Haha! I totally misread that double answer. Good challenge, and congrats Mr. Crab.

You must have the feeling that the victory is earned - not just given to you :D Edit. If my calculations are correct and Holodoc gives points for all answers, then we should be neck-to-neck. It then comes down to 3 pointers, where you have a slight advantage (9 to 0, or something like that).

There are two connections: anti stud and outer ring stud grip (you can place it between 4 studs on a 2x2 plate), so that can't be the right answer. The piece only fits in one minifig hand at a time The top part of the piece is only a single (1) point The piece in this color only comes in 1 Promotional set: 40181 The piece in this color only came in 1 Friends set in 2014: 41035 The piece in this color only came in 1 Jurassic World set: 75919 The piece in this color only came in 1 modular building in 2015: 10246 The piece in this color only came in 1 modular building in 2016: 10251 The piece in this color only came in 1 Star Wars set in 2016: 75158 The piece in this color only came in 1 regular (not value pack) Friends set in 2016: 41119 The piece in this color only came in 1 value pack: 66539 The piece in this color only came in 1 modular building in 2017: 10246 The piece in this color only came in 1 non-modular set in 2017: 40174 There is only 1 piece :) Edit. I need more answers! There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 40174 There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 41119 There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 76038 There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 41035 There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 40181 There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 66539 There is only one of this piece in this color in the set 5004552 OK. I'm out.

Well. I will be in meetings between now and this afternoon, and since she is away, it seems like you can just phone it in.

- There are 2 FDA approved ways for a minifig to serve, eat and hold this edible part: Using left hand and using right hand. - This is always part of a 2 part assembly: bun + sausage. - Since it came out there have only been 2 types of LEGO figures that have held this item: minifig and minidoll (This friends type minifig). - There are 2 sides of this part when wrapping around a sausage. - It is available in 2 conditions: new and used. - It is made using a 2 component mold (upper and lower section - see the molding line on the side)
-
Nice find. My limitation came from the hands all turning the same way, which is why I couldn't fit the gold one... that and incompetence.
-
In my 8436 it came in old gray, so technically there are 4 colours (gray, new gray, black and trans). - The part number is 32333 is dominated by the number "3".
-
- There are 3 types of connections: stud, antistud and technic pin holes. - Cylinder pieces can be mounted in 3 angles: straight (using top or bottom row), leaning left and leaning right using the standard side tilted rows.
-
Thanks. You can actually see the notches in your pic. The circle of minifig is easy to do, while I personally can't make 5 stand in the same circle and all hold the part.
-
There are 4 notches inside of the pin hole of this part, which allows it to grip onto a pin without making it impossible for children to separate the parts again. 4 minifigs can stand in a circle, all holding the part as shown in the picture. There are 4 standard connections: Stud (above), antistud (below), pin hole and clip (the last connection type is shown in the picture).

It is not clear, but if the chain is old dark gray in that picture, then it is in LDraw color #8.

Sorry.

The Homer minifig appears in 9 sets (according to BrickLink): 71006 71016 71005 71202 71009 6059283 6100812 colsim2-1 colsim-1
-
There is a "9" over the right ear of the Homer minifig. Or so you might think. It is actually a "G" - whereas the left side has an "M". They are the initials of the creator Matt Groening.

These are my 1:20 scale models of the Ferrari 488 GTE EVO race cars as they appeared at Le Mans in 2018. Ferrari was racing with 3 entries that year. Apart from the standard #51 and #71 cars, they also raced with car #52. Here is the video for car #52 where I also show the LEGO model that was brought to Le Mans: In the following video I break down the initial prototype and show all of the SNOT techniques within. The final models are mostly the same internally, which is why I am only featuring the breakdown in this one video: The prototype has taken approximately 3 weeks to complete, so it a bit more "finished" than the BMW M8 and Aston Martin Vantage that I will show later (they represent roughly 2 and a half week of work each) When I built this model, the reference pictures were all of the 488 GTE from last year with the extra headlights and high visibility "teeth" in the middle of the front opening. The headlights, as well as the front splitter are the only changes I have spotted on the new version and Ferrari is not saying much about what has changed to earn the "EVO" in the name of the car. Here are the dimensions the model is following: Length: 4568mm => 28,55 => 29 studs Width: 1952mm => 12 studs Height: 1213mm => 61mm Wheelbase: 2650mm => 16,56 => 17 studs And my list of changes to appear in the next prototype are: - Livery of the actual cars with white/red/gree/yellow/blue stripes and color blocks - Deletion of 4 headlights as previously mentioned - Changes in the diffuser (tan will replace the red and be used as detailing as well) - Tan for the inside of the wheel wells. - Yellow warning ring next to right rear light. - Change of rear bodywork to accommodate new livery. - Change of side panels to accommodate new livery (triangular color blocking near the barge boards). - Change in design of windscreen so it flows with the roof. - Maybe new side mirrors that are hinged on the outer side (if I can make that work). - Front hood opening right in front of the windscreen should be changed to a more curved design. - Turn around the robot arms holding the spoiler! I should also take a look at how the 1x2 tile next to the rear wheel is connected. It is not Kosher. From this top view you can better see how the sides flow into the body work. My favorite detail by far: And as usual. Please bring on all the critique you can muster. I am showing this early prototype of the car in the hope of getting as many improvements as possible before Le Mans. Thanks in advance :)

Here is an update on the headlights. During the process of building the first prototype I tried a lot of different designs without being completely satisfied. Warning: Low lighting cell phone pictures taken right before bed times At first I tried one where the lights are mounted on the mud guard, like on my Aston Martin Vantage: Another attempt was to use single pieces, but that didn't really work either: The headlights from the first prototype were also attempted in smoke: And tonight I have tried another approach by making the front 11 wide, allowing for curved slopes next to the headlights: This is my favorite yet, but I do miss a blue curved slope tile below the headlights. At least the front intake is finally wide enough :) That said, I'm still looking into moving the outer lights a plate forward.

