This is modelled after the DeHavilland Dash 8 right? Just looking at possible b-model mocs, this set could maybe be turned into a DeHavilland DHC-515.

Like this maybe? I coloured the discs orange to help visibility. https://www.mediafire.com/file/irkkyj5gb749sh2/conveyor01.io/file

Could you use large tracks at 90 degrees and with pins hold up a circular platform in intervals. You can place a disc half a length under the top ones to create a chain without large holes. I'll see if I can whip up an image in studio in a moment.

@thequeenjoI built a minuteman repo mechanism that is an add-on to a pick up bed such as the Ford Raptor. The mechanism can be planted on a structure such as DTU. It's on eurobricks and rebrickable just a simple free moc so maybe it can give you something to work with. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/193020-minuteman-wheel-lift-repo-truck-mod/

A bit off the technic topic but still relevant is Lego Serious Play. I am a high school teacher and have been in school administration before. There I have run some small workshops for parents andstaff using LSP and it is a really fun and effective method of learning. If any of you are looking for ways to incorporate Lego into your day jobs I highly recommend checking out LSP.

Virtual pivot steering was new for me. Also how much difference it makes to upsize car tires on performance, both positive and negative. I'm also constantly reminded when creating structures that 1) nearly everything is possible to achieve with bricks and 2) that when things get really complicated there probably is an elegant and simple alternative within reach.

Thanks @JunkstyleGio! I don't post often and had some issues with the images so thanks for helping out! To install the lift its best to take the back door off. @ukbajadave yes I changed the panels to white, which I prefer (don't have any dark blue!). Also made a bunch of other addons like bullbar and canopy. Once my trailer, winch, and overland rig are done I'd like to put a little video online with all the features. TLG actually made a nice base model to work with, but they just messed up the tires, lights, and rear wheel drive. 😂

Here's a wheel lift to convert your pickup into a repo car: https://ibb.co/kBQSZJ2[/IMG] This lift fits in a 42126 F150 Raptor, but with a little fitting it should go in any similar sized truck. Here's the IO file showing the folded and unfolded position: https://www.mediafire.com/file/f2scexq49ydpnvl/Raptor_Minuteman.io/file https://ibb.co/nrGzJHD https://ibb.co/fnMvg0j https://ibb.co/Mgvq4wj https://ibb.co/3BhfXbd https://ibb.co/HXwHxy0 https://ibb.co/prSNJLQ https://ibb.co/x6fjVKC https://ibb.co/9n3Dvj1 https://ibb.co/fDDHbgj

The coaxial rotor system isn't licensed anyway. As for this H175 I hope the rotor top structure can be lowered by two beams. that would make it look like an H175. Also think that bottom nose window can be brickmade instead of a sticker.

There's a catapult moc out there somewhere with instructions. it's quite good. maybe some kind of amusement park ride would be an idea for this project as well.

Can these pieces be useful in a small functional rotor swashplate? https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-front-wheel-bearing-with-two-knuckles-11949 https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-wheel-hub-46490

I got a McLaren Elva speed champions set the other day, and I wanted to make it more interesting by adding steering. Turns out this thread exists, so I want to show you my latest update. So this is the rear, in my opinion the best looking part of the set: It's an 8-stud wide chassis, and the wheel arches are as tight as a colorful metaphor. So here's the front I got so far, though I've got ideas to improve the look of the wheel arches by using the little 2x2 wing plates. Obviously it won't look like an Elva anymore, but it's got a little muscle car shape to it: Here's the bottom: The steering radius is quite good: The 6x1 flat liftarm turns 10 degrees One issue here is that I needed a part that Lego does not have (I think) but Cada does: So, I don't have a solution yet for getting the same kind of compactness without using this part. In my Studio model I've used another part in it's place that shows the movement of the wheels. The next problem is that the HoG cog turns the wrong way, and it's right where I want to put a windshield. So I've designed a solution to fix both issues. This file compares two versions, and shows the degree of movement of the wheels. https://www.mediafire.com/file/el5w0t81els0lmz/system_steering_1.io/file Here is the file with only the one chassis design: https://www.mediafire.com/file/a9s4zdfj3iyvkri/system_steering_2.io/file I'll try to get some kind of muscle car done in the next few weeks or so.

Perhaps a larger prop cargo plane for fire services, although the water plane idea has been done with 42040. Otherwise maybe a detailed ambulance chopper, though 2000 pieces would make it very detailed. Could it be possible that it'll be a SA-2 Samson from Avatar for which would be the licencing? There's rumours of avatar sets coming out for system, so if they'd make a technic set, who knows? Although it's a military plane, TLG has also gone all in with Star Wars, so maybe fictional war stuff is allowed?

Slightly related, here's a paint job of 9396 A-model with the colours that I had lying around:

Although not fictional Mi-26! @Ngoc Nguyen Fictional: the Helo used in The 6th Day (Schwarzenegger movie) http://fireballtim.com/2015/02/20/new-flying-the-future-the-6th-day/ Ornithopter would be epic btw Btw that vehicle is called a Whispercraft and apparently Kamov has a design similar to it in the K-90: http://aviator.guru/blog/43154141636/K-90---vertolet-buduschego
