[MOC] Isuzu NPR
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
OK, version two of this truck is now done. Due to the modular construction of this build the cab and front axle is the same (albeit in yellow), but connects to a different rear axle that supports a different body and a rear attachment. Instructions for this version may be found at Rebrickable.com. It features: Steering RWD with fake I4 engine Opening doors Tilting cab Stake bed with removable sides Rear Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) Modular construction With TMA removed. I hope you enjoy. -
[MOC] Isuzu NPR
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks! Nope, each truck has a cab/front axle and a rear axle. Both are connected by four identical liftarms with pins and a drive axle; each in whatever length bed needs. Pull the lift arms, and change the axle, and you have a new wheelbase. Thanks, I would be honored if you built it! You bet, send me a PM, and I'm happy to send the parts in whatever file you need. Yeah, I agree about 42203, but I've stopped being disappointed by LEGO sets. I get them if they have potential, and then I give them that potential. I'm glad you like the truck, and I'm happy I got the hood just right. Yeah, I've never owned or built 42024, and I want to like it. In fairness it's so hard to get a skip loader or a hooklift truck to work perfectly. I didn't think about making this MOC into a skip loader, but I wonder if I can get that to happen. Let me tinker a little bit... Thanks again. -
Hi All, I have had a number of non-LEGO projects recently, so it feels good to get any LEGO MOC done this year. This simple little project grew out of seeing three Isuzu N- Series driving around my neighborhood one day. One was a lawn care truck, another was a hooklift with a dumpster, and the final was a box truck. I wanted to make a MOC that could easily accommodate each version of the truck, in 1:21 scale of course. The first is a hooklift with a plain dumpster, and instructions may be found at Rebrickable.com. It features: Steering RWD with fake I4 engine Opening doors Tilting cab Working hooklift Rear tailgate Modular construction Tilting Cab Hooklift Function And a video. Enjoy. I am working to finalize the other two shortly.

[MOC] Chevy K5 Blazer

Welcome back @Madoca 1977. I hope that you are well, and life is treating you kindly now. It's great to see you again back in this place, and we look forward to more builds from you. Congratulations on this build. It's a great addition to your catalog with smart features, nice capacity, and just the right size. Well done. -
Again, another great MOC. I have always enjoyed your aesthetic language, and your functionality is right where it needs to be. And I'm always here for a tractor! I like the inclusion of the front bucket, and I would love to see more attachments. The trailer looks about 9/10 scale, but I like the simplicity and the functions included. The rake is pretty cool too, as specially with the single action/dual function feature. Great job!

[MOC] Custom 1:5 Motorbike
Thirdwigg replied to Lipko's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Stunning build. I find motorcycles to be the most difficult subject area, and you nailed it. The proportions are just right, and I like the color even if you find red a little boring. I'm fond of the front suspension, and it make the front of the bike sharper looking. The engine details really flesh out the bike's design as well. Also, I love the exhaust. Great job! -
[TC29] BullDozer - Finished
Thirdwigg replied to MangaNOID's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I love the vibe of this build. It's strange and misproportioned in all the right ways. Like a Dr. Seuss machine. Great job! -
Yeah, life can sometimes get in the way of building. I'm grateful for all the things, and even the little time I can build. OK, the build is not perfect, but it's done. I'll release instructions soon enough. We'll see if I get a video together. The build features: Moving tracks Cab door Tilting bed Rear tailgate

Alright, I'm not going to be able to finish this build in time for the contest, but I have set it aside for later completion. But I still wanted to build something, and contests are a lot of fun for me. And since there are a lot of tracked dumpers, I decided to make one of those, but tiny. I threw some ideas together in Studio... Then I put it together in real bricks. It's a simple design with moving tracks, tipping bed, and a cab door. I think I can get this done in two days.

[MOC] BMW M2 G87
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks a lot! I'm super jealous. I might have to come visit to check it out. F87 or G87 for you? Color? I'm glad you like the build.
