Hi and a happy new Year, I lost my whole bookmarks, so my likes of this forum, too. I am searching for a herofactroy MOC which is a mount (beast like) with an elvish(?) cavalier/rider. Maybe I am blind or haven't type in the right keywords, but I can#t find this MOC How can help me? regards Kai

Please _remove_ me from the special board Thank you

I would like to join teh academy, too. Maybe it was better before I done my first review...

Really yummi! Well done.

You are right. H is for Hannover. The Hannover Factory builds Utility vehicles like the Bulli. So the 'home' is there.

It is an easy scissor mechanism. Nothing really special. Works fine

So minimalistic. But it has many details Love it! Well Done!

Hi, here is my first review. More pictures and less words because my english isn't very well. In my childhood I collect VW modelcars in 1/43 scale. I had them all: Polo G40, Corrado VR6 and many busses. My dreamcars are still the T1 Samba and T3 Caravelle Carat. Over the years my collection moved to some boxes and now they are all gone. But now with the Lego T1 Camper Van a good looking model - in a larger scale - came back to my living (room)! I wanted it, but not to the release date. But my wife couldn't wait for it. Now here it is Set Name: VW T1 Camper Van Set Number: 10220 Release year: 2011 Pieces: 1332 Price: 99,99 Euro The Box Really heavy and feels mostly filled The content All the bags are unnumbered. Have I told that I don't linke stickers? Okay, there arn't many. But when they don't glued exactly it doesn't look nice. And this happens often (to me). Sample page from the instructions The Building of the Van The engine: Well designed. Looks like the Prototype The Chassis: The mounting for the flor First Bodyworks: It suggest what a huge model it is Engine Hood First Interieur The Interieur at the first level is finished The Drivers cabine and the mounting of the front More Interieur. I like the T-Shirt With Windows Bodyworks almost finished Mounted Pop Top Last Parts for the front Done! A view thru the open doors. Legos alms - The extra parts My wife was build this model. Her first big Set. It tooks about 5 hours to build. I must say that she is really a Rookie and she made some small breaks. There arn't many tricky passages. Here comment was "That looks so awesome!" and "Thats soooo cool!". So I can say that the model is very good. Summary: Design: 9/10 - Really well designed. Build: 8/10 - Some Sections are a bit tricky like the Pop Top when combining the Top on the mechanism with the fabric in there and some connections have a little stabilize problem. Parts: 8/10 - Don't ask me for speacial parts and colors... I mean that the most parts are very common. Price: 10/10 - IMHO a very good price for a Set with more than 1300 pieces Summary: 35/40 => 88%! I love it! It is a very good looking car and it is very close looking to the prototype. If you are a Bulli-Fan you MUST have it. It isn't a toy (some fragile parts like the roof at the front and the fabric at the Pop Top) - so there isn't any swooshability, biut it is really WOW. I hope that you will have so much fun while building like my wife. Aditional Pics Figures not included in Set 10220! :-P - Kai

I like the pipes on the tank. Well detailed! Thanks for sharing! -Kai

Yes, it is very clever technique. Whenn I plan in my mind, i will use the 1 stud wide pieces. For my loco I can place the Motor in the coaldepot on the back of the Cabine and can use a center axis to power the bogies... OT: But the model looks great, too. I am a modelrailroad enthusiast who build by japanese prototype (see Photo link)

Thank you for your comments The most parts for this moc came from the Brickmaster:Star Wars book. I need some more dark blue slope(?-the curved 3x1 parts). But I am not very firm with Bricklink. I must have a look. I have many ideas, but when you havent a good choise of bricks it isn't fun to experiment with some constructions. And I am not good in LDD or other CAD programs... With the EN cabine was my idea, too, but the cabin becomes higer as the EN one. Because of this there must be a splitted windows in the front. The Wheels and the axle is only temporary. I have no bricks with a hole (2x1 technic, ...), so I use this one to get the wheels in place and use it for the front, too. There I will late use light gray saber blades for it

Hi Can you add me to the List? I am a new collector. At the moment I own only the Ememerald Night ant the 4708 HP train, the Maersk Train comes next. The both PF Cargo trains Looks good, too, but I have only limited space in my Hobby Room :-/ -Kai

Hi, this is my first MOC, a Heavy narrow-gauge steam loco. At this time I haven't a huge brick storage, so I can't go on. Actual I haven't any ideas to go on with the interieur or the roof. What do you think? -Kai
