Charbel

Thank you ! That cover picture was so fun to do. Thank you ! The purple does look slightly different, the lighting and the photo processing must have something to do with it.

After 5 long days of work, the instructions are available : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-11816/Charbel/the-mean-machine/

I think that Sheepo had actually made something very similar 6 years ago :

Thanks @evortigosa and @Aanchir !

Congrats @Leonard Goldstein ! That was an amazing contest, congratulations to all !

Why doesn't Nico have the Pro tag ?

I think @Jim may be waiting for the "judges" to vote before closing the contest.

I have added the MOC to Lego Ideas : https://ideas.lego.com/projects/110e289b-d76d-45b2-bd7f-33fdad296b3f I did it because some people asked, I'm not sure that it will reach the goal and be approved though.

I have uploaded some WIP pictures if you are interested : https://www.flickr.com/gp/143412814@N02/vXc3VW

Since some parts aren't available in the right color, I did a quick render :

Look at those ! https://brickset.com/article/31213/brickheadz-competition-winners That's an amazing coincidence ! I need to build these asap to sit next to the car

Yeah that is it, the car that was always cheating but never won a race Hopefully this model will cost you a bit less if you build it.

Family time Is there anyone interested by building instructions ?

Oh, it wasn't meant to you. I was speaking more generally. Thank you ! That is exactly what "wacky" means to me.

Guys, we are here for fun not about winning. Thank you !

Thank you ! I know that the wacky function can be considered as too simple but I found the idea funny so I tried it. C'mon there is so much better. @kodlovag entry is on another level. Saw that yesterday, they somehow managed to share it before I uploaded the video and created this topic haha. Anyway, it is up to to the voters to consider if this creation is in the sprit of the contest, or not.

20. The Mean Machine This is my participation to the TC12 contest ! I was definitely not planning to participate but as I was looking for some ideas across Google Images, I saw the Mean Machine and instantly saw a possible use of the 42069 wheel arches. So it all started with these wheel arches and adapted the scale to it. There is obviously propulsion and direction with a removable HoG. So let me introduce you the wacky fonction : folding propellers to fly over the other participants !

Thanks you all for you comments ! I was definitely not expecting that much of interest. Yeah, that's true. But it was so hard to have a steering and the wacky function squeezed in that small place. Yup, you're right and I knew it will be pointed out. But as I said, I wasn't planning to participate first. This contest gave me this idea and I tried to execute it, I'm not here for the win, I just want to share a creation. If some of you do not find it relevant for the contest, I can totally understand that. Merci !

So this my participation to the TC12. I was definitely not planning to participate but as I was looking for some ideas across Google Images, I saw the Mean Machine and instantly saw a possible use of the 42069 wheel arches. So it all started with these wheel arches and adapted the scale to it. I didn't had a lot of time to work on it though, the school is taking more and more time, and the only time available was the Friday nights and a few hours on the weekends. So I started with the cabin and then worked on the rear reactor. It took me quite a few tries to get the scale right and something that looks good. I manage to find a simple build with the mini panels. The wacky function was the hardest part of the whole build, I must have spent more than 10 hours to get it right. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with the final result. There is obviously propulsion and direction with a removable HoG. So let me introduce you the wacky fonction : folding propellers to fly over the other participants ! Instead of some complex explanations, I advise you to see the video to understand how it works.

I'm participating ! I managed to build something while having a lot of school work and I must be 60% done. Do you like dark purple ?

Woaaa so cool to see my gearbox in such an amazing MOC ! If you need a gearbox for your next MOC it would be a pleasure to work together to create a custom one.

Yeah, I like to under saturate a bit, I actually tend to do that on my pictures : I'll take note of the cropped layers for the next instructions. Thank you ! I really care about having a clean and optimized build, but since I'm not as experienced as some of you, it really takes me a lot of time to achieve the result I'm looking for.

Thanks @Leonardo da Bricki Thank you ! I really wanted to improve lightning since the Porsche instructions, so I bought 2 soft boxes. The instructions have to be downloaded from Rebrickable, you can't preview them since the file is too big.
