Day 92 1/2

Back in July, I posted the Fast and Furious Dom’s Charger set… day 39 I think.

last week, I pulled it down and built another classic vehicle from tv/films (instructions sourced online)

not keen on the engine sticking up, but there’s not enough parts left over to cover the hole.

Both have steering, and a winch. Main model has tipping bed, and is motorised for just the tipper, and lifting the crane. Winch and rotation of crane is still manual.

Day 98
Set 42050 Drag racer

Strange design, but plenty of functions and big, big wheels!

Steering, lifting cabin. Moving pistons.
Rear frame holds battery box when using electric motor. Extra weight makes it wheelie when going forward.
Also has a wheelie frame underneath that can be moved down.
