Lego F1....Melbourne Trips concludes Pt.1

Soooooooooooooooo long ago when my sis and dad and family got over here for holiday and rite now, only i managed to find some peaceful quite time to complete this trip....and how cool is that i managed to get myself a Lego F1 set from Victoria Market?????















The parts in packets, this is a imitation of the Lego Technic 8386 Ferrari F1 Racer 1:10, its a big set that is 47cm or 18.5 inch long and feature a thorough 60 page of instructions. This model features a V10 engine block with movable piston-con-rod-crankshaft simplifying a combustion engine, coupled with a differential, although lacks of cylinder head (cam, valves etc..) and also rack and pinion steering system, which acts on the same principle as a normal rack and pinion steering system. But the car does not feature independent push-rod suspension, nor a fully functional gearbox...which is a shame...















Firstly, assembling the front crash structure






























































Suspension arms with uprights or spindle















Suspension attached with the front crash structure















Doing the front wing(it look abit bend on the other side, it is, as this is just a imitation, nothing is to a perfect scale, and therefore i need to shave, carve, cut a few bits and pieces to fit them in or on.....wonder how would a genuine Lego Technic's quality will be....^^






























Wing on the front crash structure...















Doing the upper part of the crash structure















Steering Rack















Pinion on it, see how the Pinion moves the Rack left through right, while at the end of the Rack is the steering linkage that attaches to the spindle, this is how exactly our normal everyday car steering functions.






























Assembling center structure















Amazes me how unsignificant things like this can look essential to the car itself moments later~















Pinion connecting to the driver's cabin















Main and rear structure seen~ a comparison of the car itself in 3/4 of its length, compare to a fruit knife.















Z610 camera shines with sun light ^^















Look like a Jet fighter...















But is actually the side panel for the car















Overall shape is coming out..















Moving on to the engine block, crankshaft and con-rod















with piston on ~ so cute ^^















The block, made transparent so u can see the operation
