January 24, 20178 yr @Jeroen Ottens: I came across your project and it looks really impressive. What's the current status and when would the part list and instructions be available ?

But as you can imagine it takes some time, even for a instructionwizard like Legolijntje is (he is making the instructions). A partslist is not available yet, but ~60% of the parts are from the Porsche. Jeroen

January 25, 20178 yr Maybe for the front wheel arch, make it thicker, like maybe two studs tall, or some sort of system based solution to obtain a 1.5 stud tall, as it currently looks too thin around the headlights.Â

Got myself the Porsche for Christmas and am now preparing for @Paul Boratko's Scorpion CK-R MOC. with these additional parts I should be relatively close to the parts of your DB11, I guess... I hope you will keep us informed of status and progress of the instructions.
January 25, 20178 yr Awesome, I am in progress of building the 42056 at the moment. This one will definately be a follow up once the instructions are available. Would love to play with the gearbox. Already had a lot of fun with the Porsche one, but the one in this car is looking very awesome!
January 27, 20178 yr For me, you improved it magnificently with your last update. Until then I was following this project with somewhat mixed feeling about the looks. I couldn't name what was wrong but somehow I didn't like the bodywork and the overal looks. Now I totally love it! Btw, that grey accent rim around windows has made great impact on the looks! I kinda like it there :D It may look just as good with orange but now I would almosz vote for it to stay :D Edited January 27, 20178 yr by krisandkris12
January 27, 20178 yr Hi @Jeroen Ottens: Could you let me know what the lengths are of the silver soft axles you used ? I am preparing already pending the released parts list and instructions. BTW: could you shed some light on the expected date that the parts list and instructions would be available ? Groeten
January 27, 20178 yr The silver flex-axles: 2x 32235 Soft Axle 19L, Flat Silver 2x 32201 Soft Axle 14L, Flat Silver I leave the full parts-list up to Jeroen if he wants to share that now or not. After all, it's still a 'preliminary parts list'Â Â

I really like this DB11 MOC...

It can be that the partslist will change because of feedback from the testbuilders, but I expect only common parts to change, not the rare parts. Jeroen EDIT: Literally five minutes after I posted this I found that one gear was hitting a 5x11 panel... I'll first solve this an then put a new partslist on the web... Sorry about that.

OK, I will keep monitoring this thread for an updated partslist. Regarding the instructions: you are going to release these, right ? I am definitely interested. Good luck with the testing & debugging, optimization and implementation into the final instructions !

Problem solved... Here is the updated preliminary partslist. Please be aware that the instructions are still not tested (even I haven't tested everything yet), so some changes can still happen. With a bit of luck the Lego bricks & pieces service will resume operation Feb 1st with the #3 connectors in orange available... I have tried to optimize to the Porsche partslist, but still 38% of the parts are not from the Porsche...

Thanks, but somehow I can't import the xml file in Excel (although this mornings list was no problem...?!?). Would it be possible to re-supply it in a different format ? error message: "invalid file reference or one or more of the referenced schemas could not be found" BTW: I already secured the connector # 3 parts for my upcoming build of the Scorpion CK-R MOC

January 28, 20178 yr I know Bricklink and Rebrickable, but Brickstock is new for me. I'll give it a try => DONE, this worked ! (I am still relatively new to this. The Porsche I got myself for Christmas got me into it again after > 30 years... ) Edited January 28, 20178 yr by brickhank
January 28, 20178 yr You can also import Brickstock files in Rebrickable Works fine too (although at the moment, Rebrickable is having a major update, so it's not working very well)Â

But as soon as it was fully functional again, I imported the parts list and made a missing parts wanted list for this amazing MOC. 21 hours ago, Jeroen Ottens said: Problem solved...

Because for the life of me I can't figure out how to get this site to simply remove all parts from this DB11 part list that are already present in a Porsche... Â I am probably missing something so simple, but I don't see it and I already wasted enough time (thanks slow loading of rebrickable) on this to do it manually by now... Â Edit: nvm figured it out. Or well, at least a method through custom list did the trick. Edit2: Hmmm 91% after adding a couple of sets that I already disassembled. Edited January 29, 20178 yr by Appie

Make a custom list with the DB11 parts, and than build it. (I would go for it with 91%...).
January 30, 20178 yr Oh, don't worry. I will be building this. For the people who consider building this as well. Rebrickable suggestions for additional sets is nice info for this creation. Besides having a Porsche, sets like the Claas or Arocs will bump you up from 62% to 75-76%. And if you have both and something like the 42054 you are looking at 85% or so. With the majority of the missing 15% then being system bricks, which aren't expensive or (very) rare. Edited January 30, 20178 yr by Appie
January 31, 20178 yr Very nice renders, as always @Blakbird! There's only a minor, minor error in the file (and thus in your cutaway render) which I noticed yesterday: the front-gear at the drivers-seat is pointing inwards, which should point outwards.Â
