PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!
So I’ve wanted to make a D.va Mech for a while now, but I never got around to it.
Scott Blankfield and I agreed to both make one at the same time, so I forced myself to finish this.
See Scott’s mech here
Junker D.va:
I made her in her Junker Skin because 1. I didn’t have any pink and 2. I had already made a figure in the junker skin.
The whole mech itself was built in about 5 separate parts.
I can’t really tell you how it was built, but if you want a breakdown I’ll take some pictures for you. The legs and arms are both fully articulated, but I couldn’t make the hips twist.
You can actually fit a third of a fig in the mech, so I built a part so the head could sit, and the arms clip onto the rollcage.
That’s about it, but I’m pretty happy with it!
Thanks!
Boss

The Oobaru Mobile Work Platform comes equipped standard with a boom-mounted grabber arm capable of lifting loads up to 200 kg. Designed with worker safety in mind, the Oobaru features a cockpit rollcage, anti-slip rubberized coatings on its feet and "fingertips", and smooth rounded corners to minimize damage in case of accidental collisions.
For this build I was inspired in largely by the Maruttoys Tamotu model kits, and the fact that I had a lot of the new 2x2 corner slopes. The Friends pod matched these curves really well, but getting the arm mounted securely was kind of a pain because the "latch" is in a weird position in relation to the rest of the attachment points.
Lego has made numerous parts that are great for building forklifts, such as a rollcage and the whole arrangement for the forks, and I do have those parts in my collection. However, they're too big for this forklift at this scale, unfortunately (and have the wrong colours). So, I had to get creative and build my own.
I wasn’t able to properly participate in Mechtober this year, but did manage one Mech Monday build. Lots of inspiration taken from this artwork. Features spinning saw blades, opening rollcage, working crane and grabber arm. Was lots of fun working in this industrial style, and using lots of bright light orange.
Special thanks to Marin for providing extra incentive to build a mech!

We’re already into week five of the RogueOlympics, and this time the category was ‘chains’.
So here is a log skidder made of just 93 parts (another 8 in the minifigure and chainsaw). It is articulated like the real machines, and the front blade can be raised or lowered.
I thought of the timber industry, with things like chainsaws and logging chains being used so prominently.

I never had Rock Raiders sets, but loved the aesthetic of the line and had a lot of fun trying to capture that look with this model and minifigures. It’s a sturdy little vehicle with several play functions demonstrated in the video.
It is also a donation to Creations for Charity, so keep any eye on their store if you would like it.

Another build for RogueOlympics and this week’s category of “Risk”. With such a broad prompt it took me a while to decide how exactly to approach it. In the end I fell back on one of my favorite childhood themes, Power Miners. Which led to lots of fun, and even a simple function on the mining vehicle as when lowered the orange ‘drill’ rolls with the vehicle. 100 parts used this time.

Noble M400
Price
est $95,000
Engine
3.0-liter turbocharged V-6
Horsepower
425 bhp @ 6500 rpm
Transmission
6-speed manual
Weight
2320 lb.
The Noble M400 has 425 bhp yet only weighs 2320 lb. Sounds like the definitive lightweight sports car, doesn't it? But it's classified as a "kit car" in the U.S., which carries all kinds of negative connotations. So is the Noble for real? Turns out it's not only real, it's real good.
First, a bit of background on what a Noble is, and the process of acquiring one in the U.S. The M400 is the creation of Brit Lee Noble. After that, it gets confusing: The body and chassis are built in South Africa by Hi-Tech, imported to the U.S. by 1g Racing, in Hamilton, Ohio. After a prospective buyer purchases a rolling chassis (sans engine/drivetrain), it gets shipped to an installation shop of his choosing where a Roush-engineered (with Roush-mapped ECU) twin-turbo Ford V-6 and 6-speed Getrag transmission are installed. Whew!
While on the surface this might seem like a mess of gigantic proportions, the end result is impressive. The smooth-running 3.0-liter V-6 fires up with a couple of revolutions, settling into a quiet idle that belies the power (425 bhp at 6500 rpm and 390 lb.-ft. of torque at 5000) behind your head. Step on the long-travel throttle pedal (designed to give the driver better control) above 4000 rpm, though, and the M400 goes positively ballistic up to its 7200-rpm redline. Its blend of a medium-pitched snarl at full song and the whoosh! from the wastegates with every upshift makes you want to row up and down the positive-shifting 6-speed again and again (a far reach to 5th the only gripe here). Every time I did this, photographer Marc Urbano and I cracked up laughing, because we couldn't believe how crazy fast the car was. Testing proved 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.2, despite scorching hot temperatures.
Because of its incredible power-to-weight ratio, the Noble demands respect from its driver. It's not that it's hard to drive, but the rear tires can only do so much to control wheelspin exiting corners. Thankfully, the M400's quick-reacting chassis (a steel space frame with double-wishbone suspension front and rear) talks back to you, enabling you to catch oversteer with a quick flick of the steering wheel.
Like a Porsche 911 or a Lotus Elise, the Noble is all about weight transfer, requiring more driver attention than a typical car above 7/10ths. The front end feels light (with quick, communicative steering), producing a trace of understeer in low-speed corners, especially with power on. Trail braking works best through corners, thankfully without the snap oversteer tendencies of some mid-engine cars. And unlike most cars, which constantly remind you how heavy they are, the Noble is the opposite, at all times impressing with how light and nimble it is. This was proven by the 1.01g it pulled on the skidpad and 72.4 mph through the slalom, both near records at R&T.
Often classified as a track car, the M400 is actually a highly competent road machine. Suspension travel is quite good and the Bilstein coil-over shocks soak up bumps far better than a Lotus Elise. Although the M400 does without ABS, the firm brake pedal offers great modulation of the 13.0-in. AP Racing vented and cross-drilled rotors clamped by 4-piston calipers front and rear.
The interior is simple (crank windows, yet there's a/c), but because it's bathed in Alcantara (including the rollcage) it gives off a production-car feel, despite the unfinished plastic dash and Ford Mondeo switchgear. The super-tight pedal box is offset to the right, with possibly the smallest dead pedal ever.
1g Racing gets an allotment of six rolling chassis a month, at a price of $66,900; the engine/transaxle configuration adds another $19,000 or so. Installation brings the total to around $95,000, which may seem like a lot for a car that doesn't come complete from the manufacturer. But drive it and you'll believe: The Noble is one of the best sports cars in the world.

