Hi to all, Some time ago I try my hand to remake my favorite childhood set 5580 Highway Rig and I think it's a good start. This moc is based same cabin and hood design but slightly modified chassis. Functions are like original 5580 remake version as suspended axles, steering; Additionally - Chassis is 1 stud higher - Bigger and wider 49.50x20 tires - Winch (ugly, dead simple but it's there) - Back roller thingy Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-237585/Nikolyakov/5580-remake-oilfield-bedwinch-truck/#details Side not: I build original 5580 Remake version physically and all axles and funtions work properly but i did not build this version, I simply tweak on Stud.io so maybe some minor issues are possible like tire rubbing etc. Original 5580 remake version https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/200269-5580-remake Thanks for your time. -
"There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do" - Henry Ford (Description below is taken from project page on Ideas) "The prototype of this project, Ford Model T was not the first car ever built, neither it was the most powerful, fast, beautiful and so on... It was revolutionary because of its availability, making the concept of automobile the one we know today - a vehicle, more or less affordable for highest amount of people possible, not a luxury for the chosen ones. That is why I have chosen Tin Lizzie - it's simply iconic. Since there is a plenty of variations of Model T, I ended up making the collective image of it without sticking to any exact modificaton, but trying to follow the last, 1927 version of it - wheels' choice was probably the hardest part because of the original, since there aren't any tires that narrow. However, the overall look of Lizzie is still recognizable. Being a huge fan of vehicles myself, I grab every new set of Creator Expert car as soon as it's possible - but one day I just decided to try my skills in making my own model, that's how this project has been born. Adjusted to scale of already existing vehicles, this set could be a nice addition to the collection and a good gift for other many cars' enthusiasts. Since I'm planning to develop the project, the updates will be coming without any doubt - the final target is to manage to improve the model as much as possible and to build a real version of it, so stay tuned :) Thanks in advance to every single supporter and everyone who stopped to look at this project!" Thanks again for stopping by and have a great day! :) -
Hello everybody, I want to share my new project. I am going to build Caterpillar wheel excavator. Featuring: -4x4 drive -one axle steering -air tank (if it'll be necesarry) -12 pneumatic pistons -7 pneumatic switches -2 small pneumatic pumps -HoG steering Rotating of main boom will be controlled manually. In main boom I will place battery box as counterweight, motor with pumps and fake engine. Trought the main technic turnable actually goes steering (black wheel), gearbox elements will be used for driving fake motor and one pneumatic hose to bottom switches. After three days of work I have got almost completed bottom of excavator and front blade. -

Today I'm celebrating 10 years here at Eurobricks, and I'm doing so by posting MOCs that I have not had time to present when they were finished. These two aircrafts were given to Billund Air Center to celebrate their 25 year anniversary last year. They train pilots for both helicopters and airplanes, so it was natural to give them a model of each. The helicopter is a Bell Long Ranger: It is decorated similarly to how they have decorated their own Long Ranger at BAC: The little airplane is a Piper Tamahawk. Their own (OY-RPG) was sold this year, but the model still stands: Brickshelf folders with more images: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=555649 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=555647 -
Hi guys! I finally had the time to upload so here are the pictures of my finished mack granite: Now with the new rear axle setup I have, my future trucks will be more powerful and I won't have cracking gear issues anymore! The video: Thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a comment! -
I've been working on building 6-wide trucks in LDD since rediscovered the joy of LEGO again, but I'm rapidly running out of patience for the limitations of that scale (namely, you can have nice looking wheels or structural stability, but not both) so I thought I'd turn to the old Model Team sets for inspiration instead. Lots easier to build 12 or 14-wide, right? Except there's a major snag in that none of the old classic Model Team sets are buildable in LDD due to using the old Technic Plates with rounded ends and holes in them instead of the Technic Half Beams, and all the MOCs I can find instructions for are radio controlled, which I'm not all that interested in and which are a pain in the neck to build in LDD. I'm satisfied with a nice display piece which I can modify to show various truck configurations. Can anyone point me in the direction of a nice and easy MOC or official LEGO set I can use to as a base for some mostly static builds in 12-14 wide using the Model Team wheels, so I can get some idea of how steering and stuff fits together now?

