Balrog replied to Waler's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Very good. I really like it. This is an excellent re-creation of a studded model in studless.- 17 replies

Well, a download manager is either a separate program which you can use to download files or possibly a browser plugin, that can be used within the browser. Usually they provide a more stable download, allow to pause/resume downloads or even to retry/automatically retry a download. For example this Firefox Plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/downthemall/ Though, I am not sure if this is really a good one, but just a sample for what I meant.

Good review Blakbird, well done. The best part is the pic with the Arocs in the bed. This demonstrates the scale very good. This model is sure big and a very different scale than we are used. Even when taking Lucios Airport Crash Tender in comparison. Btw, can you make a comparison pic/render of these two? And, now that we got those big circle segments from the BWE, someone can build a excavator to the scale of this truck

42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator
Balrog replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes, that is the biggest problem I currently see and I am really curious for the solutions that will be presented. I imagine mechanisms similar to 8043, but beefed up significantly to provide the rotating axles. -
42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator
Balrog replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I wonder, did anybody think of the possibilities for the new round gear sections? I mean it's basically a huge turntable. This will allow a lot of possibilities, like bigger and more stable turret constructions. Also, I am really curious how many motorized functions can be routed through it. I know this will require some seriously complex mechanics, but that will also provide us with very interesting mechanisms. -
[MOC] Avtoros Shaman 8x8
Balrog replied to Madoca 1977's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just wow. One more vehicle that goes on the build list! Very well done! I am really curious to see the steering mode switch in action. This will be very interesting. -
[MOC] Telehandler
Balrog replied to Lipko's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well done Lipko. Your creations get better and better. Great functionality in this telehandler. I especially like how you make the play features accessible via the switches behind the cabin. -
EV3 Brick Dead
Balrog replied to JGW3000's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It would be strange if the battery actually affects the tactile responsiveness of a button. I guess that the button just broke. TLG customer service will probably just replace the unit or repair it. I bet, if you press really hard, it might come back to life at the cost of more damage to the button and/or casing.- 3 replies

Wow, well done. This is really an awesome tribute to 8880. Congratulations on re-making the original shape and functions and even include new features. Greatest thing for me is the adjustable ride height. The mechanism is so easy, but brilliant. As others said, I like the original color scheme best and I think the forms and angles, though slightly changed at times, are easily recognizable. The first pic I saw, I was a little sceptic, but the video got me turned around completely. I'd really like to build this one for myself. The only point I have to criticize is the scale. For a tribute, I would have thought it to be the same scale, but it's a little smaller. If this were scaled up to the original, it would be perfect all around.

[MOC] 1963 Corvette C2 Stingray
Balrog replied to JamesJT's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Awesome build. Well done. It is instantly recognizable. I especially like the way you used the panels. Funny thing: as a kid I had a small metal cast version of this car. It was one of my favorites. Somehow I now want to built it myself ;)- 63 replies

It's a human-disassembler! -

Sorry, I thought mentioning August was enough hint to point towards other sellers ;-) -

Do you honestly think that Amazon will not put this out lower than MSRP? -

Thanks guys, right now I am considering cancelling my order and waiting until August and get it cheaper. -
[REVIEW] 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Balrog replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Awesome review Jim. Very good photography as always and well written. To think you got the set on a relatively short notice Too bad the set has some more or less obvious flaws. I'll still get it anyway, though the price really is a bummer.. Also, I think the set is a very good parts pack and I hope people will still get it and come up with fantastic B-models. I guess it's up to the community now to make the set a little more worthy. -

42056 - Porsche Speculation
Balrog replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I had the german shop page tell me the "coming soon" all day. I don't think that's a real indicator. And if memory serves me well, it has been like that before, too. -

Perhaps they are just fed up with people asking if it will be released on time. -

Just a thought: Why doesn't anybody complain about the steering lock in the Xerion? -

The only bad opinion that I grant to be valid is about the Autobild video!
