  motoTek Shiva
 
Hi Everyone, I have uploaded building instructions for my MOC motorcycle, the motoTEK Shiva. (URL) Mark's Lego Creations (URL) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space) !

(...) Shades of Akira... cool! (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

But of course. ;^) ~M (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
One more thing. I had my wife sit down and try to build the motoTek Shiva this evening. She was mostly successful, with only a bit of help from myself. Aw, give her a break, she's just a NLS. Fortunately she's sympathetic to my addiction. ;^) I (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
With your permission, I would like to *try* to make the model in MLCAD tomorrow and send you the .JPGs for each step. BTW I am pretty sure even a *casual* LEGO builder could build the model with your instructions. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
Man I love this bike and I love Akira. After I built it from your instructions I checked out some pictures of real life proto type versions on the web. It looks like you did a good job of getting some of the details and angels down in your version. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
Sounds good! I look forward to seeing pictures of your variation! ~Mark (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
That sounds pretty cool, Mladen. Once you're finished, send me a link to wherever you post the instructions and I'll put it on the page with the Shiva. ~Mark (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) *snip* (...) She is indeed :) It's always nice to have a spouse sympathetic to your addictions. My wife let me run out to K-Mart at 8:30 on a Monday Night to buy a couple of bulk tubs to finish my Pooh sculpture, even though we're sort of (...)

  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
Heh. Cool. Maybe I'll build a black variant for the 42nd to use in their ops. ;^) ~M (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
Wow, I really like that! It looks really inviting to go for a ride with it :-) It looks as if it's "foldable" into some kind of space ship, is it? --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
Nope. It's just designed to resemble the motorcycle from Akira. It would be much bulkier if it actually folded up. But that's a good idea. ^_^ ~Mark (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
(...) Mark, this is a VERY FINE design -- although I think the mini may be too small for the bike. Then again, it's been forever since I have seen something like Akira to have a sense of the scale. Would a technic figure have been too large? And (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
(...) Thanks! I realize the minifig looks like a li'l kid in the seat. I think a Technic fig may have been better, but I wanted to put a minifig on it. Here's a quick pic. I just did a quick search to find it, so please forgive the page it's on. (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) small (...) like (...) Mark, have you ever seen the Recon Bike from the "Command and Conquer" computer games? It's a military-grade cycle, and your model is about the same size. That means that the mini-fig may not be too small. BTW your bike (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: motoTek Shiva
 
No, I haven't... but it sounds cool. ^_^ Thanks! ~Mark (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) It uses elevated rocket pods on the back of the cycle for hit and run attacks. The rockets can also be used to damage aircraft :-) I'll try and find some pics and post a link later. Rob (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
