jorgeopesi Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 I think you should move the bottom of the windscreen forward a stud or two. Maybe, I am still working and trying diferent things, thank you for the advice . Quote
Paul Boratko Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 It looks really great so far! You certainly build fast... It would have taken me months to get where you are currently at... Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 It looks really great so far! You certainly build fast... It would have taken me months to get where you are currently at... Two years ago when I leave my dark ages to do this took me too much time and now with practice everything goes faster sometimes... For example I am fighting with the back and the upside of the car and never like me, another time to rebuild... Quote
timslegos Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Looking really cool. you build really fast . tim Quote
Bigfoot Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I love the front and the windscreen looks like it will fit in well. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 And more... problems with the doors... but close to be finish... If I get angry... roadster and ready . Quote
timslegos Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Wow that looks awesome! Are you going to add any lights to the front? tim Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 I don´t have lights, I never think use them on my MOCs because my only interest is the mechanical part but is a good idea... maybe someday I will use. Quote
timslegos Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 wlel maybe not pf lights but how bout just some clear lego pieces to symbolize where the lights would go? tim Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 , now I understand... yes... well the MOC be almost done I will work on the small detais like lights, seats and other things... Quote
Bigfoot Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I like the windscreen angle now. I have. No idea how you can replicate those curves. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 I like the windscreen angle now. I have. No idea how you can replicate those curves. Is not difficult Method A- test watch, test watch, test watch until you feel is going well... Method B- test watch, test watch, test watch destroy and looking for A method... and again and again... Thank you for all coments and advices always is useful to have many eyes . Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Looking great allready, nice work Quote
Robert M Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) You are right, it is the most dificult thing I preffer the mechanical part very much... this one is very bored... This might be a post from a few days ago, but I think this car doesn't reflect the personality of the SLS, but more of a NASCAR. Not necessarily correct underneath, but any plans to build a NASCAR as I think you would nearly got the effect perfect with this one. Edited February 23, 2012 by Robert M Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Missing things, details, seats, but a video... Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I see, the Mercedes already functions very well. lol Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Nice Truck trial O yeah, the SLS looks great too Quote
efferman Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 awesome vid and gourgeous shape of the sls Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Amazing work (also the R8)! You have not common building skill: perfect design and complex mechanisms Totally cool supercar! Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for comments I always try to do my best. The R8 was disassembled because the monopolized many parts but it will return better like another form of car I hope... Quote
Rikus Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I'm impressed! You are really fast in MOC building... And the result is awesome! Many compliments! I'm only surprised that no one asked you about the transmission. As I can see from first pics, it's a manual 7 speed + R, with indirect control. The shift stick needs only 4 studs width to change the 8 gears... Is it working smoothly? I think it's a wonderful idea; any chance to see more detailed pics of it and of the transmission as well? Edited February 25, 2012 by Rikus Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) First time I saw this system was on a Nico71 car, there are no more pics from this until I destroy it , but you can see the same system on my year old Testarossa but with only five gears and rc. I like this system because it makes more real the cars. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=469316 In the video you can see that it works fine.

Rikus Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I've seen the indirect gear control on the Nico71 Convertible, it's a wonderful ideea, but it was done with only 4 gears in that MOC, if I've seen well... Here you did it with 8 total gears, that's a good improvement, indeed! Should you find time to do it, I'd really like to see some closeup of your transmission system... Although I'm over-40, mechanical engineer and long time Technic fan (I built the first Car chassis 853 when I was 7yo), I still have so much to learn about the new opportunities given by studless building and new technical pieces.

Don´t worry when I finish the model I will destroy and take pics. I am over 30... 34 , and I returned to lego technic two years ago after 14 years or dark ages... I know well where you are... Quote
