P4trickvH Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Well at the moment waiting on a few parts for the main model that i was still missing, but still had 3 sledes. Here the pictures from the progress so far. Slede 1 Slede 2 Slede 3 Quote
P4trickvH Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 were is the 3the slede for Just some building materials and now i can also vary even more with what the indrik can pull. Quote
Ape Fight Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I like it, and it sure is a challenge re-creating Maj's masterpiece, but sorry, I wouldn't call it a 'MOC' - it's more a 'SEC' (Someone Else's Creation). Good luck with the build though : ) Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 This project is absolutely cool! I like the original model and I like this YOC (your own copy)! Colors are amazing Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I had to blink twice to see if it was the real thing or a render... Awesome! And Mahjqa's MOC is brilliant of course. Quote
mahjqa Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 This is absolutely weird to look at. Just that someone took the time to rebuild this just using pictures and a digital file of the chassis... Great work filling in the gaps that weren't covered by either. And spending 600 bucks just to get the parts? Wow. That gets me thinking about how I didn't have to order anything for this, I just had it lying around... Quote
P4trickvH Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) And finnaly the final result, waiting for the last parts took ages. For more pictures check out my Flickr account, see signature. Edited June 16, 2011 by P4trickvH Quote
mahjqa Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Great work! So, having built it, any comments on it? Is there something you (would have) improved? Also, it's just a detail, but on my Indrik I staggered the tracks, like this: This actually makes the ride a bit smoother, even with the parts added. Quote
Sokratesz Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Frankly, I'm amazed people will spend so much money to recreate something that's already been done using very specific parts that have limited use in other models. Quote
Enilder Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Frankly, I'm amazed people will spend so much money to recreate something that's already been done using very specific parts that have limited use in other models. some of these MOCs are great though. i am building other people's MOCs and it's jaw dropping how great they are :) Quote
Sokratesz Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Well, for 700 bucks you could buy 3 motorized excavators and a bulldozer and be able to build it in yellow with 100 bucks spare - and have thrice as many parts for your money :) - Sok. Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Sometimes it is not the money spent on a model, but the gratification on (re)building a model! Quote
P4trickvH Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 The fun thing about rebuilding someones MOC is not only having the model, it's also the research done before ordering the parts, then building it in LDD,SR3D,Ldraw or any other digital designer program and then finally building it. And at last enjoying the accomplishment of having build it and owning such a great model. It's not a thing you do every day and i only pick models i think of that are really worth it. The feeling is much greater having build or rebuild an MOC then purchasing an original LEGO product. And to awnser mahjqa's questions, now after having build it i was thinking what it would have looked like in white. And regarding improvements, well you did an amazing job and i think it's perfect and doesn't need any improvements. Except mabye for a limitation of the amount you can steer the tracks, because they come in to contact with one and another when the steering radius is to big. Quote
technicmad Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Great build. I love the in-progress pictures. IMO re-building someone else's MOC is a great way to start as we are not all creative geniuses and need some practice :) To much, i think around €600-€650. Didn't really keep track i ordered at like 30-40 stores to get all the parts. Ha, wish I could do that... wife would kill me :D Quote
antsiranean Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) That's plenty of money you've spent, but it's a great model. I admire how you've recreated someone else's MOC (although I do admire Mahjqa more). Inspiring, both original MOC and COMOC (Copy Of MOC...). Or maybe MOCOMOC (My Own Copy Of MOC)... In conclusion: I like the MOC and respect HOCOMOC (His Own Copy Of Mahjqas Own Creation). Enough! Edited June 21, 2011 by antsiranean Quote
Badger Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Now you are also selling it on Bricklink without mahjqua's permission and without his name , also with over €100 profit . Disgusting ! Rant over ! Quote
Meatman Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Now you are also selling it on Bricklink without mahjqua's permission and without his name , also with over €100 profit . Disgusting ! Rant over ! Not cool thing for him to do. He must have pulled it from his bricklink store. It doesn't appear to be for sale anymore. Quote
Badger Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Not cool thing for him to do. He must have pulled it from his bricklink store. It doesn't appear to be for sale anymore. Thats good :) Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Maybe he sold it? Never the less: this is something between two people.... I guess they worked it out! Quote
