[MOC] Small Rat Rod
rhplus replied to rhplus's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks, I was quite surprised how well the mechanism works. Thank you! I'm afraid that usage of 3/3/3 tiles are impossible, 2x1 tiles are the only solution because they have no studs on bottom side. -
[MOC] Small Rat Rod
rhplus posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, I'm back in business after some years of dark age and I want to present you my new MOC, which is actualy a facelifted version of my older rat rod presented here years earlier. The model is build from scratch using current pieces and building techniques, sharing the main concept with its predecessor. Model features drag link steering operated steering wheel in cockpit, openable doors, detailed fake engine and fuel tank. I hope you will like it! -

[MT] Baja-Boot desert racer
rhplus posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, let me present you my latest MOC, it is Model Team version of the "Baja-Boot" desert racer. The original car was built by Vic Hickey in 1967 for the race Mexican 1000 which came to be known as the Baja 1000. The car was driven by Steve McQueen and Bud Ekin. In the first appearance the car unfortunately retired, but it has long racing history with the victory in 1969. Now the Baja-Boot is owned by petrolhead James Glickenhaus the owner of many interesting pieces. The lego version features HOG steering with the spare tyre, fake engine with exhaust pipework and some characteristic details of body and interior. PS: thank to member erix for posting his technic version of Baja-Boot which compelled me to finish this MOC after almost a half year of catching dust. Edit: few pictures of real car -

Great entry! I like the whole "steel" structure and the movement mechanism of the arm. Very original creation :) -

[TC8] Ancient Greek Crane
rhplus replied to rhplus's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I made progress with appropriate color scheme and made both remote control and manual versions manual crane works well, but the tail is too light and it tilts under load... I tried to build some counterweight with bricks but it is still too light. So the motorized version is the final one. -
[TC8] Ancient Greek Crane
rhplus replied to rhplus's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for advices, I think can make a manual version too with no problem The main advantages why I choose motorized version was the significant weight of batteries and motors which is good for stability and the possibility to lock the winches with worm gear but these problems are easy to solve -

[TC8] Ancient Greek Crane
rhplus replied to rhplus's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the kind words I was thinking about one of these beasts, but as I am limited on parts I decided the older version , good thing is that the principle is pretty much the same Go for it JJ2! lets make our own category Thanks Moz, I hope it will be quite efficient too. I am planning lifting capacity test as the model will be complete. -
[TC8] Ancient Greek Crane
rhplus posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, my entry for the latest contest will be ancient greek crane like this one. And here are some photos of my current progress. The design is very simple but it is how it should be... it's a bit rainbow now because I don't own much technic pieces but the order is placed and I hope that new parts will arrive soon. I decided to motorize it with Lego PF instead of original human power - motors and battery box will act as counterweight. And yes, that red tile with flame on it is PF receiver dummy :D -
