Hi All, I’m exactly at the same stage. I’ve been losing some interest in Technic, I’ve dedicated some time to Christmas villages but nothing compares to the glorious years after the dark age (10 years ago) . Although I’ve never been a great or prolific builder, I’ve been experiencing a loss of excitement for Technic. I think there are a few reasons: Age (I’m 48 now), My 2 boys (13 and 16) don’t care about Lego, other interests, the cost of new sets, the lack of storage space (and I keep my sets apart) On an even more personal note, looking at where we are, and forgive me if I’m being unfair, sometimes I get the feeling that everything has already been invented or tried and I get that even from TLG.

I must say 8067, Mini Mobile Crane. 299 useful parts, nicely packed and lots of functions for the size.

Great video! If you could make it jump a bit forward the kids would be really scared! Very original. Looking at this and other out of the box MOCs that have surfaced lately, I'm thinking that there's a place beyond car/truck and construction equipment that I have to explore. Congratulations

Hi Madoca Hope you're ok and am I glad you're back. Beautiful creations as always. You are defining a style. Love all your work but for me the Tatra is special. Happy building with emphasis on the happy.

[MOC] Tatra 813 Trial Truck
Detzit replied to Madoca 1977's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Usually I don't keep models on display. I build, take it apart and proceed to the next model. But with this, it's been over a month and I still couldn't take it apart. I think it's the best model I've ever built. The best looks vs construction vs play vs sturdiness vs size. Congratulations Madoca for this and for making it available for us. I wonder if TLG could/would ever produce a model like this and how much would it cost. -
@WR3KL3SS yes, Dish 6 x 6 Inverted (Radar) - Solid Studs. Really like your closed back solution

That looks good! red and gold Ducati style. While building this I couldn't help thinking that a lot went into the building of the engine to then be hidden by the panels...

Hi Sorry, just another color variation.

Thanks, Maybe you can find a better solution for that half bush...

Thanks @ metulskie8 - I like your color scheme very much red and DBG looks very good! Also your wheel arches are very solid. My solution is quite fragile.

Hi Everyone. Sorry, I couldn't find a 42039 MOD topic so I'm posting this here. Again as with some previous sets I tried to build this with the parts I already have. So, some "creative" solutions to overcame the lack of the new parts. Here is the result. Wheel arches

[MOD] 8070 with Custom Rims
Detzit replied to Detzit's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the feedback. And thanks Jim for the help. Sorry for not returning sooner. I wanted to build the 8070 from parts but was missing some. So the mods started by the need to find alternatives (wheel arches, some panels in black, etc.) The back is really the only thing I think needs working on the official 8070. Here are some details.
