NathanR, the latest picture of the model, it looks strong.
Could more technic bricks be something that could make it strong too?
Regarding the cost. Big builds will cost much, nothing we can do about that.
40174 ? I got it delivered few hours ago :)
jojotakeda's mod, to get this full rc is nicely done :)
I would only? mod the flatbed of 42070, so it has a floor. Atleast for first build.
Efferman's mods look nice too.
LUT building guide you say?
They have an official page for it: http://whatsuptoday.free.fr/LUT-Building-guide/LUT-building-guide.html
Complete with building guide, lxf file and parts list.
KingsKnight, I am 1 of those that voted and hoped for your Space Shuttle.
ScottishDave's Space Shuttle + tank and boosters look nice :)
I built the Space Shuttle too, but I have not even started on how I could build the 2 boosters nor the external tank. But I am thinking of going for the painted version of the tank. "STS-1 and STS-2 launches".
/Edit 10th April 2018:
Been waiting for some parts from Lego Bricks & Pieces for the last 3 weeks. Boosters and External Tank can not be built without those last parts needed. There are some differences to KingsKnight's build.
