[WChestnutt]

That looks totaly real!! :thumbsup:

i never thought of modeling a lego model from the actual lego plans!

did you find them on the internet? if so could you post a link???

Keep us updated!

Cheers,

Will

ps. what program??

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Thanks unknown limit for the comment :bounce:, unfortunally I did not found the plans on the internet, I found them in a box, which I was packing out. I know that they are difficult to find on the internet.

I use MAX 5

[WChestnutt]

pity,

whats the model going to be?

[Mr. Nice Guy]

It is one of the Model Team serie (the yellow car). When I can reach to my scanner (too much sun now. Sitting outside now with my laptop drinking beer:cool: :beer:) I will scan it and show it.

[WChestnutt]

:thumbsup:
:beer:

[zachgrachan]

ahhh... 3d and beer..... a heavenly combination in my opinion.

looks great so far, you should send this to lego when complete. Maybe they're looking for someone to do the instruction books...

[Commander Falk]

It is one of the Model Team serie (the yellow car).

Yeah ! I have it too ! The white truck was my favourite !

Just one crit' though, I think the "tits" (or whatever it's called in english) are a bit too big.

For example, the grey part of the steering has a hole in it, and if I remember well, the "tits" should fit in this hole. Actually I don't think it can. But that should not be important...:rolleyes:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

To Unknown Limit: I found I site with scan of all the models with the instuctions to build them "Lego Instructions" (http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/) :thumbsup:

To zachgrachan: yes that is the greatest combination to model. And maybe I will send it to Lego, but when you take a look at there Cd-rom, they already have a good company to do there stuff. But you can always try it.

To Commander Falk: I really don't know either how to call that in english. But I think it comes with the lights that the look big. But the fit exactly. And yes the white truck was also my favorite, but then it was to expencive in 1985

here is a scan of the model I making. I haven't scan this one, so sorry for the bad quality. (Can't turn on my scanner:annoyed: )

[Mr. Nice Guy]

The sun is away, so I can work futher and here is the finished step 3

Final third step
http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step03.jpg

[Mr. Nice Guy]

And there is step 4

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step04.jpg

I going to make one more step today before I'm going to bed (to much alcohol)

[XanBob]

Hey man,:D
Looking awesome so far, I remember making that model myself when I was a kid... or at least I tried to, my dog ate 2 of the wheels!!

-XaNbOb:surprised

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Wow, that is really bad, that you couldn't finish that. Did you kick you're dog, so that (s)he know that (s)he never will eat Lego again.;)

And here is fifth step
http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step05.jpg

Now I'm going to bed. The bottle of wine is empty now and I must go to my work tomorrow. So I think I go futher next weekend or maybe sooner.

[RekAge]

I think i still have all the parts to make that. I still have all my lego somewhere. I think i might grab one of my starwars sets and do something similar to this.

[WChestnutt]

looking good!!:thumbsup:

you should tone down the yellow though, it doesn't blent in right.

btw, thanks for the link!! :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Will

[chuchon17]

cool, it looks like the real lego

[Eman597]

looks like fun! you better put the "lego" logo on the blocks though, cause that is a classical mistake

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Thanks for all the comments.

And yes I will put the lego logo on it, but I will put them on the stone which you will see in the final.

And unknown limit I see now what you mean with the yellow color. (to much alcohol, yesterday I think:hmm: )

[Mr. Nice Guy]

First progress in step 6

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step06.jpg

[WChestnutt]

that yellows far better:thumbsup:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

final version of step six

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step06.jpg

[Mr. Nice Guy]

And here is step seven.

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step07.jpg

Now I am going to bed. Must go to my work again tomorrow.:eek:

Maybe I will work tomorrow on it again, but there is also a lot to do in my home:argh:.

So bye for now and you will see more soon.

[WChestnutt]

:thumbsup:

[Sceme]

hey, have u modeled different kind of parts seperetally and then just putting them there...fantastic work...and if u make somekind of "library" from those parts, it would be easy and fast to make other lego things:thumbsup:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

yes I have modeled every part seperetally. And yes I think I'm going to make a library for meself, to make things faster later:thumbsup::bounce:

[Caman0]

great idea, inspiration to model my own LEGO stuff

and indeed the library thing is cool, u should make all the parts needed first, render it then assemble and render by step

[Stimpy]

http://www.leocad.org btw...

