42110 - Land Rover Defender

@allanp

Specially for you some colorvariations..

[1gor]

@BrickWild IMHO white version looks better than other 

[allanp]

@JunkstyleGio Wow thank you  I think the metallic blue, metallic red and metallic green are great, But the regular dark green also looks very good.

The gearbox this model deserved (just the stack):

[Gray Gear]

I would love to have more "transmission gears", I do see what you did there, but how can you control which gears should transfer power?

Also, while it is cool, this takes up more space than the 4-Speed from the Bugatti.

Wow Thank you!

@nicjasno How well do the 28-tooth and 16-tooth gears mesh? I ask because, e.g., 24 & 12 are an overly tight fit (unless you use the old crown gear or the white clutch gear) and, conversely, 36 & 20 barely interlock.

I wonder how many gears were harmed in the making of this! ;-)

In this setup they mesh perfectly.

This is just a compacted proof of concept. The gears will be controlled via the standard clutches. I am waiting for parts from bricklink to be able to build the final setup.

Hi Guys, just found this thread through google, i'm planning on buying this set , just kindly wondering if somebody can create instructions for right hand drive (i'm not Lego technically minded (pun not intended lol)  & also possibly a 3d model also in rhd, cheers much appreciated.

Im planning to build it RHD too and i asked Grohl is it easy to make such changes. His answer was: "I am afraid not. You have to mirror pretty much everything on the chassis."
So, this is what i will do - just build whole chassis in mirrored variant

Time to do some serious playing!

[Polarlicht]

Just finished mine! Wheels will be painted white at some point!

Use paint that will come off by means of cleaning agent that doesn't harm plastic! ;-)

Wow very cool combination 

[Nazgarot]

Use plasti-dip! It can be pulled off like a thin rubber layer after you decide to return them to original.

I use it among other things to increase grip on lego tracks.

Nevermind...FunkStyleGio throwing me off with 42077 B-model in 42110 colors!  Looks good in those colors though

Eh, what's this?  B-model already?  Dune buggy looks sweet! 

Does it only use parts from 42110?

That seems to be the 42077 B model with the Defender's colour scheme. Unfortunately a lot of parts does not exist in this colour. 

[JunkstyleGio]

It is JunkStyleGio... But I can be funky...

 

I always do some recoloring for the new models. Still the Olive Green on the Defender is not that bad at all!

I really like the fenders, rims and the color.... So I ordered one as a parts kit to extend my collection.

It's not a bad price either.

Just got an email from lego.com that it's out of stock allready

Then I was luckier. I bought the last one today at a local store for €158.30.

They only had 2 and already regret that they did not order more of them.

That is some bold planning by the store, expecting to only sell two copies close after launch 

[Bartybum]

Got it for 20% off last night, checked again like an hour later and it was sold out.

Hehehe

Hi, does anyone know the scale for the model? Is it 1/8 scale?
