This is amazing!

Cool idea, and a great little car. Not everything has to be 50 studs long!!

Wow! I am absolutely blown away to have won. Never thought for a moment I would, so thank you very much everyone who took part, who voted, and Milan and Jim for running another great competition.

I like the new voting site and rules - I'm guaranteed at least one point!! I'd also leave it up for two weeks, as some of us don't visit the forum as often as we'd like, so a fortnight gives busy folks a greater chance to vote. As always, thanks to Jim and Milan for arranging the competition.

Hand of god or not, that's awesome!

You don't have to have a differential. You do have to support your driving axles though. Might be worth buying some more complex sets to see how Lego do it. Alternatively Lego host all their official instructions on their website, so you could browse those to see how they build axles. For the size of car you are producing, I'd suggest some of the trucks such as 42112 or 42128 for a guide on how to build a powered axle. These sets take drive from the wheels to power functions on the vehicle rather than being motorised like you are doing, but the principles are the same whichever direction power is going.

I'm enjoying the totally inappropriate weather for the subject :)

That ferries wheel is amazing!

Looks great. We just need three more last minute entries to complete the theme!

I love the trailer addition. I keep pondering things to do with a unimog. A trailer has never crossed my mind, but opens so many possibilities.

How to make something simple really complicated...

I didn't take any pictures during building, but when I disassemble it I'll take a few pics if you would like. I'm still enjoying releasing penguins for now! Thanks to all for the kind words. I'm delighted it's had such a positive response!

I was hoping no one would notice that. Unfortunately my ten year old son pointed it out about 5% of the way through the build. I then hoped no one here would notice.... I'm choosing to interpret "Artic" in the competition title to mean more broadly "Polar". If we want to play that game, most of the tracked machines in the contest so far would likely fall through the Arctic ice!!!

Mobile Penguin Washing Station Functions: Penguin Grabber Arm Hot tub washing Bath Transfer Mechanism Hairdryers Penguin Release Mechanism. Video of the vehicle in operation Discussion Topic Thanks, Paul.

Hi all, This is my entry for the Arctic Vehicle Competition - a Mobile Penguin Washing Station. I figured tracked Haggllund type vehicles would be pretty common so tried to add a bit of variety/novelty. This is a tracked vehicle, but is equipped with a parallel grabber arm, a hot tub, a transfer mechanism to move the penguin to the drying platform which is fitted with twin hairdryers, and a penguin release mechanism. There is an M-motor powered compressor buried under the body work, providing power to the grabber arm and penguin release mechanism, along with direction control gearboxes to drive the crane turntable and the transfer mechanism. Finally there's a selector gearbox to drive the hairdryers or power the transfer mechanism meaning you can't move the penguin from the hot tub to the drying platform with the hairdryers running, as that would be unsafe and we don't want to harm any animals here! Here's a video showing the Penguin Cleaning process. And finally, a big thank you to my willing volunteer: He is clearly delighted and refreshed. I hope you like it. I don't MOC much, don't post much, and this is the first video I've tried to edit, so go easy...
