Sorry for the stupid question, but the small angled panel or the red Ferrari's nose is a New angle? Looks 135° from this view. Yes, new angle. And flat angled panel at last! The parts inventory is improving, you can't deny that.- 5,263 replies

Brickshelf is shutting down. Let's try to save it.
Lipko replied to Trekkie99's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I don't know what is the company's policy, but the 1. image is blocked duo to the website being blocked. Misc or unknown category, dunno if it's some general rule, or the fact that it is somehow redirecting. I'm not an IT guy, just a hobby code messer. -

I won't say I understand everything, but would be off anyway. Thanks for the reply -

I cannot setup Drive properly. Sometimes images get blocked, sometimes pdf instructions ask my permission to be shared no matter how I set it, maybe it forgets the setting or automatically switches of sharing after some months, dunno, it is a real PITA for me. For some providers it's nőt so obvious how to deeplink pictures, soe providers make horrible long code filenames, etc. I certainly want to avoid an owned website, so I'll look into it. Maybe this thread could include some tips. Redirects can be rendered in a normal <img> or background-image property? How you redirect a .jpg? EDIT: maybe I'll go with some tool like this one, or better, or make my own tool (so the mapping table doesn't have to be manually filled, it could be in a simple tab/comma delimeter text): https://www.joydeepdeb.com/tools/find-replace.html Basically I will regenerate the codes with the mass search+ replace function. I have a protfolio site, and that's only some 10 pages to generate the HTML for, and some Eurobricks topics to do the same. Shouldn't be too much manual work, though I'm pretty sure Eurobricks formatting will totally fall apart, so maybe I'd better go manual... -

I use it as an image hosting site, but I remember that it was that very site that pulled me back into Lego. Somehow Google indexed it pretty good back then. Anyway, this is the curse of "free" internet. You can never know when the sites you use are gone. I still don't know where I should migrate my files, I don't have that many, maybe Blogger can handle it, though it's a real pain in the bottom to upload and use pictures there, but my portfolio site is also there. Sometimes I think it would worth it to buy a domain name and a host service and at least I will be in control, so even if the provider would be gone, the whole shebang could be uploaded to a different provider in a few cliks. No shitting with different interfaces and templates. -
42177 Mercedes G500 4X4
Lipko replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's what I guessed. They use whaveter fits. I think arrows are more usual, but in that particular case it would have been confusing because the pin shouldn't be pushed all the way in. -

Pastelling can also be confusing (harder to identify where the new parts should go, so you have to rely more on your work memory or have to page back and forth), I guess LEGO tested and found color vomit slightly better for building experience of an average (non AFOL) person. Always contouring can also be confusing because it hides fine details of where the new parts should go (for example pinholes that you can count, occlusions, etc). So occasional pastelling/contouring/arrow/single-part-callout when necessary with slight color vomit is the most convenient from building process point of view. -
Naked Motorbike 1:5 (WIP+questions)
Lipko replied to Lipko's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the comments! I posted of a real motorbike photo too for reference, that's kind of what I have in mind behing the thick fog of laymanship. The double wishbone suspension is there for two reasons: -a bit unusual, so for coolness effect -handles better in Lego version. I want the model to be playable, which means I want to give them to kids without explaining how to handle and without the risk of serious damage. The telescopes are prone to get stuck when pushed in a too slanted position, which is the default position in a bike. So instead of actuating, the whole assembly would bend (I hope that makes sense). My setup has much less problem with it, it actuates however I push the bike and the fork assembly doesn't get damaged. If you have trained eye: does the current version's proportions look acceptable for a streetfigher style bike? Do you notice something that's off? I'm a total layman when it comes to bikes. -
Naked Motorbike 1:5 (WIP+questions)
Lipko replied to Lipko's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I reworked the chassis and made the rear arm pivot position more realistic. I'm still struggling hard with the bodywork, but the overall proportions start to look okay (especially in comparison with the previously posted state), though the rear arm is one stud too long. I don't know if I want to put too much effort into it, I kind of like long motorbikes. The clutch cover is fake unfortunately, just like in the new set. -

That would fall apart, because of the long slit ín the middle.- 5,263 replies

Hmm, that new part seems useful, unfortunately not possible to sculpt from an existing part (something I do nowadays so I don't have to wait for new parts to be avaliable). A totally unrelated question. My part finding skills are very poor, and I'm looking for a part if it exists at all. 1L spacer with a pinhole (like the 1L liftarm) but with a rim on one side. Like a small cup. For some reason I remember such part exists. Or if it doesn't exist: the LOTR ring part is half stud thick, or plate thick? I need these for a one unit diameter wedge belt wheel. The rubber band keeps wandering off from a simple 1L liftarm, and the only possible connection is a pin.- 5,263 replies
