Posted October 30, 20168 yr Hello, here I am with my object for this contest, made myself a crashcars slash bumpercars, completly like in reality for transport, just 2 mm space between the trailer and wheelpart to get it out, then lowering and start building... I use the pumps instead of a cyllinderenginepump, duo the weigt of the roof when open...is some weight on it, with 2 handpumps it goes faster.. the cyllinders you see are real lego technic but I bought them chromed at Aurimax at bricklink duo the fact that yellow is not my kind of colour and would be horrible to see in my bumpercars, I put a picture of it with the normal ones so you guys can witness it... so it contains: 4 cyllinders 4 cyllinder brackets 2 pneumatic switches 2 handpumps everything (exept the net offcourse) is lego, no fake lepin or 3th partiebricks... I just made a purple rooftop on it to be realstic, I'm breaking it off today so I will make a movie and post it tomorrow then on the entry forum, hope you guys like it,I know funfair is always a risky subject duo everyone making trucks and cranes... So I ope atleast someone enjoys it.. cheers http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439666 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439668 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439667 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439669 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439670 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439674 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439672 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439673 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439675 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439677 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439679 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439680 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439681 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439682 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439683 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439685 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439686 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439687 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439688 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439689 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439690 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439691 picture of the chromed vs normal cyllinders... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439692 bussy with my roof.. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439698 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439696 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439697 close up from the cyllinders and from the engineview with handpumps http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439693 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439694 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6439695
October 30, 20168 yr Hi, it looks like your model is not fit to enter this competition...you have lots of non-Lego parts, not just net, but also purple rooftop and chromed cylinders. Try to remove those and use just original Lego parts. Edited October 30, 20168 yr by Milan
October 30, 20168 yr Author lol again the the cyllinders are true lego parts only chromed, why would that be an issue here?? and of the net and rooftop... it's the net who making it cool... never been made before ;) if lego made a nice net I ddin't needed to use a fishingnet ;) if i remove the net and rooftop it's not an actual bumpercars anymore :/
October 30, 20168 yr Amazing! I'm very curious to see how this works ... Very impressed with the level of all the TC10 entries and very inspiring to see so different and so high quality submissions :-) Makes it very difficult to choose a winner!

It looks cool, but right now it isn't following the rules. I hope you will find a solution!

And still, you ask why you can't use chromed parts? Its not just the chromed parts issue here, which btw, are more than just cylinders, you have chromed bushes and chromed half bushes... You also have more 3rd party parts, like in this picture, those transparent 90 degrees distributors maybe considered 3rd party hoses, but it is stretching the rules, and is this coil a Lego part? Sorry if these are original pieces, I just did not see them before. And also are those two drilled holes on purple 6x12 tile?

And also are those two drilled holes on purple 6x12 tile? ok of those pneumatic distributors I also don't know, I bought them maybe 5 years ago on ebay, I didn't even noticed these on my pix (monkeyface) so for these I can understand the problem, the holes I made duo i like an purple plate there... it's not a necessary thing I need to make it function, just more for the eye... and yesyesyes indeed also bushes, beautiful chromed real lego bushes ;) how freaking sexy it isssssss :D but ok I got it, will trow my towel in the ring for this moc, sad of some rulez here but will not cry like a baby :) goodluck 2 the other people... or maybe I post another moc? can I and delete this one?
October 30, 20168 yr Hey Matth, You have two ways...remove these non-lego parts and post your moc without them, or present that another moc if it fits the rules (just original Lego parts and it was not shown before anywhere else). You still have some time left! Go for it!

You still have some time left! Go for it! yeah I can not go on with my other moc yet, still not 100% finished and can't do it in sutch short time... still need parts... and for this moc I will not pull of my net, roof or chromed cyllinders/bushes cause then I will not winn at all, what's a crashcar withouth a net or roof, i undertstand the issue of non lego parts like the pneumatic attachement, but the rules need to be more open for some kind of projects I find, the net has an optic view on it here, it doesn't work with the cyllinders at all... and making issues of chromed lego parts I find hillarious, is it my faulth they only make cyllinders in yellow or trans green? why do I need to use lightbluish grey bushes on it when IU waste tons of money on those rare darkbluish grey 1/2 pins duo I didn't wanted the lightbluish grey ones in it :/ no megablocks, no lepin, all of this is understandable, but these rules are to sharp, sad times, but like I've said I'm sportive...good luck and let the best man win ;) and btw, your reaction on 1 pic if this is a lego part...I assume you ment the white cable? yes they are, you find it in the technic section on bricklink, also in black, I use these to attach my truck to the trailer as well, eyecatchers...the more the better ;) cheers Edited October 31, 20168 yr by matth
October 31, 20168 yr Even if you would not participate in the competition, I think the forum members would be very interested in seeing this thing work. Will you post a video?

Not everyone here can afford (time-wise or money-wise) to get chromed parts so it would mean an unfair advantage to many other builders. Also, a point of these contests is to show what can you build with the parts that exist. If the yellow cylinders don't look good, you can change the color scheme. If it's still not good, you have to pick another theme to model. It's all part of a contest, even giving up when you see your concept is failing. Your model would be impressive without all those random chromed parts. In my opinion, those random chromed parts don't go well with the dark bluish gray.

Will you post a video? thx mate, yeah will do but it will be the longer youtube version then, I'm used to make a video of the building and working, normaly for this I just would made a short one, now I'm no longer running for the medal, I will take my time, I need to shoot it outside so I need to waith on a perfect blue sky... here you have my droptower link, then you know what I mean... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaYdQmsPKiU if the weather wants to be good, I can post it between this and 3 weeks...

I like to go deeper, I'm doing funfair, funfair works with colors, I'm always trying on a ride to colmplete it in the same color, l don't like 50 colors in 1 moc, I even modify colors in exisiting sets duo I find most sets so ugly of to much different colors in it, here some examples... my white casino http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5831510 transparant cyllinders inside http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5851747 my flush is red http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5327916 cyllinders are transparant and trans green http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6427831 harder to see on this pic but they on every trailer 4 trans green ones http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6423753 my droptower... is yellow so I use yellow ones http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6432581 Honoustly reading I take advantage of buying chromed parts I find ridiculous! being called unfair to others I find really funny... chrome doesn't changed the fact of how my bumpercars works, not at all, it's estetic, nothing more... I really thought to do something else here duo the fact it's almost always the same things you see here, cranes, trucks, now 3 garbagetrucks... only the train is really something new (winner in my eyes) look we can argue here for days again, i 've already told I'm no longer in the competition, I refuse to clean out my chromed parts for this contest, also removing my net or rooftop, the only thing I would do is to clear out the purple plate and those 2 non lego pneumatic parts, for the rest I find my moc fit for the contest, if these rules are not to sharp in yr eyes, it's cause yr also mainstream like the most (that's why it's been called mainstream lol) being rejected for real lego but with some chrome on it is the most annoying rule ever made, it's a color, not a function!! thanks for yr time, case closed ;) 19 minutes ago, WvG_853 said: Cool! Looking forward to it! cheers mate!
