Hello Mitul, I'll be happy to help ! You should download the manual from Rebrickable and study 3D model on Bricklink, and if these are not enough don't hesitate to ask for support ! Enjoy your build !

Hello Kiwikid ! Wow, I'm very honoured to have a fan !!! ;) Right now the project is on Lego Ideas, so I publishing instructions would not be fair if to Lego if ever goes in production. Perhaps I will create instructions if it does not get the green light... (Still more than a year to go, though, so you'll have to be patient !). In the meanwhile, you can support the Mazinger Z Trilogy project and help it get more supporters ! You'll find it there : https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a32ec0b3-33a9-4e91-bcf3-b56883a42815 Thanks in advance !

That's a very valid point and an excellent design philosophy. Congrats ! (again ;) -
[MOC] Ferrari LaFerrari 1:8
AlexGdD replied to T Lego's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Fantastic build ! Congratulations for rendering both the body and chassis so well - I would gladly buy a "chassis only" version to display near the finished car !!! I would debate the active anti-roll system, though, because it makes the car look weird when steered (I don't think the 1:1 car takes that much roll !!!) but have to admit tech you put into is remarkable ;) Bravissimo ! -
Hello Swift, I suggest you visit my Airwolf MOC page on Rebrickable to download the PDF instructions, then click on the Inventory tab (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-131570/AlexGdeD/airwolf-125-scale-model/#parts). You will be presented with the list of parts needed to the build, with buttons to create a Wanted list on Bricklink or a Wish list on Brickowl. Then on your favourite of those 2 sites, you will just have to validate your carts to order the necessary parts from sellers everywhere in the world. I suggest you watch some tutorials about how these sites work first, so you can spend the right amount of money for the build (it can become very expensive as parts prices vary with each seller, their condition - used or new - and the location / shipping costs). Welcome to this addicting world and have fun with the build!

Hi again Operacion Saturno ! Finally I but the bullet and followed your advice... I've updated my Mazinger build which has just been admitted in Lego Ideas as the Mazinger Z Trilogy ! Perhaps it could become a real set one day !!! Thanks for convincing me it was worth it !
-
Hi all, For those of you who would like to build their own Airwolf, I've just uploaded a PDF Instruction Manual on Rebrickable ! You can also see the 3D model on Bricklink if you'd like to rotate it in all directions ;) Enjoy!

[MOC] Mclaren P1 (1:10)
AlexGdD replied to Pvdb's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Terrific job - global shape and technical highlights make for a great model. Headlights and "face" are fantastic ! Thanks for sharing. -
Thanks for your compliments ! Indeed I first thought they would be impossible to render in Lego but I am pretty proud of the result. Only the heads, and more specifically the eyes, still bug me as they are too "cyclopean". I dream of new head parts from the Lego Group. But, hey - that would be too easy I guess !!!

[MOC] Hayao Miyazaki and his Nibariki (Citroën 2CV)
AlexGdD replied to Norton74's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Yep, magic is the right word to describe your work. Thanks for this moment of poetry ! -
Hi all, Mazinger fans might be interested in my new MOC, a rendering of God Mazinger, a "rock" derivative of the famous Super Robot : The Anime series was cheap and not very popular, but an interesting point in the Mazinger saga anyway !
-
Hi all, for once I haven't built a Go Nagai design, but chose another classic robot design by Yoshiyuki Tomino, who famously designed Gundam afterwards. This super robot is Raideen : Raideen is one of the earliest transforming robot designs. He can change into "God Bird" : (I'm still not totally happy with God Bird's beak design rendered in Lego, though - any suggestion appreciated !-) More pictures on my Flickr page : Enjoy !

Hi all, still working on my "Lego Nagai" super robots ! I've recreated some of Go Nagai's less popular designs, which are interesting nonetheless : This one is Gakeen, it was a kind of follow-up for Jeeg, also featuring the magnet articulations but in a weirdly proportionned toy. Super long legs and very short torso are very unusual. The colour scheme is a good reminder that war is stull raging on in Ukraine, and that it should stop ! This one is Groizer X, a robot that could transform into a kind of weird plane. It was very popular in Spanish and Portuguese language countries. Las but not least, Govarian is a transforming robot that featured in a cartoon with many similarities with Gundam and Macross/Robotech. The series' sponsor requested that the main robot should have a head similar to Mazinger's ! The robot could be upgraded with an additional armour in the shape of a transforming jet / spacecraft. You'll see more pics on my Flickr pages ! Enjoy !

