    What is the light grey ball part at the top of the yacht's mast?
  2. Josephiah
    Love it! Now, if you could just rig up another servo connected to a dimmer switch...

    Don't worry, it's a (slowly) ongoing process! 42060 is on my list already. In general, I like to include as much info as possible, so videos, topics, instructions - whatever you have - is good to include. Thanks, will add it to my spreadsheet.

    Some long overdue updates: New posts added for 42048 (4 C-models), 42052 (2), 42053 (1), 42054 (7) & 42055 (5); A couple of additional C-models added to 42038 & 42039; Running total: 107 C-models documented from 23 sets; Running total still to be added: 27 C-models from a further 9 sets (not counting single user indexes) - which means, comparing to the last update, that I'm overhauling the rate of C-model production at a rate of 2 models every 5 months, so at this rate I'll clear my input spreadsheet in about 6 years' time. Or I could just pull my finger out and get it done

    Remember the Compressor Truck (as it was known in the UK) fondly - from my and my school friends' jaws dropping when it first appeared in the Lego catalogue, to the point when I stupidly sold it on as a too-cool-for-lego teenager (fortunately I held onto my other 90s flagships!). And yes, the B-model is well worth the build with it's automatic pneumatic loop. Also shows up the modern pneumatic sets on how pneumatic tube routing ought to be done!
  11. Josephiah
    Thanks all, seems like consensus favours the Arocs - I shall consider the matter!
  12. Josephiah
    Heh, exactly the answer I was expecting. For the sake of argument, leaving the availability aspect out of it, and assuming I can only buy one in total, which would you go for?
  13. Josephiah
    I suspect I can probably guess the answer to this, but which of the following should I go for: 42043 Arocs @ £130, 42054 Claas @ £90, or 42069 Extreme Adventure @ £120? Like the look of all three, but can probably only justify one (if that!) at the moment. Like the pneumatics of the Arocs, and motorised stuff of the first two, but realistically after the joy of building, most of my technic sits on the shelf until I dismantle/rebuild it. Love the look of the Claas, but the lack of B-model is a major negative for me. 42069 looks great but fewer interesting functions. Your thoughts please! Edit: P.s. I have plenty of old flagships from the 90s, but 42009 is my only major modern set so far (so closest to the Arocs in form/function of the three).

    Thanks @BrickbyBrickTechnic, had seen some of those but not all of them - will add to my list. Unfortunately, at the moment my life is such that only very sporadic updates are possible Noting this one down for future reference:
  15. Josephiah
    That, and you didn't have to cut/tear part of the box to get in...

    And this one:

    Just adding this topic so I don't lose it: Also check out the link inside to the other forum - many excellent C-models for 42060.
  18. Josephiah
    This is brilliant! Love the big monster that swallows the train.
  19. Josephiah
    Yes, I have been on this too - a few years ago, but still easily recognisable - fantastic work!
  20. Josephiah
    Thanks @Offroadcreat1ons - will still be slow progress I'm afraid, but will try to keep the updates coming a little more frequently! (Life is somewhat chaotic at the moment, with recent twins taking us to 4 under 5 ) Good find - you're right, that is impressive. I'm curious as to how the bucket works - I'm guessing that linkage makes the bucket curl in as the arm move in, to get around the "only 2 LAs" issue?
  21. Josephiah
    Sure, will add it to the "to do" list . Looks great!
  22. Josephiah
    More updates - I'm on a roll! New posts added for 42024 (7 C-models) and 42025 (4 C-models); Running total: 85 C-models documented from 18 sets; Running total still to be added: 29 C-models from a further 12 sets (not counting single user indexes).

    How about a "No Wheels" competition? I'm thinking of vehicles/animals/creatures (could be real or fictional) which don't have any wheels or caterpillar tracks touching the floor to move around. So I'd be looking for interesting methods of propulsion: walking, slithering, galloping, folding, jumping, sliding, skidding, or anything else you can think of. I'd love to see what kinds of interesting mechanisms people can come up with... Edit: just thought, an alternative could perhaps be "no motorised wheels" (i.e. rollers could be allowed) - which would open up interesting possibilities such as skating or snakeboard-type motions. Though possibly that would end up being a can of worms for the rule-writing phase!
