CRookie28 started following [WIP] 1968 Ford Mustang, Fine stepped truck bonnets - how do you build?, Fine stepped truck bonnets - how do you build? and and 4 others

Hi there, I'm looking to understand how people build fine graduated bonnets on trucks, seemingly at half a brick/unit difference to seemingly even finer, as the bonnet increases in size from front to windscreen. Has anyone experience of this or know how it is done? I can imagine it can be achieved using a modified 1 x 2 plate with a stud at half way along and then building on top of that but wondering how others have achieved this effect. A good example is this one, https://thelegocarblog.com/tag/kenworth/#jp-carousel-22818

Help sought in motorising steering on Mustang 10265
CRookie28 replied to CRookie28's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
thanks, I'll try it, think I'll still be left with the challenge of a motor trying to turn against the turned and locked front wheel or hoping the attachment of the motor to the floor is stronger than the tension in the white clutch gear. -
Help sought in motorising steering on Mustang 10265

Hi, anyone come across and how to overcome the issue of the motorised steering ripping itself apart? I've been following this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP-cngY6aDM and the section at 17.33m keeps popping out because of the build up tension in the steering because it can't turn any more. There's no white clutch gear in the guy's video design, I've tried it and doesn't make a difference. Grateful for any suggestions? Thanks. -

great work on the proportions -
[WIP] 1968 Ford Mustang
CRookie28 replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
here's definitely "a project" as they say in the classic car business! This is where I'm at with my '67 GT500, still masses of work through in terms of making structurally sound and mechanically getting it working. Has taken probably hundreds of re-builds to get the design proportions right including the roof and rear fastback shape (not on this) but I'm happy where they're at now. -
great work..

hey man, this is really awesome, why don't you put it forward on the Lego Ideas site?

[WIP] 1968 Ford Mustang
CRookie28 replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
sh**, tough lines... I'm loving the springs. I feel for you, any technic big car is hard to build, way harder than I gave credit to when I started out. Hopefully you learnt some stuff along the way. Is there another project? Here is some pics from my '67, the proportions, the bodywork, the internal structuring, the mechanics have taken a long time to get viable. Last time I had a go at her I learnt that my gearbox is probably built the back to front so that will need another entire rebuilt. Will easily be 3000+ pieces when done. -

hey, where did this project get to, what is the status? really keen to know, I have been working on a '67 Shelby GT500 on and off for a couple years now when time has allowed. Has been a mission of hundreds rebuilds to perfect things.. could probably talk about similar problems etc..
