The KöF is finished build, but the lettering and a photo/video session are still missing.

That would be great and maybe we can make it to an exhibition together again.

Took me a "few" revisions to get here....

If it can be done better, it must be done better ;-) And here the WIP releases help me. You get feedback in time and can improve the model.

KaiW Posted November 8, 2021 This is the best Köf2 I have seen build from Lego, excellent work and usage of snot technologies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil B Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Shut up and take my vote .... this is amazing. Due to personal circumstances I am not going to be able to complete my own MEGA-KoF II which I teased in early October. And I am ok with that, because I could never compete with this most excellent rendition ... even though it is at a much small scale than mine, I doubt I could beat the details you managed to achieve - especially the crossed (X) side panels are fantastic. For those not familiar, this is what I had been teasing in the OcTRAINber Flickr chat: Edited November 8, 2021 by Phil B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For those not familiar, this is what I had been teasing in the OcTRAINber Flickr chat: i have an idea: why not make your köf around an inner metal frame so you could make it pull a wagon with you on it on 5" track kinda like this: just came intoy head as you are getting close to that scale.

Ts__ Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks Kai and Phil. Last update before completion. And Holger, there are no render images today, only photos of the built KöF. Thomas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ts__ Posted November 13, 2021 I thank you for the great encouragement! And now the last contributions: Video: I thank the organizers for the nice contest and all participants for the great exchange and the crazy critters ;-) Thomas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hod Carrier Posted November 14, 2021 You, sir, have built a Kof II to be proud of and set a new benchmark. That's a fantastic build full of clever techniques that I certainly would never have thought of. Very many congratulations!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paperinik77pk Posted November 15, 2021 I followed this build with extreme interest, because (at least for me) there's so much to learn from it. Small, smooth, practical - and that side hood panels are a masterpiece! Ciao! Davide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil B Posted November 15, 2021 The only problem I have with this build is that I now want to have one too ...... that'll be quite some reverse engineering :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amoreternum Posted November 16, 2021 A tutorial for this would be... the icing on a cake that's already to good to be true. Seriously, this is the best Lego Köf so far, deserving of winning. Wishing you the best of luck and success! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duq Posted November 17, 2021 I've already commented over on Flickr. Absolutely amazing model. As others have said, best Lego Köf, setting new standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
