Temporary MOCs
 
 
This gallery features pictures of LEGO® models I created for various occasions or just for fun.
They all have one thing in common: They are no more! I took them apart because I needed the parts, space or whatever ...

Ever built a car to go along with your bathing lotion? Well ... I did! And I had a lot of fun building and photographing this model.

Alternate Models For The 2556 "Ferrari" Set
 
 
 

The following models were all entries for a building contest actually. The objective was to build an alternative model for the F1-Ferrari using only the bricks contained in one 2556 set.

 
 
 
Biplane

From the models I sent in, this was the one I liked the most, and obviously a lot of other people did as well, because it made 1st place. This was also the model which lasted longest in assembled state. I even made some minor changes to the model after I sent it in, using other than only 2556 bricks (e.g. replacing the "Shell" brick).

This was actually a tough one, getting the steering to work using only the bricks of the 2556 set.

In terms of steering, this was a tough one, too. The problems was that the fenders were moving in line with the front wheels, so they had to be attached being able to do so, but using only 2556's bricks.

Not really much to say about this one. It was kind of a "quickie".

I thought it would be extra creative not to build a vehicle out of a box containing 4 wheels. After all such an entry won in the end, right? But there was a much better "jet" entry (which made 2nd place).

Ingenious Pneumatic Engine
 
 
 

I built this engine, developed by Alex Zorko, out of curiosity. At my initial visit to his site, I saw his impressive "Pneumatic V8 Mad Max Interceptor" and didn't quite realize what I was really looking at. At first I thought "Cool, another very detailed technic car (just like Jonathan Stevenson's Technic Corvette for example)", but I never would have thought that this car was actually able to move by it's own. But then it slowly came to me that I was looking at an ingenious piece of engineering. The idea to operate the pneumatic switches using a camshaft - stunning!

My friend and I had our doubts that the engine would actually work, and after quite some discussion about it, I decided to build the 4 cylinder engine using the (great and understandable) instructions Alex is providing on his website. We couldn't believe our eyes when the finished engine actually started spinning! This moment was definitely worth the time I spent building it. I think every LEGO technic enthusiast should witness this once, or he has really missed something. (And I'm not really that much into technic, I'm more the "Model Team" guy.) But I was deeply impressed by the ingenious construction. I think even LEGO themselves never would have thought that it was possible to build a working piston engine using their pneumatic elements.
