Congratulations completing the build. Jurgens Ultimate 42009 is a fantastic & rewarding build.

Got around to taking some photos of the Tactix boxes that I use, find these at Bunnings for around A$8ea. They are ideal for smaller parts, they are very secure & stackable (the dividers can be removed, if required) plus once you are organised it is very fast to locate the part you're after. Hope this helps...... https://www.flickr.c...57647612973063/

Tudor now has a brother. Yes they are Tumbler tyres on the rear - Fat!

Mr. Madoca, your 4x4 pickup is super cool! Thanks for sharing the instructions. Two donor 42029's contributed to this build & provided a wealth of leftover useful parts. The photographic instructions are excellent to follow whilst providing a challenge, the only alteration I made was clear spotlights instead of yellow. Runs perfect without any gear noise etc..... Thanks again - C3 Corvette currently under construction.

Thanks for this review & instructions. I'm currently half way through the build via Madoca's photos, have enjoyed the build so far - instructions look great (as usual) thanks very much. Have gone for a Tan coloured interior (on the Red body) as per Jantjeuh's Black/chrome deluxe version. Here

"Muppets" & sBricks How condescending.

It's winter only in the northern hemisphere, looking at the banner from a southern hemisphere country it appears weird & out of context since we are experiencing a record HOT summer. Perhaps consider a banner ½ winter, ½ summer just like the real world- Doh, that will never happen.

Not sure if this has been previously mentioned, if so, apologies. Due to price & availability of some Soft Axles, in this case 19L Black asking price currently around US$50ea., I considered fabricating my own from cheeper donor axles of same colour, since Axle material appears to be TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). These are the simple tools required; Tools by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Measure the length of the Axle to be fabricated, in this instance 19L approx. 151mmL; Measure original by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Measure donor Axles, in this instance 11L; Measure by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Cut donor axles, ensure ends are cut square; Cutting tool by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Measure & cut donor axles to required length plus approx. 1mm ea. for wastage; Cut by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Prepare pieces by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Clamp both cut axles firmly ensuring they are square & the axis are the same; Clamp by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Use a heater or soldering iron with a flat blade, use the blade as a mirror to reflect heat into TPU Axle ends. Caution: Do not allow the TPU ends to touch the mirror. Caution do not inhale fumes if ends do touch mirror. Watch the axle ends swell as they heat - look for the 1mm each end to shrink. Remove heater & bring ends squarely together, do not push hard together as this will push out the molten TPU away & bring cold ends together. Be gentle, do not force molten TPU away: Heater by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Heat axles by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Soft Axles by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Allow to cool naturally for a minute & remove from clamp. Trim excess TPU with a sharp knife or side cutters; Trim by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Finished Soft Axles fabricated in a few minutes for a fraction of the cost; Fabricated by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Installed; Finished by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr Anyone familiar of joining Polycord round belting will see this procedure is the same. Hope this helps.

Nice

Like it heaps, can't wait to build it & show next to the LR & GT500 already built.

Those striped curtains are freaking me out -

Excellent, I'm half way through building the AWD SUV Mk2 - I think that shall be abandoned in favour of this one. Well done & TING

Nice work

Cool model - runs well

Nice, on my 'to do' list.

Hey Doc, I'll give you the $400 - posted to Syd, I'll even include it with my display of Technic cars at next years BrickVention in Melb (Jan). PM me. WIP IMG_1201 by OneMoreRobot_NZ, on Flickr

+1 Same, there great & Bunnings are keeping good stocks now

Thats how my wife drives when going to the shops

Thanks for the feedback, to answer questions posted; The durability of the chrome dose not pose any problems, chrome plating plastic parts is normal - have a look around, inside new cars, electronics (headphones etc), photo frames etc, even TLG chrome parts occasionally. There are at least two methods used, Vacuum Metallisation or traditional chemical dipping - both styles are available on BL, my preference is the latter since the part is completely coated. The parts are durable & no different to work with - having said that I wouldn't let a 5 year old loose in a sandpit with one of these & expect to get it back pristine. The cost is an issue, I justify it by the enhanced appearance it provides. Easily kept clean with a cloth. For the Morgan, my model is based on the current production version - 2014 Brooklands Edition, to keep in context these are photos of the car; 59748356 by steveperry895, on Flickr 59748357 by steveperry895, on Flickr

This is my first post since I'm a new AFOL to Eurobricks. I have been building for just over a year now, my area of interest is cars & machinery, I have exhibited at one show recently in Australia & throughly enjoyed the experience of sharing our hobby.... Thought I would post a couple of my recent builds. A Morgan 3-Wheeler based on the current Brooklands Edition - thanks to Nico71 for the basics. please note this is still in progress - wheels yet to be completed in black chrome. A '32 Ford Tudor hotrod - thanks to Doc Brown for the plans A big thanks to Auri @ Chrome Block City for his patience & understanding for my endless special requests. I hope you enjoy.

Very helpful review - thanks

Nice model, I like the engine intake area. Indicator idea is cool, would have saved them for another model - Hot Rods don't have indicators. Keep it, don't break it down - show it at some Lego User Expo's and inspire others. Keep up the good work.
