(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o217/craZyRacrXtreme/thumb.jpg) (http://picasaweb.google.com/crazyracerxtreme/Shiv) This started out as a motorcycle, and... changed. It can handle any terrain with the independent suspension on the front tires and the treads in the back. In typical cruising, the miniguns are pointed backwards, though they can rotate 360 degrees and aim high or low, for easy destruction in any direction. If the driver is feeling particularly nasty, he can choose to have his artificially intelligent companion in the rear of the vehicle (who is also in charge of aiming the miniguns) open the back end and use the twin blade launchers on any competitors drawing too close for comfort. This racer is not exactly as massive as the Battering Ram, but I think I put a bit more detail in it, and it is surely more imaginative as far as overall design and shape is concerned. It was also more challenging to build both because everything moves and since there are a lot of strange angles (most notably the front tire mounts), so a durable framework was elusive for a while.

As I said when I first saw it.. OHMYAWESOMENESS, that is EPIC! Title: Re: Shiv Post by: Teddy3333 on March 31, 2010, 12:02:08 am Excellent!

Title: Re: Shiv Post by: B~T on March 31, 2010, 10:04:05 am Really nice job!
Title: Re: Shiv Post by: MÆLXTRØM on March 31, 2010, 10:05:59 am I just want to point out that that pic up top is a link to the album of pics. Someone on another forum didn't make that connection... so I want to be absolutely clear lol.
Thanks everyone! Title: Re: Shiv Post by: Mahri828 on March 31, 2010, 10:45:06 am That's awesome! I like how both the tires in front turn inward, (the treads are cool too) and I noticed you didn't use any launchers this time. Your cockpit's really cool too! Great job, and I hope I can convince my parents to let me buy some more legos soon! =P
Title: Re: Shiv Post by: Kritzelei on April 03, 2010, 10:36:18 am Epic... so epic... that needs to be mass produced as a real bike thing! Minus the weapons, of course. ;) But... WOW!
Title: Re: Shiv Post by: Shoots Da Kine on April 03, 2010, 12:04:44 pm Nice!! Good job on it, CRX!! =)
Title: Re: Shiv Post by: Kritzelei on April 05, 2010, 01:06:42 pm This really annoys me... some person has already copied your model and uploaded it to the LU site. :P Here:"Battle Tank" (aka Shiv) (http://us.universe.lego.com/en-gb/creationlab/DisplayCreation.aspx?id=45508b91-a91e-451c-9127-974c7db071af&challengeId=&SearchText=&SearchIn=&Sort=&MemberId=aaa2ec96-44bb-471f-b037-7e48428018d2&Tag=&BackToPage=0)
The same member also copied your Juggernaut creation. :P K Title: Re: Shiv Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on April 06, 2010, 12:41:54 am I made an appropriate comment on the "battle tank" in LU.. we'll see if they publish it... :P

So I have skillz0rz. =P I actually sent an email to my personal contact in staff and had both copied MOC's removed. Title: Re: Shiv Post by: Legodac on April 24, 2010, 07:18:57 pm As usual, you've lived up to your name, in the extreme.
And also you are my inspiration for my next creation, nice build, to the least. I'm glad I'm running through the MOC here now, for if I wasn't, I would never have found this outstanding model Well done my young friend... 8) You never fail to impress me, my only wish is that you and MX would enter a few building contests here, I'd love to test my metal against the best. |
