    Yes, there are dozens upon dozens of LEGO models of the Sherp ATV. I’ve only decided to build my own because I had this idea about how a suspension could be added to it (yes, the real Sherp has suspension according to the manufacturer) and I just had to try it out. The result is a dead simple vehicle that can go 7 KPH on flat terrain and literally rips through snow: Photos & reading: http://sariel.pl/2019/01/sherp-atv/

    I wish, but I don't have any budget for it.

    I doubt that. The freshest news on the website you've liked come from late 2017.

    As you can see, this thread is close to 2 years old. So it's quite probable that the project has been abandoned since then.

    Apologies for refreshing this thread, but I've just discovered that RC models of the Maus tank were actually built even before the real thing was ;)

    You don't need any additional software to see a 3D review. Just the regular YouTube app. I know, I've done a bunch of them.

    For the record, I managed to fit the stretcher through the rear door. It's doable provided you remove the stretcher's harness and fiddle around with closing the doors a little. I think the smooth floor inside the fuselage shows that the stretcher is supposed to go in there.

    It's appears to be a V1 receiver. There is only one motor per output here, not two like in the Crawler.

    Every year LEGO gives an unique set to its employees, a set that's not being sold in stores. This year they were kind enough to send one to all of the LEGO Ambassadors, too. I though I should share it with you. Merry Christmas!

    The 42065 VS 42095 duel isn't as obvious as it might seem:

    I think the essential problem here is the use of Technic pieces at this scale. If this set used mostly System pieces for the body, it would look closer to the real thing and more detailed, simply because System pieces can go below 1 stud in size. But since LEGO chose to use Technic pieces only, the result looks crude because they're simply too large to allow much detail and accuracy at this scale. Also, I agree it doesn't look bad, but I think this is largely due to the nice color combo (orange + black works every time). If this car's body color was mixed, say blue and yellow, I think it would look worse.

    The Corvette review is here, also added it to the first post. I'm afraid that Jim is a much kinder man than I am :) 42093: Corvette ZR1

    Yeah, it looks like they had a false start.

    Has anyone ordered these LEDs and actually got them? I'm not sure if the fact they show at shop.lego.com means they actually have them ready for sale ;)

    It seems like individual LEGO Powered Up and Boost elements are going to become available for sale via shop.lego.com as separate products shortly. I was sent a sample page consisting of: - 88006: LEGO Boost hub - 88007: LEGO Boost color/proximity sensor - 88008: LEGO Boost interactive motor - 88009: LEGO Powered Up hub - 88010: LEGO Powered Up remote - 88011: LEGO Powered Up train motor A short overview and a few impressions:

    Like I said in the post before yours, only one side of the cable glows, and very faintly when seen from a side. Another solution you may want to explore are LED tubes used in RC car tuning (see below). I have a couple of blue ones. Pros: very bright, even glow over the entire surface, strongly colored (blue is blue, not bluish white). Cons: the tubes are large, thick, and not very flexible. I think you can only bend them a dozen degrees or so without damage, and they're pretty short in terms of length-to-width ratio.

    Nothing lost here, I have this element, and looking at it right not, the glow in the fiber is very faint when seen from the side. Also, it gets fainter very quickly further from this element.
