They are the "big" tires from 60s and 70s steering trucks. bricklink

Well, if I show you the undercarriage, you'll see that it's all just a fake. I cant't do that DSC03071 by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr Do you see the pic? I'm not sure if it works since it is set to private on flickr.

A friend of mine commented on a photo on facebook which was showing a Lego truck, that this would even be better if it had dual tires. This inspired me and I began building a truck around a dual tired axle. And this the result. historic truck by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr historic truck by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr historic truck by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr historic truck by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr Edit: I had to replace the pics by new ones. While cleaning up after cooking... no, after building the truck, I found a brick which actually should be built in the truck. It was then when I realized that there was a hole in the truck which could be seen on the pics. I tried to take the new photos with the same szene and the same angle of view but without the hole. In another forum I was pointed to the fact that brown was the wrong colour for the bars on which the rear lights are held, so I changed them to light grey on the new photos.

Ah. Thanks for the hint. There will be more pics with some orcs for sure. I'm still not sure how to put the orcs on the back of the boars, since I don't like them just sitting on animals like on a chair. I prefere them standing in the animal like in the original Lego horses, but I still didn't find the right technique to change the back of the boars, since they are too small to just remove some bricks ;)

Thank you very much. The cattle horns were the inspiration for the ballista ;)

And as if the boars wouldn't be enough, the orcs also got a new weapon to upgrade their attack skills :) Ballista by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr Ballista by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr

Ok. It isn't exactly a historic theme, but there isn't an animal section and since these boars are ment to be hunted and tamed by my orcs, and these are kind of historic... here it is: My giant boars Some giant boars by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr

Schrödingers cat by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr And suddenly I had to build this... I think this moc will help one or another to understand Schrödingers theory, since it makes the hole thing kind of grabbable (can you say something like this in english? ). And if not helpful, the moc is still nice to look at

Thank you all for the compliments

Actually I think the roof is a little bit too low. However I didn't change it, because it would have meant that I had to change the whole construction and therefor risk that the entire proportions would not have fitted in the end. Perhaps I will change it anytime in future..

Although the idea of building Eleanor isn't a new one, it had to be. A few months ago, I had to quick build a historic car in minifig scale. It became to be something near a Ford Granada with the antenna windscreen technique I finally used in my Eleanor moc. I liked this technique that much, that I had to build a better car moc around it. While I was searching the www for some ideas on which muscle car to build, I came across some Eleanor moc with these technic pin hole bricks as headlights. I really liked this Idea and therefor had to build my own Eleanor moc.

Here they are. Some better pics from flickr: Black Seas Barracuda by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr DSC02794 by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr DSC02797 by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr DSC02795 by Versteinert MOC, auf Flickr

Oh. Ok. I wondered how oldschool this image size was, but now I understand. I'll link to some bigger images on flickr this evening. Perhaps I'll build a Caribbean Clipper as well ;)

Here is my little tribute to captain Red Beard and his Black Seas Barracuda. Hope you like it.