Hi, I would like to show you my new MOC. it is Leadsled, that I once promised to build. 1K - Cutaway Leadsled by Horcik Designs I wanted to build big red car, that would fit nicely on display next to my Tatra T2-603. (visit my Flickr or Scale modelling forum here to find photos of it) It features 4-forward gearbox, working steering wheel, no HOG (it is display model), huge but fake V8, openable doors with locks, openable trunk with gravitational lock (it is too heavy to stay opened) and detachable hood. And loads of minor details and holes. What?! 1K - Cutaway Leadsled by Horcik Designs, on Flickr 1K - Cutaway Leadsled by Horcik Designs, on Flickr This MOC was directly inspired by cutaway technical drawings of cars. In my opinion, all original Technic model were supposed to look like 3D-ized cutaway drawings.

Hello All, This is an attempt to model a cool, nostalgic car from Eastern Germany, the last model of the Trabant factory in Zwickau. I have created this model as a birthday gift to my best friend who used to drive us around in a car like this in his early twenties. If you like this MOC, you can suppport it on the Lego Ideas site - thanks! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a4bbe629-6520-44f3-ba50-318457e26255 Lego Trabant Universal 1.1 by Dan Falussy, on Flickr Backview by Dan Falussy, on Flickr Openall by Dan Falussy, on Flickr Interior by Dan Falussy, on Flickr

Hi! It's been a while since I've posted here. I am currently reworking on my cat ct660 and I've decided to not do it RC. I've decided to make it a 4 axles and made the second one retractable but the problem I'm now facing is how to lock the steering on this axle. If you have any ideas don't hesitate to post something! Here are some pictures: Thanks in advance for any reply and have a great day!

I missed out on the 5571 Black Cat as a high school kid (other priorities...), but ever since I got my hands on it a few years ago, and inspired by Andrea Grazi's truck and Ingmar Spijkhoven's trucks, I wanted to build a "Black Cat v2". An upgraded version with modern parts and more functions, such as full suspension, working engine, pneumatic pump for trailer attachments and a working fifth wheel coupling. This is turning into a "Magnum Opus" for me, since I've been working so long on it, rebuilding again and again various parts. Now that I have a rolling chassis, I felt it was time to share. I'm building digitally also, mostly to assess what parts I need to purchase and try out things: The differential that's peeking through the chassis is intended to have an idling engine by the PF motor (while e.g. the pneumatic pump is running) and that is "added" to the motion of the rear wheels. I posted the rear and front axles before. The fifth wheel coupling is adapted from @functionalTechnic Scania-inspired truck. Since I now got a rolling chassis that I'm happy with, I hope to make progress a bit faster and provide updates. Feel free to comment in the mean time; advice is always welcome too. -
Alternate build of the "10290 Pickup Truck" set.Medium truck UAZ 3303 aka "Tadpole" is one of the legendary Soviet Union cars.The car has been manufactured since 1965. Features:- 1:16 scale- openable doors and trunk- rigid structure- all accessories from the original set was not used, you can put them into the trunk Instructions: Rebrickable -
Description After over a year of prototyping, building and rebuilding, I'm finally done and want to take this opportunity to present my "magnus opus" properly. The idea for this project came when I finally got my hands on a copy of 5571 Black Cat/Giant Truck. This set came out when I was in high school and I always regretted it a bit that I didn't get it. However, when I finally did get it a few years ago, I realised that LEGO has come a long way in the intervening 25 years, and resolved to build one myself: inspired by the 5571, but pack with features enabled by modern LEGO pieces. It took a while, but it's finally done. The model features: 6x4 drive to a fake 3-cylinder engine with idling function powered by a PF M-motor. Solid axle suspension on all axles Steering front axle with Ackermann geometry, connected to steering wheel in cab Built-in pneumatic pump (powered by the same PF M-motor) with connection points for future trailer Motorised fifth-wheel decoupling (powered by the same PF M-motor) Cab interior Openable doors and hood Many details HOG ready (requires two tiles to be removed from the sleeper roof) Exterior Interior and engine Obligatory underbelly shot High-resolution and additional photo's can be found on my Bricksafe page. I'm super proud of this model, so I hope you like it too Some additional background information and progress photo's can be found in the WIP topic.

