apemax replied to apemax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
ahh... your right. that makes sense. i was trying to make it as compact as possible but that would work for a bigger version. thanks. -
MOC: working power functions lift
apemax replied to apemax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
thanks. i thought about putting rails down the sides but A: i wanted it to be easier for it to do different heights and B: i was running out of pieces. i did try to even out the differences between the two sides but one side always ended up going longer than the other. both sides are run by only one motor. i guess if i put two motors in it (one for each side.) then i could even it out manually. i put two strings because i thought it would be more stable. -
here's another model i made a while ago. it a power functions lift that gos up and down. (not very well though.) this was more of a experiment than anything else. more pictures on brickshelf here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=452658 (once they become public.) sorry about the picture quality. and a video of it working:

well for brickset: We have piece counts for 102 of them. Using that data we have calculated that you own 18268 pieces! We have retail prices for 61 of them. Using that data we have calculated that their total retail value is £975. and for peeron: Totals: 103 Sets (103 unique), 18,170 Parts, $1,876.5, 111 Minifigs. but i'm not sure whether thats all my sets or not. it's 99% of them though i think.

MOC: AP8 HotRod
apemax replied to apemax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think i've got a few more black plates to put there. I don't have any Technic Panels but i might be able to find something to put there. no it's not really model after any particular car. it's just from what i've seen of these sorts of cars. thanks for the comments. -
This is a HotRod with power functions for steering and drive. it has working steering,working front and rear suspension, a working 2 speed gear box and a working folding roof. this is currently built at the moment. i tried my best with the colours. if there's any improvements to the design i can make just say. more picture's on the brickshelf page here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=451635

yeah one day. thanks. thanks. thanks.
-
it's like LDD but uses the LDraw parts library. here's the link to MLCAD's website: http://www.lm-software.com/mlcad/
-
thanks. yeah i don't have that many slope/inverted slope parts or i would have. i thought about covering the technic bricks with plates but i ran out of plates so yeah. thanks. greyscale pic added to first post. thanks. yeah you never know, one day hopefully.
-
thanks. maybe one day when i can afford to buy some more bricks i'll build this again with better colours. thanks. i might try that.

This is a remake of a really old Nebulon-B frigate i made years ago. this used up nearly all of my parts. hence the random colours. more pictures here: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=451551
-
it's looking better than ever and the amount of detail is just incredible. and that B-wing is really good too. just fantastic. well done.
-
thanks for all your comments. yeah i just don't have that many parts. hence the random colours.
-
thanks for the comments. yeah i know the colours are a bit off. but i just remembered that i made it in MLCAD so the render of it is in the first post.

apemax replied to Daedalus304's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I've posted one now. my latest is here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=48350 do you know of here? http://www.rockraidersunited.org/ it's a great place if you like LRR. i'm apemax there too. -
This is my Rock Raiders Large Mining Transport. it has three M power functions motors. one for each track plus one for the drill. I don't actually have any Rock Raiders pieces so i had to Improvise. more pictures here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=451128 and a render of it: made in MLCAD, rendered in pov-ray.
