Hubble 1:110

[riccardino]

Hello, I'm really new to building. I like lego but I'm starting now to use Stud.io and creating MOCs

I would like to create the HST for my 1:110 Shuttle. Unfortunately, the two cylinders must be 3 and 5 studs. 

For the 3 studs cylinder, I can use 93168 even if it is only 6 studs long. This sections must be 9 studs long

For the 5 studs cylinder, all other MOCs use 60474c02. But the diameter is only 4 studs. How can I create a 5 studs cylinder?

Concrete Mixer 42112 uses four of the Technic Panel Curved 7x3 (24119) to make its propane tank, which is gives a 5 stud cylinder. Not sure if it’s a smooth enough look for your model, but it might be worth checking out.

68327 wheel has exactly 5 stud diameter

Thanks to both! 68327 seems very interesting. Now I should imagine a way to close the cylinder...

You could use a 3l cylinder and clad it with lift arms held by threading a rubber band through the holes or by using soft axles threaded through them.

another possibility is to use tracks around a smallIsh cog then join onto the holes in the tracks. This might be a bit tricky at that scale though.

3l cylinder... I don't find it on bricklink

[MinusAndy]

You’d likely have to find a wheel that is 3l and use that as a core.

Got it. Like this one https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4266#T=S&C=9&O={"color":9,"iconly":0}

[MinusAndy]

Yeah that would work. There’s a 3l radar dish if you wanted to close off the ends too
