Erix Builds

[erix]

Howdy Folks,

This is a very inspiring forum, I hope I can inspire others as well!

I came back to legos after 20 years with a gift from my kids, the 8048 buggy. This Midget Sprint Car MOC is from that set alone:

I've since got more sets, the 8051 bike being a favorite. This is a custom Bobber Hardtail:

Welcome to Eurobricks! Your kids are nice to give you some Lego Technic. My son only gives me a hard time!

My son only gives me a hard time!

Well tell him he's a good boy as that's what I would do.

Love the sprint car! I used to go to a dirt race track as a kid and the Sprints were always my favorite. Great job!

Thanks for the kind welcome!

Here is a take on the Monster Garage 3-wheeler they made with a giant 6 cylinder diesel engine and little else.

No build sequence but pretty simple.

Next a 60's style "digger" dragster powered by an air-cooled VW engine. Again, this one is made with only the 4048 parts:

Last is a V8-powered version of the Sprint Car wirh big wings like a World of Outlaws style car:

Oh man, awesome! I love the dragster and the midget sprinter. Very cool!

[TimH]

Hi erix. and welcome to Eurobricks. I like the midget sprinter and custom bike.

[Edwin Korstanje]

The stockcar looks amazing

[Tadej]

Nice, MOCs out of a single set are very hard to make and you did a great job

[Alasdair Ryan]

Good work but i think the cab on the dragster is falling off the end of the chassis.

[Tadej]

Yeah that cabin is too much to the back, it sould be in front of the rear wheels.

[Samanen]

Really cool models erix! I particulary like the last one

Back in the 60's and 70's they had dragsters like that (as erix mentioned in his post)

[erix]

Samanen, that's a cool photo. I forgot about all the wacky multi-engined contraptions those early racers thought up!

Better start a new digger build, crank-driven superchargers anyone?

I love the midget race car. Especially the angles of the panels are ingenious.

I hope your son will give you more sets so that you can make some bigger models

[erix]

Thanks Jeroen! That car came together over only a few days and I've always liked the way the panels tuck in right alongside the motor.

Yes, I'm hoping he sees my obsessive research of the Unimog set as a sign! Alrhough I could really use those big tires and wheels right now...
