    Hi guys, I hope you don't mind if in order to keep things simple I will put my reviews in one thread rather than in 10 separate ones. I will edit the first post and add more videos to it as they are released. Here's the link for the entire playlist, starting with latest reviews: [CLICK] And the individual videos: 42066 Air Race Jet: 42065 RC Tracked Racer: 42064 Ocean Explorer: 42063 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure: 42062 Container Yard: 42062-B Container Straddle Carrier: 42061 Telehandler: 42060 Roadwork Crew: 42059 Stunt Truck: 42058 Stunt Bike: 42058/42059 Power Racer: 42057 Ultralight Helicopter:

    Ahem, the model's length is shown in the video and all dimensions are listed in the link right under the video.

    Not really. It's just a ring with black bars attached to it, rotating in front of a 4x4 cylinder that holds the LED tubes. Since the bars extend over the cylinder and partially obscure it, they create the pulsating effect as they rotate.

    I have a soft spot for the original TRON movie, seeing as it's exactly as old as I am ;) So it was my goal for a long time to build the iconic Light Cycle, and with the help of some custom lighting I finally have a working model: Photos & some reading: http://sariel.pl/2016/12/tron-light-cycle/

    It only seems proper to paste it here :)

    Spendid Tommy, I'm glad my Tiger found some use and welcome, finally, to the world of DBG tanks ;)

    Yes, once, and literally nobody liked it. YT closed captions look totally different on different devices, you have no real control over their appearance, and on smaller devices they can easily take half of the screen or more. Maybe you can ask Jang or someone else to review the classic sets, they seem to operate on a much bigger budget. Me, I can usually spend like $100 - $150 on Lego monthly.
  9. Sariel
    Precisely my reason against doing so. I've tried crowdfunding once, for a camera, and there were haters aplenty. Apparently the mere fact that I sometimes get free review copies of Lego sets is enough to hate my guts. I'm not sure about the logic here, maybe someone expects Lego sets to become cheaper if I don't get a copy every now and then ;)

    Thanks, I own about a half of these in the sense that they are all taken apart and the pieces are mixed with my other pieces. That makes reviewing them pretty hard as I no longer have boxes nor instructions and would need to find all the pieces somehow. The essential problem is that I lack the budget to buy these sets and the classic sets I've reviewed so far came nowhere close to covering the expenses with YouTube revenue. I've spent about $500 on 8868 and 5571, two really widely recognized sets, and the two resulting videos, which took a lot of work, have less than 70,000 views between them. So I'm losing money here, money I don't have, and borrowing sets from someone seems very challenging logistically. So for the time being, I can't see this happening.

    Hi guys. Below is my complete review of the 21306 set, followed by a speed build filmed in 360° where you can look around the table. Or just stare at a wall. Whatever floats your sub, erm, boat ;)
  12. Sariel
    Oh, I see.

    Um, but my book has a "flat" version too, not just the cubic one. And it's very similar to yours:

    Thanks, I've counted 22 including my very early and embarrassing attempts at tankness :) I assure you I'm still learning and there are still many things I'd like to try. Like a tank with interchangeable turrets, for instance.
  15. Sariel
    Also, remember that by Lego's logic any military machine, even one that blows up entire planets, is fine as long as you slap Star Wars logo on it ;)
  16. Sariel
    We all know that Lego dislikes tank models. By this logic, they should love tank destroyers, right? ;) Photos & reading: http://sariel.pl/2016/10/a39-tortoise/

    Nobody's interested in that. The hamsters' life, that's another story ;)

    M_longer was created in a lab, I'm afraid. Got it right on his first try.
  19. Sariel
    OK, A and D are right. It should be fairly easy now :)
  20. Sariel
    So far you got D right. But that was easy, Jang is the only guy with a ring on his finger :)
  21. Sariel
    Wrong and wrong :)

    There are no prizes in this contest, sorry, it's just a little silly idea I had ;) On this picture are frames from videos by JANGBricks, BrickBuilder, THE BRICK SHOW and, well, me. Can you tell who is who?
  23. Sariel
    Glad to see your videos getting better and better. Going pro now :)

    Fair enough, it's a matter of personal preferences, but that's exactly my point: a proper hardware will get you results that don't really need photoshopping. FYI with a dark background there are always little motes of dust here and there and they inevitably show on photo when the photo is taken from so close, so I clean the background up in Photoshop. And the vignette effect which I assume is what you don't like, looks much more subtle in full size:

    It's all about the hardware and learning how to use it. Photoshop can only take you so far.
