45 minutes ago, fred-eric said:If you just move the LAs without touching the gears, you can see one LA retracting while the other one deploy5 minutes ago, TeamThrifty said:The 60 degrees movement of the boom means one LA advances 60 degrees around the 20t - imagine keeping the 20t stationary and rotating the LA around its axis, its the same as moving the 20t and keeping the LA stationary. The other LA does the reverse, so from fully down to fully up, it introduces 120 degrees of offset between the 2 LA, and since its a 20t driving a 12t, its nearer 200 degrees.. though less than one turn on a LA isn't going to break anything, its not technically ideal
Not sure thats any clearer!
Ah, got it! Yes, you’re both right. But obviously 60 degrees isn’t something that can cause problems during play. Moreover, @fred-eric once the tower is assembled and all gears are in place, you won't be able to move LAs without involving gears. LAs can only be activated through gear movement, so I would disagree with @Jim about this being a flaw at all.

What an awesome review Jim! I love hove you managed to keep it simple and easy to read despite the size and complexity of the set. And, of course, comparison with the other sets looks amazing. Thank you!
However, could you please elaborate on this part?
On 7/31/2018 at 5:22 PM, Jim said:Since the two 20T Bevel Gear with Pinhole have been placed on opposite sides of the actuators, this results in them turning in a different direction when the boom is raised (or lowered). Basically, this means that when the boom is raised, one of the LA's extends, while the other retracts. If one of the 20T gears was placed the other way around, this problem would not occur. Of course, the turning direction of one of the axles feeding the LA should be reversed for this to work. Since the gears attached to the LA's only rotate a tiny fraction when raising the boom, it leads me to believe that this is a calculated flaw.
What is wrong with the drive? Why should axles feeding the LA be reversed? Why is it a flaw at all?
A 12-tooth double bevel gear takes its place right between 2 20-tooth double bevel gears and everything works just fine.

2 hours ago, Lasse D said:With the time given, I believe there is enough time for me to learn how to build a car 6 wide. I hope the competition will be like back in 2007(?) where we raced on the minigolf tracks and such :)
LEGO House has a couple of just perfect activities to put cars to the test! :)

Sounds cool. So, we build cars at home and bring them with us to Billund for 2018 BILLUND AUTO EXPO? ;)
How many cars are allowed per a builder? -

Oh yup! This is @Lazarev N.. I'll ask him to confirm his participation here :)

Please tell me it's not to late to sign up!
How about a small delegation from Mother Russia? :)

2) @VerSen

AAbsolutely massive and terrifying piece of LEGO Technic! Was a pleasure capturing it for you, @SilenWin!

That's my boy! Way to go! Can't help enjoying your progress on this Mack.
Bonnet is an eye-candy, but that fender is a huge trouble. Regular curved bricks is not a solution. Go in either for some unique combination of panels and tiles or simply try layers of regular plates.
Nice execution of XL-motor-tank, but watch out for scale issues. According to the pic you submitted the tank should be smaller and closer to the front wheels. Of course, it's up to you, but I love the standarts you're trying to keep up with.

Love the side view! As for the roof, rotating panels by 180 degrees will work well.
-
Great lighting, great minifigs' faces, a brilliant plot!
It's funny to see that 1x1 tile is red at the right side and light grey at the reverse one
-
Building fruits - that's really nice idea! Hope, something like a mosaic of banana space ship will be funny

Out of curiosity (and since this has been bumped already), could anyone who has the set confirm whether or not it has return-to-center steering?
Yeah, this car does have return-to-center steering. As dr_spock has written, this steering system doesn't work well on carpets because of thick and high pile.

The interior is just awesome! Tan and light gray colours combined with such cool decals make this creation one of the best hospitals i've ever seen! I'm a conformist!, you are really good at mocs based on "House, M.D." series.

Such a thrilling moc! Wow! Will you tell us in another diorama whether they managed to run away from bullets or not?

Hi everyone!
Here is my first MOC on Eurobricks - a starfighter built with nothing but pieces of tank form [7697]. I tried follow the style of Mars Mission sets. And I think I managed.

I don't consider light-blue tiles to be appropriate here. They are really out of tune with white, yellow and grey. However, the shape is awesome!

That's great! Stickers look cool both on the auto and on the transporter. Carry on!

This would be cool. Or it could be something more like a garage from the good old Town Plan..? It is a town, and this is 50's...
