is going well: Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Now that's one cool mech......Brick On 'anothergol' ! Quote
Razi Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 *drops drink and it shatters on the ground while I stare in awe* Quote
anothergol Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Finishing its alternate crab-like version (will need to replace the windshield by a light blue one, which apparently exists without the bottom flange), and working on a mosquito alternate of the tricopter. While the one on wheels holds one of the new six-shooters, this one has 2 of the new shooter plates in his claw. Quote

You see, now it only looks PERFECT!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: Looks like my suggestion works this time... Quote
