8296 alternative models (Roadster, Motorcycle, Harvester)

[Wraith777]

I prefer to build alternative models of small sets. It's because I don't have much time and effort to build models from all parts available to me. Also such restraint like a definite set of parts makes a challenge.

So, I took my favourite little technic set, 8296 and tried to squeeze all potential from its parts.

All models use only regular parts from list and no provided spare parts. I've tried to give them as much functions and detail and also use as much parts as possible. The result of my work is below.

1) Roadster

The idea was to build a car with "classic" layout: front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.

This model has:

- front wheel steering via steering wheel in the cabin;

- transverse L2 front engine, which drives rear wheels (yeah, I know, it's actually vice versa);

- suspended rear axle.

2) Motorcycle

Idea is simple - motorcycle with working engine and suspention

Here we have:

- stearable front fork (obviously);

- transverse V2 engine, which drives rear wheel via.. cardan joint (that's how they call it);

- rear wheel suspension;

- retractable stand.

3) Combine Harvester

2 big wheels and 2 small.. If I'll place 2 bigger ones in front and 2 smaller in rear I'll get.. a harvesting machine!

I've spent entire sleepless night to make it working and look right..

And that's what it has

- rotating front tool, driven by right wheel;

- rear wheel stearing;

- working 1-piston engine.

So, I'm done with this set, don't know what more to build from it's parts..

Hope you enjoy those models..

I like the motorbike,could you move the front wheel forks closer together?
