No this is nothing for fitness centers

Tim S has built a pickup truck for it

and iam working on a Mercedes G with a long wheel base

whats your idea for it?

Edited April 1, 201311 yr by efferman

my ideal: empty chassis

I preffer the other way, with a bodywork done I will build the chassis .

Much better idea I am having a go at this anyway ... First proper time building from scratch a body in LDD

Nice title, April Fools?

I would love to build the chassis but I dont have any L motors.

Will give this a try!

I was actually planning to make a new MOC, and you just saved me a whole lot of work! I was planning to make this car in the scale of your chassis, but thought it would be difficult to make it so small and remotely controlled. But this is perfect!!

Anyway, here is a picture of the work in progress.. going in to a building hiatus now (girl coming home), so the e might be some time till I get to finish it...

As you can (maybe) see, this is also a Mercedes Benz Geländewagen. More specifically an MB290 "Multi Light" as used by the Norwegian Army

Looking good My WIP:

Effe's body building challenge WIP by legomuppet9, on Flickr

Just need to finish the front off (for some odd reason I always build from the back when building vehicle bodies...)

very both of yours are looking great.

cool cars, please more of something like this

My Ultimate Power Function Chassis is also a small 4WD chassis with independent suspension. I build a 1980-style Volvo-Body on it. I think it looks pretty good.

Maybe can someone build there another '70 or '80-style car body on it (like a Delorean).

@Efferman: How wide is your chassis in studs?

Greets,

Fresko

My car is based on a '70 style rally car I think

Oh, sorry, I didn't see. I was hurried.

Don't worry, I must admit it isn't obvious

@Efferman: How wide is your chassis in studs?

at the outside of tires it is 17,75 studs wide and the wheelbase is 29 studs

Finished my "entry"

I admit, the body is a bit wide... but hey, quite good for a first attempt I think

Also, the functionality of my body: the doors open, so much functionality I know...

Also something else you may be interested in, the white background is achievable by taking a screenshot (Ctrl+K or "Tool Box" then "Take a screenshot") in the building mode, it makes much better images than in the view mode

I like it!

The Mercedes looks awesome D3K!

Lego Muppet, I really like how you've gone for a sports car! I think to improve it, you could put one of these on each side of the bonnet. I really like it though. It reminds me of a Ginetta

I don't really know where I got my inspiration from, but knowing me probably something British

about the panels, they wouldn't actually fit on the side as the bonnet is only one stud higher than the wheel arches

Oops. My mistake. Is there any way to slope the sides of the bonnet at all? I just think it might enhance it a little bit.

Maybe using these would work?

Aha, yes they'd work... (I'd forgotten about them )

EDIT: and yes they do work

Thanks for that suggestion

Yes! I might actually have helped someone!

You have look up for previous post for the modification...

I like! It does work rather well if I do say so myself.
