Hello All, Today I am presenting my WIP Pneumatic Car Transporter. I hope to build a truck like this one: I hope to include: HOG steering a working V6 engine opening doors many pneumatically raised and lowered (platforms?) Here is what I have in LDD so far, and IRL the body is almost complete. Please tell me what you think of it so far. Thank you! -
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. -
I know that Lego Robot Wars has been enacted in the past, by one or two people from what I have seen, but is there enough interest in the UK for me or someone else to organise a small competition? There is enough local interest (Gloucester area) to build an arena and get some competitors together and I just wondered if anyone else would fancy joining in? We've drafted some rules, mostly to do with weight, size and obeying the ref, and so I'm just putting the idea out there for others.

Hello All, Today I present my entry to the Porsche contest on rebrick. I am waiting on a Bricklink order to improve this model's aesthetics and then I will post better images. The model has: Steering Front and rear spoilers An interior Roll bars Fake brake calipers, and a working mini V8 engine . NEW: The engine is now a flat 6 and the doors open. There is more coming soon... Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

For the past two months I've been building my entry for the Enforces vs. Bandits competition, and it has finally arrived! Enforcers - Valuable Transport My source of inspiration is an actual valuable transport truck that I once saw driving over the Dutch highways: which led me to think: how cool would it be to hide some sort of advanced weaponry in there and have it fold open? First I thought about folding open the container, but in the end it's the entire truck that folds open. Also, the weapons I envisioned were different from what they have become, but the main idea is still there. So, the specs: Manual functions First of all, three of the four axles have steering. The third axle is idle, but has double tyres. I used the same steering linkage as D3K did in his Midi-scale pneumatic crane truck (with his permission), but I reinforced it, sacrificing some ground clearance. Another feature is that the doors of the cabin can open. Electric functions The truck houses the normal battery box driving an M motor. This drives a gearbox that operates three functions: transformation rotating the turrets raising/lowering the guns Transformation Getting the transformation to work was the biggest challenge. The entire sides of the truck are panels that are hinged at the bottom. Via a worm gear system they are deployed outwards. Also, the seats will rotate so that they face the weaponry, so that the driver can operate them. Because of the weight of the side panels, transforming back into transport mode takes well over a minute... Armament In battle mode, the truck shows two turrets carrying two guns, having three bullets each (making the total ammo 12). Via the gearbox the turrets can rotate together, and the guns can be raised. A spring-loaded mechanism is used to shoot. No specialized parts have been used, except the standard dark-gray 9.5L springs from set 8880. Shooting is done manually by rotating the knob wheels. The bullets are white 1x5 beams. Here's a computer image of all the functions. And, of course, the video. -

Battle of the Brick flicks takes LEGO animators: Brotherhood Workshop, Forestfire 101, Filmyguy, Fancypants, Spastik Chuwawa, Keshen8, David Pickett, Barati Productions, MindGame Studios, ZachFBStudios and more to compete in a head to head weekly competition to battle it out for an amazing prize - the Brickademy Award. Who will take it all? Only you decide. Check out the video and cast your vote. We will be interviewing animators so if you have a question, post it and we'll ask. -
Here is my first model for the TRIPLE contest Granted, not particularly original. Features -openable doors -tiltable cab -ackerman steering geometry -inline-4 engine -pneumatic lifting rear axle -pneumatic tipping bed It measures in at roughly 550 pieces in LDD, sans the pneumatic stuff. I could get it below 500 by removing the engine and it's driveline and attachment, if 550 is too many pieces I haven't decided on the two remaining models, but have a couple of ideas that are more original than a simple truck -
This is my entry to the Winter Village competition to expand the Winter Village Market. I figured that as there's a carousel, there should be another ride too, so I present to you my Winter Village Ferris Wheel. UPDATE: the gondolas are now different colours/colors, I've also added a circular backing to it, changed the way they're attached, and added a bit more detail (including a little tree!). Oh and the photos I've taken are better too UPDATE 2: There's now photos of it displayed as part of my Winter Village layout on my Flickr account here. Fitting perfectly on a 16x16 plate, everyone who goes to the Winter Village Market wants to go on the Ferris Wheel! The lady patiently waits her turn as the girl pays for her go (things are expensive in the Winter Village Market!) The attendant takes the girl's money as the lady makes her way into the pod. A side view of the Ferris Wheel. The back of the Ferris Wheel, just to confirm it does fit on 16x16. The wheel turns easily, with the pods hanging freely from it. Larger photos can be found on Flickr here. It's the first time I've done a Winter Village scene of my own, so I hope you like it. Please feel free to ask any questions, and thanks for looking!

