November 17, 201410 yr Those are some really awesome vehicles! The border patrol rig and the RV really stand out to me. Thanks for sharing!
November 17, 201410 yr Amazing shots, your vehicles look very nice in this surrounding. Guess as all-terrain vehicles they need some kind of movable axles though - if you take a look at the pics with the Jeeps you may see what I mean. Have you ever thought about using this part? With this you get a very large axle articulation, as you can see here: Anyhow great work, keep on off-roading!

November 17, 201410 yr AWESOME off road vehicle collection......the ATV's are cool......Brick On 'droomangroup' !
November 17, 201410 yr Great work! Amazing how these are instantly identifiable (a Jeep, a Unimog, a Bronco, etc.) even in minifig/City scale - very impressive.
November 17, 201410 yr Great idea! I would have thought there would be more mountain bikers, but I guess that's not as much fun as a bunch of offroad MOCs. Love the Unimog, and the Park Service trucks!
November 17, 201410 yr Author AWESOME off road vehicle collection......the ATV's are cool......Brick On 'droomangroup' ! Excellent idea and really well executed! thanks guys! Great work!

I would have thought there would be more mountain bikers, but I guess that's not as much fun as a bunch of offroad MOCs. Love the Unimog, and the Park Service trucks! yeah, going to try and get some better biker pics next year and moto picks. there is one more pic with bicycle for the intro page, but i didn't bother posting that.
November 17, 201410 yr Nice collection and awesome out door photos! A tip, try adding some suspension to the cars for better posing. Could be as simple as a pivoted axle with a rubber 1x2 beam to keep the vehicle upright.

November 21, 201410 yr Could be as simple as a pivoted axle with a rubber 1x2 beam to keep the vehicle upright. Sounds interesting. Would that work better than the spring wheels holders I have suggested? Do you have an example for that? A link or a pic would be nice. I'm always interested in solutions for suspensions.
November 21, 201410 yr I attached an LDD file of the simple suspension idea. Edited November 21, 201410 yr by Zblj
November 23, 201410 yr I attached an LDD file of the simple suspension idea. Thank you. It's difficult to evaluate since LDD doesn't say anything about the forces acting. It seems to be a lot stronger than the spring wheels holder though - you probably won't get a comparable articulation on lighter vehicles plus it's much more room consuming than a spring wheels holder. But maybe it works well on larger vehicles where stronger forces are required (and where there is more room). Somebody's got to test it, I guess ...
December 29, 201410 yr Wow! It's an amazing collection of pictures! The land is beautiful and the vehicles are cool, too! My favourite one is the photo with the wheel change. Great work!
