I thought that I'd share a little MOC I put together a while ago, the jeep from one of my favorite movies, The original Jurassic Park. Front View The front was the trickiest part to pull off, I wanted it to look as close as possible to the original jeep and so i had to put a side mounted number plate and also make the entire sides of the jeep half of a stud off the rest of it to make the cheese slope stick over the bumper the right amount! The bonnet Up until the windscreen, this thing is crazy accurate and looks like a jeep, I'm quite proud of the bonnet also. The back side of the jeep Definitely not as good as the front half. I hope you liked it Columbus

Here's my latest creation, and yes it's another sports car. Yay! I wanted to have another go at building a small RC Sports Car, but this time loosely based around a 2009 corvette. This car is wide and low so I was expecting it to be a challenge. I also wanted to use some of the ideas from my other models, such as the L motor setup in the Mini Truck. Features - 2x L motors at 1:3 - 1x Servo - functional doors, boot & hood - battery access under dashboard - working front lights - 36Lx17Wx10H (chassis, in studs) - 804g Like the mini truck, the two L motors make this car move! The extra width seems to give it some extra traction as well. Design wise it isn't perfect, but I did the best with what I had available. Hope you like it. EDIT: Video is up!

About 5 years ago, rumours were around hinting at a new supercar positioned between the 911 and 918 Spyder. Some dubbed it the "914.5", coming from the mean of the two model numbers. Unfortunately, such a car hasn't yet arrived, and I plan to solve that problem. This will be the true "Dream Porsche", taking features from both the 918 Spyder and the 911 Targa. It will combine the hybrid all-wheel drive and 4-wheel steering of the 918 with the iconic rear-mounted flat-6 engine and roof of the Targa. Here are my definite features: Flat-6 engine mounted in rear 8-speed paddle-shifting manual gearbox (connected to piston engine, driving rear) Fake electric motors "driving" the front and rear (as in the 918) Full independent suspension with camber angle, castor angle and adjustable ride-height (independent adjustment for each wheel). Not sure where the ride-height controls will be - probably under the front hood. 4-wheel steering (as in the 918) operated by the steering wheel. Opening hood and locking doors. 2 seats inside. Folding roof modelling the 911 Targa's mechanism. Here are features that I might add if I have enough space and parts: Brakes - not sure how these would be operated if they get added. A PF Large motor and battery box to drive the front axle. Like the 918, the front is single-speed. Unfortunately, the only RC stuff I have is MINDSTORMS, which would be too bulky for this. Opening rear revealing the engine. The car will be 1:10 scale - considerably smaller than the 911 GT3 RS from LEGO. I haven't started building yet - I still need to add a couple of finishing touches on my current build. However, most of the "technologies" (such as an 8-speed gearbox and adjustable suspension) already exist in my current build, so this will likely be finished by mid-July. UPDATE 1 (03/07/2016): Paddle-shifting mechanism and steering wheel mount Having dismantled my previous build, I have built this compact steering wheel mount with an integrated paddle shifter. The two levers on either side of the steering wheela are paddle-shifters. They shift when pushed inwards. Here is a side view: Each paddle makes a lever move downwards and hit the cross-shaped element. I initially used a knob wheel, but it was too small for the lever to make it advance far enough. When the lever extends, the cross rotates about 75 degrees before the lever blocks it from going any further. When the paddle is released, the lever retracts and allows the cross to rotate the final 15 degrees. The paddles have rubber bands to make them return to their original position when released. The part with the wedge-belt wheels can slide a short distance. It too has rubber bands - this makes the cross "snap" to the nearest 90 degrees and provides the turning force for the final 15 degrees of rotation. There is also a universal joint - this is connected to the steering wheel. -
The Aston Martin RB 001, is a Hyper-car designed in partnership with Red Bull racing and Aston Martin. The performance figures have not even been set in stone yet, but claims are being made that it will lay down LMP1 lap times, and sport a V12 in the middle of this beauty of engineering. also expected is a Track only version which will push it even further, F1 times being the targets for that version. weather it lives up to the hype or not there is no denying that beauty of it's styling. (photo of the car: http://blog.caranddr...03-876x535.jpg) this Lego version is just as sleek and impressive as the real thing. and an extreme amount of care went into this model both replicating as many features as possible and the spirit of the vehicle. i spent several days refining the lines and adjusting almost every part of the car to include as many of the vents, ducts, and other extreme body work details as i could fit in a 6wide+ car. and at a mere 16 studs long and 3.33 bricks tall it is one of my smallest city scale cars to date. but that's not what you are here for you want to see the car so lets get to it! So from this angle you can see just how sleek it is, very few breaks on body line, and everything swoops back in attempt to follow the real cars tear drop lines. (note, the raised rear wing, in this image) the Dramatic side vents are a bit tough to see being black on black, but the lighting on this angle shows just how deep some of the cuts are in the body work. (also wing in its down position, which i find so elegant and is my preferred position for it) rear view of the car, there is very little hear as the body lines pull high to the wing and only a lower lip at the break lights to allow for minimal drag and maximum down-force on the read of the car. top view of the near stud-less car, not a lot to see from this angle that hasn't been shown already and lastly a comparison shot (slightly blurry i hadn't noticed till i was posting it here, will try to re shoot that at a later time) Thanks, for taking a look, and i welcome any and all feed back on this model, I'm probably not done with it myself yet, but its 95% the way it will likely stay. hope you liked it!

