    I wish Lego did these too, but then maybe that wouldn't be Lego? I smashed several gears in development of an RC truck, my solution was to give it more power but less torque, and to 'double' all the gears by pushing 4 pins through them to take the stress off. The only weak point now is the diff, as I can't 'double' it, but it's doing OK so far

    Great job! This was on The Lego Car Blog http://thelegocarblog.com/2013/07/16/lego-landie/ last week, has it been finished a while? P.S Ignore those moaning about the 'noise' - it's LEGO!! And it's decent off-road. Congrats on a really nice build

    Very cool looking bike. Well built too, the engine is especially good. I'm not a fan if the painted brick though!! It's been blogged today by the way, congrats : )
  4. Ape Fight
    Completely agree, even if it looks a bit like a Plymouth Prowler! It's been picked up by the blogs as of yesterday too: http://thelegocarblo...3/07/12/b-side/

    Amazing job. Saw this on TLCB last week: http://thelegocarblog.com/2013/07/05/pod-race/ Congrats! Very well deserved.

    Very cool, and technically brilliant as always from you. Saw this blogged earlier in the week too

    I run 4x XLs and 1x M, 3 from 1 battery box and receiver, and 2 from the other. Otherwise the M (steering) motor gets its current nicked and fails to perform when under full load.

    The SNOT at the front is great (as is the rest of it!). Is there a video? It's on TLCB today too (congratulations!) http://thelegocarblog.com/2013/05/09/walking-on-sunshine/

    Brilliant. There is actually a book on how to ride a bike. Still, I maintain my thinking that the best builders figure it out for themselves. Nothing new or amazing can ever be invented by copying. Inspiration, now that's a different matter, and I get plenty of that from you Sariel!

    Personally I don't see the point in books like these (even good ones). The beauty of Lego is that a toddler can pick up a few bricks and immediately and intuitively know what to do with them. I can't see any need for a book on 'how to build Lego', just like there's no need for a book on 'how to ride a bike'. LEGO Education's own exercise workbooks for students don't even need to explain how to use the pieces, they illustrate real-word examples with the odd diagram on how a lever or cam might work.

    Model Team?

    Thought this was worth sharing! http://thelegocarblog.com/2013/04/23/lime-limey/ I didn't even know that many lime green parts existed?! I thought there was just a handful. The world needs more lime green MOCs : )

    Provided they didn't get into the box with swords and guns in I'd allow peaceful protest

    Ah, thanks Blakbird.

    Appreciate this is slightly off topic, but anyways... Yup, I see that, but I didn't think just putting the copyright symbol on a page actually makes something copy-protected. The symbol has to have something to back it up (not saying yours doesn't, but I've seen lots of MOCs with a © symbol in the corner and there is no way the owner has gone to the copy-right office!!). I thought, by law, that to get actual, stand up in court, copy right protection involves sending original material to the copyright office, proving it's unique, paying some money for the administration costs and getting a certificate etc etc. Or have I got that completely wrong?! The reason I ask is I see lots of people saying they have copy-righted their stuff, because when someone nicks it they get it taken down. In actuality all that's happened is the 'thief' has broken the 'user agreement' with Flickr, Cuusoo or whomever, by not posting their own work, and thus it has been removed. Legally, they have done nothing wrong, and have not broken any form of copy-right. What they have done is broken the Terms of Service. I'm not saying it's right that people take others' work at all, just that 'copy-right' seems to be used a lot on the internet for MOCs, and I'm 99% sure in almost all cases it doesn't exist at all except in the mind of the original creator.

    Hi Paul Just a quick question; you've actually copy-righted every page?! As in, your pages are protected by law?
  18. Ape Fight
    Lol, I'd guess casual blogging. I'm not even sure TBB make money do they?!

    Hi Eurobrickers This has just popped up on The Lego Car Blog: Write For The Lego Car Blog / Get Featured! http://thelegocarblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/write-for-the-lego-car-blog-get-featured/ Has anyone here blogged before, is it easy to do? I've seen quite a few MOCs from Eurobricks members get blogged on TLCB, I wonder if the above is worth looking into? Ape

    Ha! Brilliant! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/the-racist-menace-muslims-declare-victory-in-fight-over-antiislamic-lego-8555610.html 2014 is when it would cease production anyway - very clever Lego : ) I love Lego even more now.

    Hi Blakbird Sorry, personally I do think you are being too sensitive in this case. They're not getting paid to write a description so I don't see it as an issue (although I completely understand why others might). If you'd written a news article for example, say for a local paper or an online news source, and one of the major newspapers re-printed it with someone else's name at the bottom claiming they'd written it (and the thief got paid for it), then I'd see it as plagiarism. I bring this up as it's happened to friends of mine. In this case it's a description of an item, and on eBay, Amazon etc the listings often work by merging multiple descriptions from different sources anyway, so I think just be pleased that you are a source. Hope that came across OK Ape
