Canticleer blues Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone! Inspired by the recent post-apocalyptic trend, I made a PA-themed buggy, testing a simple suspension system. Here's the pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949599 Front view. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949600 Back view. Sorry for the bluriness! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949607 Side view. Note the small gun on the other side made out of a screwdriver, and the ammunition inside the car. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949606 Shot of the rotating turret. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949608 The suspension system. It works because the wheels are on a seperate rod that's attached to the body only by a black technic pin with friction. Thus, while you're rolling it around, it will go over surfaces and basically fix itself! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949610 This is its simple 'interior'. Another blurry one, but it gets the point across. It has the capabiltiy to carry a passenger in addition to the driver. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2949609 The buggy's crew. One driver and one gunner- check! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=297545 Link to the whole gallery. Well, that's all for today! Comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Hope you enjoy the model! Edited May 9, 2008 by imperialshadows Quote
Ricecracker Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 very nicely done!! i really like the suspension and i like the fact it is a buggy (there arent many PA buggies around). one other thing i like is the way you did the wheels, just brilliant also, it looks like a bobcat loader to me X-D (which is a plus ;-) ) Quote
Asuka Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 A very interesting vehicle with an unusual and very smart frame, a nice turret and an unique shape. Cool. :'-) Quote
zero1312 Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 A simple and clever design. *wub* Great job!!! *y* Quote
Tarfful Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Sweet! *sweet* Reminds me of the movie Mad Max, which in case you didn't know is a PA movie with Mel Gibson, ;-) I really like the buggies susppension. *y* General Tarful Quote
Batbrick Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 A very cleverly built and all round awesome creation Canticleer blues. I love the suspension, and the gunner on the back is great. I like how you've made it look really weather beaten, and the little bits of assymetry in it. glad to see another post-apoc fan! Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
Canticleer blues Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Thank you for all the compliments! *sweet* I spent a few months developing this (as I often do with my MOCs), so I'm glad you all like it. I plan to make more PA creations later, after I finish with some of my other MOCs. Thanks again! Quote
