    Don't  be too surprised if they work very fast, they are one of us, i mean, a member of this forum, a member of Rebrickable etc., they know where to look for a place which give them a good business... hats off for CaDa bcoz they respect MoC designer!

    My thoughts exactly, that car/toy fair looks like Eurobricks/Rebrickable show room. I know how you must feel, some of mine are also on amazon and aliexpress, people contacting me all the time if I saw my MOCs on webshops - I decided to care as little as possible - resistance is futile. Dark side wins... 


  2. Yet again, buying just the new parts (yellow treads and some panels) from Bricklink will perfectly satisfy my interests and needs. Maybe, not sure yet, but maybe it looks just a little bit better than the 8275. The Liebherr from @eric trax outshines it like the seven suns. One must be mad to buy this for such a high price - definetly better to buy another Liebherr and eric's instructions for the dozer. From what could be seen so far, the Mercedes wins as flagship if you ask me...those new tires alone win against the CAT.

     


  3. I can't say for sure, depends on the timing really, and inspiration of course. Anyway, if this contest takes place, there should be no restrictions regarding parts usage (except that they are genuine LEGO) in order to attract as many builders as possible. Size limits also wouldn't be good I think. Definetly one module rule - as one module - one motor, or two at the most, but that is already out of GBC canon I guess...


  4. Indeed, I feel very Olympic today and I am realy honored and proud to make it to the podium again! Seems that 3rd time really is a charm - my third contest after a long time and third badge (... he bragged :blush:). I hope I don't get banned  :grin:  A huge THANK YOU, to all who voted for me and to @Jim & @Milan for setting the whole thing up! Congratulations to @steph77 & @HorcikDesigns - they were my favourites as well! Great contest overall with many great models and ingenious solutions.

    @MajklSpajkl is probably the first member to win all three different medals.

    Well, you've got that one wrong @Jim :wink: There is at least one that I know off, that owned the rainbow before me - @Doc_Brown - and I believe he was the first with the whole bunch. Unfortunately, this great builder has somehow vanished from the EB forum and haven't visited here for more than 4 years now. I wonder what happened to him. Maybe we hear from him again someday.

    Best regards to all and thanks again!

    Hi,

    I just noticed the clever use of parts in the front wheel area.

    I like the way you fixed the break calliper to the fork.

    And this ID plate :wub:...

    S.

    I didn't even notice the license plate. I keep finding little details in this bike that I love.

    Thank you guys :blush:

    Meanwhile... another terrible problem has arrisen in the galaxy. The Dark Lord cannot choose which bike to ride...:vader:

    20201224_001705_1024px.jpg

    I borrowed the black baloon parts (as I did the red) from my kids, and managed to put together a black version too, although I don't have enough black bionicle teeth and no suitable cylinder for the headlight, so I used LBG one, but I'd rather not show it, cause it looks ugly. However, I do like the rear mudguard made with those axle connectors instead of bionicle teeth. And I do like that gray palm trunk parts for the foot rest so much more than just that old connector on the red one, but unfortunately they don't come in black (haven't checked to be honest). Overall, the red still speaks to me more, than the black, which looks a bit dull. Surely, it would be better with some chromed parts and fueltank stickers...

    Best regards.

    Wow, looks really good. I like the chunky-bulky-curvy lines that you managed to achieve, and the badass posture of the whole bike (the intense amount of red #3 connectors help this feeling a lot, and the stickeron fuel tank too :D). Maybe the neck between the steering axis and fuel tank it too long, but it is just a matter of taste. 

     

    Thanks. You have a good point on the neck. Now that that I look at it, I don't really know why I haven't tried to make a smaller gap, one stud less would be achieved easily and it wouldn't be in the way of steering. Huh, he usual case of wanting to redecorate two days after moving in a new house I guess. :wink: But it is what it is now. It is not too bad, but could indeed look even better.

    Hi!

    What an agressive look!

    A first sight, built in black, this bike could be seen ina mad max production :classic:

    ...And i really like this state of mind.

    One only things hurts me, it is the choise of thes brand new technologically looking shock absorber. 

    I mean, this typic color is synonym of sportty bike.no?

    Why not a solution like #42036 B model ?

     

    This appart, the whole design is a real piece of art! so many details,...

    Thanks Steph, I hoped for your feedback to be honest. I don't know, that front fork on 42036B model looks quite rough, even bulky. Not the kind of look I was going for, and I really like those new schocks, even if they are a bit wobbly. I wouldn't say they are too sporty or modern. I would love to build it in black as well. I have most of the parts except the bionicle teeth in black I am short of. And not sure if a black seat would look good on all black bike...so a different colour would be needed. Maybe I'll give it a go with some modifications and perhaps a new fork ;-) ...but those maybes of mine usualy stay unfullfilled :blush: Thanks again.

    This turned out fantastic!:thumbup: Great shapes and all the functions are nicely embedded.

    But for me the best detail is that licence plate in the back: 'GO-TC-19', that is just brilliant:laugh:.

    I am glad you like it. The licence plate is a copy of actual plates for motorbikes in our area. GO is an abreviation for our region of Slovenia which is called GOriška and all the vehicles registered in our parts start with GO. Some people, who were willing to spent about 7 or 8 times the money of regular paltes make their own signs and as you can imagine the most know here is GO TO HELL :grin:, but I can't find it. Here are some other example:

    This last guy was a poor english speaker I guess... that GO IN HELL hurts my teeth...
