"Simple" Lift

"Simple" Lift

Just had some fun playing with some pieces this weekend. I've built this type of lift before but never this close to actual minifigure scale. When I was 16 I got a job in the local mall, in Maryland, at an amazing store and I would often see these guys cruising around fixing things.

Enjoy.

UP


DOWN

Well , that is a a perfect moc ! When the lift is down does it lock ( stay there ) it you push in the axle ?

Simple, yet effective and so awesome. Like you said, if it isn't playable, it's not built by Rook!

Yeah it stays "up" just from the friction on the black pins.

Oh BTW, I changed but to build for you.

I haven't really messed with Technic pieces is there a difference between the black pins and the grey pins?

Also, nice lift design. Reminds me of when I was small and would take a couple of long technic bars and several pins and connect them together making a hand grabby thing.

Rook... I don't know. This little thing doesn't measure up in size with your other MOCs but I think I want this more.

I could play with this myself. Maybe a break down shot (yes the noob question) so I can make something similar for my son.

Awesome Job!

I think this could actually be a proper lego set. You have used the right amount of detail. Not to much not to little. It's also good because of the play value!
Well done!

Now, Rook, this is a much better build.

Ah I see you noticed the most complex aka "not so simple" part is well hidden. Yeah it took a bit figure out the right pieces to use to get it this small. I'll post a break down in the next day or two.

I didn't notice anything special about this build till I saw the second picture. That's when my eyes went O.O "Ohai!"

I look forward to your break down...

The black pins are called friction pins which are a lot tighter then the plain grey pins.

Wow this is exactly what my Dad works on when he is netting a bird building for pest control, nice representation Rook .

They call it the Genie in my school, used to change the lights in the Theatre! Superb!

I agree completely. Great build Rook!

Ok by popular demand here's a few extra shots.

Cool Rook, eclipse will like this. So will I.

I will see if I can build this, if I have the pieces.

This is actually a really simple design, I thought it would have been much more complex.
