JamesJT Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I have the bones of my TC9, A SUV, trailer and compact sports plane with folding wings. It is 69 long, 11 wide and 13 high or 9867cs. I have no idea what the B model will be. Edited January 7, 2016 by JamesJT Quote
Tomik Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Interesting idea. I like mechanism for unfolding wings - it's simple and works well. Quote
Thirdwigg Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 The wing function is pretty cool. I think the B model part of the contest will be difficult for many of the participants. Quote
muffinbrick Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Nice idea with those folding wings. Very original and still simple in the best sense of the word. Quote
JamesJT Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 I tried to build a proper SUV but this looked more fun... Quote
Kaanere Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I tried to build a proper SUV but this looked more fun... Hmmm, looks interesting! I really liked your past entries for contests, so I'm excited! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 This is a very nice, can I say, concept car? Quote
Pat-Ard Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 The car looks good, even if it reminds me of the fugly BMW X6... Quote
Siegfried Meyer Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The car looks good, even if it reminds me of the fugly BMW X6... my thoughts exactly but cool moc nonetheless.Keep up the good work JamesJT. Edited December 5, 2015 by Siegfried Meyer Quote
Dafgek81 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Like the sports car, don't like the plane. Quote
JamesJT Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 This is a very nice, can I say, concept car? This is the "concept" version. The style and colours are not fixed yet. Like the sports car, don't like the plane. ...but the plane is not fiinshed yet. It has all the bodywork, canopy, seats and 2 more "tricks" up it sleeve still to be done. Quote
JamesJT Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 I've got it looking much more grown up and looking more like an SUV. HOG steering is the only function so far. Quote
JamesJT Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 No, 16L for roof. I have 2 black 19L but they are too long. Quote
JamesJT Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) The plane and trailer are nearly done. I changed the colours as I may try a fire truck for the B model. Edited January 27, 2016 by JamesJT Quote
Pat-Ard Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 in red it looks more like a Range Rover Evoque ;) Nice :) Quote
JamesJT Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 The plane has folding wings, retractable landing wheels and a ratchet (human power functions) to spin the prop. Quote
Omikron Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Simply awesome. I Like the car redesign and boy that plane looks so good! Quote
flyboy01 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I agree! I will try to build that SUV in RC. Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 At first I did not know what to expect...wel this exceeds my expectations for sure!!! :laugh: Excellent so far...! :thumbup: Any plans/progress on the B model? Just curious... Quote
JamesJT Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 I will try to build that SUV in RC. I'm going to do that too. I have a few areas to tweek, then I'll make a LDD file (so I can rebuild it if needed). I will take it all apart to see what I've got for the B model. There are lots of red and white parts so I could try for a fire truck (or plane). Quote
Rockbrick Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 apart from needing a more realistic prop. If this was a set I would buy it off the shelf - and that is the criteria I use to assign points to competition entries.... Quote
JamesJT Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Wow! Thank you. The porp had to have a diameter of just less than 7 studs and be as heavy as possible (to maintain momentum) this is V4 and the one that works best with the ratchet engine. Do lego do a one-piece prop that would work? Quote
