You are automatically in the Pro category since you got that contest badge (from MT contest if I am not mistaken). But anyway, you have so much great models, that you are pro even without it :)

I am working on a same concept, for a similar truck. In these model of yours, problem may be how to supply compressed air to the cylinders that are long distanced from the base. You could use hose solution as in new Lego Mercedes truck's crane, but you (and me) are planning to use few cylinders that will shift together with the extending sections.

Ha, I have never though it would turn into the Dino-Mech! Somewhat impractical battle mode, but very very cool! :) I may say i like your idea for battle mode the best. It reminds me of Power Rangers and their Dinos :)

So, it looks like this is the biggest entry so far. I think it is better to enter the competition with the both truck and trailer, but i am not sure about the drone, as it is separate model.

Oh yeah, enforcers got themself a war rig! What to say...easy winner and crowdpleaser. And great use of Carmageddon 2 sounds :)

This is the best transformation, with medium scale model and i am amazed how good the second model looks, and all that with relatively low part count. Good work, definitelly very serious entry :)

One of the best looking entries so far! Lines are very fluid and the whole car looks very firm and tough. I am just not thrilled with the battle mode. Is it enough of the transformation? Do you plan to add something else? As pointed, doors do look a bit small and not so strong to act as a wings, for the size of the car

Thanks all for the comments! Well, it has transformable chassis, the whole two main sections of the bodywork change their location and are rotated, and few other parts of the models are transformed (fence, outriggers and system for the missile). I think it is more than, lets say for example, opening the hood or doors to reveal gun. Jim stated the following: For example: A vehicle with wheels (a car, a motorbike) that turns into a vehicle that doesn't need wheels (a plane, a helicopter, a boat, a submersible). A truck that transforms into a rocket launch site A helicopter that turns into a jet plane And: You can create a vehicle where the bodywork rises and can turn like a tank. This doesn't really make it a different vehicle, but there is a proper transformation. It does not have Technic functionality greater than the steering, simply because there was no such a requirement in the rules. I can assure you that this is not the case. I have created three sections for this model actually (truck, tracked chassis and the log cabin), as a new, never seen before, which can be confirmed on my FB page, as a wip stages. This model is designed and built specifically for this contest and main idea was, as Jim stated as example, a truck that transforms into a rocket launch site.

I am pretty confused by this moc (entry). Did you read any of the comments above?

You are prepared for some future "50 pieces or less" contest :)

Well, you wont find mistake like that on Bricklink, RIchard :)

I am also joining in ovation! :)

He can make it even double extendible fo really long blades.

Well, I like it more now, as it is more functional, works in both modes, and it has one more transformation. The model is great as is, so whatever you chose, it will look good.

You are a master for panel bodywork, and filling gaps, so I am sure you will make it great!

How about some extendible or retractable blades? Then they can be short in plane mode and long in Heli mode.

Welcome back! I saw your work on Brother Bricks, that speak for itself :) Great mocs!

Nice! Can the propeller work fine (not scraping the floor) when it is in the plane mode?

Dont give up. You have time! Mount that side car permanently and find a way to make it like it belong to the motorcycle.

Tis may be the best and most noticeable transformation, for me! Nice and effective! Great work!

Thanks all for nice comments, I did not expect so much replies :) Hi, I understand your note, but the fence is not taken off in any way, the whole fence system is packed and it has one point of attachment to the chassis. The rest of the fence is then "pulled around of the truck, but it still has its permanent point of attachment to the chassis. I think that is not against the rules. To me, it is the same as eg. crane lift its boom (manually), having one attach point to the superstructure. If I am wrong, I will change it. I can take close pictures of the fence both packed and unpacked, if needed for the clarification. Hi, no, everything is fully manual (no gears, levers) just by hands. The cabin is so heavy and the model has three chassis (two movable) and it was almost impossible to install gears and levers.

Great Unique idea, and great execution. I am just uncertain where does third wheel with minigun, and the arm with Grinder comes from. They are too big to be hidden somewhere? You know you have to have all the sections/components already on the vehicle, and not attach anything more than you already have?

Jim will open a new Voting topic, where you can cast your votes. Usually you appoint a certain number of votes to few entries you like the most. But once he opens that topic, he will explain the voting system :)

I like trucks, I like Camping, I like Tiny House movement, and I like tracks, So I wanted to combine all that into this entry: My entry for TC7 is Wasteland Self-Sufficient Survival Log Cabin Truck :) It is based onto the three main sections: 1932 Autocar DIspach SD, American Workhorse: American small Log Cabin: And small tracked missile carrier/launcher: Main sections of the model: The model is built in 1:13 and is very big (almost 60cm long) and heavy. It has Steerable front axle, via crank, and Servo motor-ready place into the chassis, At the back, under the Log Cabin, are tracks, also with 2XL motors-ready chassis, Model is fully manual, simply because it has so many movable parts and functions, It would be impossible to put so many motors and operate them properly. I was thinking long about that, but at the end I opted for manual version. The story goes like this: Our hero, Sane Min, is living peacefully in his Log Cabin in the hills, working as a woodcutter, using his trusty 1932 Truck. He was military man most of his life, and now, in this unsettling times, when Bandits and Enforces are starting conflicts, he just wants to be left alone. But conflicts are every day closer to his hills, and he has to choose side. Both sides wanted him for his military knowledge and experience. They practically forced him into the conflicts. But Sane wanted to keep his belongings so he opted for the Bandits, plus he has other benefits there, such a free movies and games. He had to move, so he decided to take all he has: A log Cabin, a Truck and his retirement gift - small tracked missile launcher. He spent 9 months buildign his ultimate surviving/battle vehicle: Normal mode - Log Cabin Truck: He can move over any terrain, thanks to his hydraulically powered tracks at the back, he can continue living and enjoying luxury many others in the Wasteland does not have, and he can enjoy it as a stealthy hill-man. Details: I tried to put as many details as possible: Truck: -Real Proportions from Autocar blueprints. -Chromed headlights -Bar and support headlights at the roof. -Hero's favorite plant and additional luggage is on the roof too. -Three grills on the hood -XL rear view mirrors -Light blue glasses all around the cabin -Cabin is curved, from 6 studs at the front of the hood, 10 at the back of the hood, 12 ath the start of the cabin, and 12 at the back of the cabin. -Doors and hood can be opened. Log Cabin: -Made entirely from Log bricks -On the sides are Tan supports -Detailed interior (removed for the weight issues), but kept for a next mod of this model :) -Red roof which has some bad, molded "tiles" in tan, gray and black color -Three different roofs -Cool windows with flowers. -Most of the roof is covered with plants that Sane loves! -Stone built chimney which connects to the stove. Battle mode: When the time come, Bandit leaders calls him, but never happened so far, it was never a good time for his weapon. Leaders know that, and they save his weapon for that proper time. Sane Min has to work long a and hard to modify his House on tracks to be able to defend the Bandits. He has to install a fence, outriggers, three different but connected chassis, missile holders and lifters. Functions: 1. Outriggers are extended 2. Outriggers are deployed 3. Fence is spread 4. Three chassis are placed in the right angle, thus: 5. Truck Cabin is lifted 6. Log Cabin is lifted 7. Missile is lifted and ready to launch. 8. Front wheels can steer 9. All doors can be open 10. Hood can be open to reveal the engine. 11. Log Cabin has interior, but that is for another moc (peaceful)
