Very fair. It is always very helpful to read the comments about a model from an experienced builder like you :) -
[MOC] Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JK)
Superfield replied to Sheepo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
How do you like its functions? Based on others reviews I have a feeling that the mechanism may be too complicated to the point that it is not reliable or performant. -
[HELP] Which Technic Set Should I Buy?
Superfield replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I can get 42043 and 42054 for about the same price now. I like the functionalities of 42054 better but 42043 seems to have better value for parts. What would you think? -
[MOC] Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JK)
Superfield replied to Sheepo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think this is the same gearbox as the Mercedes Gullwing which is supposed to be more reliable. I am also curious about how reliable it is, the success rate. And how it performs when driving. The video doesn't seem to do the justice. -

Superfield replied to Sheepo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have mixed feelings about this MOC. I like the functions very much. However, it is a real pity that switching gears doesn't seem to make much noticeable difference when driving. That's even worse than the Land Rover Defender 110 which is much bigger. The BMW i8 is much better in that regard. Regardless, that is really understandable given that this is LEGO with LEGO PFs after all. Still a masterpiece. -

[GBC] The Akiyuki Project (2010 - 2020)
Superfield replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I just finished building the Invisible Lift. It is just awesome and impressed everyone who looked at it! At first the machine kept dropping balls at the first a few antennas. But once I follow the assembly video by TheRebricker to adjust the timing carefully (it is great that the machine is designed in a way that you don't have to take anything apart to adjust the timing), the machine works quite reliably. It still drops balls at a pretty low rate though. Another issue I noticed is the ball unloader. Over time, the connection will become loose and the claw is not tight enough to grab the balls. I had to tighten the connection once in a while. Is there anyone who managed to make the machine running for more than 10 minutes at 100% success rate? I also added return tracks at the back of the machine. I basically copied the design of the Cycloidal Drive. It was a bit harder than it seemed to get the angle right so that there's enough room for a second track, and the balls would not run too fast to dash out of the track. It has been a great fun building this machine. BIG THANKS to Blakbird and TheRebricker for the instructions!- 2981 replies

Genius! I really like the curves of the body especially the side views. It is sexy! And designed with panels instead of flex axles, wow!- 220 replies

That's what I thought :) I think I will certainly end up building more than just one module. Just following this thread itself is so addictive to me!- 2981 replies

[GBC] The Akiyuki Project (2010 - 2020)
Superfield replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I had the same question. I wanted to build a mini circuit with just one Akiyuki module. I thought I would definitely consider the Ball Factory first, and then probably the Invisible Lift (which should be easy to add a return to to complete a circuit). But after reviewing many posts I am a little hesitant now. You didn't recommend the Ball Factory, is it because it is too hard to get the timing right, too easy to break down, less interesting to you compared to the other two, or simply because the instruction is not ready yet? :)- 2981 replies

[GBC] The Akiyuki Project (2010 - 2020)
Superfield replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I already have most technic parts. I have very few system bricks. Here's how I divided the orders by Brickefficiency. First I removed all the technic parts. I will place a separate order if I still need some technic parts after sorting out my inventory. I also removed the buckets and the base plates. I will buy then separately. Then I changed all the yellow parts into black. That's just personal preference on the color scheme. I also changed some dark bluish gray parts into black since I found black ones are available in more stores. After the chances, I was able to find all parts in 3 stores for around $150.- 2981 replies

[MOC REVIEW] Akiyuki's Ball Factory
Superfield replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Did anyone who has built the ball factory try the 14mm beads from China? I guess they would be just fine as the most parts of this machine that need extreme precision are those that interact with the buckets. But I would love to hear from someone that actually tried it. -

@Blakbird, while waiting for you to publish the pdf instructions, I can't wait starting collecting parts for the Ball Factory. I am wondering if you are going to make any changes to the part list when the instruction is finalized.- 2981 replies

42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator
Superfield replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Is the track supposed to move the small parts from the buckets to the dump truck? If so, this really looks like a GBC set! -
[REVIEW] 42052 - Heavy Lift Helicopter
Superfield replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the great review, Jim! The quality of this set is surprisingly good. Without this set, the 2016 1H release would be a complete disappointment to me. Any idea on the US release time? Hope we won't get it several months later than the rest of the world again! -

Glad that you're upgrading the BMW. I love it very much but I do think there's room for improvement for its bodywork. Looking forward to the instructions! -

[MOC REVIEW] Nathanael Kuipers' Predator
Superfield replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I always tear down the big model I have to build the next. But I think I will keep this one for a long time. Simply the best model that I have built, among all official sets and MOCs.
