Lancia Stratos HF
Pingubricks posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello everyone! Following the Delta Integrale I present you my Lancia Stratos HF! This model features opening doors, as well as massive opening front and rear shells with the most detailled engine bay I've ever made! Despite everything being openable, it's surprisingly sturdy with only its rear spoiler and A-pillars being the weak spots. Minor details include a spare tire at the front, a fire extinguisher between the seats and of course all 3 pedals in he drivers footwell. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for looking! -
MOC Lancia Stratos - an alternate build of 42056
Pleasedontspammebro posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've recently returned to LEGO, thanks in no small part to being given the 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS set as a birthday gift by my excellent friends. It was amazing to see how Technics sets have progressed since my childhood but was very dissapointed to find that there were no B model in the instructions. In my early days B models taught me that it was OK to pull apart a build and make something new and this was more than half the fun. Well there was nothing else for it but to make my own and here it is! The Lancia Stratos was an impressive, almost otherworldy machine that loomed large through my childhood and it seemed a fine choice for the orange parts of 42056. The wheels are the right diameter but a lot wider so they take up a lot more room inboard than the real thing and have what you might call a cheeky amount of overlap on the guards but I reckon it works here. I've kept the wheel base and track to scale. Everything opens and shuts like the original and there's a working 5 speed "H" pattern shift gearbox driving the transverse V6 in the back. You can add an additional part to activate reverse gear but this is not neccesary if you want to stay within the parts list of 42056. There are instructions available and the first chapter, the gearbox, is free so that you can see if you can work with them or not. They're available here: INSTRUCTIONS You'll find some unusual choices in terms of parts and placement but remember that this is an alternate build and the bricks available are somewhat limited. Since this is a B model and all the parts are sourced from 42056 it was tricky to get the form and functions that I wanted without too many compromises but the details of the MOC are: Dimensions : Studs = 69 x 56 x 23 cm = 55 x 44.6 x 19 Weight = 2.02 kg Part count = 2197 - 5 speed "H" pattern gearbox with optional reverse - working fake transverse V6 engine - steering via HOG that moves the wheels and steering wheel - front and rear independent suspension - openable bonnet, boot and doors I hope you like it and I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time in this community, I never knew what an AFOL was until a couple of weeks ago and now it turns out I am one - it's a brave new world for me! -
[WIP] Lego RC Racing Car
jg711 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all, This is my first post of a MOC on Eurobricks. Now, it all started when i was searching on the internet, and i spotted a very nice car: (here is the URL) https://encrypted-tb...VhMuEUleUXyVfTQ But, this car wasnt very sophisticated, so i want to rebuild the car, but with some technology of a racing car. I saw piterx's Lancia Stratos, and i tought it would be a nice competitor for it. I am going to use the gear ratio 1nxtmonster uses in the fastest lego car ever. And i am going to use only one buggy motor. As soon as i worked out how to post pictures, i will post pictures. I already have the RTC system worked out, it was de- signed by Sariel. Its very small and, very important, light. If anyone has some good idea's for building the car, please post them. KInd regards, PS: I know Bricklink, so i have the ability to order parts.
