  1. Very cute model, I love the idea of using pistons as feet
  2. I just set my lego workspace up after ~3 years yesterday and a new contest is announced today? I guess I have no choice but start building :)
  3. These look genuinely good, I love them! They kinda remind me of bmw art cars.
  4. That panelling has a real good "speed racer" vibe to it
  5. You're right, it makes more sense that it's facing the front. So there's clearly no way it could be removable.
  6. I know that's an axle hole. The part I wished would be a removable axle + axle hole is the handle, the part that is towards the rear of the vehicle.
  7. I like that they are using dark blue more and more
  8. I don't think so. Compare the hub color with the pieces under the red toolbox. The hubs look much closer to the LBG stairs than the DBG connector. I think it's a shame the hose attachments are at the side. I'd love it if the valve switch is actually an axle hole + 2l axle so that you can remove the valve axle if you use a coaxial axle to control the valve. But that doesn't seem possible in 1l width.
  9. This is shaping up to be a beautiful model, keep it up! And it's really nice to see a model team wip thread for a change.
  10. So is the rotation purely mechanical to be able to use the buttons sideways/upside down? I would be pleasantly surprised if it was electronical and tied to another channel to allow four channels to be used by a single remote. edit: But then again it would be weird to use the buttons while the rotation axis is at a weird angle or upside down, so I guess I wouldn't be as pleasantly surprised as I initially thought.
  11. You could slap some panels on the structure and rebrand it as a submarine :D
  12. Sorry to hear that, now there'll be a lot of people expecting a thoroughly written review with crisp pictures from you on the day the review ban is lifted...
  13. Beautiful model with very nice styling, and nicely working functions. The proportions make the model seem smaller than it is, I love it!
  14. Nice model, congratulations. Very good modeling overall, but I have a couple of critiques if I may: - The grille looks like it's a couple units more forward than it should be - The rear upper corners seem too blocky, maybe a more curvy solution like the bottom half would look better - The reference picture seems to have suicide doors unlike your model, but most of the pictures on google show the doors on the configuration you built, so I'm not sure why I wrote this one :)
  15. This looks like a seriously fun buggy, well done!
  16. Hahaha, fun moc, and another original idea from you, well done. I love how you modified the hook after the first car fell down :D
  17. The model is terrific, no doubt about that, but I'm here to praise the camerawork. I don't remember you using these type of 6-dof camera movements, but I really like them. I think they add a lot of quality to the presentation, and it's refreshing to watch.
  18. Nice, looks like a lot of fun! I agree with @Pvdb, this tempts me to buy one :)
  19. A different and interesting model, and all the functions work really good. Is there a real-life counterpart you based it on, or did you just build it to your own specs? I feel like it would be more functional if the two front claw arms had different functions from each other, or maybe a single arm with more degrees of freedom (like claw rotation). Great video though! Love the bomb and the effects
  20. I think white stripes work best with blue, but it's a matter of choice. While searching for a good example, I somehow stumbled upon this (can't attach the image because of pinterest, but it's the top left one). It's an interesting look, worth trying :)
  21. The instruction you linked for 9398, not 9393. But I checked the instructions and it seems they also show the one without stoppers. Thank you :)
  22. I got a question about technic link1x6 versions. 9393 set inventory shows that it comes with two of the ones with stoppers, but is it possible for the set to come with the ones without stoppers since the part was replaced? I can't find the ones with stoppers in my sorted parts, and I'm afraid to dive into the unsorted bin :) I'm gathering the parts for selling some of my collection and I'd rather send the correct part to the buyer.
  23. Most official recent sets with solid or unsuspended axles with diff use restricted axle joiners to stop the axles sliding out. I think it's the best way for making the official sets as reliable as they can be. Examples: 42041, 42043, 42009