[WIP] Lexus LC500
Lasse D replied to StudRobotics's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I recommend waiting with the engine detail until you have the chassis work and claddings for at least the front of the car - it should be much more important to get the body work right than the engine cover (at least in my opinion) and should save you money on parts that you might not need. By the way. Is there a reason why you are building the V8 (which in the real car has a 10 speed AT Aisin gearbox) rather than the hybrid? The V6 hybrid has a 4 speed AT gearbox + eCVT, which seems almost ideal for a Minstorms build. With this version you can use two motors + differential to recreate the eCVT and then you just need to make a 4 speed sequential gearbox. -
I am preparing for Le Mans this year where the lights have changed color from yellow to white. Unfortunately it seems I have to wait for the Le Mans training sessions to see all the updates for the Corvettes, since they are racing in IMSA rather than WEC, and the cars have slight differences between the IMSA and Le Mans versions (such as the placement of the fuel filler). Updates to come once I know more :)

The model is finally complete and I have made building instructions for all 4 cars in both red and dark red. I am still not sure if the best color is red or dark red, hence the choice of color. Here are the links for building instructions of the red cars: Ford #66 Ford #67 Ford #68 Ford #69 SEE BELOW FOR ORIGINAL POST This video shows all the details of the first prototype and I even take it apart to show how it is constructed. I want to build all the LMGTE PRO cars for Le Mans this year in the same scale as in Miniland in Legoland (scale 1:20). Last year I made the Corvette, which means that I "only" have to build 5 completely new cars. One of the cars that compete in this class is the Ford GT. There will be four of these at Le Mans (two from the American and two from the British racing teams). This is the very first prototype. All details are subject to change, and I intend on making at least 5 versions before the final model is ready. From the front there are some details which I would like to improve: - The front grille opening should be wider. - The headlights should have more blue parts to surround them. - The headlights could be more curved - The white scoops seen from the top of the front should be more extensive. - The crossaxle in the front axle could be half a stud shorter. - The livery below the doors should be more "triangular" with the door sills being sloped. - There could be fewer studs around the rear wheels. Moving on to the rear: - The white racing stripe should not be separate from the body work - even in the rear. - The grilles around the rear "window" should be in line Here are a couple of additional shots: Side: And top view: Here is the collage I have made in order to get the details as correct as possible (with additional top-view image available in the reddit thread I made for it here https://www.reddit.com/r/weclego/comments/82rygj/working_collage_for_lego_ford_gt_in_scale_120/ The "griddy" picture is based on these dimensions: Length: 4763mm => 30 studs Width: 2004mm => 12.5 studs Height: 1110mm => 56mm Wheelbase: 2710mm => 17 studs Please feel free to come with criticism. I will even appreciate comments without suggestions for improvement, such as "I don't like the headlights" - it tells me that I should look into that detail.
-
There was a comment on Eurobricks that I could use the new 2x2 corner tile in red once it is available. It has recently been released in the new Speed Champions Ferrari set and I have to agree - it looks quite good on the front of the porsche (right behind the headlights). Do you think I should update the instructions with this change?

Bugatti Chiron 1:8
Lasse D replied to Leviathan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes. This is exactly right. I do not know of any sets where cross axles are twisted. The nearest would be the use of torsion beams in the Brick Cars book by @lego911 A detail I noticed about this set is how the real car is making the rear end seem more rounded than it apparently is. This is a massively difficult effect to recreate in LEGO, and I have no idea of how @Leviathan should have recreated it.- 46 replies

Bugatti Chiron 1:8
Lasse D replied to Leviathan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You mean like in 9763? The elastic effect of the crossaxle 32 is used in one of the missions. This Chiron is just awesome! Good luck with your own version LEGO! :D- 46 replies

[MOC] Trabant Universal 1.1
Lasse D replied to jonny789's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It looks really nice and sleek. Awesome job! I love that you have made a half-plate offset on the headlights, and I can see you are favoring sturdiness instead of closing that thin line below. That is probably something LEGO would prefer as well if you get it through LEGO ideas. -
Event 2018 Billund building challenge!
Lasse D replied to Holodoc's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
With the time given, I believe there is enough time for me to learn how to build a car 6 wide. I hope the competition will be like back in 2007(?) where we raced on the minigolf tracks and such :) -
This is some increadible quality from the build itself to the stickers, lighting and tubing. Are you a certified professional, and if not, have you considered becoming one in order to make it easier to help those who inadvertently want to purchase copies?
