    Thanks Sariel for mentioning them, I found their websites and I was truly amazed, check them out guys :) Jennifer Clark's site: http://www.genuinemodels.com/ Andrea Grazi on Brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=grazi

    Thanks for the thread idea Paul. I just love old-fashion studded cars, and these 2 are simply amazing. Rishab, will certainly visit that new thread :)

    Now that's a great review, if I ever saw one. The Williams F1 car is an amazing set that any Technic fan will definitely enjoy. Thanks for your hard work :)

    Thanks Tommy, I am planning to improve it and make a new video, if it snows again. Now, what should I use on the treads, to improve traction?

    I see [TC6] has heated the atmosphere quite a bit, so I propose a run in the snow, for relaxation purposes :) One of the best choices for this activity is my Dirt Crusher MOD, a snow-ready half-track beast that I named Tracker, for kicks. It's based on the amazing Prowler (RC), built by the one of the best Lego tank creators in the world, Tommy Styrvoky! Thank you, master ;) Photos of the beast after some test runs: YouTube video of it's first run on snow: The 2nd video, filmed closer, and after reinforcing the treads: I still have no clue how to embed a video on these forums, who can help me out? :) You will notice Technic bricks flying off in a spectacular fashion, it seems the half-stud pins are not the best choice for this powerhouse. But I do need some way to increase traction on soft or thick snow, so if anyone has any idea what to replace them with, please let me know, thank you.

    Thank you for the link, as a result I started to watch it too, it's a good old fashion cartoon :)

    Just wow! I never saw a smaller RC tank, and it's design and functionality are out of this world. Thank you for the Technic lesson :)

    Never saw the full Flash Gordon cartoon, is this it? :)

    Very nice video Zblj, I have always envied the way you make your presentations, I have close to zero skills in this department :) And let's not forget, I am amazed on how fast and good you can build, in merely 5 hours. I think I needed that amount of time just for the main drill, lol.

    Awesome loader, I am very impressed how natural it looks, brick-built RC machines are so rare these days. Those windows look great, don't listen to them :)

    Truly unique model, very good implementation, you should take it to a Lego expo, the kids would love it!
  13. braker23
    I congratulate you, this is truly an amazing model, both in design and functionality, and the sheer complexity of the mechanics make me feel humble and eager to learn :)
  14. braker23
    What he said, plus I can add Amazing! :) Next, I propose that we collaborate a bit, so that in the future version, Ice Mole storms out of your Equalizer's cargo bay, when the situation is critical

    Good work, I love the multitude of functions all crammed in that small body, and your overall design rocks!
  16. braker23
    Thanks for your kind words, I too share your opinion, Lego is no meant only to replicate, but create using your imagination.

    So, this is my TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine), built for the sole purpose of breaking into snow banks, for the joy of my kids. It uses 4 L motors and needs 2 IR receivers, so using an sBrick for it is the perfect choice, as under 30 cm of snow, IR will fail, Bluetooth will prevail ;) Functions: L motor for left track L motor for right track L motor for main drill L motor for the 4 side drills Manual functions: Open-able 2-sided top Small door to see the internals Features Spring loaded track suspension Back-loaded weight for balance Pictures: Video just as a link, no clue how to embed it from Flickr. Anyone care to help? :) https://flic.kr/p/qfYDWX

    39. Ice Mole So, this is my TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine), built for the sole purpose of breaking into snow banks, for the joy of my kids. It uses 4 L motors and needs 2 IR receivers, so using an sBrick for it is the perfect choice, as under 30 cm of snow, IR will fail, Bluetooth will prevail ;) Specs: Part count: 1235 (more or less) Weight: 1.5 Kg (exactly) Dimensions: 36(L) x 18(l) x 16(h) cm Drills: 5 (only) Functions: L motor for left track L motor for right track L motor for main drill L motor for the 4 side drills Manual functions: Open-able 2-sided top Small door to see the internals Features Spring loaded track suspension Back-loaded weight for balance Pictures: Video just as a link, no clue how to embed it from Flickr. https://flic.kr/p/qfYDWX Link to TC6 thread (WIP) http://www.eurobrick...opic=105695&hl= Thanks for this awesome contest, good luck to you all! PS: Sorry for the photo/video quality, it's hard at night and I was really running out of time. If possible, I would make better ones and replace these, by the time of the voting :) Due to lack of snow, I had no possibility to test/film it outside, as I intended...

    Thanks Leo and Jim, I am pretty confident I will finish on time, one way or another :)
  20. braker23
    What's the cut-off time for the entries? How many hours I have left? Thank you :)
  21. braker23
    Sorry for the double post, on mobile the site reacts slowly. Cheers!
  22. braker23
    Thanks, but my kids have not seen this yet, they are too small for Technic. The 4th function should be ready by tomorrow, and I can only reveal that it's "boring" :)
  23. braker23
    Agreed, those "legs" might look flimsy, but as the vehicle is heavy, I experienced no issues yet. This is actually my version on the Christie suspension, I prefer springs probably cause of my TT background :) As soon as I get some more bigger road wheels, I will try to improve it, at least for looks.
  24. braker23
    So, I almost finished the cockpit, reinforced the body and added Technic bricks on the treads, which are more than required on soft snow ;)

    Honestly, having fully transparent panels, in all sizes, would not hurt at all, what do you think?
