SUV? Quote

ThePlasticWerks Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Oh man! You should be building MY Xterra! I already have: I also happen to know that exact Xterra you're modeling from! Haven't met him in person but we frequent the same online social circles. He's been informed. And for Aleh: The Xterra is an SUV derived from the Nissan Navara pickup truck (called the Frontier here). Almost exactly the same except for a shorter wheelbase and obviously the body styling.

Nice rig The guy who owns the original car is a good friend of mine, so no need to inform him. Update for everyone else: I'm back from BrickCon, and I had a blast. Austin Harper, who builds some amazing motorized small scale cars (and set mods), decided to join me in the Technic section. There was only one thing to do.... BrickCon 2017 by VKTechnic, on Flickr In a few days I'll be posting a full recap of BrickCon, then this weekend I'll be taking photos of the XTerra and wrapping up the build. As for my next model, you can see it on the right side of the above picture... Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Wonderful display! Both models look great! The model to the right kind of looks like a Mercedes Edited October 12, 2017 by TechnicRCRacer Quote

VKTechnic Posted October 12, 2017 Author Posted October 12, 2017 BrickCon recap time! BrickCon Recap! by VKTechnic, on Flickr XTerra news first. The model was very well received by the public, lots of people recognized it and even more took pictures of it. It ended up winning "Most Complicated Technic", making that the fourth time I've won that award. Apparently someone wanted to make an offer for it too, but I wasn't around the model at that moment. Exciting. Aside from the model, the convention itself was a blast. Got to hang out with Austin Harper and Alexander Holroyd, both awesome builders. We brainstormed a few collaborative builds that might be built at some point in the future...maybe after I finish the other 20 models I want to build. I also managed to pick up a few older LEGO Technic sets, namely 8466 Extreme Offroader, 8674 1/8 Ferrari F1, and 8009 R2-D2. 8466 and 8674 are most likely going to be disassembled for parts, but I've got plans to motorize R2. Gotta finish that other model first though.... Quote
