1gor Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 white with little bit of red looks very nice. Looking forward to see the end-result Quote
Rudivdk Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 This is shaping up really well! The black/white two tone with the red stripe give it that luxury feel fitting for this type of airplane, and it looks great. I think you already have all the controls and functions in there, so this should be a very strong contest entry when finished. I'm glad you found the time and inspiration to pull it off!! Quote
WvG_853 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Fascinating to see your MOC come alive. I had not expected such a good looking result with so much functionality after the first images. You have spend a lot of time thinking and trying out things, and it shows in the result. I’m looking forward to seeing the final model! Quote
nigel1975 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Nice evolution in design, it's looking very good. I look forward to seeing the final entry. Quote
Lipko Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) OFF: This will be very close. I'm waiting for an order that's going to be shipped by the Hungarian Post. I trust them so much that I started another order that ships with a more reliable way but doesn't have the most important parts... Hopefully one of them will arrive on Friday the latest or I won't finish in time for filming and photo making. If the original order won't arrive in time, I will have to buy a set to along with the other order. The original order will eventually arrive, meaning that I will have quite some many unnecessary parts. Hopefully I can re-sell the unnecessary lot so I will only loose shipping costs ON: There are still minor things to solve. This was the toughest development I had so far with a Lego model.

MangaNOID Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Love to see this finished so hope the bits arrive and or the close of tc-15 can be held a little longer cause so far it looks incredible! Quote
Lipko Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Okay, the parts won't arrive in time, probably only on Monday or Tuesday. The crazy B plan is too crazy and it's not worth it just to be able to join the contest. I will finish the model next week though and only apply changes that I would have done if the parts arrived in time. Good luck for the contestants and I hope I won't forget to vote again...

Rudivdk Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Man that sucks... its a real shame because you were really close to finishing a potential prize winner. I appreciate that you do not abandon the build and finish it regardless, this is really a MOC that deserves to be finished. Will you shoot a vid of the functions once done? Quote

Sure, I will make proper photos and video and also LDD file. Quote

Cool, I would really appreciate that so I can compare the way you implemented your functions to my own. Functionally our builds are very similar, but I think there is still a lot for me to learn (I'm not a plane builder by nature, although I really liked doing this one). Quote

I'm not a plane builder either, that's why I joined the contest. Anyways, I enjoy your build too and took inspiration from it, for example I almost ditched flaps but since you implemented it, I didn't want to leave it that way. Also your model has landing gear steering, so I added it to mine too (and also because I realized it's sufficient to add friction to it, no need for return to center mechanism). Quote
Rudivdk Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Haha that's funny, I was struggling with the controls for my variable prop pitch and almost abandoned it altogether, but since you had it from day one and even with cockpit-control, I pushed myself to include it and settled for the current solution in the end. Guess we made each others builds better without even realizing it. Edited February 15, 2019 by Rudivdk Quote
brickhappy Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Keep it going, amazing build. Look forward to see it finished. Quote
agrof Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) @Lipko Wait, there is no [TC15] tag in the topic title! Does it mean, You will not enter to the contest? I hope this is not the case... Edited February 17, 2019 by agrof Quote

1gor Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Wether parts arrive on time or not, I would like to see your plane Mate. It is often seen in every day but to make it in LEGO it is more than desirable Quote
agrof Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Fair point, might be possible to ask for special permission though. Whatever, we are waiting for the final build, looks very promising! Edited February 18, 2019 by agrof Quote

So I will not ask for no special permission I will just focus on finishing the model. The chassis already looks pretty awesome in final colors Quote
