A blast from the past, Some of my older MOC's, Part 1

Hello everyone. Seeing as I haven't posted anything in a while I thought I'd have a bit of nostalgic moment and post some of my older MOC's that I made before starting this blog. Be aware that most of the pictures will be at least a bit blurry because I was using a camera on a phone.

So on to the first one which I think is the first LEGO model I took pictures of which is my AP5 Drag Racer:





This was one of the first vehicles I made that had working steering and rear suspension. This actually started out life as a kind of buggy. The rear section stayed the same but I added the long front to make it a dragster. Finally a link to the MOCpages page with more pictures: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/131417

Next up is my attempt at a Life size Helghast Assault Rifle from Killzone:




The only life size gun I built in LEGO that I took photos of (mainly because the others weren't very good). This has a couple of features I'm quite proud of first being the ability to load LEGO shotgun shells the same way it actually works in the first Killzone game. It's a shame they got rid of the secondary fire from the guns in KZ 2 and 3 but that's getting a bit of topic.

The second feature is you can actually reload the ammo magazine (Or cylinder, or can, or whatever it's called) the same way it works in the game. Finally a link to the MOCpages page with more pictures: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/131422

Right I think I'll stop there so this post doesn't get to long. Will continue posting these in parts until i run out of older MOCs to do. Hopefully I'll have some new LEGO MOCs to show you soon...

MOC: Second Chassis Experiment


Hello all. This is my second chassis experiment. I made this mainly to try and make live axles on both the front and the back which went fairly well. I also tried to do return-to-center steering which didn't go very well. Doesn't work overly well but for a first attempt i don't think it's to bad.  Also this is the first time I made a pair of seats from scratch instead of just using the ones from my 8437 Future Car.

A few of the problems with this model: the springs for the suspension are too soft and i don't have any harder springs so hence i used them, I don't think the drive train would be strong enough if there was a whole body on it and finally i ran out of pieces. hence I only made the front cabin.

As usual it's powered by a XL motor for drive, a M motor for the steering and it has the IR receiver and battery box. It also has a V12 engine and a front fan to cool the engine down. (Doesn't really need it, Just thought it would be cool.  ) I also had to nick the steering wheel from my 8110 Unimog as i don't have any spare ones. The tyres however i didn't take from my Unimog, i managed to get a spare set of 4 of them so now i have 8 Unimog tyres.  On with the pictures:

And thats it. Hope you like it.

and a video of it's functions:



And thats it. I hope you like it.

MOC: Racing Truck


Hello everyone. This is my latest MOC, A Racing Truck. It uses 1 PF XL motor for drive, 1 PF M motor for the steering and 1 battery box and 1 IR receiver. It has a working hood, working doors and a fake 4 cylinder engine with super charger. The suspension it uses is similar to the 8110 Unimog but they won't move like pendular suspension. They just go up and down. I only have one U-Joint so i had to improvise with the front suspension/steering. On with the pictures:


And a video of it:


And thats it. Hope you liked it.

MOC: Chassis and body experiment

Hello all. This is my latest creation which is a bit of a experiment. First it was to try out a chassis design that i thought of. Then i added the body which was sort of a experiment too. It's powered by one PF XL motor for drive and one PF M motor for the steering. It also has pendular suspension on the front and rear and also has a fake inline 4 cylinder engine that is connected to the drive. It also has a differential on the rear axle. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking:

And a video of it working:


And thats it. hope you like it. as always questions and/or comments are welcome.
