[TC5] 9394 C-Model Helicopter
jono rocky posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
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 -
[HELP] Crab Mechanism for Hooklift
Balrog posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
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! -
[C-MODEL] 42008 MOD 8052 Container Truck
MrTekneex posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
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;) -
8051 C-model Easter Egg?
Cumulonimbus posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
While watching the for the new Digital Building Instructions, I noticed an unfamiliar motorbike in the background. (I've added some images as attachment, does that work?).It looks like a café racer based on the 8051 set, but as far as I can work out, it has some additional parts. The top half of the motor for example appears to be brick-build with parts not included in the set, so it's not a true C-model. I would love to build it but can't figure out the frame and the mounting of the handle bars. Any ideas? -
[C-MODEL] 42004 Buggy
imvanya posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, it's actually my first post in this forum as I mostly build digitally in LDD and unfortunately Technic and LDD don't go to well together. However, I've recently come across an announcement about a competition held at Rebrickable. Each contestant should build his own alternative model of one of five sets. Incidentally I happened to own one - a 42004 Mini Backhoe. So I got right to building, and even though my first attempt was a failure, the second one turned out pretty well. I am sorry about using LDD screenshots, I don't have a camera, but what I do have is an .lxf of my MOC Comments are welcome) -
I had two weeks of holiday and took set 9396 with me to have some relaxing lego building. I wanted to build a C-model for 9396 and I think it worked out quite nice for the idea that I had. It features: - Cyclic control with one direction for each joystick and seat. These pilots need to cooperate! Frontseat controls forward/backward movement. Backseat controls left/right movement - Working landing gear, controlled by the black 20 tooth gear and one sLA. - Fuel probe in front for aerial refueling - One part that isn't actually from set 9396. I think it's a pitty this set doesn't come with one or two universal joints. Pictures: Building a C-model is interesting and difficult at the same time. As you can see I tried to use some parts in different ways than on the A and B models. The main rotor is quite a heavy part, and the control needed to be sturdy, so that it wouldn't fall over or something. For this I used as much blue friction pins, and an extra link as support. To stop it's movement and hitting the helicopter I used some towballs with pin. (see picture below) Attaching the front wheel was a puzzle as well, there wasnt much room with the link to the front joystick. With all the moving beams underneath it is quite packed, but movement is smooth. Thanks for reading, comments are welcome. All pictures on my brickshelf. (once moderated)
