Kronos Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Congrads on ur winning :) don't take this the wrong way but is this not 9398 with a differant shell? Ur very lucky to get to work with TLG by the way :) Yes it is. That's what the competition was about! Create a different shell for the 9398. http://technic.us.lego.com/en-us/Campaign/Howtoenter/Default.aspx Quote
davidmull Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Yes it is. That's what the competition was about! Create a different shell for the 9398. http://technic.us.lego.com/en-us/Campaign/Howtoenter/Default.aspx Ah ok thanks for filling me in. It's a wonder they don't just sell the shell on its own so!

crazy_1993 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Going for gold! “My goal was to win outright. I thought that my main competitors would be famous model builders. Somehow they did not make it to the finals, but I had to compete with a genius builder “crazy_1993”.” LOL, thanks for mentioning me, Egor! Still looking forward to the reveal of the final model. When I designed my entry for the competition, I had no Lego except my old pneumatic excavator which I cannot take apart because many of the parts have started developing fractures and breaking, so it would damage it too much. My parents made me sell off the rest of my Lego when I was 16 as I was supposedly 'too old for it' and I agreed with them at the time, but I have been wanting my Lego back ever since. Also considering I am now studying physics at university, buying enough bricks to build the Enforcer for real would have been dangerously expensive! The competition entry was my first ever major technic MOC so I was thrilled to come second in the competition. When I was younger, I must admit, I spent much of my time building from the instructions, not because I couldn't build myself but because I find following Lego instructions SOOOO satisfying! My only other MOC was a 6 x 6 monster truck with pneumatic suspension made from my pneumatic JCB and some other stuff when I was 14 and got I my model making badge in the boy scouts from it. This christmas, I got a Lego Ningago bike as a joke present and I have already remodelled it into a snowmobile with steering skis. I do wonder why I never did more MOCing. I hope that I will be able to enter more of the these competitions in the future. Quote
rm8 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 My new desk ornament Good start, hope next set will be not Chima or Turtle Ninjas:) Coming back to Boss: There many work to do to present new model in such short period: 1) build winning model in cooperation with winner 2) analyze it 3) improve design in cooperation with winner 4) improve colour sheme + stickers in cooperation with winner 5) check model to agree all TLG building rules 6) produce details with new color 7) prepare presentation, instruction, and needed detail sets for every member of commission 8) accept model by comission 9) complete comission's recomendations 10) count all parts needed for set several times 11) develop design of the box 12) prepare materials for online presentation All this work must be done while making other work, not linked with crawler ( developing new models for 2014,2015...) This is the first experience for TLG to make model in cooperation with lego-fan in short period of time. We must understand and be patient. :) Quote

hrontos Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 It looks like there is a new blog entry with a sneak preview announcement, but the preview is not there yet. Quote
Ramacco Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 When I click on 'click here' I'm forwarded to the pictures rm8 posted here from his model. Quote
davidmull Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 It looks like there is a new blog entry with a sneak preview announcement, but the preview is not there yet. Looks pretty cool :) Quote
agrof Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I bought this design and colour. Waiting for release... in the basket... build. Edited March 22, 2013 by agrof Quote
rm8 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Take a look at a side steps and bull bar - they are metallic. Wheels have white circle and 6 holes (not 3)!;) Waiting for online presentation in april Edited March 22, 2013 by rm8 Quote
colinrichardson Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I'm so glad they went with that blue. Looks like they switched out round connectors (I don't remember the proper name) for liftarms in a number of places. Also substituted a long thin panel for the short one at the base of the c-pillar. The new seats look really plush and go well with the 70s aesthetic of the rest of the car. Nice job Lego (and rm8 of course). Quote
Ramacco Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Love the blue.. Love the blue.. Love the blue.. P.S. Also love the model rm8!! Quote
OzBen Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 WOW!! I think im in love well done to rm8 and the lego team Quote
rm8 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Sorry, we cant change chassis color (red). Edited March 22, 2013 by rm8 Quote
PsyKater Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 You just got bricksetted I imagine that the preorders are sold out on the first day. It's really a lot better than before. The colors and the minor changes. I am surprised though, how close it is to the original. Very well done! Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I am glad TLG bring back the DARK BLUE :wub: Your Model looks Stunning in this collor setting . Quote
