Who likes to do lego's?

I was wondering who likes to create things with Lego's so I started this thread so you guys can show off your stuff. Sorry about the bad quallity.

The truck is 30 long and 10 wide in the frount and 12 wide at the back axals.




The trailer is 50 long and 12 wide at the axals.


The backround is the chat room for the fourm here.

Yeah i still play with Lego, I love the stuff. Here's the truck Im currently working on. Its a model of a Morris C8 FAT which is around 1:13 scale. I have full 4 wheel drive with slip differentials on each axle. Both front and rear axles have perpendicular suspension. The drive is from a lego power functions XL motor and the steering is done by a power functions M motor and has a final gear reduction of around 13:1 allowing it to climb a 65 degree slope.

I have only got the chassis and drive completed and is able to be driven, its not hugly good off road as its too light and it has no springs pushing the wheels into the ground.





Lego digital designer version, I bit ahead of the physical model but not too far.


This model's construction is on hold while Im working on my tractor.

Nice Build Cornish.

Thanks, yeah its the most complex moving model I've built so far. I will get competed one day

Looks like you have bionicles mixed in with your legos. My kids love that stuff

i usually build planes or 18 wheelers, when i do i make the trailer WAYYYY out of scale, usually about 3' long

I still have my original lego's - bot a few of those MEGA block kits ( rally car, couple motorcycles , semi truck with indy car, large indy car and a Ford GT ) the semi and indy car took me like 3 days to build ( HUGE kit) - set it on a shelf and my dog knocked it off acidentally - freaking legos everywhere. I havent rebuilt it yet.

Most my regular set i made custom cars and trucks years ago - theyre still in a box in my closet.

Most of that comes from my liking of building things - been building models cars for years as well - alot are stock and some are 'modifed' heavily.

One time i built ( still have it) a 90's dodge ram snap tite pickup - wasnt happy with stock, so used a different frame, cut the hood open for a motor, made the bed tilt , 'stationary' mock hydraulics ( can pose in different hieghts) - best part was mounting 10 headphone speakers in it ( long gone- blew em all out) - hooked it to my home stereo and could hear it two rooms away.

I think my legos as a kid really sparked my imagination and inner mechanic. I've since graduated to more expensive legos, cars/trucks/atv/mowers/RC. On a sidetrack, does anyone love the lego video games? Lego starwars and lego batman are 2 of my favorite games(series).

The Lego Game series was crap.

My friend gave me a xbox demo disc with lego star wars ( thought it had GTA on it, but didnt ) on it - i played it a few times- its pretty cool.

Ya some of the games are good, I have all the older ones for DS. Legos are awesome!

I still play with legos too. Just built this a couple days ago. It's a hand rail car.

That hand cart is awesome, that's one things I've never made.

Thanks, I like building railroad related things. I built a Shay type geared steam engine a while ago. I still have it on display.

Cool! A lot of older pieces there.

Oh yeah. Some of these pieces are older than me. About 1993.

Ha! The classic sets are cool.

For sure! We have a huge bucket full of various pieces of various ages.

Awesome. I've got a lot of sets, but not too many pieces.

That's how it always starts man.

oh ya.

Nice train I wish I had that kind of Lego's.

HAHA. Thanks. I could do much better now if I had the time. I hand car I just threw together in an evening.

lol

Careful now, I started playing with legos well before 93, haha. Guess that makes me old.