I have been trying to find a place to post Mocs I have built from some of the designers here. (first to admit im pretty useless at anything computer related and may have missed something). But if there isn't such a place, is it possible to add one. ? A place where building, even an old, moc of someone's wouldn't require a dreaded " old post bump" to show it? Anyway that's all I have, and if I have completely missed a spot to do this, I guess this post is mute.......

Hello all, In this topic I will show my progress on my Scania 140 Super, in Astran livery. I don’t know if you people know this English transport company, but it was the leader in road transport to far-away destinations, first the Middle East, later also Russia, Ukraine and the Balcan. I read a book about this company (now a few months ago) and last week I suddenly got the idea to build a truck from it. As said, it will be a Scania 140 Super. I already made the chassis, with a detailed V8 fake engine, one of the trademarks from Scania. The model is going to have HOG steering, (problably) an openable cab, and details like fuel tanks, roof rack, luggage, interior, etc. Now a few pics to show the original and what I have made so far. The chassis is finished, so now on to the cab, which probably will be the trickiest part. I know the chassis is a bit unconventional build, but I don’t wanna order any extra parts just for this model, that’s also why the middle of the bed is blue. Any feedback is welcome! Thanks for reading. I’m not quite sure if this belongs in Technic or in Scale Modeling, but because this model isn’t a particular scale I think it fits best in Technic Forum. I think it fits best to the Model Team description, even if that isn’t really what this model is. -
I had seen the Volvo FH Aero cab a couple of times before it was publicly presented but I hadn't decided to actually build a lego version of it until the weekend before the press release Last week my model premiered at the Volvo Trucks Factory in Ghent, where I work. I'm not so happy with how the upper front grille turned out, my previous model really was spot on, in fact I dare even say that that one is the best out there when it comes to that section. But! There is a good reason why this one's upper grille is rather mediocre, I managed to include a cool feature that would not have been possible on the previous model; Cab Tilt! I have more pictures in my Brickshelf gallery, for some reason I am no longer able to embed those in here. You can check these out once the gallery is public: Brickshelf. As you can see in the video, the model is motorized: A System PoweredUp hub sits under the cab, an L motor for drive and angular M motor for steering are fitted in the wheelbase area. The model features front and pusher axle steering. However due to the unbalanced weight distribution I have experienced a lot of issues with the driving stability. The weight on the front axle is massive, giving the rear driven axle a hard time to find some grip on the road. A reflection I had; I'm quite happy with the fifth wheel, it's the first one I ever made and I wanted it to actually look like a real fifth wheel. Strangely no one else seems to care much about a realistic looking fifth wheel. Don't forget to check out my Volvo FH Hooklift! -
Hello fellow Eurobrickers, Please let me introduce my latest MOC. The Scania P220 Skiploader...... This project started about two or so years ago. It had a stop, start, rocky road to completion! I had the idea and desire to build this for a long time before I eventual got round to it. I set myself a few goals for the model. These were: Functional skip loading capabilities. Steering. Suspension. Fake engine. Working stabilisers on the rear. Detailed interior. Model Team styling. Scaled as best I can to the real Scania. That being said, lets find out if these goals were met..... Functional Skip Loading Capabilities. I think this worked out pretty well. I wanted a manual operation as opposed to Power Functions etc. the main arms are rotated via the black 20 tooth double bevel gears on the sides. They are connected, so both sides will activate both linear actuators. The new longer actuators helped a lot here! The arm extension is done separately by the black 12 tooth double bevel gears. These are independent from one another and drive the gear racks via worm gears so they stay up when raised. The gear racks and housing are a near perfect length, however I found trying to work out the geometry a bit difficult due to the angle of the rear end and stabilisers. And the some what chunky design of the rack housing piece. Here is a funny little GIF showing the motion in action! Steering Yep. Pretty standard in the Technic forum. Nothing more than the good old gear rack actuated by the black bevel gear on top. The turn radius is also standardly large for a Lego model. Suspension I learned a lesson with this one. Model Team style trucks are a little too heavy for the standard hard shocks. I started with independent wish bone and one shock on each front wheel, but soon found out I needed to beef it up with two shocks per wheel when the cab started taking shape. The rear is nothing special. I believe it's a live floating axel? Let me know if my terminology is wrong. This was done using the Unimog ball joint pieces and two yellow hard shocks. The rear suspension is a lot stiffer than the front due to the angle of the shock mounting. Another con for suspension on a model like this is that there is not much space between the wheels and the mud guards, rendering the suspension pretty useless. Fake engine The fairly recent (at least for me) development of fake engines has made squeezing them in a model much easier. I originaly planned to use the Technic piston parts, but this solution is way more elegant. I don't know if the real truck has a v6. But I'm not overly picky on this particular detail. You can also see in the below image where I had to add the extra shocks on the front suspension. A far less elegant solution than the engine, but I didn't fancy a complete re-design! . The pistons are attached to the rear wheels via a differential housed in the ball joint. Here you can see the whole drive train. Working stabilisers on the rear. This part went through countless iterations. My original goal was to make them mechanical using the small linear actuators, but I couldn't find a way to make them small enough to fit with the scale. In the end I decided to make them brick built and to rely on friction keeping them in place. To that end, they are merely aesthetic and have no real function at all. This image shows the basic construction. Note in the real model, I used elastic bands stretched around the rail pieces to aid friction. Detailed interior. I think this came out pretty well. My only criticism would be the amount of black used. Maybe it's my photography skills, but it makes it hard to see the finer details. Here are some pictures for you to decide. Model Team Styling. I'm quite happy with how this model turned out. I had a lot of fun adding all the details and refining the shapes. Especial the front grill, which I really wanted to capture the look of real truck. I'm particularly happy with the head lights. The slight angle was a pleasure to figure out. And the door handles were also a fun little detail to work on. I just wish I could hide the studs on the side of the doors, but maybe it gives a 'Lego feel' I'll let you be the judge of the outcome! Scaled as best I can to the real Scania. So here we are at the last goal. I think it turned out to be about 1:17 scale. In my eyes it's a fairly good recreation of the Scania P220. There are a few bits that could be better, but hey, at the end of the day it's Lego! In conclusion As mentioned before, I had a lot of fun building this. There are a few added bonus points for the tilting cab, opening doors, fold down ladders on the side and a little opening compartment on the right side behind the cab. I usually build a large portion digitally while building with physical bricks, but in this project I kept LDD to a minimum, only serving as a file to keep for the future. There were also a few lessons learned along the way. I think I'll omit the suspension on my next adventure! But I certainly have a list of projects. My only wish is that I had more time..... hope you enjoyed the post. I'll leave you with some pictures. This link will take you to the Scania brochure I used for reference. This link will take you to my Brickshelf page with the Stud.io file. As always, thanks for looking and constructive feedback welcome. -
Hi to all, I haven't posted anything new here for a while. It was started as a model team style hot-rod but I don't have any crome parts except this 4 wheel so there is!

