We do not see enough boats here. It's a great design. The SUV is pretty cool as well, and the red and white looks great.

Thirdwigg's MOCs
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Another small update. I have decided on the U90(408) for the MOC. The color is still to be decided. Orange or Green? The suspension is basically done, with some edits to color still needed. Power functions are placed and working, though I have not confirmed the Battery Box location. The frame still needs some stiffening, and I need to route the fake engine drive. Then off to the bodywork. TC10 will be done tomorrow, so I'll post that next. -
This turned out great. I love the size and scale. I look forward to the video. Also, those joystick controls are pretty awesome.

Thanks. I had a great time building it, and it still sits impressively in my Lego room. -

Great job. I love the Dark Bluish Grey of the chassis. -

I think I settled on the U90. That hood looks like a lot of fun. @Lox Lego The Tank is done. -

My TC10 entry is coming along nicely, but last night I spent a little time on something else. Distractions are good. It's time for me to do another Unimog, and after getting these Fischertechnic tires from ebricks.ru, I felt the time was right. I'm thinking this will be an older U90. I have not seen many of those in LEGO, but I could be convinced to do something else. -
[TC10] Classic Locomotive
Thirdwigg replied to Samer's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am liking the way this is finishing up. I like the coverings with panels and the exposed mechanics. I would go with the curve roof, as it will match the look of the train a little better. I hope the four pumps work well. -
After looking at your design a little closer, could you have the ejector plate placed under the ramp, rather than have the ejector plate be the ramp? It would mean your ejector plate would not go the full height of the interior, but it would allow you a little more space to incorporate a scissors extender.

Both garbage trucks I made used a scissors system which worked great. See what you can do to add it in to your truck.

Technic 2017 Set Discussion
Thirdwigg replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think it is a new worm gear on the Telehandler. It appears to be one stud long, with an axle going though. Could it be like a 12 tooth double bevel with a worm gear? The 2014 worm gear looks too long to fit in the space allotted. Also what is the part holding the axle between the two red 2x4 liftarms? -

Great design. I love how you added only the features you needed. It's a complex build with limited functions. Perfect. -
Axle Collection Thread
Thirdwigg replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I see. It's the length of the 5.5 axles that I am having trouble with. I'll try the bar connection idea. Thanks. -
Axle Collection Thread
Thirdwigg replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
What keeps the axles holding the wheels connected into the 12 tooth bevel gears in the differentials? The problem I am having is the wheels and axle fall off the truck going around a corner. -
Axle Collection Thread
Thirdwigg replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am trying to find a good truck drive axle solution for a 15 or 17 truck. I hope to have four rear 49.5x20 tires and wheels for the truck. I would like a differential, dual side dualies, and axles that will not pop out of the differential bevel gears. Does anyone have a working solution? Suspension and steering are not needed. -
The Rebel Wrecker was my favorite as a kid. Great recreation, and congratulations on the contest win.

[PORSCHE] Porsche 919 Hybrid
Thirdwigg replied to Charbel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
After looking through these instructions I am even more impressed with this MOC. Very well done. I'll have to make it. Maybe for TC11, should have Eurobricks members vote on the the Porsche Dream entries. I'm sure this one would finish near the top.- 69 replies
