how to make a model mount with legos
difficulty 5/10 because of sharp objects

so as a little kid you might of had a army surplus of legos but what can you use them for now?
The answer...Body mounts!
This just covers the front and most tricky mount.

So first
gather your supplies

so if your supplies are gathered lets go!
step 1
take your tall 4x1 lego and your razor and trim those pegs out like so

step 3
take your short 4x1 and sand those pegs off of the top like so

then assemble the parts.
step 4
glue the two together

like so
step 5
get a short 1x1 i forgot to mention and fit it together like so

but dont glue it just yet...
size it to fit on your front clip

step 6
does it fit snugly? Yes! excelent now glue it on in that exact position. almost done friends
step 7
glue it to your front bumper
but do it off center so the open area is in the center like so

step 8
let it dry
step9
once totaly dry mount it

step 10
this is the most important step this will affect your xmods forever...
are you ready
are you

note you cant use 3x1 blocks because they are loose as well but too tight to adjust.

It could use a bit of clarifying, and maybe a single shot with all the materials instead of separate pictures of each bit. Also I'd suggest just using 1x3 beams and plates rather than having it sit off to the side like that.

My only question is how it comes off... is it glued to the stock front clip or are the two legos glued together?

[mr.hotrod]

the two legos are glued to the bumper so it fits like a body mount

it took a bit to came up with but it is an iron grip

[Noturday]

some parts could use more clarification and details on how to do it, and we dont need a pic of all the supplies individually when you have a pic of all of them together, and dont double post, i'm sure you've been here long enough to know that by now

its a lego, how well do you think it will hold up on impact? i would say not well at all, i can just see running over a crack in the driveway and the body goes rolling away.

really it is all about your glue otherwise it is really sturdy
