This MOC is very fragile. Lots of SNOT technique were used when I built it. But still, the cockpit cabin can be opened and the propeller is rotating too.

I am going on a road trip soon and hopefully will get a Mustang from the car rental. So I happened to walk past this set and just had to buy it in anticipation of the trip :D So, I never use stickers. Hate them. So I thought I try to mod this car stickerless, which seemed doable. It is a minor mod, but I am kinda new and I feel kinda proud I could finish what I had in mind. I thought I'd share. Thanks for reading! http://u.cubeupload....t20160511at.png http://u.cubeupload....t20160511at.png It was an one afternoon thing and I did not have all my bricks at hand but, I am pretty happy with the results :) edit: reserved for possible changes. Would love to make it stud or two wider... edit: resized images

Scale is 1:11, Features 90 degree V8 fake engine, steering, 4 speed transmission, double wishbone front / live axle rear suspension and everything that should open, does. Except the glovebox. Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr The steering parts are those little 3L ones from a few years ago, which fit within these wheels for reasonable steering geometry at the expense of decent lock. Still, at least the wheels don't rub the sides of the close fitting arches. Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr The shift plate from 8880 is just superb - such a nice gearchange! Now we just need one in black.... Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr It's the '66 model GT350 with side window in place of the '65's louvres. Also without the '67-on extra metal grafted on the ends. Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr Also, seats slide, tilt forward and recline. Well, the front ones do. The rear ones just sit there... Shelby Mustang GT350 by Nick Barrett, on Flickr -
Okay... perhaps not as fast as I wanted it to be ...... but quite a bit faster than the original. Here is Sheepo's Mustang with actual RC racing parts. Traxxas Titan motor to be exact. I had to create a new bracket, drive train, etc. to accommodate for the new rpms, power, etc. To be honest, the drivetrain could have actually used more power, it is the heavy back end that limits performance on this model. I will not post all the details here... that is too exhaustive. But I had done so elsewhere. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/412797 Check it out it you can.... hopefully it is an interesting read. I love feedback, especially constructive feedback, but if you have something scathing I totally don't mind, but please read the whole post on my mocpages before posting something too critical. I love it when people post stuff but haven't read or seen all the videos.... sometimes your question/concern/opinion will be addressed if you read/watch all that has been posted. Also, the post has some things that I think may be of interest to the Technic community... such as how to address the problem of short supply for red flex cables..... and perhaps some additional information as to why Sheepo is now building 1/10 scale instead of 1/8 scale. Dang.... I can't get the videos to post. It is so hit and miss with these things. I use the exact same procedure everytime.....Is there anything I am doing wrong? Grrr.... I guess that is a different post. If someone knows.... please feel free to fix the issue. -
Hey everyone, This is something that I have alluded to in the past here on the forum. I have been working on a Sheepo's Mustang with added power. I went with RC power, a 380 motor to be exact. This has been a fun project so far; not yet complete but at least the motor is in and runs great. Really, the test will be when everything is complete and the weight is heavier to see if everything runs as smooth under load. Although there are other ways to power-up a model, this one appealed to me because I love RC cars and have many stare parts. If everything runs fine under load, then this will be tons of fun to drive and probably the fastest version of Sheepo's mustang out there (although, yes, obviously not using solely Lego parts). Admittedly, if everything works as planned it will still be very hard to drive. I will use the Lego servo for steering, so I will have two controllers. Again, I get it that this will make the car hard to drive, but this is a project that I did more to see if it could be done as opposed to trying to make something functional. I have had a lot of fun with this so far, and still a little work to go. As can be seen in the video I kept the transmission which is probably not needed (and makes the video very loud!). But I just wanted it keep it anyways b/c it is such a cool part of the build. But, there is a good chance that eventually, if things all work out under load, I will take the tranny away for direct drive. When I get it all done I will include pics and a full write-up with details and another, longer video. And yes...... I know I need to switch that back axle out... the tire is a little wobbly.

Alright.. Here's something classic and muscle - the mighty Shelby Mustang from year 1965 in it's original white + blue stripes color schema. So.. it turns out - it is only 3,5 years ago since I started to use some more color in my models - other than white I mean. I really like how the outdoor pictures turned out. For instance - in the next one it does really look like in the same scale as the building, thou the building is of course a real one. This model used some quite interesting techniques and details I think. Take a look at those rims. They are actually steering wheels. But stuffed inside those old type tires - they fit and stay there very well. So does the red break calipers. These do stay in place as the wheels go. Apart from all the historical models - this one I really regret taking apart. A sad moment to the humanity I'd say :) But... at that moment I didn't have enough bricks to keep it in one piece and build another car. So... hope you enjoy this old American beauty. As always - more pics at my flicker album here: Feel free to let me know what you think. See ya next time :) Cheers.

