    This is the smallest C-Model I've built to date. It's a futuristic snow mobile made with parts from the 42032 Compact Tracked Loader. There height of the rear suspension is adjustable and it has a small 4 cylinder engine in the rear. Here are some pictures: A couple of other pictures: http://www.busterhaus.com/2015/06/42032-c-model.html

    Hello Eurobrickers!!! This is my C-Model of 42008 Service truck General specifications: - 1210 pieces - Size: 35x13x17 cm - Weight: 1,18 Kg - Time for design & construction: ≈ 1 month Manual functions: - HOG steering - Crane rotation - Openable doors - Winch - Openable side walls Gearbox for operating motorized functions: - Crane raising - Outriggers - Tilting bed - Pump compressor Pneumatic functions: - Second axle wheel lift - Opening arm Little description: Initially I thought of doing a completely different front, but in the end I preferred to use the one of the main model (with minor modifications). This allowed me to save beams and axles, the latter used to implement other functions. A big problem has been to design the rotation of the crane, not so much for the system, but for the arrangement in the cabin (under the seats is quite intricate because of HOG, crane rotation and stabilizer functions). Some pics: Outriggers Crane Back View Leftover parts Hope You like it!!! Thanks again for your support! Youtube Video:

    In anticipation of the Technic crawler crane which will be released in 2015 by Lego, here is an alternate model for the 42038 set. It's the first MOC I've built using tracks, and I quite enjoyed the process. It has 3 functions (rotating superstructure, tilting boom and hook/string) and a bogey suspension. There are a few more pictures in this blog entry. * * * Update: Instructions are now available.

    I use only parts from lego 42029, since I only have this set at the time.It might not be perfect, but with limited parts this is the best I can made out of it. Check out the video here: If you interested to build one I got a simple photo instruction at link below: http://www.yoshinydesign.blogspot.com/2015/01/lego-technic-42029-c-model-jeep-i-use.html It is an easy modification, it has the same chassis as A-model but shortened. same gearing mechanism as well, but back tipping mechanism was not use.

    TECHNIC C-MODEL CONTEST - RESULTS Lots of people like building C-Models. Working with a limited set of parts brings out the creativity. This resulted in 46 contestants participating in this contest. A lot of cool and original entries, so as usual the voting proved to be hard. Except for the 1st place, that much is clear! Here are the results of the Eurobricks Jury! 1st Wheeled Excavator by TGBDZ Entry Topic - Discussion Topic Our new Latvian member TGBDZ came, saw and conquered! What a way to join the forum. He turned the otherwise mediocre (debatable) 8071 Bucket Truck into a great looking excavator, with lots of functions! 2nd The Dawnbreaker by MajklSpajkl Entry Topic - Discussion Topic From the moment MajklSpajkl posted his Dawn Breaker, it was clear that his entry would end up on the podium. He only had one problem...TGBDZ. Great work nonetheless! 3rd Hybrid Rocket Off-Roader by Doc_Brown Entry Topic - Discussion Topic Oops, he did it again! After a gold and silver medal, Doc_Brown is the first to collect (all) three medals. Maybe it's time to ban Doc. Traveling back and forth to the future seems like cheating Congratulations to all winners and thanks to everyone for joining this great contest I will contact the winners via PM to handle their prizes.

    Hello everyone, this is my C-model for set 9393. It was created for [TC5] Technic C-Model Contest. I've used 343 parts out of 362 (including spare parts). It is a pickup truck with dump cargo bed with V4 engine under the hood. There were high demands from the client (my 4 years old son) on the functionality. Features: HOG + steering wheel (working simultaneously) opening doors (simple "lock" - half of the axle 4 fits in the door case - a small force has to be applied) opening hood (simple "lock" - beam 2x4 is locked by cross block 1x3 - a small force has to be applied) opening cargo bed soft chassis to simulate independent suspension 2nd HOG for dumping cargo bed and/or rotating axle for attachable accessories (disable dumping by shifting gear 8 aside from the worm gear) large attachable winch special "parking feature" for overcrowded cities :-) HOG + steering wheel, doors, hood and cargo bed opening Soft chassis Dumping cargo bed Attachable accessories And finally - smart parking :-) additional info on my web pages: http://lego.vanecek....del=9393-pickup pet

    My build for the contest uses sets #8068 and #42020, which have 408 and 145 pieces respectively, for a total of 553 pieces. I used 490 on the ship and 14 on the stand. Leaving 34 and 29 pieces unused. The Leftovers by CleverNiftyDude, on Flickr Major pin and axle shortage with these two sets. VTOL Heli-plane by CleverNiftyDude, on Flickr The stand,...barely stands, but I was able to get some cool banking shots,... as it slowly fell over. VTOL with Pilot by CleverNiftyDude, on Flickr Just happen to have a matching Technic Fig for scale,..Nice! Unfortunately my entry post will be pilot-less, as he is not part of either set. VTOL Cockpit by CleverNiftyDude, on Flickr A close-up of the pit, with assorted NF controls and interface. VTOL Top view by CleverNiftyDude, on Flickr Functions incude: Manual 90 deg. swivel of wings/props/landing wheels Manual tail fin rotation HOG prop spin. HOG Ratcheted rescue basket I think I'm going to try to get a few more photos before I enter it. Cheers.

