Nico71's Creations

[Beck]

Simply, brilliant!

[zweihander]

You never cease to amaze me Nico71.

[Wedge598]

Nico, you are a genius. I love your work and am envious of your abilities.

This weekend I took a shot at building the Honda. I don't have the RC parts so I converted it to a standard model by putting in some extra beams to stiffen it out where the motors and battery box where.

I love your attention to detail in the suspension and engine. I may some slight modifications to the rear wheel hubs to prevent them from slipping out of place when I press down on the suspension. I also made a very simple modification to provide a sturdier support for the front suspension cover. Since I only had gray ribbed hoses in shorter lengths my exhaust system is slightly different but still contains the same number of pipes. I made a few other minor mods to the windscreen to suit the parts I have.

I'm waiting for my order of universal joints so I can add the final sway arms and the it will be complete.

If you are interested I can post some pics of my mods.

Thanks for great model!

Currently building Nico's Citroën 2 CV, it looks really good and like the original. He even amazes during the build not only with the finished models

[nico71]

Thank you for your comment, glad that you aprecciate my work.

News :

The building instructions for the crawler grabber is ready, available for 5€ and a free one as a photo sequence. Again many thanks to thorsten splelt.

Have a nice building :)

Excellent!

I'll probably start a new project and I will study very carefully what you do.

Very nice tank. I tried to build it in LDD and I must say it's very rewarding. When I first saw Nico was using 5 motors I was not sure why so many. Plenty of functions, very nicely done! I had to make some minor changes to circumvent LDD's anti-collision feature.

Nice build and rendering !

New creation : A 8x8 Crawler vehicle.

[BusterHaus]

Good offroad performance! Does it just use one battery pack?

[oracid]

Very interesting !

I would have liked to see a little more about its capabilities.

Very interesting !

I would have liked to see a little more about its capabilities.

That's enough motivation to build it

Edit: Never mind, I was thinking of the track loader

Oh some times here that I have not posted my creation ! any way, that the new one and a big one : a lego galileo clock. after month of work (rare for me) here it is :

Of course with pro building instructions for sale (also a free one again :) ) and a special video for set up the clock !

And if you have missed it : I havemade some other creation :

A pneumatic switchless engine : http://www.nico71.fr/switchless-pneumatic-steam-machine/

Simply amazing once again, really impressive, definitely on my to do list. Thanks again for sharing the instructions.

Out of curiosity, how accurate is your setup?

[nico71]

Pretty accurate in fact ! I manage to get only one minute for 12h of functionning :)

[teflon]

Great Scott!!

This is quite amazing. I know that the accuracy is more related to the pendulum, but to use plastic gears to get everything working is just great. I think I'll give it a try together with my son. He'll for sure learn quite a bit about mechanics.

I once tried to make a clock, lets just say it was not great but this is amazing.

[Gonkius]

This clock shouts for an automatic wind-up mechanicsm! As you have a differential already, this should not be to complicated. A clock that needs to be wound after a few hours is not very useful to show the time...

I really like to see how others solves all technical details that is needed to make a working clock in LEGO. You could use the official boat/train weights instead of the bottle, I have almost 700g in my clock and it's smaller than your beer bottle.

I really admire your work to make instructions for your clock. I have not even considered doing this for mine:

New video !

And some lecture :

:)

[zux]

You got the spirit of B-group perfectly, without copying any of the existing models.

Nice solution using 7mm ribbed hoses in suspension to transfer the motion to wheels. I might rebuild suspension on my P205 incorporating this and be able to fit the differential now.

[Bricksonwheels]

Cool!. it is some kind of Opel 400 RS Delta T16 6R4 now...

[nico71]

And new creation !

[nerdsforprez]

This is excellent.  Love how there is so much diversity in your builds.  

My daughter came over and peered over my shoulder as I watched the video.  Now it looks like she wants me to build one

[Lego2016Lego]

I love how you build stuff that is not vehicles.

[N-4K0]

Really cool braiding machine, this is the kind of stuff I would never even think of trying to make.

[grum64]

Fantastic!

I love your builds, they're just so varied. As much as I admire all the vehicles we see on these pages it's great to see something so different. Great work.
