I’m convinced there’s no pattern. The data set is too small and spread out. The best we can say is at some point before they’re released lol

@nibennett To be honest I think I'd prefer a brickbuilt shuttle since that would directly fit with the Saturn V we got

42096 isn’t a UCS like ‘83 and ‘56, so it falls into the same category as the BMW bike from last year, which did have a B-model. I reckon it’s likely they’d do one.

Very impressive

Oh were those printed? Didn't know that. Also, looking at a picture of the wheel arch, it seems to have some complex curvature going on so yeah @Ngoc Nguyen turns out they can't have stickers (spanning the whole piece anyway).

I don’t have one so I don’t know 100%, but I’m fairly certain it is since the 42056 had stickers on the arch too.

Looks awesome. Would love to see a video of how the mechanism works

Can’t be the only one wondering why they used LBG instead of DBG for the exterior

@Ngoc Nguyen Yeah i know what you’re talking about. I’m saying that as long as the entire panel/arch has only one axis of curvature, a sticker can be put on it.

@Ngoc Nguyen stickers can be applied to any piece that only has uniaxial curvature

It’s just a symptom of injection molding.

Yeah, fit them to size and just approximate where you think they should go. I don’t know the slightest about quality photo editing software unfortunately, but Paint can’t be too bad, especially since you’ll pretty much just be eyeballing it. I recommend downloading Paint.NET though, as that’s much more powerful than regular Paint. Nothing to worry about, it’s pretty much impossible to screw it up beyond repair.

@J_C It does though. It looks far more professional sitting on a desk than any other set because it looks like an art piece. Also, I’ve figured out why it looks like it’s flopping around - it’s a symptom of fixing the middle joint in place. As a result the fish can only rotate and so you can’t get the side-to-side sweeping motion of a real fish. I replicated it using a graphing tool, and no matter what I did, constraining the middle joint made the fish look like it was just flopping around. It’ll be worth trying to mod this set to allow the middle section to translate sideways as well as rotate.

@deraven Pretty much, this set isn’t targeted for the masses, it’s targeted at a specific group that’s too embarrassed to be part of the masses
