Epic Technic Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 So I created this topic to see what future projects you might have. Hopefully this can become a source of inspiration for people that can't think of something to build or just want to find a cool idea. My future projects: Tuned Nissan GT-R http://www.gtspirit.com/2013/01/19/fast-and-furious-6-blue-nissan-r35-gt-r/ Features: Lowering suspension Small scale Two speed automatic gearbox Studless body Anyone recognize the GT-R? So what future projects do you guys have? Quote
Kiwi_Builder Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 A few ideas I have are: Kenworth K104 tri-drive tractor unit International T line dump truck Scraper Kenworth K104 8x4 dropside tipper with matching 4 axle trailer (requires parts from 42043 to complete) Quote
DrJB Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 A GBC, based on a bucket wheel excavator, with some bionicle parts 'never' used before Quote
Nalyd997 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I am designing an 8x8 with locking diffs and maybe planetary hubs at the moment in LDD. I am probably going to build NKubate's Predator as well. I am also going to build a machine similar to Nico71's Yes/No sculpture for the Brickvention next year and make a GBC module around it Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 i'm going to make a buggy. someone idea's for one. It would be some kind of baja 2000 or something Quote
JGW3000 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'm thinking of this, but not sure how to capture the body panel shapes accurately Quote
DrJB Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Are you going for a 'new', 'weathered' or 'totaled' (after a side crash) look? Quote
alvarol11 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) The stickers are the best solution Edited April 3, 2015 by alvarol11 Quote
darsedz Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I'm thinking of this, but not sure how to capture the body panel shapes accurately In my opinion - it's a issue of scale ;) Quote
BusterHaus Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 The stickers are the best solution A ball peen hammer will also do the job. Not that I advocate modified Lego bricks. It's just a quick way to achieve that look. Quote
Coola1 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I'm currently working on a small yet fast little car that's really fun to drive. Right now I'm on the bodywork, should be done in a week or so. Edited April 3, 2015 by Coola1 Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I'm attempting to build the Hennessey velociraptor supercharged, which featured in that Top Gear challenge. Progress is slow for me, it should have been finished but I haven't had time to finish it. It will have 4x4 through a 4 speed gearbox (if it even works) via 2 Xl motors. Body will be yellow, with a mix of studless bodying and panels. It will use the 42030 tires with the 42000 wheels. I want to try and make a custom engine, like in brunojj's laferrari. I also want it to be the best off-road technic pickup in terms of off-road capabilities and performance. Also an incredibly strong chassis. Last year I made an off-road suv prototype which could drive down a whole flight of stairs, and I want to make this pickup twice as good as that. If the gearbox works, it should hit a top speed of 5-7kmh (faster than my huracan). But the difference is, I want it to reach 5kmh on just about any terrain offroad. Quote

Thats an ambitious project, I like it! Four speeds I think might hinder the trucks performance. I would go with three. Quote
miguev Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I have a few ideas for the next few decades (you can +1 them here)... So far, I've done the BMW R-12 motorbike and attempted the snowmobile (FAIL), the FINSA truck and nothing else. Features for each model are mostly in the air, I'll decide as I build. I'm currently trying my hand at bodywork, trying to build one for Sheepo's MAP... not going very well Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I want to make it as big as I can manage. I reckon that it's first gear will have torque galore XD Quote
piterx Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 ill start a thread later to talk about this :P Quote
marceriusLV Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I am still working on my Toolcat 5600, next up is Lamborghini Veneno (studless, no RC, 7+R gearbox, suspension and so on, actually I am working on chassis and gearbox already) and maybe then SaaB Aero X. Quote
kamsohal Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 can you imagine the size of the bucket wheel excavator if its a complished gonna be huge Quote
DrJB Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 can you imagine the size of the bucket wheel excavator if its a complished gonna be huge Yes, but there has already been an attempt, an entry in the TC5 context. It's a fascinating machine, very complex, and rather 'imposing' Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Good luck with the pegaso and the komatsu wa-1200 I try to build them... Quote
Captainowie Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I had a list of things to build, including these that I've had in mind since 2006. But then I started building GBC modules. I've got enough ideas for that to keep me going well into the future. Quote
miguev Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Good luck with the pegaso and the komatsu wa-1200 I try to build them... Thank you! Will certainly need it Quote
Olof Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Considering that i just built a tourbillon, I´d like to ´´upgrade´´ it to a tri-axial or at least double axis tourbillon. Check out this video of my tourbillon and leave your opinion about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieCcbiTtpps Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I'm currently working on a road grader, F4U Corsair, and a forwarder (on hold for a while). I'm also working on a fully articulated tandem drive axle assembly for a yet to be determined truck. I may end up with two different axle designs. Other projects in the planning stages include two different tow trucks, a feller buncher, telehandler, AC700 crane, four different trucks, and some other things I'll probably never build. Quote
miguev Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I'm currently working on a road grader, F4U Corsair, ... Looking forward to seeing your F4U Corsair Edited April 5, 2015 by miguev Quote
