Nico71's Creations

[nico71]

Hello Everyone !

I have failed to update my topic, so I do now :

A big project, took at least 3 months to build : Citroen 2CV charleston including every original features like particular suspensions and removable bodywork :

And the video :

This creations allow me to be contacted by Official Brand Citroen, for displayed a copy of my 2Cv in their musuem about tory and reproduction of citroen car.

The second creation is a thing I would male fo a long time : a clock powered by a Pneumatic engine !

http://www.nico71.fr/steampunk-pneumatic-clock/

Of course there are building instructions for the two creations ! But not bild of material for the 2CV.

Nico, I made an LXF of the 2CV chassis. Un MOC superbe that you've built. Hope you do not mind.

Wow, that pneumatic clock is awesome, all the mechanisms are perfect!

Hi Nico,

I sent you an email oct. 27 about your road grader MOC and you never replied, so... here it is

Hopefully my inventory will be useful to someone down the line.

Bonjour,

J'ai reproduis votre niveleuse Lego à partir des photos sur votre page web!

http://www.nico71.fr/road-grader/

En la déconstruisant j'en ai fait l'inventaire (en anglais, car avec les Lego je travaille mieux en anglais) . J'espère que quelqu'un trouvera ça utile!

Notez que les substitutions de couleurs que j'ai du faire s'y trouvent dans l'inventaire (les roues, panneaux et quelques

autres pièces que j'avais pas en jaune.)

En important ce fichier dans open office calc J'arrive à un total de 633 pièces!

Merci encore pour les nombreuses photos.

What an awesome deux chevaux!

Really good job on the outside and the inside.

Love the suspension and the way you fitted the engine, gearbox and steering in the front.

[Balrog]

Hi Nico,

I made a conversion of your Trophy Truck with CVT. I made it manual and included some other things instead of the CVT and PF. I included the 4-speed transmission of your Pro-Truck, seats, a V6 fake-engine and HOG-steering (though the HOG is not yet available here). The model is still 4x4.

This is still the first iteration. I just thought, since this is originally your creation, I could post my sneak-peek here. The plan is to make a digital model now, then disassemble, re-work the center of the chassis with the transmission and steering, then re-build with a more reinforced chassis, slightly softer springs and some other changes, which I already though about.

First of all will be a change of the gear ratio. I kept the original ratio in the portal hubs. But pushing it around in 1st and 2nd gear is really bad and not working very well.

Hi Nico,

I sent you an email oct. 27 about your road grader MOC and you never replied, so... here it is

Hello, sorry to have not answered ! I have arround hundred messages (youtube, mail and facebook) of fan each day, now I can not handle and respond to all people. therefore, sorry to have missed your email.

Thanks you all for your comment !

[Gee]

Love the 2CV!

[nico71]

One year after my loom, I present you a braiding machine which makes rope of wristband :

I let you watch this and I will make a fully description as soon as my blog will be up to date.

[Jim]

Nice build Nico

I really like these kind of machines and yours is no exception.

The switching mechanism for alternating the output direction is very clever.

[KirTech LAB]

Great MOC!!! Incredibly complex mechanism! And really high productivity :)

[NevynPA]

That is absolutely astounding.

[Hrafn]

Very nice! I too like the switching - it's always great to see such nice clean mechanical solutions.

[aol000xw]

This is what I call Technic.

[Splat]

Great work Nico. I'm a big fan of your Lego machines.

[Gee]

Fantastic! To echo the above sentiments - this is what I call Technic! So nice to see this sort of thing in a Technic world awash with crawlers and vehicles (not that that is necessarily a bad thing).

Wouldn't it be great if LEGO made some sets that were actually useful machines such as this.

Great stuff Nico!

[nico71]

Hello, thank you for all your comments !

I am also a quite bit lazy of vehicle and trial truck, that is why I prefer at this time machinery, more demonstrative, purely technic, nothing is hidden, all mechanical system is shown because it is nice, maybe it is a sort of kinetic art.

I am currently shooting the pictures for the building instructions :)

[Boxerlego]

Wow! That is incredible!! The pattern design on the rope looks awesome.

[Junpei]

That's amazing! I love all the mechanics behind it and the realistic functionality, all recreated with Lego

[JGW3000]

Very nice and an inspiration! Thanks for posting

[ReflectioN]

One of the more impressive Technic builders, I'm surely gonna look into building the Red 4x4 truck with CVT transmission.

[NevynPA]

My 3 little girls were all amazed by it. As soon as there are instructions and a parts list, I'm going to have to look at how much I need to get to build one!

[Rishab N]

Amazing machine!

[Blakbird]

I've decided to try to build Nico's braiding machine, and as always, the first step for me is building it in MLCAD. This not only gives me a parts list, it gives me a preview of how everything goes together. In order to build the CAD file, I need to think about every single part. I decided to tackle the hardest part first: the main drum. No doubt this is an example of something that would have been a million times easier in LDD or SR3D, but I like to challenge myself and I love geometry!

Not too bad for a day's work!

[Rockbrick]

i'm lost for words...
