[HELP] 14 Studs Wide Vehicle Base
King Andy posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey there. I use to build small scale vehicles but I always wanted to build a large scale one, and finally decided to go ahead with that idea. However, I'm new with such a big scale and even before actually building something, I'm already stuck. I would like to know if could you help me building a solid base/ chassis for my vehicle. I already have searched on the web for a few ideas but i can't find anything, and the few large scale LEGO sets vehicles I own seem too basic on the bottom, so I would like to ask you if could you share pictures of large scale vehicles you might have built so I can take a few ideas from it. I'm looking for something like this MOC made by the MOCpages user Austin Nomorinfo, that allows a few bottom details, however this and the other vehicles he shared pictures of the bottom seem to be really confusing: (http://mocpages.com/moc.php/295567) Thanks for your help. -
Hi everybody! :) I'm new to the forum and wanted to share my latest MOC, and in doing so I hope to start a discussion on the set that I've designed and I'm sure that there will be some really interesting dialogue as a result of this. To get something out of the way (and quickly), this set is my very first Lego Idea and as of today it is live - please support it if you think it has merit as a potential Lego set! Monster Miner / Wheel Loader And now, some reflection on the process that led to this model and some thoughts about Lego in general! I'm almost 33 years old and have been mad about Lego for as long as I remember. I love to create things with Lego, and for about 25 years now it's always been Technic-style diggers and cranes, sometimes other construction vehicles, all with functioning gear trains and realistic movements. I'd say that this set I'm sharing here today is the culmination of between 25 and 30 years of Lego experimentation and prototyping. and I just feel that every aspect of this set has "clicked" (pardon the pun) and I'm so happy finally to be able to include a little bit of everything in one big, imposing set. My thinking on Lego today is that there are many sets which don't look very Lego-like (certainly in the MOC realm), and I'm confused by that. Why conceal the medium that makes Lego what it is? With this model I decided to embrace Lego as an educational childs toy (which is what it is, first and foremost), so instead of concealing all the studs and making this more of a replica and less of a toy, I have tried to retain the inherent Lego-ness and sturdy playability of the exterior whilst presenting an equally impressive and more grown-up sort of "model" that would appeal to teenagers and even adults. Basically, it's Lego city, Lego Technic, Lego Model Team etc. rolled into one. Whether that works or not... is up to everybody else! So what do you folks think? Must Lego sets be "niche" products if they are to succeed as merchandise, or is it possible to stretch things a little and cater for more than one market with just one set? To put it another way, I reckon this is the set that I wanted to find in the pages of the 1990s Lego catalogues, especially at the back, in the Model Team section. That's why I built it. Is it just me, or is there intrinsic appeal in this sort of set that straddles the fence delineating different Lego lines? Here are some more pics which may or may not influence your input!

[MOC] KOMATSU 895 forwarder
LegoMathijs posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like to show you my new MOC: KOMATSU 895 “The gentle giant” At this moment, the KOMATSU 895 is the biggest forwarder of KOMATSU Forest. This moc took me three months to complete, because it was a challenging build to get all the details and functions in this 1:25 scale model. In real, the 895 has several ingenious functions to load and transport a lot of trunks. The following functions are in this scale model: - Wheel suspension -Telescopic boom -Shovel blade -74-AWI-4v diesel engine - Cabin with door - In the cabin, an operators seat which can turn 360 degrees - Ladder for enter te cabin - Adjustable LoadFlex - Adjustable Flexgate I've choose the 1:25 scale because I want to build a forest layout for this forwarder and a KOMATSU harvester. The 1:25 scale is a challenge for a detailed build, but I think I managed it Pictures: 01_KOMATSU_895 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 02_KOMATSU_895 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 03_KOMATSU_895 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 08_KOMATSU_895_transporting_trunks_adjusted_LoadFlex by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr Adjustable LoadFlex 09_KOMATSU_895 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 10_KOMATSU_895_backside by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 12_KOMATSU_895_suitable_for_rugged_terrain by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr The forwarder is suitable for rugged terrain. 20__KOMATSU_895_74-AWI-4V_diesel_engine by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 74-AWI-4V diesel engine Picture which shows all functions: 25_KOMATSU_895_overview_functions by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr for more picture see my Flickr profile: https://www.flickr.c...157653524113986 Hope you like it -
Pleased to meet you all! I've been browsing for lego Technic information and MOCs for some time now. Think its about time I join in on the fun! I'm a computer scientist and electrical engineer from the states (though currently moving around a bit). I've been an avid fan of Lego since I was a kid since my whole family played with them as they were growing up. Back then, I'd play with old Lego City and Model team sets passed down from my brothers. By the time I was finishing college and started moving for work, I had become engrossed in cool Lego Technic creations and MOCs on the web. So as of now, my main Lego themes are Lego Technic and Model Team. I'm particularly into Technic models of cool vehicles and aircraft. You'll find me on the Technic forum a lot browsing MOCs. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to post my own soon. Apart form lego, in my spare time, I'm an avid photographer, gamer, Anime fan, and biker. Also, I should say special thanks to Lego designers like Sariel and Nico71. Without the information on their great sites, I prolly wouldn't have found this place so fast Thanks all.

