Mercedes W123 Coupé

[roxXx5]

Hello fellow brickers,

today i want to introduce you into a new MOC i've started to build at the beginning of august.

It's a Mercedes W123 coupé. The reason for me to build this car was one of my co-workers drives one and every once in

a while he takes me for a ride in this beauty.

But enough about the story behind. Here are some technical features.

Power Functions:

- 2L-motors for driving

- 1M-motor for steering

- 1M-motor for shifting gears

Drivetrain and suspension:

- fully independend suspension

- ackermann geometry

- kingpin inclination

- casterangle

- 3-Speed gearbox

- RWD with differential

- working straight 4 fake engine

- working steering wheel

Bodywork:

- openable doors, bonnet and trunk

I tried to upload at least 2 more pictures here but it won't let me do this....

so here is a link to mocpages for you:

Thank you all for watching.

Hi Greg,

at first i like to thank you.

luckily i made some pictures during the build so i

can show you the frontaxle assembly alone.

The shocks are selfmade from lego parts and the spring comes

from a lego shockabsorber which i had disassemblied.

It's a shock design i've seen in a couple of other mocs from other people.

Excellent job. Such car models are pretty rare as much as I can tell. The more interesting is to see some. You did outstanding job with the bodywork and the chasis also look great. It's instantly recogniseable from most angles - perhaps the only view I don't like very much is from the side - the back somehow looks to have to much clearance from the ground, although I checked with pictures of a real car and you are actually quite close. Perhaps adding one more strip of technic axles to lower and thicken it a bit might result in better look.

Anyway, wonderful model. Any chance for a video showing off it's functions?
