Expedition-Van

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk about their work, which last year won the 1st place in the "4x4 trophy challenge", held in the Russian community of "Lego Technic Russia".

The objective of the competition was to build a model of the finished chassis 4x4. Author chassis - Egor, aka Rm8.

I have long thought that the same construct. I wanted to create something non-standard and maximum functionality. As an electrician in Lego occupies a lot of space, it needed a big body model, so I came to the idea of construction of all-wheel drive van trophy. I named my project - "Expedition-Van".

The model has the V6 engine. Four-wheel drive and axle suspension.

Front bumper and roof mounted lights. In the main headlights I put LED lights

Rear roof also installed lights

Buggy Half Life 2: Episode 2

The idea to create a model of my beloved game «Half Life 2: Episode Two» I visited last year. Even then, it began to develop in the LDD. Originally conceived to create a model exclusively mechanical. In the game, this car has a key role, in principle, most of the episode have to move on it. The basis for the developers took the Dodge Charger 1969, yellow, with missing elements of a body in front of that, in fact, makes it a buggy. 

What was supposed to include a model at the initial stage:

Engine V8, naturally aspirated,

drive back

Independent front suspension, rear - Bridge.

Wheels - raznoshirokie.

Starting work on the design, stumbled in Google already built a prototype of such a buggy, basically everything was small ... but there were also really cool. I wanted something serious, which has not yet been created

Then, gradually, I began to build my project in LDD:

... and make it a reality:

model in many respects resembles the individual nodes 41999

I paid great attention to detail of the cabin, or rather what was left of it :)

In the model I installed 4x-speed gearbox

front independent suspension

V8 with charger

badass

fans of Half Life 2, do you hear that sound? ;)