Hi, as I'm going to to build some scenes from the Harry Potter movies for the Lego Fanwelt Event next year in Cologne, Germany, I began with planning these two magical vehicles: The Weasley's Flying Ford Anglia and the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. So here's a rendering of the LDD models: Magical vehicles from Harry Potter by Vaionaut I hope you like them ;) Best Vaionaut

Hi there, Hope everyone is having fun building cranes for TC8. This MOC was created as I'd just bought the horrifically expensive rechargeable battery box from the LEGO shop, and I wanted to incorporate it into a build. I decided to build something compact, and the below picture is the result. This chassis was designed around the new MX5 convertible at 1:12.5 scale. While it's very simple, I'm quite proud of the fact that I managed to fit all the power functions into it, while keeping it to scale. The height of the car (not including seats and windscreen) needed to be a maximum of 8 studs. The turning circle is tight on the car as well. I then tried to build the body, and this is where things became a lot harder and more frustrating. The build is OK, but nothing great. I wanted to use more panels, but I found them bulky and quite unwieldy for a model this size. The car is also a bit blocky and dense, maybe using flex axles through the body would be better? I don't know. The model has nothing fancy, only the doors open and close and power functions (L motor, servo, Battery & IR receiver) which steer and move the car. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I am proud to present you my very first LEGO car that I have built and I am quite pleased with the outcome and had a lot of fun building this fancy cabriolet. If you want to see more pictures, including the details in the cockpit, they can be found on my ImperiumDerSteine album. Fancy Custom Sportscar by Jonas Obermaier, on Flickr Feedback is really appreciated, since I am a begginer in building LEGO cars! Jonas

Location: E03, Ertauq Tags: Land Vehicle, Vehicle, Job: Driver Start Log: I got to try out a MANTIS vehicle prototype this week, and what a car it is! Rugged, fast, powerful, and able to handle some moderately rough terrain. It also packs some hidden weaponry: And unlike Octan vehicles, it's easy to pilot. Thanks for looking

