My first attempt at an all technic minigun. I don't know if it's any good because I haven't seen any other examples, but I'm sure you can tell that it is a minigun. :)
Technically the Manta was based on the Ascona.
The Manta was created to compete with the successful Ford Capri.

Trying to learn a new technic. Doesnt go very well. Need to use it as silhouettes in a sunset, I am about to do. Now I lost confidence. Stupid. Getting old :-/
For my coming Jabba's palace I've built some technical device. I've made an instruction to see how I used some SNOT-techniques.

My first-ever Technic MOC! It's an alternate build from 8259 Mini Bulldozer, I guess it's a bulldozer . . . tank . . . thing? It started as an attempt to make treads that would rotate/go when you turned the knob in the back. I'm happy to report that I was successful at making my first technic function. However, it's a pretty dumb function - you have to turn that knob like 20 times to move the thing an inch. Not to mention that because it uses a worm gear, the treads don't turn if you try to push it around manually.
It turns out that building with liftarms and connectors and pins and such is really, really different from building with system elements! You have to build everything from the inside out, which is hard to get used to. Anyways, my appetite is officially whetted; now I've got my eye on the new Front Loader.
Here's one that I built in Bricksmith some time back, but just recently got all the right parts to build it for real. It uses a simple leg mechanism that was mostly just an excuse to use those cool bent liftarms in old brown. And, of course, some cheese slopes.

At start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seater grand-tourer R129 SL and the Mazda MX-5, Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991 under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn and 12 1:5 scale models being built in the first half of 1992. By the middle of the year, five of them were proposed again in full-scale. In early 1993, the final design was selected and approved by the board, with the German design patent being filed on September 30, 1993. On April 22, 1996, the new production SLK-Class, based on the R170 platform was introduced at the Turin Motor Show. SLK 230 Kompressor launch model became a competitor to the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3. It was powered by a 193 hp 2.3 L supercharged straight-4 engine and a choice of automatic transmission or 5-speed manual transmission. The SLK was a modern incarnation of the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 190SL by returning to four cylinders and a 94-inch (2,400 mm) wheelbase. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190SLs, and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The very first U.S.-market R170 Mercedes SLK was completed on November 1, 1996 and went on sale in January 1997 for the 1998 model year. The last was completed on April 7, 2004.
Vario-roof
The roof design developed by Mercedes-Benz consists of a folding steel hard top which is divided in half along an axis at right angles to the direction of travel. Both halves are linked by a kinematic mechanism which is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system with five cylinders controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated. It opens by tipping to the rear so that the two roof halves have sufficient freedom of movement to pivot backwards as the vario-roof opens; the roof sections then position themselves one on top of the other, and disappear into the boot. If the roof is to be closed, the same sequence of movements is performed in reverse order. The hydraulic system stows the vario-roof in the upper section of the boot. A plastic roller blind separates it from the luggage space below, an area with a capacity of 145 litres in the first-generation SLK. With the vario-roof closed, the load volume increased to a substantial 348 litres (12.3 cu ft). Two fixed roll-over bars behind the seats worked with the particularly strong A-pillars to form an integrated system offering a high degree of roll-over protection.
The steel roof provides added protection, which is normally found in a coupe, but with the enjoyment of a convertible at the same time. The technology was considered advanced as its rivals still had folding cloth tops.
2000–2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK
In 1997, development on updates to the R170 began and by early 1998, design work on an updated SLK was completed and patented on February 2, 1998.[7] In February 2000, the SLK received a facelift which included new front and rear bumper designs, body-coloured side skirts and the introduction of new wing mirrors incorporating indicators. The range was expanded to include a new entry-level model SLK 200 Kompressor and a new V6 in the SLK 320. Technical improvements included the addition of Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and a new 6-speed manual transmission. A stabilizer bar was added to the rear and the front one was reinforced. A 3.46:1 axle was added for the manual shift SLK, and the fuel tank grew from 12 to 14 gallons.
In 2001 a new AMG model was added, with a 349 hp (260 kW) supercharged version of the 3.2 L V6. This SLK 32 AMG was the most powerful R170 SLK, and was a direct rival of the BMW M Roadster and Porsche Boxster S. It was only offered with the newly engineered five-gear "SpeedShift" and boasted 35% quicker automatic shifts. All engines were hand built by AMG by an individual engineer. The SLK32 AMG's engine has two spark plugs per cylinder for maximum combustion and was fitted with an intercooled Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger. Brakes became 13.15" diameter from 11.8" standard. AMG production ran between Aug 2000 and March 2004. Only 4,333 were built in total, of which 979 were retained for Germany, 2,056 exported to the USA and 263 to the UK.
In July 2004 a Special Edition was launched prior to the replacement with the new R171 SLK in 2005. The R170 lived on as the Chrysler Crossfire until 2008, sharing substantial elements of the SLK including engines and interiors.
The SLK in the USA
The SLK was announced to the USA market on Sept. 7, 1997 as a 1998 model. The SLK was on Car and Driver 's Ten Best list for 1997 and was named “North American Car of the Year” by CAR & DRIVER magazine for 1998. Only in the USA sale of the SL320 (6 cylinder) was ended when the SLK arrived to distance it from the senior SL.

So, we have managed to lose some grey wheel hubs over the years and I didn't want to take the space sets apart again yet, hence the red "cog" wheels here on 8845.

I made this illustration of the tonearm of the famous Technics 1200 turntable for my man Meltman. He's going to have it tattoo'ed on his arm soon.. if he still dares to.

I thought this had packed-in on me, but recently got it working again. A real surprise was when I put an old copied-CD from about 20 years ago and it actually came up with the names of the tracks on the display - most unexpected!
I tried to build a small pendular suspension with LEGO technic.
It is not steered.

"Mercury was an Italian manufacturing company of diecast scale models. Based in Turin, Mercury was active from 1932 until 1980. Along with Dinky Toys in England, Mercury was a pioneer in 1/43 scale diecast toys made in Europe. Today, Mercury models are rather rare and not easy to find".
Rather like Dinky some of their castings have in recent years been reissued/recast by separate companies with production predictably farmed out to China. A company called Hachette are behind these reissues and they are absolutely the epitome of charm despite looking very basic by modern standards. This Fiat 600 Multipla is of course technically 1/43 scale which is usually bigger than what I would normally collect but its still a small "3 inch" sized model which is why i've nominally described it as "1/64". A true 1/64 Multipla would indeed be rather too small in hand.
The real vehicle itself was a true pioneer of what we know describe as MPV's though goodness knows how cramped it would have been, certainly by modern standards. All metal in construction with perfectly replicated wheels I happily paid over 10 Euros for this one in Retro Toys in Sitges.
Mint and boxed.

Some people have asked me how the drive of the Black Panther works. Here are some photos of the known system, using two differencials to combine drive and steering at the same time, so the tank turns smoothly.
I was given three rolls of 35mm Kodak Technical Pan (expired 2002). I hunted around for a development scheme and finally settled on this. Mostly because I had Rodinal. I'm only posting in case some of you still have some in the fridge.
16 EI
Rodinal 1+150 for thirteen minutes
Agitate with 30 seconds initial inversions, then 3 inversions at 10 minutes,7 minutes,4 minutes, and 1minute counting down. (every 3 minutes)
Regular stop, fix and hypo.
I used 5ml of Rodinal in 750ml of H2O. That gives less than the recommended 10ml of Rodinal but the negatives really look great (full tone scale).
I had to figure out a curve profile as I felt (and still do) that the midtones were not right. Technical Pan is also a dust magnet; lots of healing tool. Even with Rodinal there is virtually no grain.
