it s very interesting, it must have a great rolling feeling to it, I like the original technique you used on these tires, I don t mind the studs much with that kind of shape, very nice indeed!

Hi Joe! I bought the 9398 Crawler last week! It took not too much time to build it! (after the Unimog :))) It's a good fun to play with, but I think the weight of it is too big for these motors. The batteries lose their strength quickly. It has diffs, so sometimes it can't go further. But the funniest thing is that it can go only on the front, or only on the rear wheels because the battery box is in high position! :D I don't want to persuade you, I've just tell my experiences! :)

Awesome! But I think you should just cover the top and sides with tiles so it's smooth.

Remarkable, very nice indeed !>.....well done

Nice model, and a fun way to steer it !

Awesome! Might be a bit simple compared to your other stuff but still great work on the shape and exterior details :-) And i agree, that camouflaged steering is a cool idea!

haha thanks guys. Yes it is a 'Head of God' system :D. I am planning to use this technique again but with a refined design.

Lovely little vintage-styled model. I really like the flow of the exhaust and the wheel design. Do I spy HOG (Head of guy >.<) steering via the man's head? If so, that's nicely incorporated :)

Too studly for me, but the steering head HOG is brilliant!

Love it. Simple, old-skool and very playable. Love the wheel design too. 5 stars

Yeah, I've been quite busy in the office recently and my "summer hobby" needed some time, too :-)) I think now I'll find some more time for MOCpages, again...

Ok, you have a little idea of how to play with your little Lego bricks... NOT! Great job again MS! You go MortalSwordsman!

Great car! I love how the head of the guy looks! Very ingenious! The car is superb! Very sleek and awesome looking! The tubes just add to the effect! Spectacular creation and keep up the STUPENDOUS work!

Hi Nils, glad to see you back on the Pages :D. Thanks everyone else for the kind comments.

Wow, that's so cool, I love those classic F1 racers! Great shaping + great details + great steering function = Great job! :-))

WOW! This is perfect!

looks really good, the shape is great! 5/5

Definitely has the looks and feels of a wooden toy, so cudos to you! Was also glad to read that you are finally convinced to buy set 5867. It's about time! I actually gave the set a break to finally finish this Technic creation I was working on. You might want to check it out.

Thanks Calvin. It looks like people either love it or hate it ;).

Love the front, Mortal!

Thanks Ice, I might use this technique again.

Hi! I think it will cost more than 150 considering the 8043 Excavator...:( I like power functions. I'm now making a big technic moc with motor!

Nice! That head turning function is an awesome idea!

Thanks guys, glad you like the classic look. It is always good fun using vintage lego - it always brings back good memories. @ Chris - I remember those sets. Most of my remaining vintage stuff (late 70s early 80s) is technic. Big fan of technic as a kid, but I also had a few classic space sets. I have lost most of it, but just had enough to make my classic space punk. I recently bought a load of classic space minifigs, but have not got around to using them. Hopefully soon.

Old spirit is here.., nice work..!

Still here, where did you come up with the idea to turn the tires inside out like that, it adds a great effect! Z

Well, I think the effect was worked great. It really chaps my hide that I let a bunch of bricks from my childhood go, I used to have scores of those kind of tires! They came on a lot of the original Technic stuff, and a favorite classic space missile launcher! It's cool to see you build some different stuff other than super heroes too. Looking forward to your next MOC, Z

Looks very nice and classic! I like overall shape and wheel. very well done!!

Thanks PL. Yeah they would cut your legs off if you get too close.

Glad you are still here Z. The place wouldn't be the same without you. Just trying to do something different with the tyres - I wanted to create a multi spoke design. I like them most in the photo from the side. Stay out of trouble ;) hahaha

well shaped, love the way you handled the intake in front, and that wheels look dangerous!

Not so simple... It looks sturdy and very playable. very accurate too. I like it!!

Magnificent ! Gentlemen ,start your engines !

Wow! You captured the feeling of an old race very well! I like the head as a steering wheel, it makes the car really playable! Great work! A question: do you want to buy the new 9398 Crawler? I think that is a very good set. - Gabor :)

This is great little car. I really like the front end details.

