42172 McLaren P1 MODs and Improvements
therealjustin replied to jb70's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Agreed. If the leaks are real, then LEGO absolutely made the right decision. The P1 is miles better. -
42172 - McLaren P1
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I agree. The front is the weakest area in terms of looks and it does feel like it was rushed at the end just to get this set out. Everything rearward of the front wheels is excellent, so with a few modifications I think this could be a fantastic release. Hopefully someone in the community can work their magic and fix it! -
42172 - McLaren P1
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It has some issues as all official sets do, but overall I'm thoroughly impressed especially considering the design of the real car and the endless curves. The P1 seems like the most complete 1:8 supercar yet in terms of design and functions and the color choice is fantastic. -
2024 Technic Sets Discussion
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is definitely real, and I'm beyond excited for a P1 I don't see McLaren reusing a name for their next hypercar. The P1 was a monumental leap forward for the company and still influences their design language to this day. It's iconic. -
42177 Mercedes G500 4X4
therealjustin replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
If it's electric yellow I'm buying it day one! It definitely needs some type of portal axles and hopefully a new five-spoke rim design. -
[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic

I just discovered this incredible set while watching RacingBrick's recent video and my goodness @brunojj1 , you've captured the AMG ONE so beautifully! -
42160 Audi RS Q e-tron

Will these tires fit on the Ford Raptor? -
42154 - 2022 Ford GT
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Massive improvement. Nice job! -
42154 - 2022 Ford GT
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks much better lowered. Now, something needs to be done about those flying butresses. -
42154 - 2022 Ford GT
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah it looks nothing like the Ford GT. Still a nice looking set and model on the shelf, but not a GT. They should have done the classic GT40 as I feel the shape could have more easily been replicated. That, or make it a proper 1:10 scale car. -
42154 - 2022 Ford GT
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This would have been so much cooler in 1:10 scale. It looks nice, but it doesn't look like a Ford GT. -
[MOC] Lincoln Town Car 1990
therealjustin replied to syzygy87's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow, speechless! Nice work! It looks like a die-cast model! -
42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 Mods & Improvments
therealjustin replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That looks great! For such an expensive and adult-focused set, this is how it should look. The color vomit is atrocious. -
42130 - BMW M1000RR - MODs and Improvements
therealjustin replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That looks so sick! -
[MOC] Mclaren P1 (1:10)
therealjustin replied to Pvdb's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would gladly buy a masterpiece like this over anything LEGO releases, and I prefer 1:10 scale as well. The shaping is spot on, and it really does come across as a scale model. As someone with many spare red parts, if you ever did release instructions it would be an instant purchase from me. This is just superb! -
42130 - BMW M1000RR - MODs and Improvements
therealjustin replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes! Looks pretty good, I think. I know Sao Paolo Yellow is more yellowish, but Lime is the best we can do with the available parts. I don't even mind the all white livery either, but some color is always nice. -
42130 - BMW M1000RR - MODs and Improvements
therealjustin replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I noticed the price a few days ago and nearly spit out my drink. It's crazy, but this printed parts pack costs more than I paid for the set! I think I'll just go in Stud.io and play around with color schemes until I find one I like. A nice blend of the M colors. Also, BMW just released the 50th Anniversary Edition of the M 1000 RR in Sao Paolo yellow. I'm thinking LEGO lime green looks closest? Could be nice. -
42143 - Ferrari Daytona SP3
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The book situation is irritating to say the least and LEGO needs to do better. Immediately. Forget the whole numbered nonsense and make more. Making the accompanying book to such a popular set a limited release is a terrible idea, and it only promotes scalping. -
42143 - Ferrari Daytona SP3
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
After fighting for a year to buy a graphics card because of scalpers, I'm pretty sure the limited edition book was snatched up by them too. They have checkout bots that can order several at a time. -
42145 - Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My first thought as well. The set looks pretty nice actually, but a different livery would have made a big difference. Heck, just keep the red and white color scheme. -
42130 - BMW M1000RR - MODs and Improvements
therealjustin replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm still looking for solutions. I don't own the set yet, but I've been fiddling around with the digital version as I wait for a discount on the real thing. The front fairing seems to be about one stud too low as well. Not sure how to correct that yet. -
42143 - Ferrari Daytona SP3
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm feeling conflicted! I really like it, but it makes me appreciate(and want) the Lamborghini even more now. It costs less than this and has more features of interest. -

Photos are up! -
42143 - Ferrari Daytona SP3
therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very nice looking set. The more I see and learn about the Daytona SP3, the more I like it. -

therealjustin replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yuck. Not a fan of the SP3 at all. There are so many beautiful Ferrari models to choose from!
