Original thread follows below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After buying a little spaceship and building it (because I'm an adult and I'm allowed to!) I had an idea to try and build an SRV out of Lego Technic.
The idea is to make it fairly big, with the ultimate aim to get power functions motors into it and be able to drive it around, but first I must make the basic model.
I found the Lego Digital Designer, and although officialy discontinued by Lego, they still keep it available to download from their website - it simply operates in offline mode. I plan on building the entire thing digitally, then ordering the parts and building it!
I've spent a few days off and on, and so far I have assembled the front wheel assembly. ATM these wheels will simply be adjusted by hand for effect.
I have redesigned the front assembly a few times, and probably will do again before it's finished.
Next step I think will be to adjust how the front arms come out so they come straight out at a sideways angle rather than down THEN at an angle. You can also see above the beginnings of where the cockpit will be attached to the body of the SRV