Elefant heavy tank destroyer (RC)
Tommy Styrvoky posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Lego Elefant heavy tank destroyer (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I present my latest model, a 1/18 Elefant Heavy tank destroyer build on the chassis of my Tiger Porsche. I am quite proud of how this model turned out, as this is my second time building an Elefant, my first version build over a year ago, and it was oversized, and suffered from mechanical problems. This version retains all of the functions of the original, but with even more detail, and added functions. This model features suspended bogies on torsion bars for suspension, dual V6 engines with generators and running fans ( this layout is entirely different from the Tiger Porsche's), Led lights, gun traverse, gun elevation/depression, and gun recoil with a servo motor. if anyone is interested in the internals of the casemate and how they function, this video shows them in operation. https://flic.kr/p/s3zNpc old version Lego Elefant 1/15 (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr Lego Elefant heavy tank destroyer (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr as you can see from this photo most of the weight is distributed over the last torsion bar, so this causes the suspension to sink.

Giant Lego Harley Davidson - Model Team/Technic
Kierna posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, Eurobricks Technic, Mindstorms and Model Team! I have been without internet for some time, and just logged into Eurobricks again. I cannot embed an image, so here is the image location on postimage org: I am Kieran Chamberlain, and I present to you a rendering of a Harley Davidson custom designed using LDD that I will be building soon. It is my first LDD to POVRAY rendering, and uses the default render settings. The tyres in the render are for representation only, the real model will have tyres synthesized from pnuematic tubing, etc. 98% complete, It comprises a heady 3000+ parts at 65cm length, with the following functional features: -45 degree single cam V-twin engine with two pushrod operated valves per cylinder -Front and rear brakes with hand and foot controls -Springer front suspension -Foot gearshifter with nuetral and first gear -9v motor in gearbox, battery pack disguised as oil tank -Steering Enjoy! -
[MOC] Skoda 130 RS - Monte Carlo 1977
EUOfficer posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Originally created for Model Team Contest (September 2014) but finished later. It is more model of a real car than a toy. Functions: doors and hoods opening, steering, rear wheel suspension; Scale: approx. 1:14 https://www.flickr.c...57647832175728/ -
Fasterthanlight's LEGO MOCs Thread
fasterthanlight posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey there. I figured I'd start a new topic to document my current LEGO projects. For the time being this will all be LDD designs I've created, as I wait for some extra cash to spend on bricklink. 1. Scania Rotator Tow Truck Parts Count: 4400 Progress: 90% Complete Features: - Drive (RC) - Steer (RC) - Air Compressor (RC) - Outriggers deploy in/out (pneumatic RC) - Outriggers lift up/down (Pneumatic RC) - Towbar deploy in/out (pneumatic RC) - Towbar lift up/down (Pneumatic RC) - Boom rotate (RC) - Boom lift (RC) - Boom Extend - Winch 1 (RC) - Winch 2 (RC) - Battery Set switch (RC) You'll notice this truck has more than 8 functions. In total it has 7 PF IR Receivers. First IR Receiver controls the battery back switch, which is a PF Medium motor and two polarity switches that will turn on either battery back 2 (with 3 receivers) or battery pack 3 (With the other 3 receivers) This way I can split the functionality of the truck into two sets: - Drive - Steer - Towbar - Outriggers and - Boom lift - Boom rotate - Boom extend - Winch 1 - Winch 2 You'll notice I also took a lot of inspiration for the design of the cab from Efferman's doctor brick community project of the scania flat bed. 2. Firemen Movers Freightliner Moving Truck - I work for them, its a Toronto-based moving company owned and operated by firefighters Parts Count: 3200 Progress: 65% Complete Features: - Drive - Steer - Custom stickers - Pneumatic Powered tail gate (incomplete, working on the trigonometry of it) - Removable top with fully designed interior, including equipment 3. OshKosh Tactical Firefighting Truck Parts Count: 5800 Progress: 95% Complete Features: - 8x8x8 (8 Driven wheels, 8 Steered wheels) - Independent suspension - Bumper Nozzle rotate and elevation - Roof Nozzle rotate and elevation - Water tank - Water pump - 3rd Party Tires -
Advice for model team creation?