    Since C-model contest began I was thinking about building something BIG but I wasn't sure if I finish it in time. So I've built this little pull-back trike to get "plan B" and then immediatelly began working on my second alternative model out of set 9394. I wanted to be the first who rebuilds this jet plane into boat but izorn was bit faster... So my alternate is hovercraft. Its main feature is quite unique steering. It turns just pair of rudders instead of whole propeller as you can see among official hovercraft models. This is list of all functions: three wheels chassis front axle drives propeller rear axle "HOG" steering that also turns pair of rudders opening windscreen steering wheel and adjustable seat in cab This is mechanism inside - green is steering and red is drive for propeller 41 left over parts And there are few pictures from building process bellow: I began with prototype of rear axle to check steering performance. Then I built the most difficult part of model - crossing of drive and steering axles. And this was first prototype of model. More pictures

    Hi there, This is my first post on Eurobricks, and my modest participation to TC5. I worked with the 8047 "Compact Excavator" from 2009: This set was my first lego technic after my dark age (I could not resist when I saw it in the supermarket). It is rather small (252 parts), but nicely packed with functions for its size. The original B-model (a compact log-loader) is rather cool as well, and uses 229 parts. Building a C-model for this set was therefore my personal dedication to this wonderful set. Here it goes, a snow groomer: Design: I tried to provide as much detail as I could. The blade is full thanks to the (only) two panels from the original set. We also have a front light and a beacon on top. There is a bit of blue inside the cabin to evoke some seats, but no more there, as the space is occupied by the lifting mechanism of the blade. The two exhaust pipes are (maybe) oversized, but this was a necessity for a good playability. Functions: There are three: Lift of blade (left exhaust pipe, worm gear, 24t crown, lift arms) Lift of tiller (right exhaust pipe, worm gear, 8t, lift arm) Working tiller, driven by the caterpillars (12t-12t, 2 times). In addition, the blade is manually steerable (pin with friction). Some view to see the mechanisms: And here is how the thing works: In blue is the lifting of the front blade, in green the lifting of the tiller, and in red the rotation of the tiller. Recycling of parts: The model uses 213 parts, that is a bit less than the original B-model. But well, this is a C-model :) We have three real functions, which is actually better than the A-model! Gears are all reused apart from the turntable (which was not used as a gear in the A-model anyway), and the 20t with peghole. Four 16t are here not used as gears (the ones on the tiller), but the two 12t double-bevel, which were used as knobs for moving the arm on the A-model, are here functional and part of the transmission of the tiller. That's it... any comment welcome. I can post more pictures if needed (although there is not much more to show I'm afraid :D). Instructions are available at rebrickable (Alter-Lego is my pseudo on rebrickable, login was already taken on Eurobricks).

    Don't MOC too much, but found I have set eligible for TC5 contest. So gave it a try. Here is what I came up with on a first try - Rat Rod. No specific copy, just basic similarities. Functions: 1. independent fron suspension 2. drag type rear suspension 3. steering controlled from driver place 4. working powerful V8 inline 4-cylinder fake engine, connected to rear wheels 5. openable suicide type doors Still, quite a lot of (good) spare parts left, but I'm tight on some very basic pins.

    Hi! I would like to present you my TC5 competition entry: I named her The Dawnbreaker She's built out of 9392 Quad Bike and 42026 Black Champion Racer. She features independant front axle and dragged rear axle suspension, RWD by a pull-back motor, chain driven single cylinder fake engine, automatic return-to-centre steering provided by a huge caster angle (steering is done by the steering wheel in the cab) and manualy adjustable rear wing. I used all the stickers from 42026, which are the best looking stickers LEGO ever made, and none from 9392. Some more photos... I have a leftover of 54 from 343 pieces including spare parts (13 of those are chain links). I am really satisfied how it turned out and I think there won't be any more changes to it. I hope you like it as much as I do. I thank you in advance for your comment and constructive criticism. Building instructions available on rebrickable.com, enjoy Best regards, Miha

