Uniball

Hi guys!

This is my last creation and it was made for a contest in the 0937 Community - Vehicles with only one wheel.

This is my entry and it's a space tour vehicle.

Awesome I love it!

Great use of the Indy boulder!

[Catarino]

I told you already, this one is just great!!

My favorite in the contest!

Nice job! But the real question is, does it balance? If so, then it's incredibly brilliant.

I like the color scheme as well. It goes nicely with the white spaceman figure. Almost reminds me of this mech I made, but the subtle use of lime works a lot better than my prolific use of yellow, and the clear cockpit glass helps complete the mostly-neutral color scheme.

Sure it doesn't have power funtions but that doesn't mean it can't have fantastic written all over it. The semi-circle cockpit goes really well with the ball wheel and i'm suprised you got it all to balance.

I know it would be hard because of limited parts selection but i think it would look great in white.

nice work.

Simple yet effective and good lookin' too.I like the style;to use ball instead of wheel/tyre. Also canopy works perfect on this MOC.From where is "ball"?

[SirWacky]

From where is "ball"?

Indiana jones temple escape

And adventure scorpion palace.

Thanks for the comments guys!

But the real question is, does it balance?

I'm afraid not! The weight is on the top of the ball, so it just impossible to balance it...

From where is "ball"?

Sir Wacky is correct, it's from the Indiana Jones Temple Escape set. The other ball from the Scorpion Palace is darker...

Cool makes me wish I had some of those.

Funny, and maybe off topic, but kinda reminds me of the Audi concept 'car' called 'Snook', which is basically a one-wheeled vehicle for 2 people.

And your moc has a slight similarity with it, which I like!

- Just as a reference -

Oh my, that Uniball is absolutely awesome! The design is very unique, and it really looks like a space tour vehicle. Amazing job evildead!

[Batbrick]

Veru unique, and neat looking too evildead! The use of green oddly works really well, and despite the bizarre look it comes across as quite believable. Excellent use of the Indiana Jones boulder!

Batbrick Away!

[lightningtiger]

Excellent and clever design 'evildead' and I'm a conformist! !

[Brig. Brick]

very good design, very stylish and a great use of colors

[Dannylonglegs]

Very stylish, nice lighting too!

I think this looks great. I agree with those who have commented on the colors as well.

I also think it was quite creative to use the ball rather then a single wheel or track.

Well Done.

[BlueBard]

Really original design, indeed!

[Hoboman]

The thought just crossed my mind. If you could lock the axl so the ball did not roll and then filled the ball with an amount of led pellets/fishing weights then you might be able to make it stand on it's own. That would be a cool thing to have sitting on the desk. Anyway, just a thought.

Well, that's an idea!, but I would have to pinch a hole in the ball and I don't want that... but thanks anyway!

Thank you guys for all the comments!

Oh well. As I do not have that part I was unsure if there would be a way without damaging the ball.

Regardless, I do love what you came up with quite a bit.
