Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 19, 2010 I've been pretty sad today and had an urge to buy some lego or meccano :lol: i blame James May (i bought loads of airfix models recently too and they went straight into cupboard, couldn't be arsed with all the paint glue) anyway found this, and thought i could try and make a lego corrado :wave: :nuts: do you reckon thats possible? i design stuff in 3D for work so could easily draw lego shapes and work it out first. also saw the lego crane :!:! about £500-£700 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 19, 2010 the first designer i downloaded is rubbish, seems there are two versions availiable 8) i reckon this will be harder than i 1st thought Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 19, 2010 the first designer i downloaded is rubbish, seems there are two versions availiable 8) i reckon this will be harder than i 1st thought I downloaded the later version.

Kempy 0 Posted January 19, 2010 is there any fluids in that v8? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yacobwood 0 Posted January 20, 2010 it says some parts may need changing after 50 hours of running or you can lube up some of the parts. i wanna know how much it costs to make :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted January 20, 2010 I think to make a corrado you'd need to make it quite large so that the bricks looked less square 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yacobwood 0 Posted January 20, 2010 On the Lego website you can download the 3d program to design Lego project. Tempted to give a rado a try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 20, 2010 i've had a bit of a play around and the main factor to consider as said before is the size, and then the wheels that are availiable can limit that. it may be easier to buy a lego technics car and modify it to look like a corrado somehow :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted January 20, 2010 so you guys still got loads of lego hanging around 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
