Talented LEGO builder and Youtuber ord shared a video in his channel featuring a varity of different Technic mechanism all of which shows another solution where circular motion is converted to linear motion. Some of the mechanisms are powered by motors as well. Check out the builders youtube channel for more LEGO Technic creations.
LEGO recently shared images for the upcoming Technic model for McLaren Formula I Team 2022. Click on the images to enlarge. The shaping, colorscheme and prints/stickers are all look very accurate to the real 2022 Mclaren Formula I car and this set is surely a must have for Technic collectors.
Technic MOC's fairly uncommon among our blog posts but when we do post Technic MOC's we select the most unique and awesome designs we came across. This post-apocalyptic warmachine based on a harvester was recently shared by flickr.com user and talented builder Horcik Designs who is incredibly talented in both Technic and System type MOC's. According to the description this MOC was built for the MadMax contest in Eurobricks. I really like the earth-tone colors and greebling all around the design which is not very common in Technic designs. Spikes, horns and tooth pieces all around the vehicle adds a lot to the violent and aggressive look.
After a long break, we continue our series of Special Interviews starting with a very talented model builder. This weeks guest of honor is Beat Felber a.k.a. Engineering with ABS from Switzerland. He is known for his amazing realistic and huge vehicle model MOC's. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions but you should check the builders Flickr photo-stream for tons of amazing creations
Kaplan: We already know you are one of the best
LEGO MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that?
Beat: First of all I would like to thank you for the
opportunity to share some of my thoughts with other LEGO fans out there. Rather
than being a top MOC'er, I consider myself to be an avid scale modeller. My name is Beat Felber and I live in the
northernmost part of Switzerland, close to the border with Germany. I am aged
40 and work as an engineer at an electric power plant.When not building LEGO models, I tinker with
and drive a 1984 Land Rover 110, do some photography and I am also a
firefighter with the local volunteer fire department. Back in 2001 I decided to share my LEGO
creations with other like-minded people on the internet. It was the birth of my
homepage www.engineeringwithabs.ch. I called this site Engineering with ABS
because I thought it describes what I am doing: building models of technical
stuff using LEGO bricks made of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). In the
meantime, I switched over to Flickr. The original homepage is still online but
not maintained any more.
K: Do you remember the day when you got your
first LEGO set? Which set was it? And How old were you when you started playing
with LEGO bricks?
B: The first sets must have been Duplo sets. Of
course, I don’t remember them exactly any more. But I do have fond memories of
my very first Technic Set: Technic Universal Building Set 8030. I got it as a gift from my late granddad when he was celebrating his 60th
birthday. I just turned four years old that day! My first City set was the Shell ServiceStation 377.
Each set will include a tile piece with unique number laser-engraved on it. The set also includes a total of six new elements including a new wheel piece.
LEGO model master-builder and flickr.com user sm 01 shared this amazing motorized Hot rod vehicle model in his photo-stream. This black coupe is greatly shaped with Technic pieces. The details of the engine section is amazing as well. Check out the builders video for the MOC.
Day by day Summer 2016 LEGO sets appear from different sources. In Toy Fair 2016 which was run at Nuremberg , give us opportunity to meet new LEGO sets early. A LEGO Technic car which has camouflage graphic used on real cars displayed in fair. Set number is 42056 and it is very similar to Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It is obvious that we're going to have best looking LEGO Technic sport car this summer.
Generally, I think technic based creations lack the aesthetic touch, but this particular one changed my mind. This chopper by Frantisek Hajdekr is both chubby and muscular but also it is elegant and makes anyone with taste wants to ride. Even if I get stuck on traffic every day I keep being a car guy but I promise here, if any producer (not custom :D) would sell a machine quite like this, I will be selling my 4-wheeled hunchback. Thank you so much Hajdekr for introducing me new horizon! I also want to thank balloon pieces for being so curvy :D.