I need suggestion with my car. I have images below of what I have so far. A few questions. What springs should I use. Hard or soft? What wheels or tires? And I need ideas on how to complete it. So far my axle has working steering and a driveshaft connected. I don't know what to do next as I am a new technic builder. If any more information or pictures are needed please tell me :) Images: http://imgur.com/a/QbhXw -
The Koenigsegg One:1 was introduced in 2014. Seven examples, including one prototype, were built during 2014 and 2015. This was one of the most exclusive production car programs ever envisaged in the car industry. The hp-to-kg curb weight ratio is an astonishing 1:1. This has been called the “dream” equation, previously thought impossible when it comes to fully road legal and usable sports cars. The One:1 is the first homologated production car in the world with one Megawatt of power, thereby making it the world´s first series produced Megacar. More on the One:1 at http://koenigsegg.com/one1/ This car grabbed my attention about a year ago so I decided to try to build it. The design parameters that I want to achieve include the following: Replicate the rear triplex suspension set up of the Koenigsegg One:1 as closely as possible Replicate the front suspension set up Syncro dihedral door hinges which are typically Koenigsegg Paddle shift gearbox - a new challenge for me. A good approximation of the real car with the bodywork. Tough enough to withstand my young three year old playing with it. Intuitive enough for my kids to explore the functions. After a long build process and lots of experimentation I am really happy with the end result. The paddle shift gear box ended up being 3 speed plus reverse mainly due to space restrictions and also complexity. Perhaps a future project will be to expand this concept to include additional gears. The paddle shifts at the steering wheel are aesthetic in that they are linked to the actual manual shifters which are camouflaged on top of the dashboard, but it is not really possible to exert enough force on the dash paddles to change gear. This is presented in the images below and in the CAD image. Over time I will digitise this and add a bit of video to show the functions, but first, here are some pictures. [TBC] -
Using creator set 3012: Blue Racer, I created four of my own alternate models. It was a lot of fun! x24Hrs is made to look like a number of the road hugging racing car styles. Sport* is made to look like a sporty two-seater to take out for a drive on a nice day or a track day. . Boost was just for a little fun. Make something that looks like it can go fast. Photos are a bit poor, but as they were essentially table-scrap builds I just snapped pics with my phone before taking them apart and trying again. I must have built about 12 different things and these three were my favourite successful builds. A "fail" was something I did not like the final look of, couldn't get to "work" with what I was aiming for in building, or something just too fragile to stay together. So there we go.

Jake Raines is out in the desert seeking a rumoured lost Sphinx. He has a tough car to track through the near non-existent roads and shifting sands. So, I bought a mostly complete Rise of the Sphinx on eBay and haven't got around to sorting the parts yet. I whipped together this car from what was in the bag of parts. I like the challenge of limits to parts. I think this came out all right. It's also my first build in ages, most of my collection is awaiting the completion of my LEGO space... On closer inspection, it looks like I need to give these parts a good dust!

Hi Here is my dream Porsche. It features and combines 3 of my favorite things of Porsche: The front V8 TT engine and front bumper of Panamera Turbo S The 911 shape The RSR look and feel The result is this. Hope you (and judges ) like it Features. 1:10 Scale RWD and Fake V8 engine 4 Speed Gearbox with remote stick Independent suspension in the 4 wheels Working Steering Wheel (No HOG) Openable hood and doors (With lock system) Adjustable seats with gears Big Spoiler (Like the RSR models) Miscellaneous things like hand bag, lights etc. *Surprise feature* Removable V8 engine and transmission like a car About the last feature, well, I'll show it later in another pics and video. (I haven't had time to take more pics) Here are the pics of the last feature Making this function was the most difficult of the model, because it must be work smooth in every gear and I must find the proper joint points in the gearbox to the chassis. Also it must be easy to remove without bending or forcing the rest of the car. After many tests, I achieved it. More pics of the car This photo scream for the bigger Steering wheel (Sadly I don't have it yet) More pics and video will come soon The full gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/137229326@N08/albums/72157668154949314 Video. The car was completed some days ago, but I decided to post it as my 100 post here, in the greatest Lego community

So, a long time ago, I decided, on a whim, to make a small, fast car. Inspired by Mahjqa's Ice9 racer, I built something similar, but with 5 years of parts advances, namely the L and servo motor. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr it is similarly compact, but I was not able to make a nice shell for it, and lost interest in the project. As a matter of fact, this just goes to show that I don't really like fast things. Controlling them indoors, in a tiny apartment, on carpet, is a pain in the rear. Not helping is the fact that using stock PF outside is impossible, and then you have control delay, which all in all makes the experience no fun, at least for me. Maybe if I had an Sbrick... Anyway, let's go into some technical details. My version uses an L motor for propulsion, and due to the new diff, has a slightly lower gear ratio,3.57:1 vs 5:1 on Ice9. However, the rpm at the wheels is actually faster, due to the speed of the L motor, 971 vs 730 on Ice9. You do need quite a run up to use that speed, however. Because of the servo and L motor having more mounts, I was able to use them, as well as the battery pack, as stressed members. The chassis is quite floppy without the battery box, in fact. But hey, it adds lightness. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr Versus the above view, there is not really a whole lot to see that's different on the bottom view, but most people want it. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr The gears are braced on all sides, there is no way for them to skip. There is no way for axles to walk out, for that matter. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr Steering lock is good, there are no restrictions, or chassis rubbing. And, of course, my inspiration. Ice Nine views by mahjqa, on Flickr I might be able to build small, but I sure can't do stylish designs, or photography, like Mahjqa can. I also have an .LXF file, it has a canopy, which is optional. It will also be posted to Rebrickable, and I will add that link when it is moderated. LXF:http://www.brickshel...Ideas/ice18.lxf Rebrickable:http://rebrickable.com/mocs/Saberwing/ice18 Thanks for viewing. P.S. There is not going to be a video, there isn't really anything to show, and I need the servo for a project that's a contest entry. -
I have begun to plan out a MOC I have been wanting to do: a UCS Mach 5! And, I am going to include ALL 7 abilities! I will try to find a way to put in the jacks, homing drone, tire treads, red headlights, blades, bullet prof protection, and periscope. This is where I will be posting my progress as well as asking for suggestions.