It's the head that gets into my head.I like the lip too, the car's, I meant.

Haha thanks Tomaso - the side view and top view are my favourites. Those upside down studs make perfect eyes and the smiley face was a bonus :). It is not going to last long - I want to build a Lotus 49b next or maybe a Jag for Nick's team.

I love this! The side profile is my favourite angle. Some really clever imaginative details here, like the wheels and front air intake. But my favourite feature is the 'Head of God' steering lol He looks like he's smiling at me in that last picture :) For a 3/4 hour build this is really very good and I enjoyed it very much! I just hope it survives demolition so I can come and play with it soon ;-)

Thanks Larry. Hope you enjoy your break, and I can't wait to see your next project.

I love the idea of using those pieces for the grill! I'm finally starting summer break tomorrow so I'll probably begin building again :)

Thanks Z, just trying to keep things fresh. I am due to start my next super hero moc soon.

Thanks George. Yeah he is always looking in the right direction ;). I cant stop zoomimg it around the table.

M, what a twist to see something like this, it is very designer, and has a look all of its own! Very cool!

M. This is great! The driver always looks where he is going. ;) That is a very cool idea to have the head turn the wheels. It looks very fun to play with.

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Nice use of those flex tubes!

Sectacular! Very accurate!

ravishingly beautiful!

Nice car! Great idea with the head-steering and I like the wheels.

nice build

Nice!

The head steering is really clever! The whole shaping is well done too.

I can see it was only a quickie, as It lacks the detail of your other cars, but I just love that shape and the yellow tubing on the nose! Th e man is quite nice too.

Thanks boys and girls. @ Fritz - Haha thanks for the compliment. This is only a quick build that took 3 or 4 hours, but my more detailed cars can take weeks to build

Delightful... I can see why your kids enjoy playing with it! :)

OMG...MortalSwordsman, you MIST make more cars! This is up there with DeTomaso and Malte Dorowski! ;)

Nicely done! The front is excellent, and I like the use of tubing. Great work!

The wheels are pretty cool and the engine rocks!

Thanks guys. Glad you like it. The wheels are made by removing the original hubs and trapping the tyre between the pulley wheels (at the back) and the curved cogs/gears (the teeth fit perfectly into the holes in the tyre). It works very well and is strong enough for my kids to play with it.

very nice build, I like how the wheels have turned out, the driver also, excellent.

Most magnificent Maserati. Love it. Like an old boyscout wooden racer but oh so much better. Awesome job on the steering/driver. Great build. ~cheers

Cool, man!

Hi Joost :D :D. Great to hear from you. Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for you comment buddy @ Marcus and Nick - glad you like the 'Head of God' :)

Excellent work, I love the style and it has indeed such a retro feeling. Much greetings!!

Wow, great to see a new car from you! I especially love the silhouette and the wheel design - and the fantastic "Head of God" (HOG) steering system, of course ;-)

Sick car!

Gotta love this! The steering is a fantastic bonus, the driver's head is perfect! It's good to see a car from you again! But I'm not fond of the yellow hose. I think yellow wheel arches (like my birdcage) might look better. Just a thought. I'm discouraged at the moment, so inspiration isn't on my side; I won't be posting frequently (especially cars won't be finished anytime soon). Have fun MOCing! ;-) Still a 5/5 build. -LB Jr.

The steering head is a masterstroke. This is delightfully playable - have fun! P.S. Dig the wheel design :-)

Cool! This shows that creations don't need to be complicated to be good. I like the use of the head as steering wheel. 5/5

Nice shaping

Thanks guys. Fun to build and play with. I am particularly proud of the steering head :D

a work of art!

Cool head steering. Nice part usage. Who could resist a red Maserati?

Fantastic, you've captured the feel of 50's F1 in lego amazingly, well done

great parts usage the only thing i would have done was tile the top, other than that great as always!

This is EPIC!The best i've seen here on MOC pages.I like the round front and other great details.Keep bricking!:D
