Great backdrop indeed. Well done @desert752!

Fair enough. I guess I just don't understand how colourful parts take away from the building experience. When I built in the late 80's and early 90's, part of the challenge was the amount of parts added in each step of the instructions but I'm not so sure the colour of parts made as much difference. I feel that the 42115 Sian will look better on display together with my 42056 GT3 RS compared to the 42083 Chiron just because both the Porsche and Lambo look to use less system pieces in the bodywork than the Chiron, making them more coherent in the visual design.

In a world where so many "adults" seem to have the attention span of a 11 year old, I'd say the age marking on the box is of little use. :)

I'm happy to see that there are other parts here in lime colour other than the large outer panels. Besides, how much of the more colourful pieces are visible on the finished model? I get more than enough parts in gray/dark gray/black in each other set I buy to satisfy my needs.

That there is "no way" seems a bit strong, even though it might be very unlikely. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 used a Haldex system as well as the Bugatti Veyron, but otherwise they mainly build systems for FWD based cars like you wrote.

Haldex is it's own company.

Suggestions for displaying larger technic sets?

I have a IKEA Bestå that doubles as LEGO display and TV bench. Glass doors are available but I have yet to mount them. 42054, 42078 (truck only) and 42081 are what is on display at the moment. Next build will probably be the 42043 Arocs. -
I'm just curious how you landed in the conclusion that "there's no point in creating a RHD Chiron" in LEGO just because the real car never came that way from the factory?
-
I like bronze on red.

I wonder what the Lambo would look like in bright light orange. Might be too close to 42056 porsche orange to be concidered, but still. I'm more interested in what colour and design the wheels will be in though.

42114 - 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler

Just create a new profile for it. Sure, this might not be worth it from a financial standpoint, but I see no other problem. -
The colour choice worries me as well. Also, I hope for chromed/silver wheels this time. I find black as on the 911 boring and the blue on the Chiron makes those wheels hard to use for any other model.
-
Any thoughts on this sets retirement? Will it be around till the end of this year? I noticed the 42070 was available for quite a long time before being discontinued.
-
IMO they should have wrapped up the show way earlier. Actually, they should have waited at least another 10 years before even starting working on it. Now I'm affraid A Song of Ice and Fire might never be finished.

If they are thought of as steel track links, I'd say gray makes sense.