Hi all, for the Go Nagai fans and historians, you might be interested in this super robot : It's Roboizer, the "prototype" of Grendizer. It featured in a movie that Toei created to test the next robot to feature in the Mazinger saga, but the design was not popular and evolved into the Grendizer we know and love. This one is very simple and plain, but does have a certain retro charm !
-
Mmmh, I must admit I thought about this. But even though I'd love my figures to become a real set, I used a few illegal techniques that would not pass the TLG board !
-
Ah ! Ah ! Yes those games were horrible - The computer one in particular was infuriating ! I remember having fun with the arcade version, though. It's funny how these games are a bit like Lego - at the time the best visuals you could get were heavily pixellated ! Nowadays it's possible to achieve smooth curves win Lego !!!

Hi all, I'm still working on my "Lego Nagai Collection" (pun intended) so here's my Jeeg Robot MOC - a poseable figure standing 20cm tall. It was interesting this time having those sexy legs to render, very different from the other Super Robots designed by the Japanese master in the seventies ! The original toy had endless possibilities thanks to magnetic joints, and got many weapon add-ons as well as a horse - so kids would collect them all. Here are the Mech Drill reactors for instance : I still feel compelled to dedicate a version to the Ukrainian people - those cartoons spoke of war and actions but the heroes were always fighting for freedom and peace. You'll find more pics on my Flickr album : Enjoy !
-
Hi all, I've added some special attacks sucj as the Drill Pressure Punch : And a speedy means of transport - the Great Booster ! There's more on the Flickr page ! Enjoy !
-
Thanks ! You might also remember the sequel, Getter Robot G : I've worked on those, too - here's Getter Dragon : And Getter Liger : And this is Poseidon : Hope you like them. My Getter G Flickr album is here : Enjoy !
-
And now Getter 3 of course ! and with Ukraine colours - because this war has to stop : Enjoy !
-
Thanks Ben ! It's been hard work - but a labour of love indeed !

Hi all, I'm happy to present you my Airwolf 1:25 scale model ! I started this project in 2013, inspired by Lego's 9396 Technic Rescue Helicopter. Seeing its front end, I thought "at last ! It must now be possible to make a convincing Airwolf model out of Lego !". I used Technic panels to get the aerodynamic shape properly, and have had good fun since then improving the model with new parts (the curved slopes for the exhaust for example). The model is based on the Universal Studios blueprints. It accepts 3 minifigs inside - Stringfellow Hawke, Dominic Santini and Caitlin O'Shanessy. Weapons can be displayed in or out, like the landing gear - I considered making those articulated, but at this scale I just could not figure out how to do this so these are add-ons parts. At the time I wished Lego would accept it in their Ideas project, but I got a reply that "being a military vehicle, Airwolf would not be allowed Lego support". I was quite gutted and just kept it for myself. Anyway, I'm happy to share it now ! After completing my Airwolf model, I felt I needed to make a full set of toys to make it more playable. The Bell 206s are based on the factory blueprints - also at 1:25 scale - and my first version of the Jeep was loosely based on Zed's MOC Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Since 2013 it has evolved quite a bit, though ! Also, it was good fun reproducing Archangel's limousine FIRM 1 ! As a Cadillac Seville owner in the eighties, it was nice trying to get the lines of this Fleetwood Brougham limo properly. I wish Lego would make studless wings for the front end, though !!! You will note that I could not resist creating minifigures for Archangel and his lovely bodyguards ! You might even recognise Marella and Gabrielle ;) I still feel compelled to show my models with Ukraine colours as the war is raging on. It must stop ! I remember watching Airwolf episodes where the Russians (the usual villains, the Cold War was still on) were pictured as normal people just wanting freedom and democracy. I hope this is still true ! You can see more pics Flickr album of course : I wish I could make nicer renderings, as the photos are far from perfect. But I still can't manage chrome and transparency properly with Blender. Talk about a learning curve... Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the pics !

Lovely collection ! Thanks for sharing all the information - a very interesting read !

Hi all, Getter 1 would not be complete without Getter 2 - a different way of making a giant robot out of the three jets assembly ! And here it is in "No War in Ukraine" colours : Enjoy !
