[MOC] Honda NSX (NA1) – 42143 Alternate Build
Romanista replied to Romanista's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks, it's really amazing! i am thrilled to see such a great feedback! I don't know the exact count, I suppose 200-300 parts. Majority of them are useless system parts used for Ferrari headlights. Technic parts were almost fully utilized. Maybe it will sound too pathetic in relation to Lego But I agree with Bruno - it is about dedication, patience... and readiness to spend unlimited time for every aspect of the build. Anyway, I can't say that my build is masterpiece There are a lot of compromise and not optimal solutions because of parts limitation. -

Thanks for your kind words! Regarding the pop up headlights. This works with linkage system. I can't make the quality photo right now but maybe a little bit later I can share a clear design from Studio. In short words, I've tried to find right levers to connect angled headlights assembly with the starting point. Additionally, I've added a standard 90° stepper with rubber band to have clear on/off modes which are fixed. -

Thank you for the very positive feedback. I really appreciate it. PS - finally, I've decided to explore Studio software. It requires a lot of efforts, but there are a lot of opportunities (for endless re-designing process ). Maybe, the instruction will be available soon... -
42160 Audi RS Q e-tron - Mods and Improvements
Romanista replied to apachaihapachai's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's great improvement! To be fair, I am starting to get into Studio. Just for clarity about legal / illegal techniques and their application in Studio. Is it OK to connect system parts like 3794b with technic holes? No worries, it was easy to check Studio allows it. -

OMG, thank you, I'm proud to hear praise from you, Bruno. Steering angle is rather good, much better than Daytona has. However, I’ve just realized that it isn’t shown on my photos at all If you talk about efforts needed to steer, I would say the steering is average... Not only because of caster geometry. Big wide tires and 1:1 gears ratio for HoG (using knobs, zero bevels in the set) also impact the smoothness. Thanks for your kind works, gents! -

Gents, great thanks for your positive comments! Yep, during the process, I've done several prototypes of rear lights using system parts, but this variant looks more appropriate. Thanks, LvdH. Happy to hear praise from you, Alex, guru of alternative modelling. Your Supra is great! -

Hi forum, This is my first topic and first MOC shared with the LEGO community. The original Honda/Acura NSX is one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars ever made, boasting a high-revving V6 mounted in the middle, fantastic handling, and styling that still looks gorgeous even after 30 years. Functions & Features: Double wishbone suspension on all wheels Positive caster in the front HoG steering with moving steering wheel Ackermann steering geometry 4+R speed transmission gearbox DNR selector and speed shifter V6 fake engine Pop up headlights (linkage system) Opening hood, doors and trunk Imitation of glass engine cover (by flex hoses) Detailed interior Plus a handful of custom stickers for better appearance. I've done my best to replicate the appearance of the original model and tried to pay attention to every aspect. During the construction process, I’ve faced with several challenges: Personally, the biggest problem was a limited variety of parts in the Daytona set. On the one hand, the set owner has 3,778 parts in the inventory. Com'on... But it was so difficult to find appropriate solutions without bevel gears and common connectors. Original set also had a limited number of transparent system parts for doing realistic rear headlights. Additionally, from the beginning I decided to have a positive caster in the front. It increased the complexity of the chassis significantly. However, the final result looks fine for me – both appearance and sturdiness. Please share your comments about the build. But please don’t be too demanding – this is my first MOC which I am sharing... There is no instruction at the moment, since I have zero experience in BL Studio. But if your comments regarding this MOC will be positive, I may change my mind and will start to prepare it -
