Great work gentlemen. It is well worth all the energy that when into this model and project. A wonderful ship and the box art and booklet are amazing.

Sweet ride indeed. The engine is a great point of detail. I really like the front tires with the rim sticking out like that, it fits perfectly with the Hotrod theme.

That's the problem with rushing thinks to get it done... Well spotted For the people how want to build one there own, here is the LDD file link. You mist replace the light gray 5L cross axle in the HOG steering with the cross axle with stop.

Thanks guys. Yes, it's going to be difficult choosing the best entry, there are so many awesome models. I do have a couple of favorites, but still it's a hard choice. Tonight I will start making building instructions for the mini robot. Depending on to time I have (still have a lot to do for the upcoming events), but It would be great if I could build a couple of models and show them on Skaerbaek and Legoworld the Netherland.

Another great Pneumatic entry It looks good and the functions are perfect for this model. I think that de extra valve wasn't necessary. Pneumatic follows basicly the way of less resistant. The claw will shut first before there is enough pressure to lift the boom. This would reduce the parts and could be used for some extra detail of function. Although..., the boom will drop once it's over it point of gravity. that will change the pressure in the system and will release the barrel before it is over the hole...

Very cool entry. Nice style and the colors just work.

great entry. I love de dubble function of the lift controling gear. Impressive to get a compleet working forklift below 200 parts. Just keep in mind that you can only use 1 promo photo. In the entry topic you posted about 4 pictures of the MOC. Try to get this down to 1. You can reduce you picture by jus 1 photo per function and using arrows that point both ways. Good luck, there is just a little bit of time left befor closing.

Poeh... Cutting it a bit close, but finally was able to make the official entry. Mini 8852 by Barman76, on Flickr IMG_7763 by Barman76, on Flickr I am very happy with the end result of the promo photo. This is for me the first time I edited photo's using layers an other neat stuff. This toke a lot of hours getting to know the program and even more time editing all the photo's. Getting the photo's right wasn't as easy as I though. There have been many re-shoots to get the different photo to overlay properly. Fixing the back axle and steering was a great help in reducing the movement of the car during transformation. Thanks to Jim and the rest of the Eurobricks team for making this possible and :thumbup: for all the great entries, making this competition a smashing success

41. Mini Robot (8852) Entry name: Mini 8852 Robot Part count: 197 pcs Functions: - Steering (HOG) - Convert from vehicle to robot and back - Movable arms Promotional image Mini 8852 by Barman76, on Flickr Parts list IMG_7763 by Barman76, on Flickr Link to topic http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96632

Wow, that looks great. Good job on the shape of the body. It's very recognizable as a Beetle. Looks very sporting.

Absolutely great entry. Nice to see a tracked vehicle in this competition. His big brother is also very impressive.

congrets on all your firsts. The promo is also nicely done.

I like it that you can hand out points in stead of just picking the best. This is a little less hard to pick the best ones. For me the best Technic competition ever with so many enteries and high quality models.

Wonderful mini motor. For my taste there are a bit to many system parts used for a Technic model, but they do make it look great. Very cool.

Just a very funny and cute little quad bike. It is perfect for the competition.

I like it a lot! Very well designed model and great functions as well. Impressive that you lost more than 50 parts and made it look even better.

Very interesting project. The Sbrick would do wonders for PF models. It is a vast improvement. I made my pladge.

I had the pleasure of seening this on Legoworld the Netherlands last year. In 2013 I made something simulair, but this was way to bulky and didn't work. I was absolutely amazed when I saw that you actually did it and seeing the inside just very simple, making the most out of the pneumatics. Simple but genius!!! Already told you that this inpired me to use this system to make my former project working. Good luck making this MOC better and smaller. I just know this must be possible.

Thanks guys I think i'll put in a micro motor for just that extra bit of power

Thanks guys. Mediocre ones come up with good idea's all the time. The gifted learn form them as well If you mean the thing in the back ground, that is a arm module for a star fighter thingy transformer. This is one of my first arm prototypes which has been laying around for a couple of years now. About 2 weeks ago I was playing with it and decided to make the left one as well to see the bigger picture. It was just in the frame. I have quit a view of (old) idea's laying on the corner of my desk...

Absolutely amazing. we have a WINNER!!!

Aaah crap... You beat me to it... hahaha. The tracks seems to be working very well in a large vehicle like this. The suspension is unique and works wonderful, all thanks to the Howe brothers. The canon is just a great extra to finish the model. Mine version seriously lacks power, so I have to use the RC motor as well to give it the speed to make it interesting. I do have to say thanks, because your last tracked vehicle inspired me to make the Ripsaw. Also thanks when it comes to your video's. mahjqa, ZBLJ and you are my inspiration for making out-door video's. I hope to finish my first one shortly.

So dusting off a dusky topic. Since the robotic hand I haven't done that much building. The raw video material of the Mad Masher Monster Truck wasn't usable for youtube, so this had to be redone. During my holiday I was able to shoot some good video's in the park in my home town. Watching Sariel's and ZBLJ out-door video's, I had to make one as well, they just look better than studio video's. Thanks to NXTchris and Jurgen Krooshoop, I have a very nice intro for my video's to make them a bit more interesting. In the video of the Mad Masher it will have its debut. Right now I am working on the Ripsaw from the Howe brothers. I just saw the video of Sariel's version... He beat me to it ;) I am using an XL and L motor to power each track. Today I could test it and the is decently fast, but not as fast as i would like. I think I also need to use RC motors for power to get some speed. 20140719_130628 by Barman76, on Flickr Sariel's version is build his tracks system and the interesting suspension. It looks great and drives even better. Mine will be more of a scale model, trying to get as close as possible to the real Ripsaw. Making the roll cage will be a challenge.

Hello everyone, The deadline is approaching so time the pick up this project. Last week I finally had an idea how to make the steering functional. I had a solution, but this was very bulky and the model lost a lot of it's cuteness. The steeing is basicly the same as the original set, with a steering pin behind the cabin/head. 8852 Redux-6a by Barman76, on Flickr 8852 Redux-6b by Barman76, on Flickr The solution is actually very simple, but nice. 8852 Redux-6c by Barman76, on Flickr I have already taken photo's for the presentation. Now I need to make time for the edditing process. This is the hard part and not me speciality. I have a nice plan to demonstrate all the functions. For this I need a photo editor program that I don't have and need to learn the software, which takes time... The photo with all the parts is also done and it just under the 200. With 197 parts in total.