Hi to all. 5580 is one of my all time favorite sets but i dont have original set. There are some remakes available but none of them doesnt feels right to me so i made my version for just for fun. First i made daycab version because i didnt have the right parts (and colors) then completed on Stud.io for sleeper version (explanation for awkward steering axle in the middle of the cabin) There is a slight illegal technic for steering but i think it is acceptable, no stressing parts etc. (see set 6933 ) Model has the same functions as original set has plus front axle also pendular one. Building insctructions is also available on Rebricable; https://rebrickable.com/users/Nikolyakov/ Thanks for watching.

Hello, I'm back in business after some years of dark age and I want to present you my new MOC, which is actualy a facelifted version of my older rat rod presented here years earlier. The model is build from scratch using current pieces and building techniques, sharing the main concept with its predecessor. Model features drag link steering operated steering wheel in cockpit, openable doors, detailed fake engine and fuel tank. I hope you will like it! -
Hello, Hereby I'd like to present you my first MOC. It's a model of a DAF XF 105 with a Krone cooling trailer. The trailer is not really a model build by Krone, but it's inspired by several trailers. The scale is the same as TLG's midscale trucks. The tractor uses the same fifth wheel setup as the Mack Anthem. The tractor has as functions: - Opening doors - HOG steering - Lockable fifth wheel The trailer has as functions: - Opening rear doors - Outriggers using a LA More pictures can be found here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Rebel_Lego/daf-xf-105 Instructions for the tractor unit are on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-72229/rebel_lego/truck-daf-xf-105/#details If there is enough interest, maybe I'll make instructions for the trailer too.
