mahjqa Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 So I prefer to build small. I managed to miniaturize all the functionality of a standard forklift (driving, lifting, tilting) into a chassis only 11 studs wide. One of the advantages this offered me (among better strength, speed and maneuverability) is that I was able to build an entire warehouse to muck about in. This wasn't always the plan. I thought I'd just build two or three containers to show off its functionality, and that would be it. Then, the Android Sbrick app crashed and burned (or at least, it did on my phone) and it took two months for them to update the thing into relative functionality again. So I had plenty of time to build some scenery. For the enthusiasts; I've uploaded a LXF file to Vayamenda.com so you can tinker with it.(By the way, if you're a person who has built a forklift, could you link me to a picture of your forklift in this view? https://www.flickr.com/photos/28134808@N02/26063611241/ I'm very curious to see how it's scaled relative to other people's MOCs.)

MikeTwo9398 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 What an amazing small perfect working forklift. And the warehouse is great. Love all those pallets / containers. But most of all: awesome video. :thumbup: . I think it fits to the trucks of Ingmar (2LegoOrNot2Lego) and Designer Han. Quote
lcvisser Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 This is so cool! It must be so much fun to play around in the warehouse How high can it reach? It seems to have two stages, but I couldn't tell if it actually can reach the top shelve. Did you really build three, or was that the result of some really good video editing? Cool Thunderbirds box Quote
agrof Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Fantastic video presentation, I risk to say: the best up to date, thank You! :thumbup: Great model, with great accessoires pack, outstanding attention for details, RESPECT. Quote
Jim Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 The forklift itself is stunning, but man......I love those crates and pallets. The devil is in the details! The video is well done too. The accident in the beginning immediately caught my attention Needless to say I frontpaged it Quote
brunojj1 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Thank you for sharing this mindblowing forklift and the entire world you´ve created around it! Perfect technical performance and amazing details everywhere. Just love all the eye candies ! And the video is so neat and undescribably cool - on top of everything. Quote
SevenStuds Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Truly outstanding! Building this small is so much trickier than building huge. Well done on making yet another excellent model. And thanks for showing the backstage camera work! Love the motorized setup you created! Quote
nerdsforprez Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Great build and wonderfully entertaining. This post really is the whole package..... Quote
BusterHaus Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 That's a lot of stuff in a tiny space! Very well done. The warehouse is great, too. Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 It's been a while since I had fun watching a video and being pleased with a MOC!! Thanks for bringing us this wonderful little creature!! Loved the video so much! And yes small can be "MORE" than bigger models... Quote
Beard Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Oh you made a Lego camera dolly! Me face hurts from all the smiling! Edited March 30, 2016 by Beard Quote
mahjqa Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 Thank you all for your nice comments A lot of work went into this, and I'm glad it hit the mark. I think it fits to the trucks of Ingmar (2LegoOrNot2Lego) and Designer Han. That was very much intentional; some builders I know are collaborating, and building all their new models in the same scale (1:16 / 1:17). It all looks amazing together, and in this way I hope to contribute. This is so cool! It must be so much fun to play around in the warehouse How high can it reach? It seems to have two stages, but I couldn't tell if it actually can reach the top shelve. Did you really build three, or was that the result of some really good video editing? Cool Thunderbirds box It's great fun The fork can reach a height of 25 studs. And you're right, it can't actually reach the top shelf- but my main goal was reached; it can actually reach higher than it's own height when the fork is all the way down (19 studs), so it can go under a shelf it just put goods on. And nope, I just buit one. Editing to the rescue. The forklift itself is stunning, but man......I love those crates and pallets. The devil is in the details! Needless to say I frontpaged it Thanks! I also had a lot of fun building the pallets- they're neat mini-projects that don't take that much time to complete. And thanks for showing the backstage camera work! Love the motorized setup you created! It'd be a waste not to show it hopefully I can inspire others with their filming. Me face hurts from all the smiling! I can pretty much say the same reading all your comments. You all made my day Quote
Lucio Switch Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 That's amazing! The Moc itself is really nice...tender in some way ....but the entire package is stunning!! Dollies, pallets, warehouse and the video editing, everything done at top level! Quote

Ok here is mine: BTW, excellent job you've done on yours....so compact MG! http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/42/1444719155-20151013-073712.jpg Edited March 30, 2016 by steph77 Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Amazing forklift and even a better video . The start video reminds me at the film New Kids . Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I love functional MOCs even more being small ones, what a beauty you have done, anyway I still preffer your rubber brick tracked machine unforgeteable. Quote

princeofgonville Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Stunning - I'm trying to build stuff with the sbrick. Just HOW have you managed to get the battery box, servo, motors and sbrick and everything else into such a compact arrangement? I assume you're using the AAA or rechargeable battery ... Are there any photos of what it looks like on the inside? I'm going to have to stay up all night and copy this. Soooo cool. Quote
Lox Lego Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Very very cool. This is like a movie. Thanks for sharing, put a smile on my face today Quote
mahjqa Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 Princeofgonville ; I put an LXF file on my website (www.vayamenda.com). Using LDD, you can completely rebuild it. The only thing I couldn't include there are two of this part: https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=x127c21#T=C They are represented by the red round plates. I hope you like the model :) Quote
Pat-Ard Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 This ist simply amazing!!! Great work with stowing the technic an shaping the outside! Quote
KevinMoo Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Fantastic! I wish my forklift could be fully functional like this at this scale. I just buit one. Editing to the rescue. Could you be more specific on editing? I’m really curious about this kind of “duplication” technic in video editing. Thanks! Quote