Good old Lego builder posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I' m considering building this Dutch so called 'standaard streekbus' bus. I'm going to build it classic 12 studs wide, to fit with some other builds. Now, maybe this is a faux-pas or not done, but I'm asking your advice anyway. I can't get my head around the front. The bumper part. I have mainly old bricks, so maybe there are parts I don't know I could use for this. I want to create al little offset in that bumper, but I just do not see how to create that. Any advice? At the image it is the part slightly sticking out above the grey part of the bumper.... It mainly the corners I just can't envision..... http://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DVM_1694_Hoogeveen.jpg -
[MT] Skoda 130 RS
EUOfficer posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi there, I would like to share my idea to the Model Team competition entry: Skoda 130 RS 14x32 16x34 studs, no steering function, opening doors and hoods, Rallye Monte Carlo colour scheme (white, red mudstopers and bumpers, blue stripes on doors and on the roof) Unfortunately I need help. Which program should I use to design? An official LTD LDD or some advanced digital designer. Hope you like the idea, because there is nothing more to be presented at the moment. -
[MT] Lotus Esprit
Jeroen Ottens posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, Work in progress for the next competition. No steering! But it will get another function with the wheels (is the plan). Add1: Jumper plates are for sissies... Add2: No stickers used... -
Hello, let me present to you my entry to Model Team contest. It is a rat rod derived from 1930 something Ford. Size of the model is 14 x 27 studs (edit: including wheels), it has functional hot rod drag-link steering connected with steering wheel, openable doors on driver's side (I have not enough hinges to make it on both sides :) and V8 show engine. pirate theme on passenger doors :) spartan interior, fire extinguisher is a must in such cars... this was the biggest challenge and my main motivation for this MOC. To make a compact and most realistic steering system and fit it into small car. It is quite steep but otherwise it works very well. Thanks for watching, and feel free to put some comments below!

[MT] Experimental Agricultural Equipment
JGW3000 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've been playing around with this for some time, in LDD only so far. Borrowed some ideas off of prior LEGO sets. It is an experimental agricultural soil treatment machine, designed to produce steam on-board, and then inject it into the soil, while tilling. Similar devices are available commercially in Germany and Italy, but so far none of them are suitable for US agricultural purposes. This one has propane fuel tanks on the tractor, and a hose reel to connect to water tankers off to the side. We were going to build something similar, but then the whole concept got tossed in favor of an autonomous 4-wheeled platform, with no driver, just RC control. For the MT contest, I'll modify and add brick built details to the tractor and finish off the trailer. Functions will include HOG steering, driven PTO connected to the tiller, which can raise and lower. Since PF are not allowed, the steam generator will be non-functional Right now its at 75 x 17 studs, so will need some work to get to the correct size. I'd appreciate any feed back as to suitability to mod to MT standards, or should I work on something else? -
EDIT: MY SUPERCAR IS NOW ON LEGO CUUSOO WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS. SEE NEW PICTURES HERE: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/61930 Every spring I have a fever for a sports car, so now I created one of my own. May I introduce the Supercar Mocman Arrow Evolution 1.0 Black Edition featured with lambo doors and V12 engine. There's also steering in steering wheel and in rear fog light. The body is based on monocoque structure and the bottom is all flat. The features which I really like are the aggresive reverse rake (can be seen in the side profile picture) which gives the rear wheels good grip :). And also the rear diffusors and curved bricks between rear lights look pretty good in my opinion. All forms were created by using bricks which adds sort of "retro" feeling on it, so I wanted to leave some studs visible. The design is based on supercars from 80'ies to the 2010's with some influence of race cars. The car is 34 studs long (27cm) and 12 studs wide. Hope you like and all comments are welcomed. Thank you. -
[MOC] Peterbilt 1978 and Formula 1
Karimix posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Here's my Peterbilt MOC with a Formula 1. There's about 800 parts in the truck, lenght 0,5m, weight 1kg. No steering hence I had no part for that, however it is easy to modify when I get some more parts. The engine is CAT Turbo Diesel. I took some ideas from set 5580 but other than that it's all my own desing. The Formula has steering and a pull back motor. It's a big rig! Thanks for watching. -
My very first Lego Cuusoo project got just published! Ed Roth´s Mysterion Show Rod http://lego.cuusoo.c...deas/view/58699 Please give me some feedback and comments. I will tell you more. And please go to see and click the "Support"! :) ************************************************** Here's some details about making of the "Mysterion". I have tried to learn new techniques. The frame with holes is 3-wide while the front section is 5-wide. The body is 7-wide but the interior is 4-wide and the bubble is 6-wide. There's also some SNOT design, for example the mismatching headlights, V8-engines, side panels, rear lights and top hinges. And as in the many recent creations there's no visible studs. It is also kind of "modular" as seen in the picture. This was fun to build and The Mysterion is also so far my most advanced creation. Hope you like it! :) *********************************************** Additional pictures of the real car.
