When browsing through all the entries to give my final votes I came across entry 46 and I was pretty sure I had seen this some place before. Guess I was right: http://www.technicbricks.com/2013/07/week-techvideo-2013-30-specialized.html Isn't this is against one of the rules? I guess I am not making myself popular with this, but fair is fair.

Hmm, I also own a Nexus 7, one of the first versions. I also own a Fairphone. How can I check if my device is supported?

Maybe this has been asked before, so I apologize in advance, but will you share the number of votes for all the entries, or just top 3. Just so I know who well/bad I did :) (otherwise I will need to create my own piece of software to grep through the votes)

A chain link was possible and I tried to incorporate it, but I got into trouble with the seat :/

You caught me there. This entry was indeed part of the LEGO Inside Tour 2014 building contest :) I am no kart expert and I thought there ought to be a differential in there (I thought this was an error in the 8842, so I rectified it :) ). Seems real karts don't have them and the designers also told me this. Most people on my tour (including me) obeyed to the rules of the designers and created sturdy, "real set" models. Since my model was the only Technic model in the competition, and the designers were a bit nostalgic about the 8842, they decided to grant me 4th place. Which is very high, considering the total number of entries (35) and considering the fact this was my second MOC since I came out of the dark ages. So I am very proud of this MOC. True, but I don't think there were any panels available in the designer's standard LEGO cabinets :/ There weren't even pistons available for the engine. So the whole engine (crankshaft + rod) is there, but the piston is missing :)

Steering is just this: + Or maybe I don't understand what you're asking Anyway, here's the LEGO Digital Designer file: http://bricksafe.com/files/kennywest/MOCs/go-cart/go-cart.lxf

True. But the 8842 was skinny as well :) This MOC was also part of a competition guided by LEGO designers. We had tough requirements: - I had to build this in one night - it had to be rock solid and very playable, for kids (so we had to throw with it :) ) - it had to be in the same price range as, for example, the 42021 - it had to be functional (so it features steering and a working piston engine) - I had to use a range of "standard parts" available to LEGO designers

This is something I made a while ago. I was going to use it for the "Mini Moc Competition" but I already posted pictures of this on another forum before the competition started ... which was not allowed. Anyway, enjoy!

Jim, see personal message and: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96537&hl=

I really, really like this very much. Love the colors and function. Set reminds me of the old basic Technic sets, when I was a kid.

Thank you very much, for your kind words. I know, it should have been tan, but I don't have any tan plates lying around

This is the final promotional image: The image was taken on the roof parking where I work, to give it a more or less industrial look. The image was inspired by the old 8843 forklift. These are the parts that were used: I also created an LDD file, to allow other people to build it and to verify the part count: http://bricksafe.com/files/kennywest/MOCs/forklift/forklift.lxf This is the first time I participate in a Eurobricks contest. This is the 3rd MOC I have created and I have enjoyed building it very much. I hope it will please, at least, some of the members here. Looking at the other entries that have entered the contest, chances are very slim I will win this contest. Building a small model seems something I should do more often, given the number of pieces I have. So, thank you for this contest, it has brought me out of the dark-ages again :)

Great model. So this is becoming a small BeLUG competition as well :)

Now just need to take it apart and take a picture of the pieces :)

This is what the 42022 should have been. I like it very much.

Great! I love it.

More or less finished. This is the digital version: It has the following functions: - HOG steering - raise and lower forks - tilt forks According to LDD this makes 186 bricks (pallet included)

Mind is blown

@scooby136, these tires are definitely used on tractors, when they are used to drive and work on grass :)

Looks very nice. Great craftsmanship! I myself have a dozen of Antonius trays to sort bags when building sets (or when I rebuild old sets): http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50043573/

As a fan of agricultural equipment, I like what you've done, but: - As already said, I have never seen a combine with two discharge spouts, I think you should drop one - as a result, you have more pieces to spend, maybe add a fake engine :)

Pre-ordered it. This really looks amazing.

Yes, I like it and I want it. Cabin looks much better now. Love the details. Any chance there will be an LDD-file for this :)
