Tomik Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Since I didn't find any pull-back motorbike I've decided to build one out of set 42010. It was great challenge to create another alternative model with such a limited amount of bricks. Its only feature is pull-back motor. It's also solid enough to not fall apart when it crashes into wall. And these are left over parts: If I find more time I'll build something bigger. I wanted to build plane out of set 8041 (race truck) but it has 8 pieces over limit... Edited October 25, 2014 by Tomik Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It came out really nice! Looks almost as an official set. Quote
TinkerBrick Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Not Bad at all! I think you made the most out of this set. Quote
MrTekneex Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Tomik is legend! Another superb alternate! Quote
Tomik Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Thank you all for comments. Tomik is legend! Another superb alternate! Thank you for compliment - I'm happy that I was not disqualified like Nathanael... Quote
Jim Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It came out really nice! Looks almost as an official set. Agreed! I like it...a lot! Quote
W3ird_N3rd Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Very nice! If you could figure out a way to allow for manual steering (on a friction pin), that would be amazing - but possibly a stretch given the number of parts. Quote
Tomik Posted October 27, 2014 Author Posted October 27, 2014 Thank you once more for such a possitive feedback. If you could figure out a way to allow for manual steering (on a friction pin), that would be amazing - but possibly a stretch given the number of parts. I'm able to make it steering easily but I don't think it's good idea due to very big steering radius and use of pull-back motor. Quote
Eraman Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you once more for such a possitive feedback. I'm able to make it steering easily but I don't think it's good idea due to very big steering radius and use of pull-back motor. Maybe a lockable steering? Quote
miguev Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Nicely done! My preference is for something that doesn't fit under the sofa, like http://rebrickable.com/mocs/tomik/tractor, but I'm sure my little ones would like this bike better :D Quote
ms09 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 A very competitive entry of few parts. I think you should have been disqualified like Nathanael. A mistake from Jim. Quote
Tomik Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 I think you should have been disqualified like Nathanael. A mistake from Jim. You should worry now. This model was just warming up... I plan to build something bigger for contest just if I don't finish it in time I'll have at least this model. Quote
