Alasdair Ryan Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Had lego not invented the plate back then? Since I see that you opted for a cardboard roof. Edited January 26, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
just2good Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 No offense, but this is by far one of the funniest threads I've read in a while. At least y'all improved. Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I really wish I had some pictures of my old Technic mocs. I rarely finished a project, and the ones I did finish looked pretty bad. I had a studded fighter jet that had mixed up flight controls (rudder connected to the control stick) and landing gear that didn't work right. Worst thing I ever built was with my RCX 2.0 set. I'm horrible at programing stuff, and I could never figure out how to program it. I built a contraption that bolted over my bedroom light switch. I could use the remote to turn on/off the lights from my bed. It worked ok, but that was probably the worst and only thing I've built with an RCX. Quote
Lasse D Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I had a decent Model Team tow truck once... then I turned it into this abomination: Quote
Technyk32231 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I would have to say that my worst MOC was my first attempt at a supercar, when I was 7 or 8 years old. It was AWD, it did have steering, and the axles did work well, but it didn't have suspension, and I made the dumbest mistake with the gearbox. The input of the gearbox was hooked up to the front axle, and the output was hooked up to the rear axle. So, the axles would go at different speeds. The gearbox was the 4 speed by Sariel though (nonsynchronized) Quote
SheepEater Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) The ugliest: And I though it was awesome that long time ago (1 year). While the MOC I think is actually fine, I wanted to point out that those wheels look really ugly and yellowed, you should really clean them. My worst MOC was made in the 80s and I have no photos from that era. It was an ugly snowmobile made from parts from the 8660 arctic rescue truck set. It was motorized with set 8700.

legolijntje Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I don't make mocs very often (although there's one that is almost done, you'll see it soon), but I that doesn't mean I don't have a worst moc. My worst moc (as far as I can remember) is this one: (click image) Quote
Moz Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) The smiley face box trailer still shames me. It was thrown together quickly to go with the 8871 you can see there. I was part way into designing a rounded section for an unrelated project when I got asked for the truck/trailer for a display. For some bizarre reason I looked at the curve and thought "trailer with rounded front", so I built it. Then because I was insane, I put the smiley face on the side. I'm not sure this even qualifies as a technic model... Edited April 28, 2013 by Moz Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Mine first moc that i build after 26 years off dark age whas a Ferrari LMP 1 and is so ugly that i never post it. Lucky for you and myself, that i am a fast learner and the next moc's where a lot better Quote
Rook Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Prepare to laugh your a**es off at my very first and worst ever MOC, built when I was very young! It didn't handle too great! And we have a winner! O.o Wow stunningly painful. I'm impressed that you were willing to share it. Quote
Sebeus I Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) My first Technic MOC, it was a 4x4 with independant suspension and a gearbox but eventhough it had an RC buggymotor It didn't move, it could steer but not return-to-center... Since then I realized it never worked because of the gear ratio, the RC Buggy motor had to be geared down, nowadays I manage to build cars that really work, driving and steering by Remote (because I'm smarter now and I have better parts) But allas they are never finished...

allanp Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 And we have a winner! O.o Wow stunningly painful. I'm impressed that you were willing to share it. Sure do , well I was 7 when I created that masterpiece! Wait... is that a soft shock absorber with no wheel just hanging there? Yes, yes it is Quote
dikkie klijn Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Terrible at driving and the body disintegrated quite rapidly . Quote
fresko Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Here is my first MOC, note its wasn't build with Technic bricks. I made it when I was a kid, so forgive me that not all blocks are Lego. Now I'm older, and I'm a serious builder, I use only official Lego-parts. Edited April 30, 2013 by fresko Quote
merman Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I hardly ever do MOC's. This is one of the few examples... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=261089 Quote
Rook Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Sure do , well I was 7 when I created that masterpiece! Yes, yes it is Ah 7, that's not that bad then. I don't have any pictures to my knowledge of anything prior to my dark ages. Excluding one image of me getting a castle set for Christmas. (See Flickr) Edited May 1, 2013 by Rook Quote
Technyk32231 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Wait... is that a soft shock absorber with no wheel just hanging there? Yeah, I was thinking that too..... just wanted to wait until someone else posted about it so nobody thought I was crazy. Quote
Doc_Brown Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Here's my first one this year, it looks good, but dang the engineering was terrible! Every gear crunched and barely moves. The steering would disintegrate after just the slightest bump. As long as we learn from our "disasters" its not a waste of time. Edited May 4, 2013 by Doc_Brown Quote
Hopey Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 I came out of my dark ages while I was living abroad in the UK. I've recently moved home to Australia, during which I picked up a box full of lego from when I was a kid which my parents had thankfully held on to. I opened it up to find this monstrosity: See, I'd been into this box once before, mid-dark-ages (about 10 years ago), and I'd decided to try and build a 4WD car. I had 2 uni joints and 2 diffs, which would have been enough if they were of the same type, but one was a 28 tooth (from 8850) and one a 16/24 tooth (from 8858). So I had to construct my own centre diff, by drilling out the centre hole of a 64 tooth gear. If only I'd known about bricklink back then... Quote
