Future Flymech was made from parts from set 31034, and transforms from a jet plane to a mech without taking off parts. There are variety of hinges (frictioned and non-friction) and balljoints from this set, allowed me to pull this through with a mech with excellent articulations. (although the back kibbles does hinder the posability due to impaired stability ) Set 31034 is my first 2015 set I acquire this year. I quickly zip through building the 3 official modes last Friday and Saturday, then dismantle it and start building this guy. In less than 2 days I'm 99% done! One thing that I'm proud of is that I managed to streamline the orange parts underneath the wings.There are just a few orange parts from this set to utilize so placing them in the right place is challenging. The connection as shown by the red arrow is the mech's achilles' heel , easily pops out when transforming him. And the strongest hinges are used in the folding of the nosecone. The above shows how 2 cylinder shaped component are folded down to pad up the formed shoulders ,preventing them from sagging when the mech is upright later on. Check out more photos in my blog entry below: Alanyuppie's LEGO Transformers: LEGO 31034 Future Flyer Alternate mode: Future Flymech with instructions And of course... the building instructions in PDF format: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bccfhn4bxwvr4rm/futurefly-instruction.pdf?dl=0 OR a zipped version below, if you guys are uncomfortable downloading a pdf file =) https://www.dropbox.com/s/zm4afhskilk9q4z/futurefly-instruction.zip?dl=0 I'm currently very impressed with set 31034's parts selection. I think I just *might* churn something else out from it by building a mech that transform into something else (maybe a land vehicle or even a 4-legged mecha-beast). Will keep you guys updated!
This is amazing... brilliant! Thanks for sharing the instructions. Set 31034 is a must buy... I am waiting for it since the beginning of 2015 and hopefully will be available in Italy the next week.
Very....interesting? I wonder if this is meant to be played with in imaginary adventures with all of your other sets, or is it just something to look at? Besides that you do know you could download the Lego Digital Designer and just put it here instead of the pictures? (The pictures are better but its just an idea) K, thanks.
