    Lets not forget that everybody can make mistakes, and that mistakes are more likely to occur when we rush things and don't enjoy ourselves, a thing which adults tend to do far more often than children.

    Nice idea, have you thought about tireless wheels?
  3. Kelkschiz
    Definitely a contender, lovely MOC, especially like the rear-end.

    Given the difficulties of making a two legged walker, i'd say it's too ambitious to build one with LEGO. The end result it bound to be disappointing. If it really works though, more than a mere shuffle, i'd be very impressed.

    Some nice MOCs you got there. Welcome to EB! I especially like your jeep.

    How about some videos? It's one thing to see some intriguing mechanisms, it's quite another to see them in action.

    Welcome to EB! some inspirational stuff you have there.

    I don't think so. If you look at the picture that shows the innards of the turret, i recognize a system that, as far as i know was developed by this guy: It's a very nice design where a pin is placed as the end of a large LEGO spring. The only drawback of the design is that it is not very powerful. For my tank i researched about every LEGO firing mechanism out there, in the end i designed my own:

    Can you include a Michelle Rodriguez minifig please?

    Indeed, the prices are totally unrealistic, i seriously hope nobody will be tempted to buy those sets. Still that aside, his models do have some merits. I like what he has done with the hull section of the tank. He also managed to incorporate quite a few functions in a relatively small build.

    Epic dude, that has to be one of, if not the best full on technic LEGO trucks ever. Very nice photo as well.

    Great moc and very good presentation. Congratulations!

    Welcome back to moc'ing!

    Thanks Kurigan! Concerning the monohulls it's an inspiring idea, I think the main problem with a square rigger monohull will be weight. I found out that LEGO is pretty heavy for constructions where weight and strength are crucial factors, and as opposed to a cat- or trimaran, a monohull pretty much requires a counterweight under the waterline, which significantly increases an already heavy structure. Another problem which is related is that monohulls tend to list when the wind is not coming roughly from the stern. this becomes a problem when you look at the big modern plastic hulls TLG is making nowadays, they are not watertight at the top, so if water gets over the shipboard it basically starts sinking. The old style hulls don't have this problem, but they are pretty small, with those remote controlling wouldn't be an option.

    Very elegantly build, i like it a lot! The Samurai is a nice pick for MOC, great little car :)

    Personally i rather a contest as open as possible. I would be against on a paid entry for contests. If that means there is no prize, so be it. The recognition seems enough of a prize. Also, concerning the mini-contest, i'd rather only have a limit in part count, not a limit in physical size. Finally i don't see why you'd want to exclude certain themes from the mini-contest. The last mini-contest was a huge success and there was a huge variation in the builds. But perhaps i am misunderstanding the intent.

    That's quite breathtaking, all that details. Great job Personally i don't mind the wheels sticking out. Many off-road vehicles get heavily modified like oversized wheels.

    Thanks! Yeah i know, i really need an SBrick for this MOC, can't wait to get it, fully enjoy my boat and make a video about it.
  20. Kelkschiz
    So far i'd say no extra weight is needed on the side-hulls, the boat already is quite heavy, 2,4kg, most of that weight is keeping it from capsizing. The boat is quite large, easily my most voluminous LEGO creation so far, it's 117cm tall, 83cm long and 50cm wide.
  21. Kelkschiz
    You are absolutely correct that the techbeams would provide more strength but they would also be a bit heavier and bulkier, i am not sure yet if i like that trade-off, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.
  22. Kelkschiz
    Well yesterday we had 17-27 knots of wind which is quite a lot and despite that the base remained nice and level. However the mast needs some more support, especially the top part. I am planning to add a typical spreader two-thirds of the way up and second set of rigging running all the way to the top of the mast. I looked and different ways to construct a mast out of Technic LEGO. This seemed the way that offered the most strength at the least weight. Anything less strong won't do. Do you have any ideas on how to reduce the weight but keep the strength?
  23. Kelkschiz
    Ships... I thought you preferred overgrown bathtubs with equally overgrown engines. A real ship has sails

    Been following your build for some time. Great effort, totally captured the characteristics of an iconic tank. Given it's size that is a real achievement. Love the suspension.

    I am sooo jealous! He didn't happen to have anymore did he??!
