42151 - Bugatti Bolide
weavil replied to Maaboo the Witch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I love the look of it, the functions, and the new panels. But with your renders it looks like a Technic version of a Speed Champions car, or is it just me? -
[WIP] MCI D4500CT Commuter Coach
weavil replied to JLiu15's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This look nice and very big. I think the tires will be fine. The 62.4x20 tires are pretty stiff so weight shouldn't be an issue. Their rims also come in metallic silver (from set 8285) which I plan to get as they'll match the metallic silver "stainless steel" sides well. They definitely won't be cheap though... The tires should be fine, however, the flex/play of the axles might an issue. -

That's a really clever setup. How much weight do you think it will hold? -

I think the Bollide looks great and has all those small panels! I hope I got the money to get one next year. -

On my helicopter, I want to put landing bars. What would be the best way as the weight is concerning. -
[WIP] Generic Helicopter
weavil replied to weavil's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have been busy, but have some progress to the build. The linkage was a problem with slop and/or function. Rebuilt, modified, or prayed to the goat gods, but I prevailed and I think I got most of the kinks out. I got the tail and linkage worked out and then the rest started to fall into place. Here was the first tail idea. Here was the start tail and the rotor. Here is the tail. This is the controls out. And in the helicopter. The redesign. The swashplate and doors. And the tail adjustment axles. -

Thank you. I should have hooked up the air compressor to it so I wouldn't need to pump so much and the functions would work quicker. -
Great detail! I love the builds of old vehicles.

Update on progress. Redesigned the linkage, connection points for them, and started on the tail rotor. Here are a couple of tail rotor concepts. -

Thank you. I have been working on refinements, tweaks, and adjustments. The video was just a rough draft when I posted. Might post updates of it tomorrow. -
Building a huge Liebherr L586
weavil replied to onzenuub's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The size is so impressive. It's the size of the hydraulic RC models. great work so far. -
I figured It was time to make a helicopter and with the hype about the 42145 currently. (Like efferman's custom parts.) Plus I had the blades sitting here for almost two years. This is not any special make or model. It so far has I have a rotor top, cyclic, collective, and rudder peddles. I used, for now, a modified setup that efferman made; But so far I feel good about the progress. https://www.bricksafe.com/pages/weavil/2022/helicopter-wip

Iveco S-Way R
weavil replied to MCD's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like the work on the detail, nice and clean. Looks ready to go racing. Now you need a small Clarkson doll to drive it. -

I don't have those, but do have https://rebrickable.com/parts/32003/tyre-688-x-24/. I did consider them, however I wanted a larger scale. Plus I don't have a massive inventory or money to buy the needed parts, so I try with what I got.
