On the UK Lego website you can now per order it for release in October why is this getting massive pre-order time when the models fro august not even listed??

https://www.brickbanter.com/post/flexible-parts-bricklink-studio-tutorial
Stud.io doesn't have pneumatic tubes as a part and they are not part of the flex system. (If they built stud.io around the harder Technic parts they would be saving themselves a lot of grief in the future bat that's a different rant.)
The flexible hoses are for the smaller hard tubes so the diameter is smaller.
when I was making my version of the 8868 i used LDCad for the tubes and then import them into Stud.io via the part designer tool.
I used Thus Guide to create the tubes. Its quite a time consuming process and even importing the parts has a trick to it to get them to have the right orientation.
-
So i Have the functions added even though this is for the competition and I can probably make more for show than function I still find myself trying to make the model stronger still unsatisfied with the amount of flex where the switches connect.

I'm no expert on air tanks but I would assume if it was an air tank it would be cylindrical for uniform pressure within the vessel? and comparing it to the old tank that wouldn't have much volume which would create more pressure than storage?
In general I don't think we will see another air tank as with out a pressure regulator I have been rebuilding the 8462 and I found that while the air tank does store more air to use the functions the first few uses after its at pressure are so fast that its hard to control.

I own the original so was going to use those as this if for the completion. However, normally i try to build these with parts that a current or highly available but I don't think there is anything close the only other silver rims I can think of are the 8448 super street but there just as old.

27 minutes ago, BrickBuildingFox said:Cool, I am happy to see this model enter the contest. Really wanted to get it as a kid, but never did... It was on my list too, but I have neither pneumatic parts nor many blue parts in my collection, so I choose a different one.
Think I'm also missing some of the blue lift arms myself so may have to go shopping

1 minute ago, Bartybum said:They're talking about the one in the front, not the rear
Ah Sorry, yes I know that's a frame. I was using to illustrate that's what a frame should look like. I think the rear section has 2 alternating beams the gears being used as functions throw too much shadow to be 100%
-
14 minutes ago, Rebel_Lego said:Maybe it's not an alternating beam but a 5x7 frame in black
Its not a frame if you look at the brick link image it is smooth around the sides and that pattern can only be seen on the top and as its flush with the orange panel it cant be a frame.
-
I think we are getting new alternating beams
The front square is how a frame looks side on when horizontal for the rear image to be a frame it must be vertical but you can see that its not. so probably an 11 and a 9 looking at the space and where its round at the end.
-
So have been building the structure and crane trying to recreate the style using Technic over bricks
Think the turquoise parts will have to remain as that colour has not returned to stud-less Technic.

1 minute ago, allanp said:I am doubtful. Unbrickme in a video said he saw a wire in it but he pointed to a pin hole on one of the seats. Would be nice but I don't see PU advertised anywhere. But I am interested to know what the grey box in the fuel tank is. Could it be an air tank?
Yes probably wishful thinking or maybe like the Volvo 42053 they will included a compressor so you can motorise yourself. seems to be plenty of space to put one in.
-
As I cant see a manual pneumatic pump and its called power tow on the 42128 I think it might have a compressor which possibly means the new dumb battery box may be in it finger crossed.
-
Seeing as my 8868 Air Claw cant be entered I'm going for the next one the often overlooked 8462 now having rebuilt it there are a lot of cool little features i never noticed when I first got it. Like the auto centring tailgate.
I'll post some progress pics in a bit (supposed to be at work now
My plan is to try and keep i as good a match as possible to the original so sticking with the even width winch is making the turntable a bit of a challenge.
-
I think I have an Idea which one I'll have a go at as it just needs to be stud-less not my normal make it with only the latest parts so that might make it a bit simpler as I can reuse some of the original parts that are stud-less.
As were not allowed CG entries needs to be one I have the colours for as I don't enough yellow to have a go at 8862.
but I'm super slow so i hope that 2 months will be enough time for me.
-
Gah just seen this and I have nothing to show
as I have been making other models and not a redux atm
And this can't be entered as I have posted it on the forums before.

1 hour ago, SNIPE said:I do :).
Can I ask what the reasoning is behind the sideways paddle shfiter?
A few.
Mainly for the knob wheels to line up with the gear selector you need 3 or 5 and I was having to many friction and space problems to make it fit, this works in the space and function won over form. -
I have finished my instructions to add a gearbox D-N-R selector and sequential shifter I have also changed the ride height.
You can get them here for free.
Hope you like it.
-
Have uploaded the instructions to rebirckable Air-Claw
It now has 328 steps up from the original 32 so maybe not as brutal to build as the original
Hope you enjoy the build. I had some fun with the instructions as stud.io doesn't seem to like pneumatics too much but if there are errors please let me know.

13 hours ago, SNIPE said:Thank god someone has added a gearbox, flappy paddles and a DNR shifter.
I was going to add @Anto's 6 speed+N+R gearbox and paddles (so no DNR shifter) like the real car but I might just leave it since there's this and I have a load of MOCs and one set to finish building and to MOD some of them.
Can you give me a link to that gearbox? I have not seen that one and I'm trying to improve my understanding of Lego gear boxes thanks.
Also there is a reverse selector in the centre on the 488 GTB wich is what I'll mod this into.
-
Disaster just noticed the crank shaft is hitting one of the gears and is catching i think i can move the engine up half a stud to fix it and it should still fit in the engine bay
-
A quick and bad photo of the chassis with a 4speed gearbox sequential shifter and DNR selector.
A few compromises have to be made to get it all to fit i modified the transmission from the Land Rover (i'm no good at gearbox ratios
) but i think it works.
I have not had to change to much so with a bit of tweaking (see the air intake) it should still fit with the original body work but i also plan to do a custom body GTB as I'm no sticker fan. Also so it fits with my Enzo and 599 GTB
The area around the DNR still needs work but I'll build up to the dash board and see if i can blend it in better.
I have also tried to change the ride height but I'll see what that's like when i add the body work.

Probably not a video I only have a phone and no tripod so I cant demonstrate the functions and record art the same time but I may think about it.
I don't have any other turquoise parts and I'm not sure there are any equivalent parts to do a modern version but they are stud less. Also if you insist on all modern parts then the wheels and air tanks can't be used.
