  1. Looks fantastic !! Would love to build it and keep on my desk. Unfortunately, missing a lot of parts.
  2. This is a great idea. I really liked it. The gate opens for the next ball only after the first one has reached a certain distance. I think that's really cool.
  3. I am really curious to know how you mate the motor with Lego axles. Also, how the motor attaches to the Lego chassis. Some details of these will be very helpful. These are the most troublesome areas for any 3rd party power-train. Thanks !
  4. This one is really nice ! One additional level of gearing is adding a lot to the final images. They look awesome.
  5. This buggy is really nice. Would love to see more of it as well as your other creations.
  6. The pendular suspension truck is also quite nice. I liked that you shaved off the steering part to improve ground clearance. Alternative solutions are possible, but I think it's ok. Many of us have too many of that part
  7. Wow, the garbage truck is very nice ! Great idea of having minifig scale technic vehicles.
  8. Wow, the number of functions is staggering !! Looks like everything is packed very tightly. I can imagine it would have taken multiple iterations to get everything to fit together perfectly. Well, the final result is surely worth it ! And yes, would love to see a video of it in action. Thanks for sharing !
  9. Very cool contraption !! I love all such "unconventional" usage of Lego. Thanks for sharing.
  10. Actually this is the crux of the issue. All problems we have with China are due to the non-democratic setup there, whether the minor Lego issues or the bigger geopolitical ones. The car itself is going to be fantastic ... it is after all a Brunojj1 design.
  11. Sure, that's we do all the time because of parts shortage (or laziness ). But I was talking about building colour consistent MOCs. The examples you have shared are fantastic builds. But I would not be surprised if the parts for them also come from a large number of sets (or supplemented by bricklink), especially the first two ones.
  12. I just realised that 42069 has only 38 dark purple parts out of the total 2382. It would have been so nice if it had been released with common colours instead. We would have had the wheel arch in red, black, or white. The purple palette is so limited, and the colour itself is not universally appreciated. Because of so many different colours being used across technic sets, it is impossible to build a colour consistent MOC even if you own a decent number of sets. Bricklinking almost becomes compulsory. Adults have the luxury of having that freedom, but kids will mostly not be able to buy from bricklink. Are all these diverse colours needed to make the sets look attractive on shelves? I am not convinced.
  13. Thank you @Pattspatt for the teardown photos !
  14. This will work fine for light loads. I think the request was for a mechanism which can take more load.
  15. Wow, this is an awesome build !! The steering is simply ingenious. Amazing for a B model. Photo teardown will be good. Such an MOC deserves a challenging set of instructions. Trivializing with a one-part-in-each-step baby instructions is almost irreverent to this thoughtful MOC. A recreator will also find it a lot more satisfying build after sweating it out a bit.
  16. Can the small linear actuator be washed ? Dust is a problem in my area. I have washed a few of the assembled models and they have become like new. Even the mechanisms have started working smoothly. I put them under running water and scrubbed with a soft brush. Obviously not everything can be washed. In this context, I wanted to know if the small linear actuator can be washed. Thank you.
  17. Very aptly put But I suspect humans would have found some other topic to fight over if this one did not exist.
  18. Sorry for bumping up this old thread. What is the latest best option for alternative GBC balls ?
  19. Thanks for sharing this. Lots of interesting ideas there.
  20. Very nice ! Elegant design and efficient parts usage.
  21. Looks like a lot of fun !! And thanks for the mandatory under chassis picture
  22. Sorry for quoting the picture, but this is one picture that's worth seeing again and again. I have always wondered why Model Team was discontinued. Some basic functions combined with gorgeous looks was a fantastic combination. So many wonderful Model Team like MOCs are made and fans drool over them with oohs and aahs. One would have thought they will sell very well.
