[TRIPLE] Mystery Build. A Transformer?

[VKTechnic]

NOTE: This is not an official entry. This is a WIP thread for one of my possible entries into the Triple Build Challenge.

I'm going to be brave (or possibly stupid) and start a WIP for my first entry. I have a really unique idea planned, but sadly, it has a very predictable start: a car.

For now, it features steering, folding seats, and a spinning fan that's barely visible in the above picture. The fan serves a purpose, don't you worry.

Looking good! Very clean lines so far, keep up the great job.

I noticed ur Ujoint is cracked

Any idea how many parts so far?

That's probably the thing that worries me the most right now -- I have no idea. It seems to be around 300 now, but then again, maybe that's just what I want it to be

[Junpei]

It looks like a good start. Doc_Brown, how do you sound surprised? All of my 10 u-joints are cracked at the end, axles slide out of them like the new 8t gears Maybe it's time to buy some new ones.

Is it just me or does that think look like a transformer.....

[Rishab N]

Looking good!

I'm pretty sure Alasdair is right, now at second glance, it really looks like it. Or maybe the HoG wheel is just supposed to be at 45 degrees?

Sharp!!

I think you don't need to worry about the part count too much. This seems like a perfect small-to-medium sized model to me

Thanks for posting the WIP. Reminds me I need to create the official entry topic.

[skriblez]

This looks smooth! Very nice work so far :)

[peter_m]

Ah! 8070/Dodge Viper style! I like it already :)

[TasV]

So... if it IS a transformer... does that count as 1 model or 2

True!

That's why I can't wait to see your entry

[Alasdair Ryan]

Or entrys?

[Lakop]

Lovely. You should be able to count the parts though. Maybe count them now before you move on.

I don't think I've ever told myself that I have enough detail in my models and listened. Here's some progress:

Any and all feedback is appreciated, as usual.

Thanks for the feedback!

[VKTechnic]

Moving on to the next model. This is where things get interesting...

As always, I appreciate any feedback you guys have!

[skriblez]

I have no idea what that is but i like it!

[Marcel1980]

It doesnt have any steering. What the hell is it?

[Rishab N]

I really don't know what this one is....

[grum64]

Mmmm...?

[darsedz]

bottom side of some demonstrator stand, powering whels of red car?

Like a backwards dyno tune?

[Junpei]

What? I have no idea what the hell it is. I love it!

[Hrafn]

No steering, 4WD with a PF-M geared up 20/12, and a winch? Hm. Is it part of a trailer? If it weren't for the lack of steering I'd think maybe it was going to be an airport tractor / tug.
