mla2 Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 I'm currently on a hiking vacation in Norway and for the rainy days I brought 42139 with me to try and make an alt for it. Initially I wanted to do a certain crane but I quickly found the available parts didn't allow this. After this the chain elements made me want to try a hot rod with a chain sticking out of the engine as some kind of belt drive. Luckily the weather has been quite good but I still managed to make a hot rod I'm quite happy with. It looks a bit like a T-Bucket style hot rod, but an all terrain version hence the name :) It has HOG steering concealed as an engine part, a lowered front axle, pendular rear suspension, openable doors and a nice looking interior. The engine has four very large exhausts, and drives the chain. Below are some pictures I made. Hope you like it and any feedback is welcome. When I get home I will do the virtual model and free instructions. I estimate it uses at least 80% of the sets parts. Quote
mla2 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I've created the virtual model and some renders. The part count is 610 parts. Edited September 4, 2022 by mla2 Quote
mla2 Posted September 5, 2022 Author Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks, that's good to hear! I've now also found a model of the original on https://fogeyman.tistory.com/1320 and made a comparison render. I didn't actually build the original myself so it's interesting to see :) Edited September 5, 2022 by mla2 Quote