    G'day. This is my entry to the Technic C-model contest. I borrowed my sons lego set and created this helicopter loosely based on the Apache helicopter. I used the technic set 9394 Jet Plane 499 pcs, http://brickset.com/...394-1/Jet-Plane. The biggest challenge was to make it different to other helicopters and with limited pieces, so I came up with the idea of a handle and trigger that the faster you pulled the trigger (lever) the faster the rotor would spin but still be able to be free spun. Then have removable weapons and be sturdy enough for kids. 4 days of play from 3 boys it still works. Free Rotating rotor blades. Removable swivel undercarriage gun. Removable rocket/missile wing store pylons. Retractable front main wheels. Retractable handle for one handed use to lever to spin main rotor blades. Geared and sprung lever to spin main rotor blades. Movable pilotage system. ​9394 C Model Helicopter by jono.rocky, on Flickr 9394 C Model Helicopter by jono.rocky, on Flickr 9394 C Model Helicopter by jono.rocky, on Flickr 9394 C Model Helicopter by jono.rocky, on Flickr 9394 Left over pieces by jono.rocky, on Flickr

    For the C-model contest I figured I'd have a shot at doing something with 8049, as of all the sets I have in the parts range, this is one of the few with a useable number of the same wheel type (amongst other reasons). This is just a quick sketch built in LDD, a Logging Loader. Its functions are: Pneumatic lifting of the two-stage crane arm Worm screw operated claw Crane rotation via the light on the cabin roof Two-stage steering via the exhaust stack - this articulates the body of the vehicle while simultaneously steering a rack-and-pinion mechanism on the middle axle, so all three axles are at a different angle Pendular suspension on the rear axle Working with pneumatics in LDD is a bit of a pain, to put it lightly. I'm not sure about the positioning of those elements as yet on the crane arm, but adjusting them will be easy enough when I build it with bricks. It uses about 400 parts at a rough guess, the pneumatics parts here are made of multiple parts so distort the true part count.

    Hi, Recently, I bought a 9393 Tractor set from a toy store near me, and I liked both the a-model and b-model very much. They have a lot of playability for a relatively small number of parts, and a nice looking color scheme. Plus, it's my highest part count set below 600, so I decided to build something out of it. At first I researched about vehicles with different sized front and rear tires to see what I can build, but in the end I decided to go with something original. Here is the first draft of what I am building: It's an off-road racer that tilts when cornering in order to change its center of gravity. Currently only the til/steer mechanism is in place, but the playability in this state is promising :) Currently I am thinking of using only 9393, but I may opt to choose one of the following sets and use parts from it for additional features/aesthetics. 42027: For the pullback motor and green parts, but I'm not sure I can use the pullback motor because of my weird rear axle configuration. 42021: For the suspension parts, but we'll see how it turns out. 42001: For the rubber bands and orange parts.

    I made a C-Model out of the Customized Pickup Truck set. The details are posted here. I will add a video this weekend. Video now available.

    Hi fellow addicts. A word beforehand, if I call the mechanism wrong, please correct me. I am currently still developing some kind of hooklift container truck as a C-model of 42009. This is more challenging than I thought. At first I had the idea of building a hooklift mechanism as it is common on trucks. But what I came up with was either too unstable or too bulky. So I was thinking about this a lot, then laid it aside for a while. Now I am back at it and have a new idea. I saw some other container trucks, the work with a simple hoist mechanism, but that seems somewhat inapropriate and I will only consider this as last resort. And then I came up with a idea of some kind of a boom that can extend. My idea was, that the "platform" can extend by half and the "hook" travels the hole length so the tipped platform can take on the containers. Still super complicated and probably impossible with the given parts. Now I have this boom idea tha is basically a boom like on the crane, but instead of extending, I have a crab going the whole length. Containers will be put off and on through tilting the boom and the traveling crab. I have a prototype, but before continuing, I wanted to ask if someone has a brilliant idea to make the crab more stable or rigid. As it is now, it will probably fail under load. Here is a picture of the boom center: The boom itself will be wider later to provide good travel for the container and to secure the crab to the sides. And here is the prototype crab: The wheels roll on the side liftarms of the boom. The 32L axle drives the wormgear, which then lets the crab travel via the gear racks of the boom. I would have shown this combined, but LDD wouldn't let me. The question is: How can I improve the crab to be more stable? Also there is a height difference. So if the 32L axle would rest in the black 3L pin with center pinhole, that would be awesome. I know the height difference could be solved by driving a 8T gear through the worm gear which sits on the same axle with a 12T double bevel gear which drives the gear racks. Getting the 32L axle to the same level as the pinholes of the boom would be brilliant. Also, here is the LDD file! Thanks in advance for all the help!

    Hello! I noticed that with the pieces of the set 42008 is almost possible to build the fantastic 8052 container truck. After some changes here is the final result. I also added the tilting of the cab and some aesthetic side. I hope you like it! See you soon with an "original" c-model;)
