zonoskar replied to jb70's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWorking on the Extra Pimped parts list when you do have the original set and want to build in in the BLO color: https://rebrickable.com/users/zonoskar/lists/429543/ But there are many pieces in red in @astyanax's MOC that are not available in BLO, like the bionicle eye piece, the flexible hoses and 1x13 liftarm. So I'm not sure if I'll be building this MOC, also because the pieces from the above list are going to be around 200 euro on top of the Lego set. The MOC uses a few expensive pieces like the DBG panels in the dash (6.5 euro per piece) and the exhaust is also 20-25 euro, maybe I can brick-build this piece. I just got the set, so I'm building it over the next few weeks and keep an eye on the diff with the extra pimped build.

zonoskar replied to jb70's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWeird, I have the same list of missing parts. Could it be different moulds? How do you compare a list to a set? I want to build this in the BLO color of the original set :) Found it. I'll just delete all the red pieces. /edit: Why did @astyanax include piece 6797? That's a 100 euro piece new and 25-30 euro used. Did you have that lying around (from set 8465)? Any alternatives? Also for the red mudguard 67141 there is no BLO alternative, only the 80284, which is 2 studs shorter. How to fill the gaps? Just follow the Lego model?

zonoskar replied to jb70's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingVery nice mods people. By the time I get to buy this set, it'll be pimped to mars and back. I'm a little bit disappointed @astyanax didn't design a better suitcase. :)

zonoskar replied to Auroralampinen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI wonder why they didn't announce the Red Bull car. Maybe it's not coming?

zonoskar replied to Auroralampinen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThe DRS flap seems to be connected with tan pins (no friction). Could we get a mechanism that deploys the DRS instead of a manual operation?

From the leaked pictures, the new F1 sets appear to have wider rear tires. Pretty please... Or are my eyes deceiving me?

zonoskar replied to jb70's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingMaybe the Lego car looks like the new W1 and we don't know it. Might explain the wrong nose :)

zonoskar replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI extended the wheelbase a bit so the astronaut fits better. There's now also room for a backpack.

zonoskar replied to jb70's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHe is referring to the post that stated 2 shocks would side by side in the new suspension parts. You could also change a shock with a pneumatic cylinder.

Yeah, I painted mine :) Not something normal people do. But apparently there is a custom sticker sheet you can get to fix the color issue. I also updated the front a bit. Not the MOD from Lucas. The bottom doesn't touch the wings anymore, but I kinda like this look. It def not correct for the car. Oh, and if you don't like non-Lego pieces or 3D printed parts, you can get old wider tires (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6594#T=C&C=11) that have the same diameter as the normal tires that are on the DeLorean for example. They just have treads. And the only rims that fit the color scheme are white (but I painted mine, again not what normal people do). They're about 3 euro per piece incl rims.

zonoskar replied to Jim's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI revisited this set a few weeks ago, sorry for the huge topic kick. Initially I didn't think it was a bad set, just a bit unfinished. But I completed the bed and did a full recolor of the set. I like it now way better. It still has the silly pendulum axles in the rear and no suspension in the front though. The bed was so easy with very few parts, I'm astounded that Lego themselves didn't bother including it.

zonoskar replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIf anyone is interested, the 31152 Astronaut fits the LRV with a bit of adapting of the legs. I shortened the lower legs by 3 studs. I always thought the legs were way too long on this set. [/img]

zonoskar replied to jb70's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWould be nice to have the HoG on the roof in stead of on the dash like the other supercar pimped builds. Also would be nice to be able to lift the rear section without the need to remove the spoiler. I'm already working on a recolor, but I think everyone will do that anyways.

zonoskar replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingSo the nose should have been 2 studs longer. I still think Lego still did a better job than Bruno, but they also had more (newer) parts available. Must be me then, not a real petrol head, not a Lego fanboy as I hate all the unicorn vomit inside of these cars.
