  1. Cool dozer! Reminds me of wacky contraptions people came up with at the begining of 20th century. So many features, and all have realistic controls. Only thing I could wish for is to seperate drive from pump. Good Job!
  2. I love the silliness of this build! seeing oldman pedal in slowmotion made me smile :D Good Job!
  3. Yet another grat Zil from you, considering my love for hydraulic cranes this one is my favorite so far :) Well done!
  4. Thanks for your comments! glad you like it.
  5. HI! I would like to present you my new addition to small-scale construction machinery crew. This time it's really small model of a skid steer loader :D Even though model is small I managed to squezze few features in it: Starting with arm elevation and bucket tilt, both controled via knobs at the rear, openable doors to the cabin and exchangable tools. I decided to go with asimetric arm configuration as it was more appealing esthetician in my opinion. Because of that choice tools tend to slack from unsupported side, especially under a substancial load. Just like my previous mocs from this category, loader also roughly fits the scale of old minifigs from Jack Stone and 4Junirors series and the minifigs themselves can fit in the cabin with no issue. If you would like to see more photos of this MOC, I invite you to check out my Flickr Gallery. If you want to build this MOC you can get them for free on Rebrickable. Cheers!
  6. Thank you, im glad you like it. Making steering work and fit next to the boom rasing mechanism, took some tinkering, having half-pins as only friction-less pins in the set didn't help either ;)
  7. 42158 NASA Mars Rover Perseverance - Marsian Loader (large category)
  8. Hi! Recently I decidet to try building own alternate build form an official lego set. I figured out thet the best candidate for first try will be set 42158-NASA Mars rover perseverance as it is quite complex set with plenty of useful parts but still isn't that huge as many other sets that offer large varaity of pieces. So I got myselfe a 42158, built it had some fun with it and started thinking what else could I build with these pieces. Obviously with sets quite uniqe colors and wheels way differen from ordinary ones, I knew that my model is not suppose to be a replica of machine you can see in real life. I decidet to go with space theme and build something more toy-like. Inspired by loader form 8062 - Briefcase-set I decided I would build telehandler-like loader on 6 wheels. I managed to put sevral features in this model like: -Front and rear axle steering via knob on the cabin top -Clossing of the grabber via knob behind the cabin -Arm elevation via knob on the rear of the vechicle -Manualy openable doors of the cabin -Simple oscilating suspension of front and rear axle. From the remaining pieces I've managed to build simple reactor that can be assembled by the loader to add some more play value. I'm quite happy with how this model turned out. It might not have any uniqe features and crazy building techniques but is quite well rounded with not too many cut corners of a b-model that i was afraid it would have when I started building it. If you want to build this model yourselfe instructions are available on Rebrickable If you want to see more photos of this MOC you can find them on my Flickr Hope you have a nice day!
  9. Thank You for your comments Fixed! Thanks for mentioning this
  10. Hi! It took me a unreasonably big amount of time to publish this model, but finally here we are :) This MOC was meant to be a little warm up after 2 years pause from LEGO. Becouse of that it's a small and quite simple model but in the same time I belive its interesting mechanicaly-wise as it uses some of ideas I acumuleted throug these 2 years without building. Two main features are steering mechanism and three-way tipper, both of these functions are controlled by the same knob which controls steering if in lower position and tipping if pulled up. Model also features openable bonet with fake engine underneath, doors behind which you will find decently detailed interior, Storage compartments that can fit some minifigure accesories like shovel, broom or wrench and three sides of the tipping bed. If you would like to build this model I created instructions in stud.io which are available on Rebrickable. More Photos cheers!
  11. Thanks for your advices. I guess I rather build a typical super car anyway. Today I was puting some parts together to check what I can get from them and i built something resembling sports cars front . As you can see I also lowered the chassis even more. See ya!
  12. Hi! As I finished my crane truck project lately, I decided to consider participating in competition. I want to make use of my fully suspended chassis concept based on these parts . I have already built a prototype, to check if it will will stand up to my expectations. It works suprisingly well. Main upside of this solution is that it packes whole suspension in really thin build. Apart from suspension and steering I want to also add working fake engine with a simple geerbox (let's say 2 speeds + R). My biggest problem for this moment is not really knowing what I want my car to look like and theres not much time left, so I better hurry up. See ya!
