    Great project, and thinking behind it. Really love this!

    Wonderful moc - nice figure building as well.

    That's a lovely example you've found - and you've used it right! I remember building that Jeep sometime around 1980.... happy days.

    I feel the OPs pain... but it's got to be done or I'll be drowning in Lego. One year at the STEAM show, a neighbouring exhibitor tore down his beautiful set-up after the show and literally threw it in chunks into the box.

    Every so often someone raises the game.. awesome model!

    The second one has a variable speed control; the first is simply on or off.

    With the same dilemma, I went for the BWE. Much better value.

    I have 4 of these springs, and I can see no problem, according to the Royal Mail's website, about sending them to Iran. If you still need them you can have them FOC. Just PM me.

    Oh man, I loved this thing! Like Groundskeeperwillie, I'm not bothered by the slack in the tracks and besides, it runs along really nicely. Although the lack of bracing is surprising, there's so many studded connections that everything always held together anyway. Enjoy!

    Lots of love for the 8043, totally understand! Glad it's not just me who gets a kick out of building 854 from memory ...

    Don't want to sound rude, but Bullcrap. They're busy adding errata sheets for the Blakbird mod / gear switching stages.

    So, not great hamster transport, then ? Thanks for your very informative and honest review. Can't say the lack of PF is a great problem, but I totally agree with everything else you say here. You may have saved me £250, so thanks for that. I should donate it to a hamster sanctuary

    Superb review, thankyou Jim. I really thought I'd get this on day one but now... it's a lot for 42039 functions plus a flawed gearbox in a 911 suit. Pass.

    I always understood a Technic Supercar to be one that included steering, suspension, engine, transmission functions - at any scale and of any car, supercar or not.

    To be honest, I think when these were designed was when Lego had lost their mojo. Thankfully they found it again.

    Yes, what a race! We'd like to thank the Mercedes drivers for crashing into each other Well done Max! now to change the colours a bit on my 8461 Williams...

    Very entertaining thread.... it's only fair to contribute myself, here's an early horror from shortly after my dark ages: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/196292 It was done with pre-1982 stuff and an 8880. Still no excuse for working less than well and looking worse...

    .. that he put in shot to get us talking...

    Absolutely crazy, in the best possible way. A rubber burning monster!

    A very late vote for 8880... I hope you are not stuck in bed for too long, but a few bricks will hopefully help the time pass. The VW's a lovely set, it has the nicest details; like the designer really loved designing it. Thanks for reminding us, next time I put mine together I'll take more time over it

    I really like this. It doesn't look perfect as others have said but the functions are superb and it's not another supercar!
  22. Nick Barrett
    ^^ This. Well said, it's a premium product - with the Porsche name on it, it has to be.
  23. Nick Barrett
    8880 for chassis parts and 42029 for mechanics. They've all got some juice though.
  24. Nick Barrett
    Incredible work, really super in every way.

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Kind of a change from my usual style, mostly because it's smaller.
