Decool 3354 Motorcycle - WIP 1

Another Decool set

 

I have been assembling a lot of Lego sets recently. Truth is Lego takes up less time to assemble and these past few months, I don't have enough time to complete even one small section of plamo. So I will be bringing out my Lego sets from storage and assembling them until I find time to get back to plamo.

 

Another brick set to be assembled and this time it is the Decool 3354 Motorcycle. This is the Decool version of the Lego Technic 8051. What is interesting is that the original Lego set has a 2-in-1 build function and this is the alternate build. Hmm...I wonder if I can build the original version.

With everything checked and made sure that there are no missing or repeated instructions like what happened with the Batmobile, we can start the assembling.

 

The dreaded chain links to most builders

 

Instructions shows a total of 34 chain links are required for the back tyre but when assembled, the chain will be loose and the gears are smoothly. The solution: Use 33 pieces instead.

Start of the assembling of the engine block:

 

The pistons does move up and down individually like how an actual piston works. So far this is the best and most enjoyable part of the build. Think it is also because the engine block is the heart of the motorcycle.