Hey there. I use to build small scale vehicles but I always wanted to build a large scale one, and finally decided to go ahead with that idea. However, I'm new with such a big scale and even before actually building something, I'm already stuck. I would like to know if could you help me building a solid base/ chassis for my vehicle. I already have searched on the web for a few ideas but i can't find anything, and the few large scale LEGO sets vehicles I own seem too basic on the bottom, so I would like to ask you if could you share pictures of large scale vehicles you might have built so I can take a few ideas from it. I'm looking for something like this MOC made by the MOCpages user Austin Nomorinfo, that allows a few bottom details, however this and the other vehicles he shared pictures of the bottom seem to be really confusing: (http://mocpages.com/moc.php/295567) Thanks for your help. -
Mercedes W123 Coupé
roxXx5 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello fellow brickers, today i want to introduce you into a new MOC i've started to build at the beginning of august. It's a Mercedes W123 coupé. The reason for me to build this car was one of my co-workers drives one and every once in a while he takes me for a ride in this beauty. But enough about the story behind. Here are some technical features. Power Functions: - 2L-motors for driving - 1M-motor for steering - 1M-motor for shifting gears Drivetrain and suspension: - fully independend suspension - ackermann geometry - kingpin inclination - casterangle - 3-Speed gearbox - RWD with differential - working straight 4 fake engine - working steering wheel Bodywork: - openable doors, bonnet and trunk I tried to upload at least 2 more pictures here but it won't let me do this.... so here is a link to mocpages for you: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/419387 Thank you all for watching.

Hey guys , after waiting two months to get all the parts , everything I need for my Classic Arkham Batmobile has arrived . In my mind I’m still calling this a WIP , as there still remain some changes to be made , but they are really small and subtle , so I decided to post it as it is ( and maybe post a V1.1 later ) . As I’m sure you can imagine , one of these changes is changing the colour of the two “road signs” on the roof of the car to black . Unfortunately , these parts don’t come in black , so I’ll paint them ( I don’t love the idea anymore than you do , but I think the parts fit in perfectly and they look inaccurate being grey and brown ). I am also playing with the idea of adding stickers to give the model that extra bit of accuracy , specifically on the "6005" parts in front of the rear wheels . Finally , what’s a Batmobile without Batman ? I knew , from the moment I started building this that I had to get a custom Arkham series Batman minifig to go along with it . And when I tumbled upon onlinesailin’s Arkham City Batman, I was amazed by the astonishing level of detail, the amazing resemblance to the iconic suit, everything . Thanks “onlinesailin”, for the best minifigure out there , this moc wouldn't be the same without it . Now, I’m sure you came here to see a Batmobile, not read boring details, so here are some pictures . Now let me get that explosive gel ... I really hope you liked my build , please comment your opinion and/or constructive criticism . Thanks for viewing :)

Here's my entry into the Expand the Winter Village contest. I chose to build a sporting goods store selling everything from winter apparel, to snowboards and skis. The shop has a light brick that lights up the showcase window, and the car features opening doors and trunk. I tried to keep it very similar in size, and complexity to an official Winter Village set. Brick's Sporting Goods is a very popular store year round, but especially in the winter. Come inside and buy a new snowboard, visit the hot chocolate and cookie vendor's stall outside, and then enjoy a day of fun in the snow. See more pictures here: link Thanks for looking

