After 3 weeks, welcome back to bag 6/17. My co-pilot and I are working on the front part of the undercarriage.
More non-standard pieces in this part of the build. Particularly interesting is the vent-like block that goes in the nose section. Looking forward to seeing the logic behind it.
Making the connection between the front and back sections. Combination of pegs and long overlays is used here.
The result is impressively strong under strain and torsion. The black non-standard L-blocks make a lot more sense now in context. Engineering in the small!
The final result looks good! Had to do my first bit of debugging around the nose section, but ready to go for the next stage!
The underside looks implausibly flat for a Lego build that’s so strong.
How strong? This strong.
Arm for length comparison. Seriously impressive.