[Mr. Nice Guy]

:) Stimpy that looks like a good program, but now I have the fun to model everything myself.
If I want to do it like that program, I find my own Lego to play with:)

And everybody I'm happy that I have inspirate evrybody to look at his Lego again.:applause: :) :thumbsup:

[Stimpy]

yah i thought as much, and i was thinking about whether to actually post the link or not. but considering so many other people expressed interested in reliving their lego history i thought it might be of use to some of them...

playmobil sucked ass btw.. ;D

[Caman0]

i been doing some research as well :D

should anyone get inspired as well:

HERE FOR THE LEGO INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVERY MODEL UP TO 1999!!! (http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/)

that would be all, now update mr. nice guy!!! :p

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I post that link at the first page (the one with the bad scan), but maybe it wasn't good visuable. :p :thumbsup:

And I want to update some stuff, but the problem is that I am now on my work, and the lego stuff, I making that at home.
So please be patience :p

[Caman0]

woops
didnt see it, see i have low res here, it wasnt on the screen

:buttrock:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Caman0, you got a good excuse:p

And here is aprogres of step 8
http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step08.jpg

[MikaelPersson]

The funniest thing in a long time, I really like the fact that you are taking your time and posting step by step.
As mentioned earlier, if you had added a LEGO logo to each little brick the thing would look so much more real.

have one on me :) :beer:

cheers.

[hannibar]

heh! I just did the same thing you are doing now. :)
It's in the finished work now. Also used my own lib... :buttrock:

[Spiralopia]

Lego technics . Lovely!. Man, i love the way u show us the steps of your progress. Hope to have more, cant wait to get my lego parts and fix up the real model ;):applause:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

here is the finished version of step 8

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step08.jpg

[Caman0]

http://www.finalfootball.com/~cxd/caman/lego/onelow.jpg

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I'm very happy that I have inspired many people. :bounce: :thumbsup:

Step nine
http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step09.jpg

[Mr. Nice Guy]

And here is step 10

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step10.jpg

Give some comments if you think that there is something wrong. I making this model with only the discription how to make it. And I don't have any stones for reference. So your al welcome to say if there is something wrong.:thumbsup:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

So and here is step 11

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step11.jpg

And there will be six steps left until it finished. And you can see now that it is going to look like the yellow car.

Comments are always welcome as normal.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

And the last step for today and that is step 12.

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step12.jpg

[Orbitronio]

i wonder how u make those cuts and shapes, can we see a wire frame?

[Caman0]

[Sandiman]

This is so cewl :D

I am not a modeller myself, but I look around this forum quite a lot and I must say, this Lego topic rockzz :buttrock:

I have a lot of original Lego manuals myself, I think I have some time to scan them to PDF this weekend, all I need then is some plce to store them so all you modellers can download them ...

btw, if it is illegal to do so, please tell me because I really don't know if it is

[ewerybody]

@Mr Nice Guy: Nice work so far. Keep it going man! Maybe you can connect the models later to some kind of Lego-VR-City or whatever :P

@Stimpy: Yea Leocad was my firt Idea too. I already downloaded it some time ago but its kinda tricky to handle. Thats the most imortant contra to it. But all the pieces and the look is quite great already... did you make more experiences about it? pix or something..?

@Sandiman: Hey do that!! Great Idea. Will you post the Link sonewhere here? plz!

@all ya out there: Some phunny shit: :scream:

http://drew.corrupt.net/bp/

[Mr. Nice Guy]

For everybody who missed the link. Here is the link to the page with allot of lego manuals.

LEGO LIBRARY MANUALS (http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/)

[adavies]

i hope you're going to build the man!

and i want to see a traditonal block man, none of this 'lego techno' rubbish please.

[Sceme]

adavies: hehe..floood :scream:


keep doing that, looks good...:thumbsup:

[adavies]

yeah, stupid web page, click 'post' and it puts 5 of the things up :/

[JasonA]

;)

Lego's are always fun. look forward to seeing your finished version. Don't forget to model the little lego man too tho..

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Hi guys,

I haven't done anything lately. The weather is to good to model anything inside the house. So I am enjoying the sun:cool:.

And adavies I really don't know what you mean with "i want to see a traditonal block man, none of this 'lego techno' ", This is a combination of traditonal blocks and technic blocks. Or do you mean that you want to see the lego man:shrug: And what do you mean with stupid webpage?

To ewerybody, that was a really funny link. It gives lego a whole new dimension.

[Matthew Moran]

cool man. makes me want to build it:thumbsup:

[Mr. Nice Guy]

It is a while since I post something. My Lego car isn't finished yet. But here are 3 more steps that I have.

step 13:

http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step14.jpg

step 15:
http://www.weber-images.nl/wip/lego/step15.jpg

I really need to finish this car sometime. :)

Also take a visit on my new updated website (http://www.weber-images.nl)

I like to have some comments

Thnx

[cucaracha]

nice work but
uhm, you know thah there's this lego-modeller which can do that in minutes, right? :D

http://www.leocad.org/

cu

[Mr. Nice Guy]

cucaracha, I know that there is a cad-program to make this model in minutes. But what is the fun of that. Why does everybody make characters, when there is Poser. The reason is that you can improve you way of working and it is much more funner to make it by yourself. ;)'
