  1. Well, it seemed ood to me too. But that email address exists, so I contacted Pieter there, no reply yet. For the rest of you that replied recently, I feel overwhelmed with your nice words, I had no idea my Indominus will have so many fans Thank you all!
  2. I absolutely love it! Great idea and perfect implementation, my boys would love this beast. I will definitely build one, thanks a lot!
  3. Well, this is an easy one: the Power Puller wheels. 4 of those weigh a whooping 762 grams. Also, your axles have to be extra strong/heavy, to be able to handle these beasts. But they sure look perfect on this awesome truck. Bravo!
  4. Thanks everyone for your nice replies, some of them were really fun to read, bravo Rex is taking a well-deserved vacation now, in May he will take part in his 2nd expo, I will keep you posted on his "adventures".
  5. Your building style is really to my liking. Using System parts to cover the gaps and for details, really adds a lot to the shape of your car, great work. Also the performance is very good, good job mate!
  6. Now that's a cool build! My boys would go nuts over this. If you add some half-pins on the drilling head you could actually use it on sand or snow
  7. My fellow AFOLs also had some laughs, see what they did at the first expo that Indominus was on show
  8. OMG! I cannot believe this. This means very much to me, thanks a lot Jim To all of you who posted here, I am very glad that you like my Indominus, I will post later today some funny photos from the last RoLUG exhibition.
  9. Hey guys! I recently build a Technic model of the famous Indominus Rex for my 7-year old son, I wanted you all to see it and let me know what you think. The requirements were that it's pose able, playable, able to grab a minifig in it's hands, swallow a minifigure whole, and also have a stomach, where quite a lot of minifigs should fit. And most importantly, the Indominus should be able to poop them out, one by one And finally, the tail should be able to hit like a whip, sideways. Enough talk, I hope the photos will be enough to please you, I have no video of it, as it's a manual model. As usual, you can see all of the photos on my Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/braker23/sets/72157692435291251/ Enjoy and have a great day!
  10. Wow! I just love the looks of this beast. Also the motorization is insane, but I have my doubts about performance, it's too heavy, even for 4 buggy motors. Cannot wait to see the video, so you can prove me wrong
  11. Awesome paneling, looks great, I really want to see a video of it, must be hella-fast!
  12. Now that's a mean looking Tatra 813. I just love these monsters, your 8x8 version is amazing, it emanates sheer power and the chains setup is wicked. I really cannot wait to see it live, in the following Truck Trial competition
  13. Thanks a lot for your comments, everyone! While I would love to share some internal photos, you cannot see much, unless I take some panels off. I will try to handle this soon :) Check out my 2nd video, where I demonstrate the power of the sBrick sequence control. Enjoy!
  14. Hey guys! So, my intention was to replicate an industrial robot arm with 6 degrees of freedom, I am pretty satisfied with the result. As I do not have any Mindstorms, I decided to build it only using Power Functions. For operation, I use 2 sBricks, which allow me to do precise movements, from an interface of my own design. Most joints have a large movement range, it can lift up to 150g of weight and the operation speed is intentionally slow, for better control. The arm uses 7 motors, which can all be controlled independently. It has 1 XL, 3 L and 4 M motors. The arm is powered by 2 battery boxes, a large one in the base and a small AAA on the custom turn-table, which I am very proud of. By the way, the total weight is 2800g, so quite heavy. It actually took me one month to create, so it's definitely my longest build to date. But enough talk, here's the video (you maybe saw it on FB already). Here's what you can do with the robot arm, using a nice sBrick sequence: Photos are next: Feel free to comment an share your thoughts, thanks for your time If you want to see all the pictures, see my Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/braker23/albums/72157692147505855 PS: I will post more content soon, this is just the beginning!
  15. So, let's start this! Can anybody confirm what variant of blue is this? Medium azure or dark azure?
  16. I just love the car design, the teaser, the final video, your editing skills. Very good job!
  17. I actually love it! The rowing motion is very smooth and effective, thanks for sharing the instructions :)
  18. Very cool video, I enjoyed every minute of it. Very good models, most of them. And that trial course of yours is the best I saw, so far. I still hold dear to the idea of joining your TT someday, it will happen
  19. Your car is awesome and drifts perfectly, but your editing skills are off the charts, thanks for this amazing experience!
  20. Dude, I just love this Jeep! The looks are spot on, the internal design is awesome and it's performance is more than I expected, at his weight. Congrats for winning, it was a very inspirational competition and I already want to see more :)
  21. Well, seemed you linked it already. I know Milan's MOCs very well, he's the best animal creator I have ever seen, I hope he keeps this trend going :) Now, I want to show you also the rest of my animal-inspired creations, hope you will get inspired as well. 3. Technic Rabbit This guy I built for a themed RoLUG exposition, and my main purpose was to make a jumping rabbit. As you will see, it has 2 white shocks in the back legs. By pressing it tail down and releasing, he will jump up a bit, then land on his front legs. If you press too hard, he will land on his nose. My kids love it!

So, under his strict supervision, I've built this Carnotaurus, which is pretty pose-able and playable (swallows minifigures whole!)

  22. I need to nominate IA creations's cool supercar in the HOF, feel free to analyze it here:
  23. I have been following Alex's work on this car, since the start. I also saw the model in real life, several times. I must say I am very impressed by the final model, it's his best supercar to date. Considering the awesome bodywork and the cool functions it offers, I would honestly recommended it to enter HoF, what do you guys think? Btw, the 3 colors front colors represent the Romanian flag, in case it wasn't that obvious :)
