Thirdwigg's MOCs

[Thirdwigg]

The Typhoon is amazing. A functional technic chassis covered up with system parts for a great look and details you just can't get with studless techniques. Excellent work

Looking forward to the helicopter. A very interesting project. Good luck with that, it's not easy getting all the fucntions of a helicopter rotor in good working order.

Yep, the rotor head is the easy part, it's the swashplate and the controls where it gets difficult. I made some good progress last night. Edited August 6, 2014 by Thirdwigg

Making some progress on The Queue.

The ATS.

The MD 600N.

Also the JCB 531 is done.

[Thirdwigg]

Another small little project. This one inspired by set 6546. With working flat four engine, four wheel suspension, and steering.

Building instructions available. Much more at thirdwigg.com. Enjoy.

That's neat. It looks like the 42000 had a baby.

[MajklSpajkl]

Fantastic, have you tried it with the 42008 wheels or are they too small?

Where did you get the stickers, your design?

That Octan F1 car is awesome... I had just seen that on Brickshelf today...

Thanks, the stickers are from set 60025. The wheels from 42008 were a little too small for my liking, and didn't work too well with the suspension.

Thanks. It was a fun little project.

Next time.

Obviously the builder of this plane got to close to the propeller as it was going around which made him lose most of his hair....maybe this has got something to do with his username....

oh my god that airplane is fantastic!

great work on the f! as well

but damn...the airplane

[Thirdwigg]

Quickly finished another trial truck. Finding a good independent suspension idea is more difficult than it should be.

Happy Building.

I love your trucks man!!! I realy like how flat you make them. How are that CV joints holding under stress? Do they pop out, or did you manage to brace them enough? Btw., T55 is also my favourite of yours :-)

Thanks. I like the flat look also. It may be part of the reason so many of my trucks look the same. The CV joints have had no problems. They have not come out. There is no room for them to move as they connect right next to the UJoint.

Yeah, I like the T55 a lot too.

To celebrate my ten year anniversary of exiting the Dark Ages, I created a MOD to the set that brought me back, 8386.

Same bodywork, but I added suspension, 4 speed gearbox, and added a little more white.

Much more at thirdwigg.com. Enjoy.

[Rishab N]

Nice work. I like the gearbox linkages

[sm 01]

Very nice, I like this formula much more than 42000!

Congratulations on the tenth birthday

Thanks, it's been ten great years. Here's to the next ten.

[Kubavet]

Great mod! I l love the way You used linkages :)

[Thirdwigg]

Last night I completed the ATS. Finally. Pictures and full publishing will be done soon, but until then I had to tell someone. It's been a long time coming.

[Rishab N]

Been watching this project for a while. Really looking forward to the pics

[Thirdwigg]

I spent a little time away from building getting my building room organized, and spending a lot of time sorting. I am back to building and working on 4 projects from The Queue. The MD600 is making slow progress, as is the Allroad, so I thought I should spend a little time working on another tank.

The T-55 has all the suspension set, has placement for the PF L motors for drive in the rear. The battery will be in the front, followed by two PF M for the turret rotation and gun elevation.

Enjoy.

[Thirdwigg]

Sometimes it feels like I am not accomplishing anything but WIPs. I guess all the projects will get finished at the same time, and I'll have a busy month. Here is the progress on the CAT 586c that is being constructed from The Queue.

The MD600 is getting very close (finally), and something else small and fun is about to be published.

[Thirdwigg]

A fun little airplane for this week. More coming soon.

[Thirdwigg]

I started another car recently; this one based on the Ferrari 333 SP.

This WIP uses pushrod type suspension, but I don't like it. After fooling around with it, basic shocks mounted to the A-arm and frame work with more crispness, are just as low in mounting, and provide a stiffer setup. Is model accuracy really worth it?
