HorcikDesigns Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) The 6614 I built for this contest was not the only one model I had in mind for this contest. I am not sure which one will make it to the starting line, but currently this one is more likely. Well, it is probably not my best MOC, and I hope to fine-tune it until the end of the contest. As a kid I was looking old catalogues and dreamed about owning many sets - this one was one of them. Honestly, I used to imagine it was equipped with full suspension, and never noticed it's nicely opening canopy. So, that's why I decieded to choose this one. I tried to mimic functions of the original as closely as I could with modern and available parts. The dimensions might be somewhere off by stud or two. There are many things to be improved here.

Maaboo the Witch Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Excellent job! Looks just like the original set and would probably make a pretty cool set today. Quote
SaperPL Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 Looks really good, you just need to get rid of the studded pieces on the heli and handle the trailer colours according to the original set. Quote
Thirdwigg Posted July 12, 2021 Posted July 12, 2021 I am so happy someone did 8286, and if anyone can pull it off @HorcikDesigns can! I am happy that you kept the look and feel for the original but modernized the look. It was great that you kept the modular components as well. I don't mind the tail and horizontal stabilizer on the helicopter, but can you clean up the rear bodywork a little. Maybe a panel or something to round it out? Finally, I like the white bumpers on the truck, but can you change Connector #5 to Connector #3? Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted July 13, 2021 Author Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) @Maaboo35 Tahnk you! @SaperPL I will think about replacing some parts, where is an adequate alternative available, but I think that black trailer would just blend with the car, if it was in original colourscheme, so I will most probably keep it DBG. @Thirdwigg I am happy you like it. The bodywork will definitely be modified, this is just a first iteration of it. Connectors#3 on the front bumper? Not sure about it, but I might give it a try. Or completely rebuild that section. ;D Edited July 13, 2021 by HorcikDesigns Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted July 19, 2021 Author Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Well, here we go. I did something here and there, cleaned the build techniques, rebuilt some sections. The winch, crane and camera attachments are now easily interchangible, like in the original set.

GerritvdG Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Wow, really nice, lots of details! Anything left on your TODO-list? Took me some time to compare everything with the original http://www.technicopedia.com/8286.html. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted July 21, 2021 Author Posted July 21, 2021 @GerritvdG Thank you! There definitely are things to be done and discovered, but none of them is hopefully necessary or blocking the way to submitting this as the finished state. Hope to find time to look for them. :) Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 This is such an amazing recreation. I genuinely want instructions to build this model. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted July 21, 2021 Author Posted July 21, 2021 @TechnicRCRacer Thank you! I really consider making them. Quote
