    Excellent, I agree that would look better

    Very nice! If you're going to chrome things, why not also chrome the two small brackets that hold the smaller lights under the headlights?

    I use the back side of one of those roll-down curtains. It's not rigid, but it flows smoothly and it is length adjustable Also stores very easily, which is a must in my tiny house. This photo was taken recently with a simple Canon digital camera (no dslr or whatever; just one that fits in your pocket). Overhead was the kitchen's TL light and to the left is a window (although I'm not sure if I took this picture during the day). No post-processing; I'm quite happy with it

    7:10 5:6 16:4 3:3 17:2 8:1 It was very hard to choose, all entries are of excellent quality. I prefer functionality over looks, but some models are just so good looking Best of luck to all the contestants!

    It took me a while, but now I realize how it works. That's very ingenious! Doesn't it create friction when the bracket that holds the differential wants to tilt up/down? Or is the natural play sufficient to account for that? By the way: sorry for giving you such a hard time for the dimensions. I really think your models are of excellent technical quality, I just felt a bit disappointed about the dimension thing. I hope you can understand my point of view also.

    I've made instructions for the A-model. If anyone is interested: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/ludovisser/combine-harvester Feedback on the instructions is also appreciated

    Fair enough. I've expressed my opinion, I'm going to let it rest. We shouldn't be needing a lawyer to establish rules either

    What happened to this one? You were off to such a great start! Time?

    By the way, Zblj, these are your words: I'm a bit sad to see you, of all people, exploiting the "half stud measurement"-loophole...

    Indeed. I hate to say it, but maybe it should be required to a "registration" for contests. Something along the lines of having a WIP topic at least 1 week before the end of the contest. But admittedly, maybe I'm taking this a bit too serious... it's still supposed to be for fun Edit: talking about WIPs: wasn't there someone who started off great with a grader or something...? I can't find it anymore.

    It makes me a bit sad that there's always people that want to bend the rules, however so slightly...
  12. ludov
    I agree. I appreciate the technical implementation though. It's very impressive how much you managed to squeeze into such small space. However, I think the lack of steering angle indicates you may have squeezed in a bit too much A real HOG steering would've increased the playability. The B-model is very nicely shaped and also technically impressive. For both, I don't really care for the colouring scheme, but that's a matter of taste.

    I know this thread is half a year old, but: many thanks for this! I'd like to add: you can get povray from MacPorts (http://www.macports.org) and then simply render from the command line. The UI from UberPOV/MegaPOV kept crashing on my machine (Mac OS X 10.11.3). These settings (that I found somewhere else here on this forum) work well for me: povray +L/path/to/LGEO/lgeo/lg +W1920 +H1200 +A0.0 +J +R9 your_model.pov All other dependencies are ok, so you only need the LGEO path. I only had an issue with DX_48_slash_4_dash_4ri100_dot_dat_in_part, which apparently wasn't generated properly in the .pov by LDView. I can't figure out what part it was, since the render looks just fine:

    That looks good already! It's a bit short maybe compared with the model you posted, but I like the dimensions nonetheless. Looks robust (I put a gearbox in my truck ;-)
  15. ludov
    The cab looks really good, especially considering that you were limited by the parts available in the set. I'm curious to see updates
  16. ludov
    I like it! Very original. It reminds me a bit of one of the alternative models of the 8479 Barcode Multiset: Maybe you can add a radar dish instead of the storage space
  17. ludov
    This looks way better
  18. ludov
    Absolutely agree. When I saw the mobile crane 42009 I already realised that Technic had gone into a whole new level of sophistication while I wasn't looking (my dark ages). The Arocs and now this year's sets confirm that trend. And I don't think the price is actually that high. If you see what adults spend on model trains, RC cars, racing bikes and other hobbies, I think LEGO Technic is one of the cheaper hobbies For sure a lot of adults have significant spending money available. The UCS sets and the architecture sets also are quite expensive and apparently do well, so it's a logical step for TLG to continue to target adults in other areas as well.

    I was also wondering what the added value of the PF is. I think that a fake engine with some differentials would increase the appeal without decreasing the playability of the set.

    I think I like this Volvo the most of all the models, but that might have something to do with the fact that it has pneumatics I really like how it looks and the fact that it isn't motorised. With the Claas I was really wonder what the added value is to motorise it, while this model looks like something I can play with for hours I wonder if the size is compatible with the Arocs...

    I did not see that coming. Very cool indeed! Good to make the bucket (?) foldable. Have you considered making it a forklift? I think it looks a bit small to be a bucket...
  22. ludov
    This looks pretty cool. The scissory (?) crane arm looks a bit awkward though. Not sure why they didn't use the new parts from the Arocs outriggers. I love the tires though
  23. ludov
    I'm not sure what to think of this... I had to look really close to see that it's actually LEGO. I'm going to reserve my opinion until we know what's inside. (I really should get back to work...)
  24. ludov
    It is already used as turntable in the bottom, it seems. I reckon it has some rollers, considering the size of the upper structure.
  25. ludov
    Holy %*#*$ It's huge. And ugly, like machinery should be.
