@MangaNOID Thanks! @aol000xw Yes, that's true. Personally, I'm not into MadMax stuff, but I really enjoyed building this MOC. I slightly worry about this, because all entries will look too similar to each other. @Ctan Thanks! I am glad that you like my entry.

Update time. Video is being processed, hope to finish it during the weekend. Now it is time for detail and technical photos. Hi-res are available on my Bricksafe. https://bricksafe.com/pages/horcikdesigns/tc17-hardvester

Awww, that background is awesome! I would personally focus on the car only (lower depth of field), but the rust fit the roadwarrior theme perfectly.

Thanks! I tried to use LBG version of the part (18940), but the red looks better. It goes with the front rims and adds some life to rest of the faded body.

Well, here is the promised update. Next time I'll add more detail photos of all functions and also a video showing this beast in action! All photos: https://bricksafe.com/pages/horcikdesigns/tc17-hardvester I've added some brown details, some rods and bars, machinegun, more spikes, driver seat and steering wheel, more chains, more spikes and chains and even more brown bricks. The vehicle's functions are aimed to maximize playability, so all controlling knobs and one button are placed on sides and roof. The vehicle has working V6 fake engine and 2 rear axle steering with different steering angle (even in maximally mad postapocalyptic world should be some basic rules to build well-behaving vehicles). Steering is controlled with the dkBrown 2×2 round brick on the roof. Then there is front attachment, that is powered by front wheels, but not continuously, there is a switch operated by 2L liftarm on the roof. The attachment is permanently connected with the vehicle. Rising and tilting of the front attachment are independently controlled by obligatory signal lights from the roof, that are connected to three small LAs (2 rising, 1 tilting). On the back there is a wrecking arm, that can extend (crank on left side of the vehicle) and elevate (crank on right side). Next to the crane arm is the Light bullish gray thing, that is in fact the most complicated mechanical device of the truck, a button-operated minelayer. The trigger-button is located right behind the cab and is not clearly visible current photos. By pressing the button you turn the shutter on the end of the minelayer, that releases just 1 "mine" (yellow 2L connector with 1L liftarm). The following mines are stopped from falling by rubber element, that turns in opposite direction and with 1/3 of angle of the shutter. There is also a tiny machinegun on one side, that is attached to side-mounted platform, that can unfold when needed. It can also be used as bridge to allow passengers of my rig to jump to another car that we meet on the road. Do you want to hear a backstory of this truck? It was probably found on an abandoned farm in the wastelands and is used mostly as a freelance recovery vehicle. However, if the recovered crew is not generous (fuel is the best gift, right?), this truck can wreck them again in seconds. Thank you for this contest, it was great excuse to myself to buy some brown bricks I always wanted but never needed. Hope you like my entry, and please let me know in comments what would you change. And I hope that the rear hook does not violate the rule about cutting bricks. The end link of the chain cracked after stepping on it approx 10 years ago.

Keep it up, it looks super awesome!

Wow, nice 911. Good job!

I've also made instructions guide for this MOC. Visit Rebrickable.com, find MOC-34705 and enjoy! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-34705/Horcikdesigns/concept-car-8081-hommage/#bi

I really like look of this vehicle. The wheel supports that are on the outer side of the rim give it very special look, and their backward lean gives the whole vehicle really agressive look. Keep it up! .

@Thirdwigg That sounds great!

Thank you for the instructions. I have to say it again, really nice and clean build.

Little update. More will come soon. I added many spikes and replaced some parts with more rusty and 'damaged' counterparts. Brown chain is used for lifting the towing arm.

Thanks, I see now.

Oh, so many attachments... Looks really good. I like the minelayer (I built similar device for my entry too), how is it operated? Some button or knob?

Wow, the body is super great, but I would preffer to see much lower chassis.

I really like the plan you proposed to build your car. Stock version and then make it fit the theme - perfect, almost like real one. The body is really nice and recognizeable. Keep up good work!

The colourscheme of the digital model is awesome! I also really like the way the body and exhaust pipes are built.

It is so well built and engineered. Good job and keep it up! Looks like you were waiting for the new tires. ?

Hey, Thank you for sharing! :) The Blacktron guy is inspired by the space bounty hunter from Series 19., the miner is free-style variation on Space miner (series 12(?)) and classic Mtron figs.

As Didumos69 said, this MOC is Roadwarrior from pistonhead to toe. Good job! Exhaust pipes are my favourite.

Would it be possible to make the app work even with locked touchscreen? I would like to have phone locked and placed in pocket. I really enjoy the app, it is much better IMHO than all official apps.

They are not very flexible. I had once 45803 anr the feel was like an liftarm. On the other hand, that wierd gray connectors used with these elements in the RC Racers cars, were flexible much more.

Thanks! :)

Well, this was busy day. 9 functions! Fake engine, steering, front attachment rotation switch (in making, originally it had permanent drive from front axle) and manipulation, rear towing equipment (winch... or something more badass will be added later), and button-operated weapon. Can you guess what the weapon does? Finally an excuse to get brown bricks.

Another teaser and WIP report. O would like to add tow-truck arm and minelayer to tge back, both manually operated. All functions will be operated manually.
