MOC: Large Mining Transport.

Hello again. Here is one of my Lego Rock Raiders mocs. The Large Mining Transport or LMT. It's primary role is to transport energy crystals and ore from the mining site to the base. IT can also drill walls with the drill at the front. It has three M power functions motors. one for each track and one for the drill at the front. The rear bucket can also tip back using the knob gears on either side. now on to the pictures.

From Large Mining Transport
just like usual a overall view of it first.

Here's a picture of the opposite angle to the first picture.

The rear bucket tipped back. A fairly simple mechanism but effective.

A close up of the cabin and driver. The cabin it modelled after the actual part that is used in the official models.

From Large Mining Transport
Here you can see the entrance to the cabin and where the tools are stored as well as the two IR receivers for the motors.

From Large Mining Transport
Here is a close up view of the rear where the right track motor is as well as part of the battery box. You can also see the mechanism for the rear bucket.

Here's a picture of one of the two drilling tools that are on the LMT.

Finally a overall picture to end with. And that's it. please check back often as i will be posting more of my Lego mocs and some videos of my first attempts at Lego stop motion animation.

MOC: Spaceship collection 2

Hello again. Here is a collection of spaceships that i built at the same time. There's five of them each of which i tried to make with different technique. All but the black one use the SNOT technique. First a view of all of them together.

From Space Ship collection 2
Starting from the biggest a view of the orange one. This one is mainly made out of parts from the 7171 Mos Espa Podrace™ set.

Next is the green one. This one is also mostly made out of the 7171 Mos Espa Podrace™ set.

From Space Ship collection 2
Here's a view of the blue one.

Second to last is the back one.

Lastly is the smallest one. I've built this one several times but i think it goes with these.

Finally some rear views of them.

MOC: AP8 HotRod

Here's another one of my mocs. The AP8 is based on hotrods and its motorized with power functions motors. It uses a XL motor for the drive and a M motor for the steering. It also has working front and rear suspension although to front suspension didn't work that well. This is also the first model i've made that has a successful two speed gearbox.

From AP8 HotRod
As you can see to roof can fold down into the boot.

From AP8 HotRod
Here you can see the roof folded down.

Here is a view of the front section. It has three superchargers which seems alot but i just couldn't resist putting three on it.

From AP8 HotRod
Here's a slightly blurry picture of the interior. You can also see the gear stick for the gearbox.

From AP8 HotRod
Now lets have a look at the more technical side to this model. Here's a view of the underside of the car. You can see the front suspension on the far right and the rear suspension on the far left. You can also see the gearbox in the middle.

MOC: Nebulon B frigate

This is a remake of a really old Nebulon-B frigate i made years ago. this used up nearly all of my parts. hence the random colours. As you can see there is four layers to the thin middle section. the top layer is plates, the second layer is some technic 1x14 brick's connected by technic pins, the third layer is some normal 1x14 bricks and the fourth layer is more plates. you can actually hold it by the middle of the thin part without it breaking. it stayed fairly well on the chair as well. i may have dropped it twice but there it is.


More pictures through the link under the pictures.

MOC: Race Plane

This is a Race Plane based on those used in the RedBull air race. It's got a working Rudder, working ailerons and working elevators. I didn't have enough of the same colour peices so i tried my best to make some sort of a colour scheme.

A overall shot of the plane.

It from the front.


From Race Plane
A shot of the cockpit. It took me a while to get it just right but i think it turned out well.


From Race Plane
The tail. again it took me a while getting the elevators right but i'm pleased with how it turned out.

My second blog.

Hi all. I've decided to give my Lego MOCs a blog of there own so here it is. This is where you'll find my Lego models and other stuff to do with Lego.
