VKTechnic Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) I'm back! Had a building session for 3 hours yesterday, and the result is a 200 piece ATV! Features: - Rear independent suspension - Front pendular suspension - HOG steering - Opening rear gate Let me know what you guys think! Edited June 30, 2014 by Victor Kojenov (TFOL) Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 The front and back looks very good,but maybe you should try and improve the cab a bit more. I would of used 3mm ridged hose with two small pins for the top of the cab. Quote
gsia17 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 It realy good looking! All simply and concisely Quote
VKTechnic Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Cute! What piece did you use for the hood? I used 49423. The front and back looks very good,but maybe you should try and improve the cab a bit more. I would of used 3mm ridged hose with two small pins for the top of the cab. I don't have any rigid hose that I haven't already cut (oops ) Quote
VKTechnic Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Just finished editing the final picture! And here's the obligatory parts picture: That's 200, right? Quote
Freekysch Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Very good entry, i like it very much. I find it looking more like a mini-jeep, but nevertheless a cute little entry. PS. Nice pics ! Quote
Jim Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Victor, To be honest; I am not too fond of the model itself, but your presentation is spot on!!! I would be very happy if other contestants would present their entry this way. Compliments PS How does the front steering work? Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Those wheels...OMG....my favorite wheels of all the times! still have them from the crane 8460 released in 1996! 18 years after and still have it! Anyway spot on your presentation...but as Jim said I'm not too keen on your proposal! Quote
VKTechnic Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Victor, To be honest; I am not too fond of the model itself, but your presentation is spot on!!! I would be very happy if other contestants would present their entry this way. Compliments PS How does the front steering work? To be honest, i'm not quite happy with the model idea either, but all my other ideas were way too complex (walking scorpion, multiaxis robot arm, etc.). Maybe I'll try a few other models, since this isn't final. Anyways, the steering works like so: The orange parts are the body mounts, purple parts are gearing, and green parts are the hubs. Very good entry, i like it very much. I find it looking more like a mini-jeep, but nevertheless a cute little entry. PS. Nice pics ! It was actually inspired by Polaris ATV's Quote
Lakop Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I like this. I also have some of those wheels in white and yellow, it's good to see them. Great pictures too. H Quote
anton1678 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Cool! This isn't my favourite, but the presentation is awesome and the model itself has all the right functions I wouldn't really call it ATV though Quote
Rockbrick Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Presentation is great - and i'm in no doubt you will make some changes as the deadline approaches Quote
Doc_Brown Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I really like it! and your presentation is outstanding! Awesome job. Quote
CNT2 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) yes cool model & good photos, but I think it needs 2 more wheels ... I would be very happy if other contestants would present their entry this way... does that mean image stitching is allowed ? 1 of the rules was (I think) only 1 photo allowed, but above clearly shows 2 smaller images stitched into a larger image this should be clarified in the rules please Edited July 1, 2014 by CNT2 Quote
z3_2drive Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Awesome model! I would like it even more if the tailgate was red instead of yellow, and possibly replace the light bluish grey in the rear with dark bluish grey. Color schemes with 3 colors max. are the most appealing IMO. Good luck! Quote
Jim Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 yes cool model & good photos, but I think it needs 2 more wheels does that mean image stitching is allowed ? 1 of the rules was (I think) only 1 photo allowed, but above clearly shows 2 smaller images stitched into a larger image this should be clarified in the rules please That's a valid point. I will clarify this in the rules and especially in the Entry topic. This image is like the backside of the box, where the features are highlighted. Very nice way of presenting your entry. Quote
Appie Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I think it is a cute ATV. I like the pendular axle and bench Hi Victor, To be honest; I am not too fond of the model itself, but your presentation is spot on!!! I would be very happy if other contestants would present their entry this way. Compliments PS How does the front steering work? Good to know this is prefered for the entries. I actually wanted to put images around my "box image" highlighting the functions. Quote
