Here is a Ferrari LMP1 Car I recently completed, built in the Model Team/Creator Expert style. It is based on this fictional Ferrari LMP1 Concept design by Oriol Folch Garcia. The model contains just over 1,000 parts and features many detachable sections and lots of internal detail. The front section is removable and reveals (non-functional) steering and suspension detailing, and an electric motor on the front axle. The cockpit cover detaches to reveal a racing seat, pedals, adjustable steering column, fire extinguisher, and a water bottle. The engine cover also detaches, revealing a removable V6 hybrid engine within a detailed engine bay. The model was fully designed in LDraw. Instructions available at www.bm-mocs.com.

Hi guys, I'm new here, and I want to present my newest MOC: Pierce Arrow XT "Tiller Truck" in colors of San Jose Fire Department A tiller truck, also known as a tractor-drawn aerial, tiller ladder, or hook-and-ladder truck, is a specialized turntable ladder mounted on a semi-trailer truck. Unlike a commercial semi, the trailer and tractor are permanently combined and special tools are required to separate them. It has two drivers, with separate steering wheels for front and rear wheels. One of the main features of the tiller-truck is its enhanced maneuverability. The independent steering of the front and back wheels allow the tiller to make much sharper turns which is particularly helpful on narrow streets and apartment complexes with mazelike roads. An additional feature of the tiller-truck is that its overall length, over 50 feet (15 m) for most models, allows for additional storage of tools and Equipment Some departments elect to use tiller-quints, which are tiller trucks that have the added feature of being fitted with an on-board water tank.[5] These are particularly useful for smaller departments that do not have enough personnel to staff both an engine company and a truck company. Real tiller truck responding: My Lego model has this functions: Hauler: - front axle steering "Hand of God" - movable engine pistons, wheel setup 6x4 - cab tilting - openable doors - lighting: 5x PF Lights, 6x Light brick 1x2 - (Lights & Sound) Ladder trailer: - wheels steering, (either with steering wheel in tillermans cab or through gearing on fifth wheel) - openable stowage compartments - sliding doors on tillerman`s cab - side outriggers - (hand operated) - ladder lifting - 2x linear actuator (hand operated) - ladder rotation - (hand operated) ,360° range - ladder boom (hand operated with string) - lighting: 5x PF Lights, Battery-Box, 1x PF Switch,+ 1x M-Motor & 2x PF Switch for flashing effect -
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.

Last week, I've finished my new scale model: It's a John Deere 75G excavator. I've chosen built it in in the Model Team style. The chassis and boom were the easiest part of the excavator. The cabin and rest of the upper part were challenging. It was a nice challenge to get the excavator in the correct shape. It took four month’s to complete the excavator with display. The 75G scale model has several functions from the real one: · Dozer blade · Rotating 360 degrees · Cabin door opens · Yanmar Tier 4 engine · Engine doors opens Pictures: 01_John_Deere_75G by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 02_John_Deere_75G by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 03_John_Deere_75G by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 04_John_Deere_75G by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 06_John_Deere_75G by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 13_overview_functions by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr Many thanks to JaapTechnic for making the custom stickers for this John Deere 75G scale model.

This 1:25 scale harvester is the KOMATSU 951. It’s a brand new and the biggest harvester of KOMATSU Forest. I’ve decided to build this harvester to display in my KOMATSU Forest layout (which I post soon). I’ve built as much as functions of the real 951 harvester in my model. It took 1,5 month to build this model. I’ve built the following functions: · Suspension with central pivot · Telescopic boom · KOMATSU S172 head (which can rotate like the real one) · Ladder for enter the cabin · Rotating operators seat · Door can be opened · Rotating cabin · Possible to stabilize the cabin when driving on sloping surfaces · AGCO Power 74 engine Pictures: 01_KOMATSU_951 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 02_KOMATSU_951 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 03_KOMATSU_951 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 08_KOMATSU_S172_head_and_telescopic_boom by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr KOMATSU S172 head 11_cabin_hinge_sideways by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 12_cabin_hinge_forwards by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 15_overview_functions_KOMATSU_951 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr Overview of functions Hope you like it

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. -
Take a look at this brilliant Liebherr LTM 1750 9.1, which I found on Flickr, by Dawid Szmandra. It's interesting, a rendition of a giant machine in the style of M-Longer or Sariel, Technic functions under a Model Team shell. Flickr Gallery:https://www.flickr.c...57655047082800# LEGO Liebherr LTM 1750-9.1 by Dawid Szmandra, on Flickr As a bonus, he made a video demonstrating some functions: Although, looking at this makes me lament the fact that Lego pneumatic pieces are always yellow. -
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. -
Hi Eurobrickers. Apologies if this has been posted already; this popped up on Brick RSS today and it looks like a decent new resource to sit alongside Brickset and the other LEGO review sites, as they do some cool comparisons between new and old sets. Lego Set Review Library Ape -
Thought this was worth sharing! http://thelegocarblog.com/2013/04/23/lime-limey/ I didn't even know that many lime green parts existed?! I thought there was just a handful. The world needs more lime green MOCs : )

