Muscle dragster

Things like this are the reason I'm finally getting into RC. perfect job, mate! -
"Psychic Warfare", a last year's album by Clutch. Tasty.

Horrible thing to do if it was not a crisis situation.

Civil War, of course. Was pretty OK, though I'm getting tired of those grand moral dilemmas in superhero flicks. DC does that since Nolan's Batman, while Marvel stayed more action-oriented for a long time (and they are still un-realistic when it comes to technology and stuff), so it's still nice than DC cinematic productions. Aside from the overall dilemma and the fact the film is non-stop brawl, it's cool. Love the newest rendition of Spidey, the best one to date. Before the Captain America marathon, I re-watched Guardians of the Galaxy. Aside from first Iron Man flick, the best one that is in MCU.

Foil bag Probe Droid from the local Lego Star Wars magazine. The Probot looks great, especially next to my IG-88 figure mentioned previously.

Your Best Technic Bargains
Immo replied to Kumbbl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Out of impulse I checked the Polish eBay-like site to look for 42040 (Fire Plane) I wanted for a long time. I found one for $38/£26/33€ and bough it immediately - never saw it cheaper in Poland. It was with a discount because the box was damaged; contents were pristine and not tampered with. Quite cool bargain for me, still waiting for the bargain of my life, though -
42040 Fire Plane
Immo replied to timtimgo87's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Finally got this set, after wanting it since June '15. Not disappointed. The only con is the size of the otherwise awesome looking stickers - applying them obsessively-compulsively-perfectly took me probably half of the building process, but it was worth it. The plane looks, feels and works awesome, lots of functions and a huge size for the price. Actually it paid to wait as I got it new but discounted for 65% of MSRP (so it was 6 euro cents/piece) because the box was slightly damaged. Inside everything was 10/10, so it was a win. -
Waiting for my package - 42040, finally bought. Love at first sight, finally will be consummated.
-
I bough more and more foiled micro sets - Millenium Falcon, Luke's Speeder and Naboo N-1. Quite cool.

[REVIEW] 42046 - Getaway Racer
Immo replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Got mine for Easter (GF ). Quite impressive. The motor has a lot of torque and the model's design allows it to go pretty fast and without flipping. Honestly, I thought the pull-back motor is a "kiddo stuff", but it's a fun stuff! Just built a C-model. Does nice wheelies. -
Nice idea, however I'm quite convinced it's a Social Justice Warriors fodder
-
I keep repeating that, but the 42050 is a neat representation of a funny car, has all the necessary functions and the "wheelie" function is perfect for displaying the model properly. Love the colour, too. I got mine for Christmas and it still stays on the shelf, "wheelieing". I have plans on building a C-Model, though. Probably a supercharged hot rod tractor thingy.

A Minifig to Represent Each Country? Help!
Immo replied to kobalt's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Poland - as a Pole I'd suggest a guy with a mustache and socks worn with sandals. More seriously though - a Polish hussar. Those heavy cavalrymen were both tough and intimidating. Cuirass, sabre, helmet and a winged "backpack" as the one above is a must. -
Do modern white bricks still turn yellow?
Immo replied to ProducePrincess's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'm not sure, as personally never tried this (all my old Lego parts are back home 400KM from where I live; those I have with me are good as new), but I saw many photos in "before-after" theme and all of them shown the whitening process. Nobody mentioned anything about the texture. So maybe it's a thing, but I don't think so - it's just 3% H2O2, so I don't believe it's a degrading factor. Maybe it depends on the time it took to soak the parts while they stay in sunlight? The oxidated water may go warm in a container in the sunlight as much as a regular water... -
Do modern white bricks still turn yellow?
Immo replied to ProducePrincess's topic in General LEGO Discussion
"Disaster" would be an appropriate term if the yellowing process was irreversible. Vast quantities of 2% hydrogen peroxide (a.k.a. oxidated water) and natural UV rays from the sun combined are said to reverse the yellowing nicely. You can get a liter bottle of H2O2 for about 1-2 US bucks. -
Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here
Immo replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I'd cut the new cape to put it on. There is a way to merge it back somehow, I'm sure. Maybe with a heated needle? After all, it's a synthetic fabric, right? -
If you have to keep a revolver stuffed behind your belt, the adventure is not over, sir! Or maybe the butler needs some encouragement from time to time? His face hints that it may be the case

Great build! Finished the game (Larry 7: Love for Sail) for the third or fourth time last year, it's still cool despite its age. Here, the bulkiness of the Lego bricks stands out less than the bulkiness of non-AA graphics.
-
Yeah, browsing through the instructions booklet and looking for the axles is relatively easy as they usually post a length chart on each page containing beams (liftarms) or axles. My first thought was an extra part, but it's too big to not to trigger the weighing mechanism in Lego factory. My second thought was it was for B-model. But nobody else noticed this part being left from the A build. My third thought was that the part's too big to be a spare and too big to be missed without model's functions and/or structure having flaws, but, hey, who knows? Maybe it was just to reinforce something already strong? Check the booklets.

[MOC] Mini Monster Car
Immo replied to Oliver 79's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Now it's perfect. I love the '60s Camaro vibe. EDIT: Checked the file, you used wrong parts - the Technic Axle Pin should be with friction if in blue. Also, the shift gear, 5L axle and steering wheel are in wrong colours. I think the shock absorbers are wrong, too. Sorry for carping. -
While browsing through a newspaper stand, I found a Lego Magazine with this included: $2.50, it's a steal. Neat little thing, awesome for that scale, quite a lot useful parts to boot.
-
I bought used (but flawless) IG-88 minifig for less than $1. And got two blasters that match him perfectly.

Ain't it a basic value of netiquette to try and stick to the forum's language? The OP asked the question in English and many of us would be interested to get the answers... in the same language.
