    @Jim ok thanks, I’ll redirect.
  2. Thirdwigg
    Is this model team? If so, I'll need to go back to the drawing board...

    My kind of airplane. Now I’m interested. Keep it up.
  4. Thirdwigg
    I’m ok with rockets, but can we keep it away from spacecraft. Is there a way to differentiate?
  5. Thirdwigg
    I agree. This thread brings me back to some of my favorite designs of you. Thanks for consolidating them here. I may need to do the same for my running thread.

    Is it so hard to make a tilted steering wheel?
  7. Thirdwigg
    @pleegwat see page one. It seems it is new.
  8. Thirdwigg
    I hope not. I think this new one will be a little more versatile as the scale is more in line with this more common wheel size. While white parts are ubiquitous, adding this part in red, orange, and black would go a long way.

    I quickly threw this together. Larger here. Pretty crazy if 42096 has a new arch, and we get a new arch for the Corvette.

    I am crazy in thinking those wheel arches might be a new part? The gap between them and the tires does not seem to grow as much as I would have expected from the 42056 tire. Also, looking at the 3x13 curved panel above the rear arch, the point where the flat end part meets the wheel arch is different than on 49056. Am I crazy?

    So far this may have to be the solution I go with. My hope is to push the left and right side of the grill to go up and down, but there are some complication with that. The axle coming out of the front of the car with a 12z gear on the end is the control for the gearbox: 90 degrees for each of the four speeds. I will now work to add a stepper, of which one of these four great designs will need to be used. Clockwise from top left: @Didumos69 Here @Charbel Here LEGO Technic Master's Here TLG Bugatti Chiron Here (thanks again for your photos @Jim) @steph77 did an update of version 3 that might work the best. His version is here and shows the most promise as I think I can get a non-descript lever on the front bumper. I'm open to other suggestions if you have them. I'll try adding them in tonight to see what can work.

    Just in real brick. I might do a version in LDD when I am done. The gear at the front right now is the controller, but I would like to have a stepper mechanism that selects the gears. The front of the car is the only space I have for it now. Next I am going to try some options. When I finish it, I'll let everyone know how to build it. Glad you like it.

    And we're back. I have rebuilt the chassis three times since the last post. The transmission has been moved rearward and is in and working. I settled on a mid-mounted Flat 4 engine with a four speed sequential transmission. It would have fit behind the rear axle, but then it would have become a 911. Not a bad thing, but not the goal. The HOG is in and working, as is the steering wheel. The chassis could use a little more stiffness, so I'll work on that. Generally, I like where the body work is headed. Right now I need a good changeover idea to the orange axle in the "frunk" for gearbox. I like both the Bugatti and @Charbel 919 solution, but both are a little large. I'll see if I can get them a little smaller. I have 9Wx6Lx6H to work with in the front. Any ideas would be welcome. Right now, I am using the 12z gear out the front to test functionality which looks a little clunky.

    The power boat reminds me of set 6679. Not a bad thing.
  15. Thirdwigg
    @I_Igor thanks for the shout out, and I'm glad my tipper idea was helpful for your project.
  16. Thirdwigg
    This is amazing. Such creativity, and the crane mode is bonkers. Well done.
  17. Thirdwigg
    Great job; my kind of super car. The gearbox is a new design to me. I have tried the single level gearbox before in my 911, but I like how you added a two stud height plane as this allows for a better connection between the 16 and 20 t gears. I suspect this has a little less backlash than my design. Great design, I may use it in the future.

    Cyclocross for me. And road, and MBT, pretty much anything on a bike.
  19. Thirdwigg
    Oh my goodness, that purple! Such a simple MOC, but I want it. This is so awesome. Now it just needs an opponent. Probably in teal.
  20. Thirdwigg
    Precisely.
  21. Thirdwigg
    @zoo No worries. I'm pleased with how it turned out. Boxy works for the design, and I am happy with the resulting design, and the functions I was able to incorporate.
  22. Thirdwigg
    I don't like those little engine very much. I think I found a good solution by extending the wheelbase by a stud. I'll build it, and see if I like it.
  23. Thirdwigg
    That SNOT work is great.
  24. Thirdwigg
    I know, I started seeing the MB 190E early in the design, and I tried to curve it up a little to move it another direction. Glad you like the boxy shape. I'm not great at curves. @tomek9210 I love the new clutch part.
  25. Thirdwigg
    @Seasider I know, I have a thing for flat engines. I guess I am making a signature for the company @letsbuild. If I move the engine back, I'll move it behind the axle. Otherwise it will be too tall, and it will look like this. No good. I guess being a 911 is not all bad.