At Rummy's Freight and Repair...
Buddy: Aw, this is a mess! Transaxle was busted who knows when... it's got water and gook all in it.
AJ: Looks like the axle is bent too.
Buddy: Don't doubt it, the way they run this thing. We're gonna have to tear out the whole front end.
Rummy: In and out, fellas! Do whatcha gotta do, but get it done quick. And get it in the garage. We've got freight comin' in in about 30 minutes.
Buddy: You ever think about hirin' more people, Rummy?
Rummy: Yeah, and then I think about bein able to retire early, so I don't.

Remember me? I used to build spaceships out of lego. Turns out, I still do.
It's a fairly simple starfighter, I wanted to use the new Speed Champions cockpit part. And I threw in some blue rollcages and a couple of white technic flextube panels for good measure too.
It's been a while, so bear with me as I shake off the rust. Let me know what you think.

Thank You for all comments and suggestions!
What do U think about this one? :)
In 1999 a game called Rollcage was released for the Playstation. I was obsessed with this game and to this day I maintain it’s one of the best racing games ever made.
So in tribute to that game I’m creating a whole fleet of Rollcage cars. This is the first: Azure.
Creating this was a lot trickier than I thought it would be. To start with, the top and bottom both need to be identical so that the car can flip and still keep going (Rollcage’s USP). Not only that but the body could be no thicker than 5 studs due to the tires I used. When it’s moving, the bottom (top?) is a mere 1.5mm from the ground at all times. But it’s proportions mean that it never comes into contact with the ground and rolls freely.
I rebuilt my old Jeep Wrangler from the Lego Jurassic World videogame I made in 2015. I used new bricks released in these two years, built the rollcage and, definitely, made it better.

This model is in no way, shape or form related to a certain British open-wheeler!
Designed in 2013. Sure, a rollcage of bars or flex tubes may look more realistic, but at the same time there is something uniquely cool about using specialised Lego pieces to approximate a shape.

You better buckle up if you're riding this Bronco. This vehicle and many more participated in the Cars and Coffee event held at the Kansas City Auto Museum in Olathe Kansas.
On August 11, 1965, Don Frey, the Ford Motor Company Vice President and Ford Division General Manager introduced the Ford Bronco by noting the company had added another pony to the stable to join its big brother, the Mustang. The Ford Bronco became the first automobile called out specifically as a “Sports-Utility Vehicle,” and an American classic was born.
The original Ford Bronco only stuck around for 12 years, but it's presence undoubtably overshadows the succeeding generations. In a lot of ways, the indirect successor to the World War II era Ford GPW - the Blue Oval's license-built version of the Willys MB Jeep the 1965 Ford Bronco was designed to complement the then-new Ford Mustang as a fun, youth-friendly off-roader.
Ford also had Jeep square in its sights in designing and engineering the Bronco. Like the Jeep CJ-5 of the time, the Bronco was small—its wheelbase is about the same length as a modern Mini Cooper Hardtop—and designed with simple flat surfaces that were both cheap to manufacture and easy to keep protected from rocks. The Bronco was offered up in three body styles: the "Wagon," which was a two-door with a removable hardtop, a "Roadster," which came roofless and with inserts instead of doors (much like the contemporary CJ-5), and as a "Sports Utility Pickup", better known as the "half-cab," which did away with the two-person rear bench seat of the roadster and hardtop in favor of a mini pickup bed. The Roadster would last until just 1968, making it a particularly rare vehicle. The Bronco half-cab would stick around until 1973, leaving the popular wagon as the only body style for the remainder of the first-gen Bronco's life.
At launch, the Bronco was powered by Ford's venerable 105-hp 2.8-liter I-6, paired with a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive. A 4.7-liter V-8 producing 200 hp found its way under the Bronco's stubby little hood in 1966 before being replaced by a bigger 4.9-liter V-8 in 1968. In 1973, the base I-6 was replaced by a 3.3-liter I-6, and a three-speed automatic joined the fold.
According to FourWheeler, a total of 225,585 first-generation Broncos were built between 1965 and 1977 when production ended. Of those, 203,544 were Wagons, 17,262 Sports-Utility Pickups, and 5,000 Roadsters.
