    [MOC] Lego Douglas DC-9 WIP

    Redrado replied to Redrado's topic in Special LEGO Themes

    Thanks! Unfortunately by the way it is designed there is not enough space, but the gear is made in such a way that it's easy to removed and fill the gap (especially in the nose gear).

    [MOC] Lego Douglas DC-9 WIP

    Redrado replied to Redrado's topic in Special LEGO Themes

    Some updates!

    Hello all! I present to you the first preview of my Douglas DC-9 aircraft I'm currently working on. As of now, I only have the nose section completed, as shown in the image. It's not perfect, since the cockpit windos sit a little too high, but still very happy with it. As of now, I'm building it in white but it will most likely wear the older Iberia livery (not the red and orange one, but the even older one with the red cheatline). The techniques used are not out of this world, mostly snots and angled bricks. Please, let me know if you have any suggestion or feedback!

    [MOC] 0-10-0T Coal shunting steam engine "La Gorda"

    Redrado replied to Ferro-Friki's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    All I can say is amazing work, as usual!!! Totally resembles the original and is full of very well executed details.

    Thanks! The rear bogie can hold a 9V motor or Power Funcions one (since they are the same size) with some easy modifications. I already have it made in studio, will make sure to publish it later on.

    I was not too happy with the current bogies of the duck, so I redesigned them. This allows me to enlarge the white part towards the bogie, just as the real thing. Also did some minor adjustments to the first coach.

    Added the stickers to the built front section, and also did a few more renders (where you can see a few updates). Also, since the train is the same, did Adif's track and infrastructure testing train "Séneca". Had to make some changes to adapt it to the livery.

    Thanks! And just as Ferro-Friki, I am not entitled to any Spanish LEGO club yet, but once I have something good to show off maybe I will consider it.

    Nice! It’s great to see even more Spanish train creators over here (we’re now 3 active people hehe). It’s simple yet it has some details and it resembles the real thing, which is great. Looks fairly nice for a first try. I would try lowering the train, making it closer to the ground though. I personally like building 7 studs wide (if you want to look through some of my posts like the S102 and S114), as it allows a better and more elaborated constructions without being too large. The issue with 7 wide is that the uneven numbers are harder to build, and have some relatively weirder pieces available. Still, I think it enables the best proportions.

    Thanks! We had had a boom of Spanish trains here already, but we indeed need even more. The tile is connected to a 1x1 brick with studs on two adjacent sides, and since the studs are hollow the tile fits right in the middle perfectly. That brick also holds the light gray 2x3 tile with the other stud.

    I have built it in real bricks! Had to order the hinges in gray due to availability, but will order them in dark gray. The build of the nose was rather complex but it all worked well, and the train is stable enough. As of now I just have the front section, but I might build the rest. (PD: it’s not built in Lego bricks, but alternative ones as I had an issue with my BL order and also wanted to try them)

    [WIP] Gondol-Rail

    Redrado replied to Electricsteam's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    What an Interesting idea. Maybe you could build all this system underneath the tracks (extending the base of the "train" itself). This would not only make it cleaner but you could extend this to make some sort of attraction for an amusement park.

    Hi everyone! This is my recreation of the Alstom Pendolino ETR600. It's the evolution of the Italian version made by Fiat. The one operated by Renfe is partly made by the Spanish manufacturer CAF too, just like the older version. These trains have four coaches and are designed to have a maximum operational speed of 250 km/h, making "avant" (long distance semi high speed) services in Spain. As many might be aware, the train also operates in Italy, Switzerland and Poland for their respective national operators, with some variations such as the number of coaches. As of the MOC, it's a 7 studs wide model. The nose has some pretty interesting techniques with hinges and brackets, since its structure is made of 6 studs in order to fit well in the roof (as the train has inclined sides). Then, with the help of many hinges the transition is pretty smooth. Also in the nosetip, the help of curved slopes managed to give it its characteristic shape. Note that for the side cockpit windows I had to use custom stickers since there wasn't a way to make it work sadly. I think the doors might have turned too wide, but haven't found a way to make them nicely (since two studs seem too small). Let me know how to improve that!

    Oh my GOD! What a wonderful recreation of the lovely 450. Everything is simply on point. The details are outstanding, the shape is perfect, simply great!

    Slightly modified again the nose of the 102! This time is the underside of the nose, since before it felt like way too thick, and now made it thinner and more realistic. Hoping to build it pretty soon...