To possibly aid The Lego Group's Technic Designers in selecting the "Top 10" Finalists for the 2012 Lego Technic Competition, here are the top vote-getters in the 7-part Eurobricks poll (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, and Part 7). Since the images of the various entries might be taken offline in ~1 day (when the Competition ends at midnight on December 31, 2012 Central European Time), please select those entries below which you believe should be in TLG's "Top 10" Finals. Your selections will remain private. The results of this poll are non-binding, and only serve to (possibly) help TLG see which kinds of models AFOLs prefer. There were many excellent entries that complied with the Official Rules. Before you vote in this poll, there are factors to consider. As stated on this Competition webpage, "The Jury will select ten finalists from amongst all the submissions based on the following criteria: • Overall coolness • Inspired design details • Design that people will purchase • A great colour scheme • Buildable using existing LEGO Technic elements • Well thought out functions • The relationship between your age and your design" "We will do our very best to follow your design as closely as possible. However, we have to make sure that: • We can manufacture the colours you suggest • Others can build the final model and we can create easy to follow building instructions • Your design can be built using existing LEGO Technic elements • The final model is safe to play with • The frame and mechanics of the 4X4 Crawler, model no 9398, will support your design" "Between the first and the tenth of January 2013 the LEGO Technic Jury will select the Top 10 candidates that you can vote for online using your LEGO ID – your vote will go toward determining which of the Top 10 is to be produced and launched! The Top 10 candidates must accept to transfer all intellectual property rights as outlined below [see webpage]. The LEGO Group will contact the Top 10 candidates directly. Online voting opens on 09 February and closes on 22 February. The winning design will be announced on 22 February 2013. Our design team will work together with the competition winner to develop and build the winning version of the LEGO Technic 4x4 Crawler. The winning design will be produced in a limited edition of 20,000 and will be available online for pre-order from 1 July 2013 at http://shop.lego.com/ ." "Dates to remember • 31 December 2012 – Last chance to upload your design! • 9 January 2013 – Short List announced by the LEGO Technic Jury • 22 January 2013 – Last chance to vote for your favourite short-listed design! • 22 February 2013 – The winner is announced! • 22 March 2013 – Online Presentation of the completed 4x4 Crawler special build • 01 July 2013 – Pre-orders open! • 01 August 2013 – Official worldwide launch of the winning 4x4 Crawler design" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getters from the Part 1 Poll) MarkusOSX's skull offroader -- http://technic.us.le...oldest&index=53 : hrontos' blue Sharkwler -- http://technic.us.le...oldest&index=75 : LandRoverTechnic's Land Rover -- http://technic.us.le...oldest&index=94 : Crazy_1993's black-and-white safari truck -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=147 : hrontos' green-and-yellow tractor -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=149 : hrontos' Quad Bike -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=172 : hrontos' great white shark -- http://technic.us.le...oldest&index=85 : efferman's black panel truck -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=107 : MarkusOSX's blue-and-white offroader -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=134 : VFracingteam's double-headed Dakar Monster Truck -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=146 : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getters from the Part 2 Poll) efferman's Cobra snake offroader -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=253 : rm88's black offroader -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=298 : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getter from the Part 3 Poll) idkwhoyouare's red Jeep -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=374 : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getter from the Part 4 Poll) solic's Light Bluish Grey offroader with satellite dish on roof -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=481 : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getters from the Part 5 Poll) idkwhoyouare's black offroader with black brush guard -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=498 : timtimgo87's orange offroader -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=533 : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getters from the Part 6 Poll) rumpletump's yellow offroader -- http://technic.us.le...=latest&index=9 : FCorreia/ Conchas' blue Dunechaser -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=591 : technicsupercars' yellow Jeep -- http://technic.us.le...ldest&index=640 : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (Top vote-getter from the Part 7 Poll) rm88's The Boss musclecar offroader -- http://technic.us.le...latest&index=71 :

Here is a message I got from rm8 (whose "The Boss" creation is leading the 2012 Lego Technic Competition): "Hello, David, "I see that crazy1993's moc have many its fans. I also disappointed that rules are so simple and we have different promotion of model. I will be glad if Lego will try to make 2 in 1 or even 3 in 1 set with top 2 or top3 voters entrys. Sure it is possible to fit at least 2 in 1 set in one box, of course after some optimization of creation, especially crazy1993's.I'm sure that will be very good news for fans and voters. All top3 models deserve that:) "Can you make a pool with such question and voting (one winner, two winners 2in1 set, 3 winners 3in1 set) We have to make it public, before TLG announce the winner. I will support you topic. "Thanks" -- rm8 So, if you look at these Top 3 vote-getting designs, is it possible (or desirable) to make a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 set? Your poll answers will remain private; you can pick more than one answer. I realize that it's VERY LATE for a proposal like this (with only 10 hours left for the Official Voting), but here is an attempt to get feedback. Thanks. CURRENTLY WITH 1,498 VOTES -- rm8's "The Boss": CURRENTLY WITH 982 VOTES -- crazy_1993's "Highway Enforcer": CURRENTLY WITH 141 VOTES -- hrontos' Quad Bike:

Well, I've had this thing in a good state of WIP for some time, so I may as well share it. I'm really motivated right now, because of the fact that I missed out on pretty much every competition between TC5 and now. I came close to entering TC6, but didn't enter TC7 due to lack of motivation, and same thing for TC8. So, I am back, with a vengeance. My entry is a five axle truck. Its loosely based on my [TRIPLE] contest entry, or at least the truck part, but this model is an improvement in every way. The steering works better, the engine works better, and now the chassis sports a lift axle. That middle part was quite difficult to design, but I ultimately got it right, after 3 revisions. The two rear axles drive a fake six cylinder engine, which works far better than the old truck with its V8. The steering, as I mentioned, has been dramatically improved. It still uses Ackerman correction, but the actuation is accomplished by levers and Pitman arms versus the complicated and difficult to use gearbox and racks of the old truck. Getting the two axles to turn at different angles was quite a difficult process, but I found a solution that is robust and simple, after about 4 revisions and a few hours of frustrated facepalming. The truck is not quite finished, but when it is, the chassis will be the same for both A and B models. This solution, I feel, is a bit more suited for this competition than having to rebuild the whole model. Instead, part of the model will be rebuilt, in the form of two attachments to the truck, using the same parts; This is similar to how 8421 works. One module will be an Effer style knuckle boom crane, with the other one being... something else. In spite of appearances, the truck does fit in a bounding box 15x13x48 studs, resulting in a volume of 9,360 cubic studs. The only exception is the steering axle, which will be shortened. The fenders are also not final, and will be changed. The truck in the bounding box: Inabox by Saberwing007, on Flickr The truck: Truck by Saberwing007, on Flickr Lift Axle in action. The lift is controlled by the 12z gear ahead of the axle. Lift Axle by Saberwing007, on Flickr Maximum steering lock.
