    Looks pretty mean, I like how low the vehicle is and the silhouette is of the wheel arches.

    Though it says 2.4 GHz on front?

    I saw that earlier this morning on the Lego Technic Facebook group, what sort of trash is this, too lazy to copy lego models, but chooses to steal other's hard work. What will it be next 2legoornot2lego's trucks or maybe Crowkiller's supercars. This is so unfortunate, as this means anyone who produces instructions could be a target for some 3rd party knockoff model to make lots of money off of someones hard work. Here's a different screenshot of the front cover of the box. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrBN5hHtepjQjUzRk9iMllfMjA/view?usp=sharing 2.4GHz? or IR... I find it interesting that they now have the capabilities to make knock off PF parts. They probably are crappy, though what does that mean next? sketchy EV3's or even Sbricks?

    Here you go, I think everything should work correctly, though it would be a good idea to check it in real life. the front and rear axles for the crankshaft may need to be coupled by a solid axle with gears below, as the way the inner crank is designed, it has no rigid attachments between each lobe of the crank. Also now it has 120° crankshaft offset. Triple expansion engine by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr http://www.bricksafe.com/files/Tommy_styrvoky/Triple expansion engine.lxf

    A LXF file of the model is now available on Rebrickable, http://www.rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-6562/TommyStyrvoky/m4a2e8-fury-sherman-tank/ I do also have a ldraw model if someone wants to make instructions from it, as I don't have the time with college to further break the model down into proper pdf instructions or renders. http://www.bricksafe.com/files/Tommy_styrvoky/m4a2e8-fury/M4A2E8 Fury.ldr

    Great job replicating the exterior of the vehicle, I think one of my favorite bits is how the doors function so smoothly. For the pneumatic suspension dampeners, did you just seal the end of the cylinder, or is there some control of the pressure in them, for softer/harder dampening?

    ... maybe build a better 2H flagship set contest.
  8. Tommy Styrvoky
    So now that we have purple wheel arches, this could be possible? I guess these sets could be good parts donors, It will make it cheaper to pick up a set of 8 Claas wheels on bricklink.

    What DPI? I originally thought about this, though from the angle, they look too square, so that's why I chose the 16z, as there are more teeth/greater differences between the clutch/standard version. I could also suggest 12z bevel in tan, 12z double bevel in grey and in black, If you are looking for more options along the trend of gears. Here you go
  10. Tommy Styrvoky
    Looks good
  11. Tommy Styrvoky
    Here you go. It's pretty simple to make, just a ldraw model of the part and imported into LDview with a designated latitude of 15, and longitude of -15. I thought about making a render, but it looked too complex and convoluted when scaled down to 22px.
  12. Tommy Styrvoky
    What about using 16z gears for the posts.
  13. Tommy Styrvoky
    Maybe for the front wheel arch, make it thicker, like maybe two studs tall, or some sort of system based solution to obtain a 1.5 stud tall, as it currently looks too thin around the headlights.

    I mean the GUI of Rawtherapee is rather complex, as there are pages and pages of tweak able settings, so it may be slightly deterring, though I found it rather intuitive to work with, but there still are some things I don't fully understand yet. Haven't looked into any tutorials, though it was rather similar interface to working with adjustment settings in Photoshop, and it behaves similar to Lightroom, by just saving a preference file for the photo, and not modifying the original RAW data.
  15. Tommy Styrvoky
    I would suggest Rawtherapee as an alternative to Lightroom, based on my limited experience in Lightroom, it allows for Tweaking RAW settings, though there is quite a bit of options, and the GUI is sort of complex. I would suggest it, as I haven't found any limitations to it so far. Also it's free. Also a Camera question, would anyone recommend getting a Cannon T5i, As I may be studying abroad in Germany this summer, and I want a good DSLR with decent 1080p video quality/is compatible with the EF-S lenses from my Cannon XSI-Rebel, also don't want to break the bank too.
  16. Tommy Styrvoky
    Interesting method for the driveline reductions around the servo motor. I actually kind of like the boxy structure of it, it looks rugged.
  17. Tommy Styrvoky
    Thanks for testing them, I know they are rather simple though sometimes you can't always trust LDD for legal connections. The small one was sort of a how tiny can I make this and it will still be functional sort of challenge. I think for the smaller one, a beam could be mounted between the two 10197 parts. This could have some interesting applications, if there are two of these operating in a pair.

    I am not entirely sure about the operation of the 4 stud wide variant, It currently has 4 8z gears, though the way they are positioned on the lead screw, I don't think they will line up correctly( though LDD said it works), so maybe only the top two gears can be used, and maybe a loosely rotating gear below to maintain purchase for the upper gears.
  19. Tommy Styrvoky
    What about something like this, I made it one stud smaller, though It may not interface well with Technic as it is an even number of studs wide, it may work better with system builds. I think it is possible to make this be 3 studs wide, though it won't be as rigid, I may take a look into a 3 stud wide design, as I have a couple of ideas. LDD file Slider rail by Tommy Styrvoky, on FlickrSlider rail by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I figured out a 3 stud wide variant, though the input is off center.

    Gotta love google, there's a couple other good articles too, one about steam turbines in ships, and another interesting one about anti air armaments with pinpoint accuracy a lot of interesting articles about WWII engineering advances, such as radio control, basic robots. I have read a couple of the articles, but I will have to find time to read more, as I find the engineering concepts of that era to be rather creative and innovative.
  21. Tommy Styrvoky
    There's electronics involved, it utilizes a gyroscope to provide input into the elevation controls. The older designs are almost purely mechanical, though it could easilly be programed on an Arduino to have active control input, and be more accurate. There's a rather good article about it for the early post war designs used by the Allies in This Popular science article go to page 82. Though it has evolved in modern vehicles, like the M1 Abrams being able to hit a plate sized target a mile away while moving at full speed. A similar device is used on the Norden bombsight
  22. Tommy Styrvoky
    yeah, but at a much smaller scale, so you could obtain better performance and top speeds, because of a lighter chassis.
  23. Tommy Styrvoky
    lol what if that was true, TLG releasing fake prelim images and that's the flagship set...
  24. Tommy Styrvoky
    The 6x6 reminds me of a modified Oshkosh M1070 HET with a crane mounted on the back as they both have a similar resemblance in the large boxy grill structure and small windows, removed "sleeper" part of the cab, though it's a 6x6, and not an 8x8... when will lego make an 8x8 (that's not a crane). though it does look interesting, not exactly sure about the blue, but i think I prefer the cyan color in the dragster set on me.

    I would use an EV3 for a gyrostabilizing gun system similar to those used on modern MBTs, it would keep track of the current location, and add/subtract the difference of the input of the gyroscope, based on the change in terrain. Unfortunately, the EV3 is too large, and expensive for me, I would much rather work on some sort of project using an Arduino, as there are lots of interesting options for programing/sensors, outputs, and functions. Though purists may hate it, but I feel the EV3 brick is too large and primitive for my use. I think I know of one example built using the EV3 for this concept, though it is too slow of a reaction time to function correctly. Mark 7 by Kelkschiz Here you can see an example of the function of a gun stabilizer.
