The Red Cube Factory 4x SBricks, 13x PF motors and a Gopro

Awesome MOC, love the gopro element. Echo the useless machine vibe comment. This would be a great desk toy! -
[WIP] 63 Chevrolet Impala
Graydingo replied to Graydingo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
^ha ha that's great. Yep. Originally I was going more for a street rod appearance, but it was fun doing the lowering stuff. I just blew the impala apart last night because I was going to build Jorgen's Alfa 4c. That was really tough, but ya gotta move on. Sorry there wont be instructions. I think maybe a few more MOC's and I'll have one that's worthy of making instructions for. BTW check out the torque on the lowering mech. Most of it was on these 5L stop axles. On the alfa 4c I got to page 21 and realized I'm missing a lot of parts like white flex axles. So...looks like I'll be starting a new MOC. Most likely an early Porsche 911. I just went through all my B sets and they are all race trucks which I have no interest in building lol. -

[TC7] Bandits - Bug Out
Graydingo replied to Graydingo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
BUG OUT A Bandit by Graydingo Enforcers never know what hit 'em. Whether cruising off road, or on the high way -BUG OUT can wreak havoc from the highway or from the toughest terrain. If cover get's blown, its time to BUG OUT! And maybe launch a guided missile for the unsuspecting Enforcers! It's an off road buggy that converts to a prop plane with guided missiles. NORMAL FUNCTIONS - 4 link rear suspension - Opening doors - Rear differential, that drives the 4 cylinder engine. - Independent front suspension - Color Scheme - Custom License plate (I went to summer camp in Minnesota and I recall there being A LOT of bugs. :-D) - Light bar, Fog lights - HOG (Hand of Graydingo) steering Battle Mode Hidden prop clutch lever. Engages prop to drive train. Hidden prop safety lever. Releases prop / holds prop when in "Bumper" mode. 2 stage wing fold outs, exhaust pipes fold up to hold wings in place. Sliding bar holds doors in "Normal" mode with easy cockpit access. 4 guided missiles exposed in battle mode. Gear driven fold out tail section and two stage tail fin. Second stage of wings stay in place with rubber resistance. http://youtu.be/ChmaC-wCxn4 -

[TC7] Enforcers - Valuable Transport
Graydingo replied to Erik Leppen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Phenomenal! Guns are rad. Love that it's completely ordinary in normal mode! Very stealthy. -
[TC7] Bandits - The Sandstormer
Graydingo replied to MajklSpajkl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Most impressive indeed! +1 for mean looking normal mode! The two vehicle thing reminds me of those early cartoons. Like Optimus prime when his trailer would fly off and had separate functionality. The colors and little bombs and chains here and there are great attention to detail! -

[TC7] Bandits - Bug Out
Graydingo replied to Graydingo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Icarus here. meh, just scrapped the whole thing. It was getting too big and too heavy as per my usual downfall. I should have taken a picture -it was ridiculous. I even had double wheels on the back like the tumbler along with motorcycle front wheels. It was a big mess. I started over with a small frame and the original wheels I wanted to use all along. Goal this time is to keep it simple. no motors, no pneumatics, just good old fashioned Hand Of God. I think the folding wheels are out too. Just no simple way to fold a wheel that has a shock, or is driven or is steerable. -
[C-MODEL] 42025 - NASA Shuttle (Orbiter)
Graydingo replied to JamesJT's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Love the control scheme! Very clever and playable! Say. Where's that moving platform MOC for the shuttle? Is that the right scale?
