Modifications on the Technic set 8110 Unimog U400.
- blue cabine
- steering steeringwheel
- black wheels, closed
- moving bucket (3 sides)
- Train bogey front and back
- Snowplough
Giving the rear wheel wells a plate more of clearance. While I'm at it, I'll rework the steering. Which might create a new problem: while the front half of the body is very sturdy, it connects to the chassis with only six studs. Altering the steering might reduce that number to four.
Should I sacrifice the opening doors for more structural strength?
GAZ-12 ZIM is a limousine produced at the GAZ from 1950 till 1959. ZIM abbreviation stands for Zavod Imeni Molotova, which reflects the part of factory's official name at the time. Models produced after 1956 did not carry the ZIM abbreviation anymore.
4 and 5-door ambulance versions GAZ-12B (ГАЗ-12Б) were also produced from 1951 till 1960. A phaeton version existed, only 3 pieces were built between 1949 and 1951 for the government elite.
Pre-production started in 1949, and it is believed that the first prototype was constructed in 1948.
At least three ZIM cars have been rebuilt for usage on narrow gauge railways. Two of them are still in use.
Amount of cars produced was 21527 pcs (all modifications).
This amazing car has been featured in the January 2011 issue of Ultra VW magazine.
It's not exactly your ordinary Volkswagen Beetle. See if you can spot the numerous accessories and modifications. At the front you'll find very rare Maico disk brakes, and the engine is fitted with a vintage supercharger! Old school in a way you have never seen before.
I made these photos during the 'golden hour' using a Canon EOS 7D with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 attached to it.
Soon the approaching rain storm will make very slight modifications to this desert landscape. Those tiny changes eventually lead to these natural beauty sites that all photographers love.
Marcus los his tooth piece ;)
I made it of apoxie for him and painted it. The thing looks like some creepy monster on its own :P
This is a modification derived from the original old frame here.

taken on the 21 dec 2012 in wiltshire uk...... Im not sure what these lines in the sky are but as you can see from the pictures they seemed to be pulling the spray left by the aircraft across the sky (see next 2 pics in my photostream). As much as i dont like to believe it, i think weather modification is real and poses a great threat to all of us and life on earth in general as we all have to breathe the same air !.. The reason i post these pictures is to try and raise awareness as i feel that the more people that know about this, the more chance there is of putting an end to this complete madness !!! For those of you who have not heard of this before please research geo engineering, chemtrails, solar radiation management... Anyway thanks for looking at my pictures and thanks to all you guys who continue to post great pictures here on flickr.....
Scarification
Hey there Harry Potter fans! You must have seen Harry’s scar on his forehead. That is something different from what we are talking about here. If you wish, you could also have a similar scar like Harry on your body (wherever you like). You just need to opt for scarification and i...
Reddit user Conc, also known as "Steve who restored the real Delorean A car"(imgur.com/a/OlWlB#0) inspired me with his modifications to improve my own set, and I'm satisfied with the outcome.

I don't know if there are any more strobists out there who own larger scale not-so-portable strobes like I do, but I think this would be more geared to you I think. I have 4 Alien Bee strobes, along with the grid spots that I really enjoy using, but they aren't the greatest thing to go "portable" with.
I like using the AlienBee/White Lightning 7" reflectors and grid spots, and wanted to find a way to use them with my SB-800 (although this could be fitted to any flash unit I believe). So, I set out to Home Depot to search the isles to see if anything would work. In the electrical section, I found this 3" to 2" pvc bushing that fit very snuggly into the 7" reflector.
It was a little long, so with a hacksaw I cut off the excess lip up to the inside support bars. Next, I outlined with a marker the shape of the SB800 onto the bushing. With a file set, I filed down the area that I outlined with marker until the flash unit fit all the way in until it was all the way in (this took a little while to shape out correctly to fit).
Once I had a good tight fit, I removed SB800 from the pvc, placed the pvc into the reflector, then re-inserted the flash unit back into the bushing (this gave a nice tight fit into the reflector).
Like I said, if you don't already own these, I don't know if this will be of any help to you. Also, maybe someone can find a better way to improvise this, but it works great for me, and maybe it will work for someone else as well!
Check out the lighting spread from using this here.
Yeah, right... Not going to happen. Ever.
One of my (small) modifications; I decided to make arches for all the open towers...
Very simple, a 4 stud wide arch brick, with two stud-pins up the bottom holes, and two 1x1 cheese slopes on those studs. Quick and simple, and I think it makes the open towers look a lot more finished.
Well I will let you in on a secret, ok it is not but anyway, when my wife comes across Lego sets on sale for about 50% off she lets me know and I thought on this one it might be worth the parts but then I decided to try an alternate build so here it is. Except for one part, a 2x4 white tile on the trunk, it would be considered an alternate.
Sienna Evans' original Alex body on the right (unmodified), and modified Tonner Antoinette body on the left.
I filed and sanded the Antoinette body neck to match the contour of the Alex body's neck. There was plenty of material in the Antoinette neck to do this without the neck becoming too thin. I also had to make the neck peg gap smaller to secure the Sienna head, and I did this by taping around the neck peg and squirting polyurethane resin onto the underside, essentially casting a space-filling washer in place. I used Smooth-On Smooth Cast 300Q.

