de-marco Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Multicar - Dieselameise Multicar - M21 (Dieselameise) 1958 Quote
AussieJimbo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 What a mad vehicle. You've captured it really well in Lego. :classic: Quote
lightningtiger Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Excellent work there 'de-marco', both the red and the blue carts are pretty dam close to those one's in the photos. Keep up the cool work and Brick On ! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Those are some great funky little vehicles 'demarco'. They look great. What are their origins apart from 1958? Great job Quote
Toadtorrent Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 That is one crazy vehicle. Before you posted the pic of the real one, I thought they were some cross-over Fantasy/Castle/Harry Potter centaur thing. Where the heck are these things used??? Quote
22kane Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I've never seen anything like that but I like it. They're almost like functional go-karts. Nice work. Quote
danim Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 could you show us a dissasembled view as I would really like to have one of these for my city Quote
AussieJimbo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 This pic shows how the real thing was steered by shifting body weight on a pivoting platform. Specs from another site: 6 horsepower 15km/h top speed Load capacity 2 tonnes :classic: Quote
L@go Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Never seen anything like that before, but you've really nailed it - these are brilliant replicas. Steering a motor vehicle by shifting your body weight? Sounds like Segway, only 50 years earlier... And compliments on your photo skills. Super crisp. Quote
LuxorV Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Nice rendition of thses peculiar vehicles! I remember seeing them somewhere years ago, and I was facinated by the ingenious steering mechanism Quote
The Blue Brick Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I love the funkiness of this vehicle. It looks very cool in lego too. Awesome job! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 You've captured them very well in Lego, very smooth design! I reckon the originals are battery powered? Quote
AussieJimbo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I reckon the originals are battery powered? Nope, one cylinder diesel engine. :classic: Quote
youtoo Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 awesome! can you tell us which parts do you use for the tires? do you use... this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3139 plus these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=122c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=122c02 Quote
dr_spock Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Interesting MOC. What country are those cars from? Kind of reminds me of the transports in Star Wars Episode IV. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 I Want one! both the moc and the car :) Very nice and sharp build! Quote
greg3 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Brilliant!! Great lego versions of a really unusual vehicle.. nice work!! Quote
harakiri Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) They are made in germany ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicar and I totally like the MOC Edited August 26, 2011 by harakiri Quote
