I'm building a gun using Zak's trigger mechanism, it will look different and have a removable mag that "Clicks/Slides" into place. Right now I'm having trouble with the firing rod not reaching the rods, or being too long.

Currently I'm working on a V8 version similar to my V4 I have posted, however not the same design. I could have simply build two V4's and stuck them together, but I believe it would be too bulky and proportionately inaccurate.

I'm considering making a reese's dispenser, and maybe a contraption of sorts. Possibly a crane.

I'm working on an e______________ launch. woops I hope that didn't give it away

Crane:

V8's not quite done, but just started work on an inline 4.

I'm currently (slowly) building a coaster. I might not post it on SSC. And I'm finishing a sidearm gun.

Currently building the new Stock Car from the just on the shelves Road Rally Series. A 90% brick 10% micro-knex build, it features a number of brand new components, including 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, and 1x24 bricks (nobody but nobody has ever made 1x24 bricks!) plus the new version 2.0 brick motor. Besides the standard forward/off/reverse switch, it has a gear box switch neutral/in gear. This will change the way coasters driven in the future, as you can get out of gear and and manually advance the chain of a coaster.

I'm building a Knex ball machine called Cataclysm.

Wow that is so cool. Is there some way to make it a bit faster though?

Woofy

I wish I could, but it would put too much pressure on the car's motor, even with the counterweight.

Wont it be better to have a car that transports the balls to a lift? And the lift just goes up and down without the car. I bet it would be faster to.

I just wanted to make this lift where the car goes everywhere. If the car transported the balls to the lift, and the car didn't go on the lift itself, there wouldn't really be a reason to have a car at all.

Well not useless.. it would still transport the balls but anyway, its a nice construction.
Something you could try to improve a bit though is the front axle. I had some problems with my train not running smooth because of the shaking axles. They were just going from the left to the right causing the train to slow down a lot. So I added some sort of stabilizer to them; this hinge on the bottom. Now the axles don't shake at all.


Car without motor


Car with motor

Doing a conversion. Built a Shadow Cat (from the Knex Mechwarrior series) then started deconstructing to turn it into a Bumblebee transformer. I'm using wheels and exterior panels from the yellow Street mods set and Mikey's Bike from Orange County Choppers series to create body armor for the mech. I replaced with foam dart launcher with 4 scratch built missles. Green and florescent green 4 slot connectors are being replaced with yellow 4 slot connectors, likewise pale gray half moons with yellow half moons, in keeping with Bumblebee's color scheme. I'm debating whether to install 2 Knex motorcycle headlights, or 2 Struxx green headlights (the latter requires using a Knex brick plate and then a gusset adapter from Struxx.) May go with the Struxx headlights just to balance out the weight of the Transformer.

Just finished up my first custom micro k'nex build...it was a big amusement park swing ride with 8 swings. I used micro k'nex for the outer body and the moving parts, the bricks for the seats, and standard k'nex for the gearing. Turned out pretty well i guess, if i get some more micro parts i could start making some bigger stuff besides my coasters.

I am currently building in sections inside, a 12 foot ball machine with 5 tracks using golf balls as the ball. It will feature a loop that i'm hoping to get to 4 feet. No Pics until its set up outside, which should be Monday!

this:

Well, I just finished a ball machine and a cool quarter operated roller coaster.

I've been working on a new Hyper on the SSC.