Hi Everyone, For some months I have been working on a realistic looking "not so super" car. Actually it is my real life car, I tried putting both much functionality and also good in aesthetics. Here is a photo of real life image of Ford Focus I "focused", (photo is not my car, my is 5door hatchback in dark gray) Nope, it is not orange, LEGO lacks many things in orange but as Blakbird says white is new red, so I made it in white. Still there are many pieces lacking in white so I had to use many black pieces from my inventory. Now it looks like a panda unfortunately. I hope you enjoy it. Features: * Common Expectations from a (Super) Car: Independent Suspension, 5+R gearbox, working steering wheel, HOG steering, fake engine * Handbrake / 2WD / All WD switch, fake engine is tied to front wheels * Openable doors, back trunk, front hood + sunroof * Realistic accessories: side mirror, back mirror, glovebox (?), console "middle of seats arm putting thing / small box" (what is this called in english?), fake air conditioners and its control panel, fake stereo system * Around 2stud suspension travel * Custom front axle with some geometry I honestly dont know its names, I know it has Ackermann steering and kingpin incline:) idea is from here, check post #8 and #13 * NO RC Link to all screenshots: Ford Focus Second Gen Glovebox thing, sorry it is black and hardly visible there Handbrake's special switch to activate 2WD/AWD and also handbrake (by locking the middle differential to force on with different direction turning, technically prevents wheels turning = handbrake ) That "thing" I have been mentioning about the middle seat box. Console and you can also see the handbrake's link going back. Idea is almost same with the new gokart set. Dead simple sunroof, opens by manual lifting, no technic stuff. Front axle, idea from this thread: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=74356 check post #8 and #13 Finally the bottom of car and interior with a different angle to show "fake" stereo and air conditioner controls I hope you like it, Things I dont like: * It is white, I really wanted to make it orange, perhaps after Porsche set is out I will have a chance to convert it to orange. * Front is ugly, if you have a different idea about the front hood and lights, I appreciate. * I could not put the fog lights on front, I want to put them for completeness, again problem of the front * Interior is messy to make the sunroof and also the angular back, it is not really visible unless you look for them (no photo of it hehe). interior is like the arm of 42042 :) * To make the angular view, I used some angles which Lego does not like, no stress is made but as you see not all beams look connected directly. Hint: 15L white beam over the rear wheel is actually completing a 15x1 triangle * to LEGO: Why you not make #4 connector and #6538c on white common !!! Cheers -
Hi folks, I present to you the smallest technic truck ever.. Any comments on the build and advice to upgrade this moc are welcome... I tought a "little joke" most be possible... :grin: :grin: -
Now a Lego Ideas Project! Please Support by voting at: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/65675 "Your precious armory, gratefully accepted! We will need it." - Bane The Dark Knight Trilogy by Christopher Nolan gave us a fresh and realistic reboot of the Caped Crusader, and with it many of Batman's iconic vehicles. These are my renditions of the Tumblers in camouflage versions, reproduce with lego bricks in 2 seaters minifig scale and staying as close to the original movie design as best I can. The base design of these of course are similar to my Tumbler and Bat Pod project. Each Tumbler measures about 19cm(L) x 12cm(W) All three versions have been faithfully recreated: The original Camo Tumbler, the Tumbler with a Turret/Cannon and the Tumbler with a Missile Launcher. In this case, only the original Camo Tumbler can be a 2 seater as the other 2 versions both have a weapon occupying the space where the passenger seat will be. Both the Turret and the Missile Launcher can be retracted to an inactive position. The set can be launched as a single camouflage tumbler with additional parts for the other 2 alternate builds. The set can also include different variations of Bane's outfits as seen in the movie. Now a Lego Ideas Project! Please Support by voting at: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/65675

Hello! this is the first MOC that I've made. It is a box car with the color scheme of red and black (because I made it with pieces from the Hobby Train 10183). Here it is: It is a bit longer than the hazardous waste car from set 3677: As you can see, I crammed a battery box, I/R receiver and lights which turns out to be a mess of wires. So it has a remote-controlled red light in the back that sadly, is not blinking like it is supposed to :(. I also put some detail into the railing and a brake "wheel": So, that concludes my first MOC! I'm open to any suggestions that anyone has to improve it!