Vespa P200 Review Model and instructions by The Arvo Brothers Ramon and Amador (The Arvo Brothers) are at it again and the end result is amazing! After the releases of two instruction books, one on the supperb Kaneda's Bike (I'm still sourcing out the parts) and another on a massive Alien sculpure, they now turn to a non-sci-fi theme and reveal a new model with instructions on how to build it: Piaggio's Vespa P200. Though not the most beautiful of Piaggio's Vespas, their ubiquity in the 80s and 90s make these bikes to be a pop-culture icon (you can read more about the P200 here) for anyone who was a child on those decades. For those unfamiliar with the bike, this is what Ramon and Amador were aiming for: The instructions: If you have already purchased any of Arvo Brother's prior books, then you can know what to expect: a very professional and stylized edition What differs on this Vespa (digital) book is no reference on the history behind the build, which are so engrossing on their two other publications (Alien and Kaneda's bike). Nevertheless, we are awarded with a 152 page, image rich, pdf, covering the 158 steps to assemble the 688 pieces that make the model up. Instructions are crystal clear as we've come to be accustumed with these Builders. The Arvo Brothers pasted a sample on their Facebook profile, which I'll use to depict the instruction style. The isometric perspective is quite handy in depicting the build steps and no confusion ever arises (probably aided by reduced color pallete of this build, comprise of black, white, dark and light gray pieces). Alongside with the construction steps of the main build, Ramon and Amador also include alternative construction steps, as a way to avoid harder to get parts (namelly, a) 4866 windscreen in white; b) 32439b technic disk; and c) 18653 brick arch inverted in white). These alternatives are nice, however the model looks better in its original form (as is to be expected). The Vespa P200 model is one suited for color swaps, however the pieces in use do not allow for a direct translation of the model into other colors (how I want an orange one). My only complaint relates to the parts list, as the creators stick to a generic "Light Gray" "Dark Gray" differentiation, not taking into consideration the "Light Bluish Gray"/"Light Gray" distinction (as well as the "Dark Bluish Gray"/"Dark Gray" specificities. This is just a minor nuissance in correctly selecting the parts you "already have"/"need to order" so you can complete the build. The Build: As mentioned above, instruction steps are clear and follow a very modular logic, almost seeming we are building a kit bike (or a real bike for that matter): . Tyres; . Body frame; . Left and right side panels; . Handlebar; The tyres: If you are familiar with past works of the Arvo Brothers, than you know official tire availability is no hurdle to their creative skills, and it so happens in this Vespa model: You'll be amazed to know that what you see are two 56x28 ZR Street tires bent out shape by 10 wide disks. Although hard to pull through, this building technic provides the wheel size needed to compliment the accurateness of the whole build. The body frame: As expected, this part covers most of the build and is where all the other segments will be placed. You can already see some of the iconic elements of this bike One can already see the distinctive hallmarks of the P200 just on this segment of the build, namely the inner arches, the seat and, especially, the curved front guard. Lovely is the inclusion of the grip detail on the floor of the bike, so accurate depicting the original model. The side panels: The side panels of the Vespas, along side the front guard, are the trademarks of these bikes, giving them a rounded (to the extreme in the 60's models) shape, a shape hard to translate in lego bricks. These side panels hold, on the right, the engine bay and, on the left, the spare tire, duly encased. The right panel (engine bay) The left panel (tyre bay) Both panels, from the front and from behind. As you can see, Ramon and Amador pulled the shapes quite accurately. The handlebar: Another distinctive element of the Vespa's are their large front lights and curved encasing. Although simple in appearance, the steps into making the curves and angles of the handlebar are amazing, leading to a very accurate representation: Fully assembled model: As it frequently happens, the full model is much more than the mere addition of its parts: My photo skills fail me in correctly showcasing this model's beauty, but you can refer to Arvo's own (rendered) showcase here. The handlebar is an hassle to correctly place as it suffers from the "Wall-e" syndrome, always rotating to unwanted angles. Nevertheless, I would still note the most amazing details on this build: The curved inner arches (can't stop admiring them) The curved front guard. The right side panel (engine bay) Final assessment: Pro's: . clear and stylized instructions; . less costly than the other hard covered instructions books by the Arvo Brothers; . no impossible to obtain pieces; . overall moc cost to range from 150 € to 200 € (maybe less if only used parts are purchased); . beautyful model; Con's: . would love a hard cover book (both to get further insight on the model and to place it alongside Kaneda and Alien books); . color selection could be improved in the parts list; . handle bar is somewhat loose (might be my construction skills); . limited functions (if what you want is not a display piece); Overall: . A not to be missed edition. For further details, visit the Arvo Brothers webpage here.

Hi, My main LEGO project of 2015: a KOMATSU forest layout with two forestry machines of KOMATSU forest. Both built in the Model Team style. The layout contains the KOMATSU 951 harvester, one of the newest and largest harvester of KOMATSU Forest, and the KOMATSU 895 forwarder, the largest forwarder of KOMATSU Forest.. Both built in a small scale and with several functions from the real machines. I've posted both a few months ago in the Technic forum. Pictures of the layout: Overview picture: 01_KOMATSU_Forest_layout by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr Overview picture backside of the forest: 11_KOMATSU_Forest_layout by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr KOMATSU 895 forwarder: 02_KOMATSU_895 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 10_KOMATSU_895 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr KOMATSU 951 harvester: 07_KOMATSU_951 by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 09_KOMATSU_951_front_view by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr fore more pictures of the forest layout my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.c...157661166966951 And two pictures which shows the functions of the machines: 15_overview_functions by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr 25_KOMATSU_895_overview_functions by Mathijs Bongers, on Flickr For more pictures of the machines see my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.c...57653524113986/ https://www.flickr.c...157655929965793 I hope you like my KOMATSU Forest layout

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.

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? -
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
