Hi, Here you can track how my Lego Technic journey is going on. I started as a basic fan in 2016 getting a 42046 as my first LEGO set. Then a 42031 and 42037 and the dark ages were gone! Before the dark ages I've been making B and C models from ATCO bricks as in Bulgaria LEGO was rare. 20+ years after my first alt-builds I've designed* about 50 alternate LEGO builds, started a YT channel to share them with the world, started a bricksafe gallery and sometimes even sell some instructions too. The pandemic "inspired" me to finally try and develop a big MOC, and you can see the topic here and the results below: /42106 Big Rig/. + 42103 Trailer for it. Then decided not to create a new topic for each MOC. The second huge MOC project was 42039B model SUV turning into a pickup /and motorizing it/. After that I bought the 42101 and 42102 sets and had great fun with them. I've seen the way KeepOnBricking was doing MOCs and started to imitate his process - and it caught on. 42101 was/is a great set for MOC-ing as it has a low parts count, and combined with 42102 gave me lots of ideas that you can see below. After the small MOCs I've dabbled again with 42106 - as you'll see - a VW camper van that took 2 months and was meant as a "commissioned" gift for a man in Bulgaria. Maybe someday he'll receive it from me. We'll see. a very inspired rendition of the red drag car from 42098 and a big upgrade after it untill it became the 42093's Corvette hot-rod B-model's cousin. V6-V8, same frames, same spacing and steering - why not! End of story time! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So far my mocs include c-models out of the following Lego Technic sets: 42039 (1), 42046 (1), 42061 (1), 42090 (3), 42090+42091 (1), 42101 (7), 42102 (2), 42101+42102(2), 42103 (2), 42104 (1), 42106 (5), 42116 (13), 42117 (1), 42133 (8) and continue forward. 42101 mocs look like this: 42116 mocs look like this: 42133 mocs kinda look like this: 42106 Stunt show takes a special place in my MOC days. I've done 5 alt builds out of it, some adjacent, some not. ================================ GTS is my old forum name and my nickname in Bulgarian is Kostq /pronounced Kost-ya/. So you don't get confused by the profiles. *designing can also mean heavily borrowing mechanisms and building techniques from other fellow MOCers. I buy all the stuff I've borrowed from, I love supporting the people and where possible - quote the OG creator too.

This is my first SoNE Moc, so C & C welcome, though it's not my first Star Wars Moc. ------ Part 1: Windu (Short for Windusky) walked into General Crux's office, clad in new armor. Windusky: "Reporting for Special Operations duty, General Crux." Gen. Crux: "Ah yes, i've been watching your skills as a trooper, and so i've been waiting for you. I have your assignment ready." "What is it?" "We've received reports of a crime syndicate who are selling spices and stealing from one of our bases on Tatooine. I need you do go down there and sneak into their base, and blow it to kingdom come." "Here's a picture of the bomb you'll be using." "Where will i be picking this bomb up?" "From a client in Mos Ila that goes by the name Jzar. You'll know him when you see him." "Alright sir, when should i dispatch?" "ASAP." "Yes sir." "Oh, and Windu?" "Yes, General?" "Our missions don't exist to other stormtroopers. Speak of this to no one but High Generals." "Yes General Crux." Thanks for any Constructive Criticism. I would like for this build to be judged.

I'd like to receive one UoP credit for manufacturing [Trade and Law]. Mattiusxavier suggested that I build a MOC showing maple syrup being made, I thought it was a great idea (my family actually makes our own Maple Syrup every year) and after finishing some other builds was able to make this. The process of making Maple Syrup is pretty simple, in the later winter/early spring you tap Maple trees and hang buckets to collect their sap. Then that sap is gathered and heated to evaporate much of the water from the sap and make syrup. There is a full interior in the cabin. Sugaring season is always a pleasant time in Mitgardia: whole families work together to tap the Maple trees and then gather the sap and boil it to make the delicous syrup that is commonly used for flavoring. Any Comments/Criticism welcome

[TRIPLE] 7Ch IR Logging truck
Tech-nick posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Ok, here is my entry, got it finished this morning after all night build. My triple consist of truck, removable log crane and trailer. The truck and the crane work with remote PF. (except outriggers on crane are handled manually) The truck: The truck features forward/reverse (L-motor) and return to center steering by PF servo. In the truck are also located the cranes turntable and main boom motors (M&L). It uses maximum 500 parts, it was quite a challenge to do such large model with relativelly small part count. I used LDD trough all the build, so it shouldn't exceed the max part count. I learned a LOT on optimizing and utilizing special technic parts. I'm quite happy with appearance of it, and I like the cabin very much. All tho I had to tape few panels black cause I hadn't anough of them :( But I think you hardly notice :) The crane: The crane features main boom, second boom, and fully operational claw. They work remotely. (one channel not used) Motors are M. It has also manual outriggers. Crane also uses all 500 parts. The claw rotates using small turntable and claw closing action is fed trough it. The claw is synchronized so turning the claw won't affect much to closing action. The synchronization is done in the superstructure with system of gears and differential. In short, when the turning motor is driven, it also turns the the claw gears trough the stationary differential in opposite direction so the claw is almost unaffected (It was not possible to exactly match the gear ratios with small turntable). When claw motor is driven, is the differential turning and closing/opening the claw. Claw turning is not affected at all. I'm quite pleased with this brainchild. It could be used with any other application when turntable is causing undesired action. Below is the crane with out battery case, so the system is visible: (It's a poor picture, I don't know can you make any sense of it) The trailer: Nothing special there, other than it uses only 453 parts :) oh, and I'm also short of double angular beams in same color. All my Black and dark grey ones are in this triple. Finally, all working together: Short video clip: I think I will just copy this to entry topic. (Did it) Feel free to comment. -
[MOD] 8285 with trailer
ed-orange posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi everybody. I build another MOC in the last days and wanted to share the result with you. Is is nothing special, but I like it. The whole truck is exactly 100 cm long (trailer is 66 cm). The truck is motorized with power functions, it has one XL motor for driving and one M motor for steering. For a better steering I have attached a worm gear. It seems, that I only build log trucks :-) Enjoy the pictures and let me know, what you think...