*Discharge Mode: In this mode a single trigger pull initiates a discharge of the entire remaining magazine, RPM is slightly higher in discharge mode but the chances of jamming increase. Is nicknamed 'desperation mode'.
So...what did I do to this EAH body?
Long story short:
After I shortened the neck and upper arms, I put the bits that were cut off in an acetone resistent lidded jar and added pure acetone ( don't smell the stuff! Work in a well ventilated area!). Once the plastic had melted to the right consistency, I used it to thicken the neck, glue back together the upper arms and to elongate the knees, then once the plastic was solid again I used sandpaper to make everything smooth.
I also cut a little bit of lenght from the bottom of her forearms, and slimmed down the calves ( her forearms and lower legs are made from different types of plastic and won't melt with acetone)
Short story long:
Like people who repaint dolls know well, acetone won't damage a doll's vinyl head, but it will melt its plastic body. In the past I used this fact to my advantage to remove the kind of copyright information that's molded ( insted of printed ) on some dolls and to glue back some doll torsos that I had cracked open and limbs that I had shortened.
When I had to modify this EAH body to fit my custom mini unoa head, I first thought about thickening the neck with epoxy putty, but then I would have had to use paint to cover the mods, and paint chips and it's difficult to match anyway. That's when I remembered the plastic melting properties of acetone, and after a quick internet search which returned a lot of results about car repairs... AND this tutorial www.flickr.com/photos/6_6tina/albums/72157646135456221 I was finally able to obtain my ideal closest equivalent to a 1/6 scale Unoa body... that's not a resin fluorite Unoa light *cries*
By the way:
Almost a year ago, when I posted the first pictures of this body, I included a brief "how to" underneath a pic of the naked body, hybridized with the head of Barbie's little sister Chelsea. That photo gained thousands of views in a suspiciously very short time.
Now... I'm not bothered -AT ALL- by doll nudity, but somehow, the fact that what was basically a child's head on a fairly realistically sculpted naked body was gaininig so many views so fast made me a bit uneasy, lol :| so I deleted the picture... totally forgetting about the tutorial underneath it, so here it is again :P

Modified version of the LEGO Brick Bank (#10251).
There's now an ATM and the additional floor provides room for an insurance agent, who might not be the most respectable one.
Modification for LEGO® Technic set 8258 Crane Truck (default build). It gives set 8258 an added fifth wheel (coupler) and power supply to connect/attach trailers realistically. A (semi-)trailer has a so called king pin. This pin is at the front of the trailer and connects to the tractor or semi-truck which set 8258 is.
These modifications are in building instructions and a inventory/parts list is available for you to add this to your own 8258. By modifying 8258 with this you enable the ability to connect to soon to be released lowboy trailers!
This kingpin at the front of the trailer makes a pivoting connection with the tractor's fifth wheel. It forces the fifth wheel to open up and as soon as the kingpin is in place rubber belts forces the fifth wheel to close again. It stays there until it is manually released. By moving two levers manually the trailer can be released and thus uncoupled.
The pictures show two lowboy trailers. Both are so called detachable gooseneck trailers. The Yellow version has a liftable third axle. The Blue one a so called flip axle where a part of the frame holding the third axle is flipped on top of the second axle.
With this type of lowboy trailer the gooseneck is removed to make the deck accessible. Because the front part of the trailer rests on the surface the truck with the gooseneck still attached can drive off. In order to keep the gooseneck elevated at the correct hight is as a support. This support rests on the trucks frame.
Instructions for both shown lowboy trailer will be available soon, the first one in December 2014, the second one hopefully the 1st half of 2015.
Both lowboy trailers can perfectly be combined with LEGO® Technic set 8043 Motorized Excavator as well as with LEGO® Technic set 8275 Motorized Bulldozer. Obviously you can combine it with any of your MOCs as well.
In case you have missed it, on my website I explain why I believe the rear suspension of the LEGO 42083 Bugatti Chiron has a design flaw and how I think it could have been solved: www.nkubate.com/model-optimization-a-42083-showcase/
An interesting photograph of two Matadors, on the left is the ex Wolverhampton Corporation "standard" type. On the right is the ex Birmingham City Transport Matador. It was always said in the Birmingham City Transport workshop that the vehicle was ex Royal Navy the same as the the fleets original Matador. Since acquiring 117, Rod Handford has done a lot of research into its history. The build cards for it show it was built as an Armoured Command Vehicle, or Dorchester as they became known by the troops. These would be very low mileage when sold off by the Ministry, this one going to the well known PSV breaker Birds of Stratford upon Avon. Birmingham must have done some form of deal with him as it arrived in Tyburn Road Works around the 23 June 1959, now with a cab, from an ex RAF AEC, probably a AEC 854 refueler, (some paint still in cab and photograph indicate it was almost certainly fitted with an autovac), and new headlights. A few modifications have been found, including the road springs, it has two additional leaves in each spring which considerably increase its riding height, hence the staged photograph
I stripped out the adhesive on the light strips and put in some 3M Dual Lock velcros so to allow more options for light positioning
This is a modification of my hot rod pickup. It still has everything that you might like (motorized/remotely controlled driving/steering, lights, turn signals, working steering wheel, working V8 and radiator fan, working door handles, gearbox…) and some new features (wheels, suspension, engine, roof, front lights, interior, fuel tank, movable license plate, chrome details…). Like the old one, it is 50 studs long and 28 studs wide but it is heavier - it weighs 1285g.
