Long time no see! Soaring is my latest kinetic sculpture. Wait. I have seen this before you might think. And you would of course be right. This model is heavily inspired by JK Brickworks' Pursuit of Flight. This was built for a cousin of mine who absolutely loves planes. If you have a kinetic sculpture from the absolute GOAT at your disposal that fits the bill, it would be foolish not to use it. Little video: The internal mechanism is pretty much identical. I am especially proud of the design of the planes. Unlike Jason's, these feature turning propellers. It's ridiclously simple, really. The propeller is connected to an axle that runs through the entire plane and is activated by a small gear on the rear. This forced me to build the entire plane with a core of 1x1 Technic bricks on their side. These bricks limit the design quite a bit, but also give it a fun Lego look. The base is brand-new too and features an Earth Blue ocean with some fun clouds (simple but really effective and fluffy!) - a combination of Dalek/Travis bricks, headlight/Erling bricks and plates and bricks. The cliffs on the background are loosely inspired by the White Cliffs of Dover and feature a lighthouse as a way to break the environment and tie the red/white colour scheme together. Same with the boat. The base is also new and far more ornate than Jason's original. Anyway, I think I gave it my signature look while keeping the genius of Jason's mechanism. I think it's cool but the judges are you! Hope you like it Gallery:

....that has to work somehow with lego?! Fascinated by Oscar Pettersson's animation...I played around with the Trammel of Archimedes mechanism -
[MOC] WAVES - A Kinetic Sculpture

WAVES - A Kinetic Sculpture Hi everyone! Just released a video of my latest sculpture in my series of explorations into movements of the sea. This one is inspired by the great work of @aeh5040 with his synchropods. Really happy with how this creation as well as the video turned out, recently upgraded all of my camera gear. Hope you're all doing well! -

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition! Tintin needs no introduction really. Created by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi (Hergé), Tintin is a reporter and adventurer who travels the world in search of adventure and stories. Over the course of the 20th century, Hergé drew a series of 24 comic books with Tintin as the protagonist. Two of the most fascinating are Objective: Moon (Objectif: Lune) and Explorers on the Moon (On a marché sur la Lune) which in the early 1950s showed what a Moon mission could look like, something that would not become a reality until some fifteen years later. One of the key elements of these albums was the rocket to the moon: the red-and-white V2-inspired machine is one that has captured the imagination of many (including me, of course ) Here's a little video of my rocket in motion: I tried to make the rocket itself move upwards, but I couldn't find a proper way of doing so without intersecting with the already moving clouds of smoke or destabilising the whole model. Truth be told, the clouds are pretty weak and as much as I would love to make instructions for the whole model, it's just way too flimsy for my lax standards to even approve. I'm planning though on making instructions for the rocket alone with a simple base, which is definitely secure enough. And pretty cheap too: I think it was somewhere along the 270-piece mark. This origniated from my father, who is huge Tintin fan. For his birthday earlier this March, I gifted him this kinetic sculpture of the famous rocket lifting off. The clouds of smoke move thanks to two simple camshafts, creating the illusion of the rocket really lifting off. Most are positioned parallel to one another except for the second-to-last row which is angled to give some more interest to the model. You can find a complete album on my Flickr and on my Instagram.

This MOC is based on my favorite winter cartoon “Father Frost and the Gray Wolf” One of the most memorable episodes when farther Frost easily slides on skis through the winter forest. And to make it more interesting, I decided to build not just a figure, but a kinetic sculpture. In general, kinetic art in Lego is very widely represented and I have long wanted to try myself in this area. After a short search I have found skier by JK Brickworks However, the style of movement of the Canadian skier is fundamentally different from the style of father Frost. The first one's movement of the arms and legs is short and rhythmic, then the second one's is more in amplitude. And this means that it is impossible to take and repeat the finished mechanism - it is necessary to develop a fundamentally different way. After several experiments, I drew attention to this detail Fortunately, I had two of them, and the mechanism acquired its final form: Father Frost: Kinetic Sculpture by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr Here, the rotation of the handle, through a system of gears, sets in motion the elementary mechanism for converting rotational motion into translational, which moves the rack and pinion gear. The main idea is to synchronize two racks through a gear, which simultaneously transmit rotation to the upper gear system, simulating the movement of the hands. Gear ratios were selected in such a way as to closely match the movements of the hero. Below you can see the result. Father Frost: Kinetic Sculpture by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr To hide the mechanism, the figure is placed on a stand decorated with a primitive Christmas tree and a gift. A figure of a Snowman is attached to the pen. In the cartoon, he worked as a driver for father Frost, but here he “sets in motion” the sculpture. Father Frost: Kinetic Sculpture by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr Below is a video of the sculpture, the music is taken from the original cartoon.

[MOC] WHY NOT Kinetic Sculpture
Nalyd997 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey everyone, after a bit of a hiatus here is what I have got to show: I displayed this as part of this year's GBC circuit at the Brickvention here in Melbourne. I made it to answer what I guess is the one question GBCers get asked a lot. I was inspired by Nico71's brilliant sculpture and thought i would have a crack! Hope you enjoy:)