Back when I started seriously getting into building some 15 years ago there was a guy named Jonathan Stephenson who had designed some really awesome Technic cars... Of course this was before everything had gone full studless... I know that many people here have probably never seen these models, so I would like to share them as they are amazingly well done... I don't know if he still builds or not as I haven't seen anything since these cars from 2000.. IMO they still hold up even with today's new full wave of parts... Corvette Mustang -
Hi all! It's been a long time since my last post, I have been busy with school. A few weeks ago I builded the standard Mustang Shelby by Sheepo in black with red striping. I tought it was a very nice and detailed model, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make it faster, using only official LEGO parts. Therefore I decided to build, next to my standard mustang a RC version. It turned out very well, I didn't mesured the speed yet, but I think it goes around 15 or even 20 km/h. For propulsion I used 4 RC motors, 2 for each rear wheel. To power those energy slinding motors, I used 2 RC units. I kept the brakes in the front, but even with a XL motor, they doesn't have a lot of braking-power. More at my Facebookpage, even a little test video: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Freskos-Lego-Technic-creations/161905693917724?fref=nf I'm sorry for my bad English and rubbish text, I wrote it in a hurry. A clean, nice and detailed topic will follow! -
This past Saturday, I rebuild my abandoned Mustang chassis (and made some improvements) . Here's what I got done: Features are all the same so far: - Front independent suspension with Anti-dive geometry, caster angle, kingpin inclination, and Ackerman geometry - Rear leaf spring suspension - Return-to-center R/C steering - Remote control drive The main improvement with this chassis so far is a slightly more compact gear system for the steering, which allowed me to move the drive motor up (and add a second drive motor). Here's the old chassis for comparison: This Saturday, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time, I'll be hosting another build livestream. There, I'll be building the cabin and dashboard, possibly more. Here's the link. In the meantime, what do you guys think of the rebuild so far? -
[Edit, 12 October 2015] Note: This thread is discontinued. If you're interested in more cars of this sort please join me on Flickr. [/Edit] Hi all, after all the LCS and airport stuff it was time to build some new cars - or rebuild some older cars according to the actual scheme of widths. In this thread you'll find some actual sports cars (to be continued). List of cars in this thread #1 Ford Falcon (Mad Max Interceptor) #2 Ford Mustang Convertible #3 Ford Mustang Fastback #4 Dodge Charger #5 Aston Martin DB5 #6 Ferrari Daytona Spider "Miami Vice" #7 Ferrari 308 GTS (Magnum, P.I. edition) #8 Mustang Shelby GT 500 "Eleanor" #9 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda #1 Ford Falcon (Mad Max Interceptor) The old Mad Max Interceptor (which might be known to some people) didn't fit any more into the actual range of widths used in the town project. Thus the following aspects were changed: width reduced from 7w+ to 6w+ lower roof line (back of the fig must be slanted, but it works) exhausts are situated more under the body than before tanks dark grey instead of red some minor changes #2 Ford Mustang (classic version) 6w+. Fits one whole minifig (two are quite difficult with this setup). #3 Ford Mustang Fastback A sportier version. #4 Dodge Charger The Charger is based on derjoe's amazing design which is very well known (see www.flickr.com/photos/53163759@N04/8554110987), but with quite a few modifications. The main point here is that "behind-the-tile design" which allows some unusual slopes - a concept to be further developed, I guess. 6.8w (6w plus two tiles), fits one fig (two are quite difficult with this setting, something to improve). Some more pics on Flickr. Thanks for looking, c&c welcome as usual. To be continued.

Hello there! After some time of loyal lurking I've decided to share some of my creations :). Let me introduce myself first, as this is my first post here - I'm a typical AFOL, thanks to having own children in proper age (pre- and primary school), I've managed to get back to old hobby. As both of my children are girls, so the field of construction is quite obvious - Friends serie ;). I've decided to improve the standard garage, supplied by the Lego Group, so you can expect some 4-wheeled creations, 6- or 7-wide. The first choice is one of my first creations, the 7w car inspired by the iconic muscle car - Ford / Shelby Mustang GT-500 - not a specific model, rather the mix of 2010 - 2013. As most of my MOCs, it's designed to be playable by 3-years old kid - heavy duty construction, and the obligatory openable doors (I even can't think about the car without such feature ;)). So, the requirements are quite hard, but the results are quite good, I hope :). Sorry for the mediorce photo quality (terrible focus depth), but didn't have too much time to play with the friends' camera, borrowed for short time :). So, let Olivia to introduce one of her cars: More photos on my flickr page. Downlolad LDD file. My other presentations:
