[MOC] Zastava 101
Legoism replied to Chapachuk's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
A true classic, what a masterpiece. And a bit of nostalgia too, I have traveled thousands of miles on 101's back seats. -

Great stuff, love how easily interchangeable the "levels" are! -
NXT-assisted Embroidery Machine
Legoism posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Not at all pure LEGO, but after a while I gave up trying to emulate a real sewing machine mechanism, and just went "embellishing" a real machine. Therefore, this is more of an "NXT-assisted" embroidery, than a pure solution. It's still a rather rough prototype, but it has proven the concept as worth the R&D. The X-Y fabric movements are simple - I've had much more trouble motorizing the handwheel (absolutely no grip, and occasionally huge torque required). Needle movements are imported from a program EmbroiderModder. Finally, some embroidered Classic Space, Technic and NXT logos for my bags and blank baseball caps :). A bit of extra text is here, and a YouTube video . Result that came out of the prototype after about 30 minutes of work... (the rusty old look is intentional - it can be avoided by using top and bottom threads of identical colours, rather than white & brown).- 4 replies

Technic in Design Limbo?
Legoism replied to allanp's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
At risk of enraging many, I don't see plenty of need for new parts (apart from occasional PF additions, wheels, or variations of LA's, pneumatics, telescopic joints, etc.). Basic structural Technic parts are currently sufficient for almost anything, as evident from official sets and many insanely great MOC's (and new coming up all the time ). Whereas, expanding the palette into other, over-specialized parts somehow defeats the idea of Technic ― at least for me. If a mechanism can't possibly be built on a reasonable scale with existing parts, the be it, rather than introducing new dedicated parts that are difficult to use beyond their one main purpose. E.g. portal hubs were a slight disappointment for me in that respect. -
2014 Fox 8x8x8
Legoism replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
8 XL motors - that sums up to 4.4 A electric current, almost 18 W of mechanical power, and over 1 Nm torque. Wow! -
Ferrari Enzo
Legoism replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Masterful. I'd hardly believe so many functions could fit underneath that bodywork. Love the detail of using a yellow half-pin on the sides behind the front wheels, where the Ferraris have a "shield" logo. -
Which set brought you out of your 'dark' age?
Legoism replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Mindstorms 2.0, which I bought few years ago to set up a simple automatic photography robot. A few months later, having bought a 8053 crane for curiosity, to see what is like to work with studless Technic, Dark Ages were safely behind. -

Old Shames: Your worst MOCs.

Undoubtedly, this mis-proportioned, undriveable, dysfunctional, ugly excuse for a sport convertible. Great thread, by the way! :) -
REVIEW: The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builders Guide by Sariel
Legoism replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I understand the point, but tend to agree with Sariel. This great book (which rests under my elbow stuffed with bookmarks as I'm writing this), can attract many more new fans and readers by focusing on the state of Technic today, here, now. Anyway, I find that many of the concepts Sariel introduces are just as applicable within classic Technic. Let's not forget that most of us around this forum are, by definition, deeply enough interested in Technic that using, say, a 6216 or 2838 or a micromotor seems commonplace, and naturally have increased appetite for classic Technic stuff with which most have grown up with, but we're actually (relatively speaking) a small audience. Too small, I suppose, for an epic ultra-super-extra-mega classic Technic 1000+ page encyclopedia, regardless of how nice it would be to have one. (Technic for teh win) -

Wow, its design is excellent. Can hardly notice differences to the real machine. Great stuff!
