Lego against the Soviet designer.
In our family, there was a dispute, it is better and more useful for children. We conducted an experiment and share the results. One in the hole, the other in pupyrochkah!
Lego favor in the gardens, the metal is recommended for school. It's time to do something more or less comparable and see.
It will be a series of tests. Today, the first part of "Car".
Terms of reference:
1 The truck-samosvalchik.
2 The size of a palm.
3 To reclined body.
4 To the wheels turning.
As it happened:
They look, of course, as GAZ AA next to a modern dump truck :)
4.
Evaluation functional: The wheels turn, the body is opened. And the Soviet version of the hood, and more!
The mechanism of rotation of the wheels. Soviet metal Designer allows you to invent the knot a dozen different ways. Tired nut twist, fine motor skills! This is the advantage of this type designers.
Plastic opponent in this sense is not rich. In our house of Lego parts piling up year three, but two pivots trinkets barely found. He could get along this way:
But this legkotnya, this is my six year old son for 10 points zafigachit. And it does not hold. Play the child impossible. A couple of turns, and in the hands of crumbles. A more exclusive car called! Not that the screw connection.
Made in USSR. The impressive ground clearance, plenty of space, which can accommodate suspension, or even the engine.
Details "hood", "door", "wings" and "roof" - a gift from the set of compilers. Without them, the model would look like AMO F-15.
Rubber wheels! Now there are none. Only plastic that slide, the road is not kept, thundering just ugh!
Prince of Denmark. Details neatly driven home. Paint Quality Summit. The gaps between the panels is minimal. All-terrain tires. One word, a foreign car!
Details of "glass", "wings" and "roof" - the card of Lego. Just pop in any one set. Oh, that's that, and without modern cabin homemade Lego will not remain.
Attention to the question! Why such a massive get the model? Why is the "Belly" in the truck? Anyone who has built a Lego knows that takes no more details on the structure and on its strengthening. To remove something from them, everything falls apart. Lego blocks work well for compression and tensile absolutely nothing. And this is their biggest disadvantage. House build good technique is bad.
The opening mechanism of the body. If Lego had no special parts, dump would not have happened. Only the board. The metallic question is not worth.
Design features: from the Soviet model, with almost equal geometric dimensions are much higher maneuverability.
Conclusions
Lego
pros:
Bright, pleasant to the eye and to the touch. So it attracts kids.
Easy to work without tools.
Many different detalek beauty.
Cons:
Does not work on stretching. Damage to the floor machine, you will collect half an hour.
It is difficult to perform the moving parts. Only with special parts.
Soviet metal Designer
pros:
Strong does not prick.
Threaded connections are taught to work with mechanisms. From step to plumbing, soldering, tinning and other professional skills.
Very functional for engineering tasks.
Cons:
Details bend, then do not straighten.
Rare items for beauty. Obtained brutal monsters. But wrong is tailored so tightly sewn.
What to give children?
These designers do not have to fight. They should be alternated. Lego Architecture. Designer metal engineering.
Still, I'm betting on the metal notch plastic due to a greater technological capacity. Many engineering solutions implemented easily and gracefully with his aid, and in no way Lego. P.S. By the Soviet version, I added an elegant trailer :). Just silly plastic wheels.
