    Try to look at rebrickable.com, there are tons of MOC, all with instructions, setlists and other usefull functions...

    I can't buy it, that it's just for avoiding fake companies make their copies sooner, then official LEGO. You just don't have a chance to make copy only from some pics, mainly if we talk about Technic sets with 1000+ parts. On the other hand, if they will show 2H sets in Nurnberg, those two weeks don't save them from copiing, if this would be the main reason.

    Hello, I haven't made anything new for quite a long time, so I've decided to skip some too ambitious project and make something smaller. Trikes are bit rare vehicals in the street, and they aren't too often in LEGO, too. So I've made one. It isn't based on something real, it's just real custom built. Functions are steering, suspension(rear live axle), V4 engine connected to rear wheels via differential.

    Yes, you both are right. I'll have to try set sheet of paper on the right side of the camera. I've had one additional bicycle light on the right side, but unfortunately its battery wear off in abut a minute and I lost charger somewhere

    Shot on my kitchen working board, with only simple kitchen light with my 10 years old Nikon D70 + set lenses. I think the result is not bad :)

    Custom trike [MOC]

    I've made instructions for this trike, so if you want to build it, here they are

    Custom trike [MOC]

    muffinbrick replied to muffinbrick's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Thank you all :) I'll take pic of rear suspension later. It's maybe unusual, but it works well . Front fork bends little bit, it's cost of subtile construction and angle, but I can live with it, in real life machine it would be made of steel tubes, which would be strong enough, this one is still just a LEGO

    I must say, that how I like your "steppenwolf"(I've wishlist on BL for missing parts already), this one I love . I'd stay with red/black color scheme, which is well appealing and fits with supercar/offroad mixture. I also like, how it's visible your style, steppenwolf and this one are like two different brothes for me. Really great work on both of them and hopefully you'll make instructions for this beauty as well.

    Very nice excavator, simillar to something I am planning. I mainly like, that you used one motor with gearbox instead of more motors, for me its more realistic and more TECHNIC. Well done

    Great C model, really nice job.

    finaly I had some time to make instructions for my A-model.

    Hallo everyone :) This is my first attempt to share my work in public I'm relatively new in technic, my first technic set isn't one year old yet and this one is my only second try to make MOC. I disasambled first one because of this contest. I haven't ambitions to win it, just to particapate, make some improvement of my skills and have a fun. I've started to build potential A-model - roadster. Now I have first sketch of chassis with 4 cilinder boxer motor. I've already reach about half of limit and I'm expecting growing in all three dimensions little bit, which will just fit. Now it has steering, rear diferential conecting to fake motor and I am planning to make opening doors, bonnets and most ambitous - folding roof. I also have some ideas, how to shape front end, but very unclear idea, how to make the rest of it. I'm no sure, if I could make it with suspension, it would be nice, but I haven't all needed parts, and I also not sure, how I could make it in such a tiny space. Front axle would be easier, I just need one 42021 set to have all parts to make it. Rear axle would be more challenging. So here is first sketch of it: This sketch just make final proportions of wheelbase, width and approximate position of motor, if it'll be with suspension, I'll have to rebuild it completely. B - model will be with simillar functions, but differently shaped. I wonder, how I'll manage it, please, stay with me

    30: 10 1: 6 19: 4 20: 3 11: 2 34:1 Fantastic contest, you almost should use coinflip in voting and still choose all great builds.
  14. muffinbrick
    Looking great so far! I like this small scale, it shows, that is possible to make nice models without millions of parts.
  15. muffinbrick
    This one looks to be very interesting and different. Looking forward to your next progress

    Nice coincidence - i just bought my first pneumatic set this monday

    Beautiful pair of classic cars

    Very nice build, I like, how efectively you use all those new panels for shaping.

    I have the same problem. I have already updated driver of my graphic card, now my version of OpenGL is 3.3 Besides this it looks like everything works fine.

    Nice :) Will you make building instructions? :D
  22. muffinbrick
    Nice idea! I'm proud owner of 42039 mainly because of all those C-models, I've seen on EB, so it'll be great to have them all in one place. Links in first post would be even better, hopefully it's just matter of time.

    Well, it WAS tought competition. There was many great entries and only 6 to vote for. So it was very hard for everyone choose top six and there was many factors, which influenced final decision. For me, your A-model is flowless, very nice and clever use of parts, nice apearance and functions in that small scale. On the other hand, B-model was little tricky and besides you made great job with it, it lacks something to make it perfect model. In top 10 there are many great A-models, but those B-models are almost equal, some of them maybe even better, then A. I think its has something with models, which you choose to build. Some of those combinations are easier to build, some of them are more complicated. Maybe, if you would made more obvious decision to made tractor for B-model, you could got more from it because of parts, you had from A-model. So I think, that winners don't just have great building skills, but they also have great skill to decide what to build to make it as good as possible.

    This deserves HOF and pro tag for sure! Amazing build, amazing functions, amazing appearance

    Great competition, congratulation to winners and thanx to all contesters, voters and mainly Jim for making this one realy challenging.
