Hmm, i think it is purple...or my monitor is not so good

[legomuppet9]

Technic 5x11 panels only come in these colours (from bricklink) White (1470) Light Bluish Gray (758) Black (3890) Red (149) Orange (1273) Yellow (3813) Green (2106) Dark Blue (168) Blue (606)

So I think its your monitor, also, doc has edited the picture slightly weirdly

[Doc_Brown]

yes my photography was off, and the pics were overexposed, hehe. For WIP I left them as they are, hehe.

Sorry. Your monitor is fine.

This thing is genius, wonderful job. Looks like it could be a set (so perfectly in the spirit of the competition).

Thank you very much! Out of all the mocs I have made this felt like the most likely to be a real set, hehe.

Heres a vid of it in action, and I will be updating the first post to include promo pic and updated pictures as well.

this is far superior than any mini official set ever made.... I take my hat off

[grum64]

Fantastic! Who'd have though you could incorporate so much playability in something 200 pieces or less and it look this good

This and all the other brilliant entries means this is turning out to be one heck of a completion

You will have my 4 points .

[barman]

Absolutely amazing. we have a WINNER!!!

[Doc_Brown]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the nice comments.

I counted the large turntable as 1 part is that correct? 2 parts only apply to the small turntable right.

Looking at the Inv of the logging truck it shows the small turntable in 2 parts and the large in 1.

Looks great Doc! Blue color is great!

That is what I would assume as well. One part for large turntable and two parts for small.

Sweet!

Parts list is done, that took a long time! I sure hope that's 200, nearly 3am now, gotta go to bed, haha.

Great model! Love the use of ropes and the video shows what the model can do very well.

Since it was late for you, I counted the parts on your image, it is 200 if the turntable counts as 1. If the turntable causes issues with the contest rules you could remove one of the 2x4 tiles? Easiest fix I reckon and it hardly affects the looks.

[Jim]

Very nice Doc! Although I didn't expect anything less

I noticed your pictures are bit purple. Especially the ones showing the model. Is it me or did you photoshop a bit too much? I would recommend detuning a bit so it reflects the actual blue more

[Omikron]

Camera sensor probably was affected by:

Since both video and photo do not represent actual color in same manner.

Very nice model, I reckon this one will be getting my vote. Playability looks spot on

[jantjeuh]

Oh man, it's going to be so hard to find a winner. So many great entries. Really one of the best contests I've seen on EB so far.

Thank you so much! Looks like the turntable is ok.

That's exactly what I thought too.

Thanks Jim, TBH I think my monitor is a bit off, but I will give it another try, still got to do the promo pic anyways.

Also my LED lights means I sliightly over expose and that seems to be washing out the blue, and correcting it I have gone over board a bit, showing purple.

[Doc_Brown]

LOL, skylight filter on the camera and shooting under LED lights doesn't work too well when your subject is the colour BLUE!

What do you guys think is this accurate blue for you? I don't trust my monitor any more, haha.

[OzBen]

That's more like it.

Looks blue on my iphone

As for the model

Garbage.....

Zero out of 10

:-P

Kidding, I know where my vote is going :-)

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

This build is amazingly good!!! :thumbup:

[Doc_Brown]

This build is amazingly good!!! :thumbup:

Thanks man! That's good to know. I guess I will have to rebuild and take new pics again then.

Doc_Brown, I assume that you are using either TFT LCD or perhaps a notebook?