  13. Thanks for your comments! I'm glad you like it.
  14. Hello there! I would like to present you my recent MOC which is this small scale semi truck with crane and flatbed trailer: This is not my first attempt on building this type of machine. As a kid I've been enchanted by 8528 set which wasn't afordable for me, so I tried buiding one on my own and throughout the years I crated many of them. The idea behind this model was to build small 4 axle semi truck with fully functional crane and trailer with hidden electronics inside so it could be remotly controled. Cabin It was the part from which I started. Through the building process it changed a lot from its first version. Cab features openable doors and removeable roof section in case you would like to get acces to detailed interior. Also the cab can be tilted to uncover fake static v6 engine. Outriggers There are 4 of them in total. I had really hard time figuring out how to make them work in a way that at least resembles how real ones work. I came up with an idea I have seen in 7037 set where the footbrige comes out of sige tower when you pull cord from the other side. For needs of my model I rolled cord on a spool and added second thread to make mechanism work in both directions. The upsides of this solution is that it uses minimum of space while still working smoothly. The drawback is that assembling it, so it's not loose, is somtimes very frustrating. Crane Crane has 3 moving sections including fly Jib on its end. Fly Jib and the second section can be also extended using the same solution I used in outriggers. One cranes second section I have mounted fully functional winch with release ratchet. Whole structure reaches up to 40 cm high when fully extended. Middle section The most compicated one I guess. Inside it contains a distribution mechanism that makes three functions(deploying outriggers, crane first section unfolding and crane rotation) Work from one knob and a slider. Also in one place I needed to use a flex hose instead of axle wchih was getting in the way of bevel gear. Trailer Simple as it is. It holds inside plenty of elctroncs (M motor for steering, Xl motor for drive, standard Bbox and Ir reciver. Driving whole model gives a lot of fun, as it's quite fast for its mass(1,4kg). Trailer also fetures simple supporting legs so it can stand on its own. Conclusion I achived every goal I have put in front of me while building this model and I'm very satisfied with how it came out. Galery Pics from building process Thank you for your attention hope you enjoyed;)
  15. Hello everyone :D I would like to present to you my latest cration: Inspired by thisyear set 42095 and "The peacemaker" from "Mad Max", I decided to build a Rc model of a musce car on catepillars. so yeah, it is not a tank really ;) I started building proces with tracked bogies in which are hidden driving motors (one XL for each). Then I started building the middle section with car body. I placed Bbox under it. All three parts of the model are conected using large turntables, allowing them to rotate. Gallery Thats all from me, feel free to comment :D
  16. Yet another moc in small scale, but this time something off-road My goal while building this moc was to implement full suspension + steeringo on both axles, I reached it after just one day of building. Things got complicated when i started building the body for which I had totally no idea. finally i decided to build a blue pick-up truck with some yelow details. I also iplemented two other functions: winch and openable doors. for suspension model uses my own idea shock absorbers, these are really usefull as I believe... I really enjoied building this modeel and I'm happy how it turned out :) some miniatures: Thanks for your atention and I'm waiting for your comments :D
  17. Hello guys! Today something totally different from my past creations. As always model i packed with some functions, in this case there are: -Remote control propullsion and steering -rotation of turret -elevation of main gun -shooting mechanism! -and other little detils for example openable drivers compartment. Even though model has motorized functions i belive that the flagship one is shooting mechanism, the range of shooting is something about 1.5 m and it provides lot of fun while playing :D One of the biggest challenges while building this model was packing it with Pf elements, such as Box which found its place in the turret. Becouse of that turret can't rotate whole 360°. Some miniatures: Thanks for your atention :)
  18. It works just like a manual winch, but instead of pulling a hook, it closes the bucket by simply dragging it. Btw. Thanks for comments!
  19. Thanks for comments! @AFOLegofan66: nope, I'm going to take it apart next week. @BusterHaus: Not only becouse of the Bbox placement: Again thanks for your comments :)
  20. Good evening. Today I would like to present you my recent build which is this Mining Excavator. My main goal while building this moc was to implement in it a geer box which would allow to chose function and direction in which it would work. And I can say that I reached this goal :D As this is a front-shovel excavator I also wanted to make the bucket open and close. I decidet to make this function work Via a thread ,with which I can pull the bucket to close, and rubber bands which will open the bucket when there's no force on it. Whole mechanism can be operated by a knob placed next to the leavers of the gear box. I also decided to start making voice cover in my videos, and this is my first attempt to it, so check it out :D Some thumbnails Waiting for your comments :D
  21. Preaty cool, he would nicely fit in mahri serie insted of hewki. only thing that bugs me a bit is that huge mask from Axonn, but i can accept it ;)
  22. I would like to present you my most recent cration. Model was built mainly becouse I couldnt find any sensible aplication for my humpbacked torso... As you could guess model was based on AT-ST style robots :) For More photos Click here. Thank you for attention.
  23. My most recent Moc based on the biggest type of trucks but also built in on of smallest scales in technic ;) I was "working" on it for two evenings. Functions: -HoG steering -Dumping Model has also some small details like fake engine or stairs on grill. Hope you enjoied ;)
