Ricecracker Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Here's my latest MOC. I built it for a competition for my LUG. This my revisit to set 6677 Motocross Racing. The reason I chose to make the Bronco is because it was around in '86, the year the set was released. The two models share many similarities, most notable of which is the colour scheme. Others include the raised suspension, tinted glass, sunroof and left rear mounted antenna. The wheel design is by Nolnet, and the suspension is based on _lichtbau_'s design. Enjoy! As always, find more on my flickr page. Quote
danim Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 nice bronco not too keen on the motorbike though Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 COOL pick up truck with HOT suspension - hello the 1970's again ! The bike is different - but still in all excellent designing 'ricecracker' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
wooootles Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Nice suspension... And the white roof makes it classic Bronco. Quote
prateek Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Suspension is nice, but the real star is the trailer! I love the shape made by the jumper plates. The bike is good, but the engine part could use a bit of work. Quote
slacker int Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Nice revamp ricecracker! you have done a great job capturing the feel of the original while updating it for 6 wide world! I actaully really like the design of the bike too! Quote
Ricecracker Posted April 11, 2010 Author Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks, everyone! As for the bike, I've received the same comments on flickr. I've been trying to work in an engine, but so far to no avail. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Very nice! Reminds me of the Outback theme (which I loved). Great job on the suspension. It's neat to see the Bronco on the Pirate Island base. You did an equally nice job on the trailer and motorcycle. This would make a neat little set. Quote
Skalldyr Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Yea, really nice little set! The bike is so simple but absolutly amazing! Quote
anna Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Very good creation, i like the moto and the supensions! Nice little MOC Quote
Ralph_S Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Very nice. I do have a question: with both axles hinged in the centre, what keeps the Bronco from tipping over? Cheers, Ralph Quote
Lord Arjay Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Nice bronco ricecracker. I like the suspension a lot. I have to agree with prateek though that trailer is amazing, lovely shape. The bike not so much but still I like it none the less. Well done! Quote
Ricecracker Posted April 11, 2010 Author Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks again, everyone! It's nice to hear different people's opinions. Very nice. I do have a question: with both axles hinged in the centre, what keeps the Bronco from tipping over? Cheers, Ralph Friction. The technic pins that attach the axles to the centre have friction ridges. I'll try to get an underside picture of it late today. Quote
Ralph_S Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks again, everyone! It's nice to hear different people's opinions. Friction. The technic pins that attach the axles to the centre have friction ridges. I'll try to get an underside picture of it late today. That explains it. There's no need for you to take a picture as far as I am concerned. Cheers, Ralph Quote
