Title: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 12, 2009, 12:09:38 am Well this took me about a month and a half (some of which was around work) so I figure it took about 125-150 hours. You'll know why it took so long when you see more pictures.... =O
I've only done some of the picture-taking right now so I'll show y'all a preview pic. I'll make it link to my brickshelf when I get the rest of the pictures taken. The colors are dark red and dark blue on black. And yes, the wheels are big, and epic (paid $14 for 'em lol).

Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Plotkin on June 12, 2009, 01:12:42 am Very very nice
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on June 12, 2009, 02:28:16 am WOW!! Awesome.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: The Host on June 12, 2009, 07:22:41 am I always love your designs, mostly because when you see the first pic you've only seen a little bit of the creation itself(compared to normal Lego sets where you-see-it-and-that's-that).
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Jade on June 12, 2009, 09:39:20 am Love it!
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Kritzelei on June 12, 2009, 10:28:05 am *Jaw hits the ground in amazement* WOW! It looks like some huge police car with a big, err, battering ram on the front!
TBD/SV Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: lynndr on June 12, 2009, 08:36:00 pm *boggle* Very impressive CRX - both in terms of the overall lines and the attention to detail.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Jade on June 12, 2009, 08:39:54 pm Whats really cool is that my dad's truck has a huge front end like that :P
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: jamesster on June 13, 2009, 09:12:00 am WOW!!!! :O
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: B~T on June 13, 2009, 09:39:12 am Very nicely done! :) I like the detail you inscribed onto the car/truck/whatever.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on June 16, 2009, 11:31:46 pm Well I finally uploaded them and organized them and all that.
First Impressions (http://s923.photobucket.com/albums/ad71/CRXLego/Battering%20Ram/First%20Impressions/) Suspension and Cockpit (http://s923.photobucket.com/albums/ad71/CRXLego/Battering%20Ram/Suspension%20and%20Cockpit/) Hidden Firepower (http://s923.photobucket.com/albums/ad71/CRXLego/Battering%20Ram/Hidden%20Firepower/) And this video (http://s923.photobucket.com/albums/ad71/CRXLego/Battering Ram/Hidden Firepower/?action=view¤t=BatteringRam2.flv) is in the last link but it's very important that y'all view it because it contains much awesomeness. Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Plotkin on June 16, 2009, 11:37:35 pm That car is amazing. Woow
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: timposter on June 17, 2009, 12:10:21 am *basks in the awesome*
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on June 17, 2009, 12:23:51 am Watch the video full screen... OMAwesomeness!
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: lionytai on June 17, 2009, 12:55:09 am It only took a month and a half? IT would take a century if I was the one who built it!
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: lynndr on June 19, 2009, 05:49:22 am Oooo... glad you put up the video. Still pictures just don't do your creation justice. The elegance of the firing mechanisms is truly spectacular.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Obi on June 19, 2009, 07:53:24 am *Stares* That... is... simply...AMAZING!!!!!
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Empire981 on June 19, 2009, 08:06:51 am that looks indestructable! i wish i had more racers parts.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: LordVaderRulez on June 19, 2009, 01:04:39 pm I'm soeachless. That is amazing.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Saturn2.0 on June 19, 2009, 04:06:40 pm :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o *head explodes*
-That car looks like the bat-mobile ;D. Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Admiral-Ike on July 26, 2009, 10:54:14 am Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! That creation looks so cool! ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on October 27, 2009, 03:41:39 pm Sorry I've taken so long to produce these, but here (http://s923.photobucket.com/albums/ad71/CRXLego/Battering%20Ram/Building%20Process/) are some pictures of the building process.
And thanks for all the above responses. Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 27, 2009, 08:30:31 pm WOW...that is impressive CRX. You spent a month and a half working on that? O_o Now I get why it's so awesome.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: B~T on October 27, 2009, 10:14:31 pm WOAH. Wish I can build as good...
Anyways, nice work! :) Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on October 27, 2009, 11:19:12 pm Appreciate it guys.
@R8 - two Bricklink orders, one halfway through. That's one of the reasons it took so long, I had to envision what I would do with the parts I didn't have yet. The other reason for the time it took was that I was trying to make it like a set - durable, solid, no shortcuts, and functional/playable. There were several things - front and back missile triggers, angled front bumpers, opening mechanisms for the side doors and scissor-mounted missiles, suspension, back light mounts, and the spike dropper - that took multiple attempts until they were perfect. Quite satisfying result. Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on October 27, 2009, 11:32:29 pm It should be a set. It is very well done.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 28, 2009, 09:23:58 am Yeah. Lego definately FAILS compared to your Lego Cars. :P That set deserves more spotlight than being on your Photobucket account/LDD or Gallery module.
So, what car ya makin' next? Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on October 28, 2009, 12:26:24 pm It's a motorcycle called the Chainsaw, I'm maybe a third of the way through and will hopefully finish it over Christmas break. I posted a preview pic on InZone, if you're not a member there you should be. :P
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Legodac on April 30, 2010, 12:51:23 pm I love the MoC section in MLNO, I never get tired of looking at the models.
The creations by CRX are few and far between, but always well worth the wait. I do believe I left a comment on your LU module some time ago and was surprised to see I hadn't left one here. May I call you Master? Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on April 30, 2010, 07:56:51 pm Haha if you want to I guess. =P
BTW as some of you know, I updated the Ram. Just check out the LU submission, it's not that different but it's vastly better as far as structure is concerned. Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Legodac on May 01, 2010, 03:29:16 pm Master, I have a question, did you tear down the old one to upgrade or did you start fresh and keep the original?
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: MÆLXTRØM on May 02, 2010, 10:08:05 am I tore it apart leaving some parts intact, and then rebuilt it from ground up.
Title: Re: Battering Ram Post by: Legodac on May 02, 2010, 02:37:49 pm That breaks my heart, they are both fantastic creations, to destroy a masterpiece in creating another, oh well, at least you have a photo record.
