Since this is a contest, a lot of entries are often not posted until they are complete. So there will be (hopefully) many more entries closer to the deadline. -
I like the name, and it gives me some ideas of possible functions... Good start! Good luck with your army service!
-
HOW COULD WE NOT LIKE IT?! There no words beside "utter perfection...." Stunning model... I don't know what else to say... Where did you get all the chrome parts? And how much did they cost? I would love to add chrome details on my models, but have always been afraid of checking the price.

Nothing in particular will be done especially for the 40th Anniversary... But I do have a special project that is currently on pause while I compete in TC12. After the contest is over and I dismantle my entry, I will resume work on my Nomad.

Crane problem
Leonardo da Bricki replied to Dafgek81's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
"This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers... Gnaws iron, bites steel. Grinds hard stones to meal... It slays king, and ruins town, And beats high mountain down. I am time." J. R.R. Tolkien got that right! From his book, "The Hobbit." And I know, I just revealed myself as a true nerd... -
Crane problem
Leonardo da Bricki replied to Dafgek81's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@nerdsforprez With, age, just like everything else... As the batteries get older and are not used, the caustic materials in them will gradually begin to leach out of them, causing the corrosion, which ruins the electronics. @Dafgek81 At some point I built the crane alone just to get the experience, but as far as I remember, it worked fine for me. I would double-check the gearing... -
Wow... Usually, the Batmobiles are notoriously difficult to build, but this one looks great! Cool functions, and it drives pretty well.
-
Wow... That is gonna be gigantic! Looks great so far, massive, weird, huge, strange, monstrous... What color(s) will it be? Red to match the wheels?
-
This truck looks great, and the inclusion of all the functions is awesome! It drives pretty well too, even though your ground clearance is about 0.
-
Excellent start! It already looks imposing. I see a V-12 engine in the background... Will that take the place of the straight-6?
-
I am not taking this seriously, I want to have fun and try to push my abilities as a builder. I thought up what I think is a really cool function, and I hope to be able to implement it fully. No transmission or gearbox in this one. But there will be a fake engine. Probably. If I can fit it in...
-
Tonight's Update: Progress has been made! I figured out how to connect the rear wheel and driving axle to the swing arm, now I just have to figure out how to mount that to the chassis... Which still needs to be built. Crappy pics are in the spoiler, sorry for the poor quality. I should (hopefully) be getting a real photography background and some lights soon.
-
This looks interesting... The suspension is a new style for you, rear wheel drive, adjustable spoiler... Cannot tell if that is V-8 or V-10 engine... Not enough to make a guess on. I wish I had enough parts to make even one supercar...
-
Dangerous modifications... I think you will have some issues with speed though. @mocbuild101 66th post, 666th post, 666th post, 666th post 666th post 666TH POST!
-
Dang, TWO V-8 engines... Lot of power here. I really like the steering with four little wheels. Good luck!
-
Tonight's Update: 1. I am making progress, though I cannot show it here, I have discovered several things that will NOT work... Ergo, I have found a possible method. It is not in bricks just yet, I need to see if I can even make it work before I show it off. I may need to significantly rework my mystery function in order for it to be successful, it requires a crap ton of moving parts, all of which need to be synchronized. So I could post a photo of a pile of randomly connected U-joints, Cardan joints, bevel gears, linear actuators and some shocks. But it shows nothing at all, and I plan to get somewhere tomorrow now that I have figured out what I need to do. Sorry there is nothing to show, I will have photos tomorrow for sure.

Rubber band and a rack, maybe a ram of some sort?
-
Cool! You're already further along than I am, congrats! Looks like you have a side-mounted cannon, 4-wheel steering, rear-wheel drive and something else, but I cannot tell what the L-motor is supposed to be used for... Catapult maybe?
-
Congrats on finishing this behemoth! It looks great, too bad it cannot drive well. Functions sound cool, I will wait eagerly for the video. Also, your title has a typo. Not a big one, but it should say "International...."
-
Grazie! More will be shown tonight, so stay tuned!
-
Cool model, it looks great and works well. Now you need to make one of those little baggage cart "trains." When I first started getting into Technic, gosh, was it really 6 years ago?! My grandpa looked at what I was doing, then went and told my little brothers "Sorry guys... It looks like your brother is building replacements for you."
-
Great review, I will definitely pick this up, it is full of useful pieces... Especially sand green! In general, pick up an Ideas set first because their production run is usually limited. As I sadly learned...
-
Update for today: 1. An apology: I said I would do this yesterday, then totally forgot to. My bad. 2. The chassis: Nowhere near as far as I was hoping to get yesterday, I had a ton of trouble with how I wanted to add the rear suspension and drivetrain and mystery function into the same suspended swing-arm... However, I am happy to report that I believe I have found a solution! See in the spoiler below. I hope to finish the rear swing-arm prototype today. 3. The bodywork: Hahahaha! Great joke! ... Yeah, not even started except for part gathering... See a pic in the spoiler.

Campaign 3- Taking Ground 6/15/17 - 7/31/17
Leonardo da Bricki replied to TheBeeze's topic in The Great Brick War
Ok, that is fine. I will keep the one I already have. -
Just a quick update for tonight: I have begun forming the chassis, so far it is not worth showing (plus my camera battery is dead) but tomorrow I will have photos of my progress. I did learn that the rear wheels and suspension will be much trickier than I thought previously, in order to accommodate my unusual function... Sorry I don't have anything to show for today!
