CAT 6090 as big as it builder is ^_^



CAT 6090 Lego technic

Not as big as other creations of Jorgeopesi, but based on a trully big real thing this is a Minning machinery Front Shovel masterpiece, which display an amazing technical resources, suck as: 5 motors in order to reach 8 functions, one of it pneumatically controlled with autovalve, improved rubber design tracks with bars and old style gears to accomplish maximum traction, and aesthetic details, this model is the most complete creation of Jorge ever. See more images and the final video below.

Large actuator made of 99% lego pieces

How to build long actuator without using third party pieces?

This one by Mbmc uses as body of the actuator this pillar piece, long axles and a slim fishing line to operate.




Very smart solution for long actuators, it only pushes but is long and strong, see it in action at the video:

Space ship masterpiece

I can't tell how much I like the shape, the details and the construction resources of this ship, how original is the design despite of being a "brick"

Here, the elegant creation of M_o_n_k_e_y nice example of how the little details can enhance the whole thing

Counting to 7 mechanically

Nico presents the Lego version of the Digicomp, "a mechanical computer sold as a plastic toy in 1963."

The detailed explanation of how it works is an interesting complement to this flawless creation.

The planetary Fork

Akiyuky keep applying different mechanisms to gbc modules, this time a module featuring planetary gear named "fork" with excellent gearing system, counterweight spinning at double speed and a beauty zig-zag ramp that drive the balls to the exit.

The style of Akiyuky now is consolidated and instantly recognisable by their politeness in mechanisms, colour schemes and awesomenes.


What the... Monowheel

Zblj present this funny creation can you figure how it works?? ;-)

Studded Renault 4

For those that not only think in supercars and also appreciate cars like the Sheepo's mini cooper or the modified VW Beetle here's an excellent moc of the fabulous...




The model is quite good recreated, fully suspended and has remote functions, drive and steering.

As Marinus says the roof and the doors are very fragile, that is the price of making the body of the car studded and very well recreated, as it is instantly recognisable

The Ultimate GBC train loader module

Akiyuky keep growing the awesomeness of his GBC modules, note that there's only one motor and it is inside the "train" all the rest of the movements where pure mechanical.



Another perfect clockwork, congratulations Akiyuky!

Technic Trebuchet

I don't have an official future projects list but the trebuchet is "virtually" in it, during the documentation process I've found this video of a Lego technic trebuchet, featuring technic figures, and I can't resist to share it.


There's lots of Lego examples of this medieval siege equipment in youtube. If my plans work as planed soon I will show a minifig-scale one for the Hispalug medieval dioramas ( and more medieval equipment) and a technic "big" scale one, to test maximum range....

Seems really fun, it would be a pleasure to drive and to play with it, about the model the high attention to the details and the nice piece usage mixed with the creative building techniques used in it make the model look just great.

I just realised that there's a video of this creation in movement!!

Enjoy the crawler moving and showing it's mechanisms.

Functional LEGO Wheelchair

This creation is simply awesome, I never figured that Lego technic frame can do this... A human real scale functional vehicle...



In Burf's words:

"Currently still a prototype, the LEGO Wheelchair can move a 90kg person.

It uses 6 NXT's to drive 12 NXT motors (2 per NXT for maximum power output) which are connected to 12 Rotacaster multi-directional wheels. Using these wheels will later allow for side to side movement(strafing).

There is a master NXT which controls the 6 NXT via turning on/off touch sensors. The joystick is connected to 4 touch sensors to determine direction (forward, backwards, turn left, turn right). 
The master NXT then turns 2 motors (left / right side) different directions which turn on / off 12 touch sensors (2 per NXT for backwards / forwards)."
