I think I recall running into this issue too but ended up finding the missing piece in another bag. Have you tried finishing the rest of the set to see if it may pop up in one of the other bags?

[REVIEW] 42083 - Bugatti Chiron
atomic80 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah if you try unzipping the 4.2 gb file, only .99 GB actually ends up intact. Some folders and their images are intact while others are corrupted. Like the photos from the Molsheim factory... thanks again Jim! -
[REVIEW] 42083 - Bugatti Chiron
atomic80 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Jim, thanks for an amazing review! I also appreciated the links to the downloadable media files but however the one from Bugatti seems to be corrupted. Many of the image files are corrupted. Do you mind reuploading them? -
I bought two but never got around to making the attempt. :(

One of my favorite movies is Guardians of the Galaxy. I still remember sitting in the theater in total awe of the ship that Peter was flying, the Milano. I knew that if LEGO ever came out with a set that I HAD to get one! And then..there was more...and more...and then Tyler Clites revealed the UCS sized version. OMG....now that's a build. So, when LEGO came out with set 76081 after the release of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, I got one...enjoyed the build. I hadn't realized that they came out with a larger build for the original movie, set 76021 which for some weird reason has bright orange accents instead of orange. I also picked up the mini Milano too. After that, I found the instructions for the UCS by Tyler Clites. I decided to go for it and shortly after that, I found the micro sized version also by Tyler Clites. I decided to replace the bright orange pieces on set 76021 with the proper orange accents as well as modify the windshield to match the others. And so, this is the result of my madness! The only thing was that I wasn't able to put the lime green "accent" piece on the micro version because it wouldn't fit without making contact with the other "claw" pieces. Any suggestions on what to do there?

About $200 for all the parts.
-
Yes, you can definitely buy Tyler's instructions from here: https://buildbetterbricks.com/collections/frontpage/products/custom-lego-ucs-guardians-of-the-galaxy-milano-instructions One thing though..it was kinda tricky finding all the parts since the parts list that they sell isn't too clear. Let me know if you have issues and I'll try to help.

I thought about buying them on bricklink but I can't tell if those are Version 1 or Version 2. Anyone know? -

[REPORT] Porsche Contest Trip to Stuttgart
atomic80 replied to Tamas Juhasz's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm absolutely speechless. You really did an incredible job building the 962 and going on this trip! The 962 looks spectacular next to the GT3 RS. -
I absolutely LOVE it..my mind is completely blown to bits and pieces. I had done the same with the Parisan Cafe reversing the two halves but I didn't go as far as you did in combining the interior. Seeing all these pictures really has given me some inspiration and ideas. I hope to one day follow your example! Thank you for sharing these pictures and well done in taking on this project!
-
After working on this on and off for 3 days, I finally managed to finish mine and this is without running into any missing pieces. Seems strange that so many of you folks are missing pieces. I also am looking forward to seeing the XL version of this set. It's already fairly massive as is...the XL version would be on another level altogether!
-
Of course.

In the USA..sorry I had that in the original post but that part disappeared when it was merged into this thread. -
Technic 2017 Set Discussion
atomic80 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was all ready to buy the new 2017 Technic sets, 42066 Air Race Jet, 42064 Ocean Explorer and 42063 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure on January 1st when they were supposed to be available and then I found out that they're not available here yet. I looked at the UK site and it looks like they're available there. :( Does anyone know what happened to these sets and if they're going to come here? If so, when? I really want those sets! -
I did manage to get one yesterday and also just went back to my local LEGO store and now they're all out of the Assembly Square too but they did have one on display. First time seeing it in the flesh and wow...I have to say it's impressive looking!
-
-
That is really impressive work that he did....really is pretty faithful to the real deal.
-
I'm sorry to say that it's probably not likely that you'll be able to find this set brand new cheaper than that. Not during the holidays especially. Maybe afterwards. ;)
-
Where do you see those prices? Just wondering...
-
Did you ever finish this MOC? Would still love to get the LDD file from you if possible.
-
Wow....geez....I have two of these Disney castle sets but buying a 3rd probably is out of the question for me at the moment. I'm hoping to get the new Death Star set sometime soon. Maybe someday if someone figures out how to make a complete MOC and it does in fact needs 3 sets then I'll reconsider. I have the 3x sets of lights from brickstuff.com to light up my modulars...that's my next project. The Eiffel Tower, Ferris Wheel and Carousel is definitely on the list of things to do...the issue however with the carousel and ferris wheel is the rotating parts. The wires would get all wound up but the rep from Brickstuff tells me that they have a "rotating" contact point so that solves that issue. We'll see...
-
Thank you! I thought so too but I can't take credit for this idea. mgoblue1997 and probably others before have done the same but he was the one who helped me find the right parts to make this lighting project possible. The lower section is pink and the upper sections are blue. They're actually adjustable to whatever color you set them to. You'll need one of this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040FJ27S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and you'll need these connectors to connect the LED strips once you've cut them to size: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00977FHG4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you BrickOCD again for the tips...I made some modifications to mine. I used a white 1x6 tile instead of brown and grey 1x3's on the sides so it blends in better. I also added LED lights and I must say that's probably the single BEST modification for this set EVER! LEGO Disney Castle by Jason Tang, on Flickr Minnie Mouse fits MUCH better now..I also added two black 1x1 plate pieces under Mickey's feet so he's taller than Minnie.
