Studless

Hi all, Thanks for all the responses, friendly crowd it seems! ;) I've already started experimenting and the even to odd transition takes some getting used to but isn't a huge factor I think. The main thing is really linkages and efficient use of space. I'm using LDD to sort of test some ideas and I'm already stuck on one idea I just can't seem to get right so that's a fun puzzle (for the interested; 42006 has 2 free turning axles going into the arm for the LAs. I'm trying to get 3 or even 4 free axles in there but having some issues doing it in a space efficient manner). I'm a programmer by trade so this sort of problem solving is especially fun for me. Anyway, again, thanks for all the input. I'll pick up that book as well as it sounds very helpful. Cheers!

That does look like a great reference. Thanks!

Hi all, I recently received my big box of old Lego Technic from my parents and it completely sparked a renewed interested in Technic. I tried to put some of the models together but since it has been 20 years since I last used it and I clearly wasn't very careful as a kid not a lot of them are complete. To remedy that problem I went out and got 8110, 9383 and 42006 because I am/was a huge fan of pneumatics (sparked by the awesome 8868 and some earlier smaller pneumatic sets) and wanted to try the IR/PF stuff and the LAs respectively so I figured those would be good sets to start out with. Oh and I've also started lurking here but figured I might as well register ;) So with that introduction aside here's my actual question; I love the studless stuff because it makes it much more challenging to create good, solid models. The thing is that I have to get used to all the new building techniques, even the relatively simple ones. I was wondering if there's a place on the big ol' internet that can be used as a reference for a lot of standard building techniques (from simple things like different connections to components like suspensions, transmissions, various gear linkages and so forth). Does that exist? Thanks a lot! A revived Technic fan.
