  1. Frictionless pins have accurate round hole, while blue friction pins have something squarish. Flex axle will fit in both, but using tan pins doesn't require strength. Conncetion with tan pins is weaker too.
  2. Very cute entry, one of my favourites)
  3. Small update: - W12 piston engine, - sligtly increased wheelbase, - yellow chairs. W-shaped engine is much more complicated than V, so i used not single crankshaft, but three) I think that it looks now as valves driven by 3 camshafts, but not a pistons. Anyway i like how it looks. And more important - i like how it sounds, i already spent at least 30 minutes just driving around kitchen table and listening to it. Here's some insides, if someone like to see. Nearest plans - i want to hide exhaust somewhere between wheels and engine, not so cool, but more realistic; it's possible to make handbrake or/and clutch, so i'll add some more functionality; and i want to move HOG somewhere.
  4. Nice roadster, and i like roof folding mechanism.
  5. I've seen another implemetation of same idea. Yes, i want to make something exactly like this)
  6. Wow. That cabin/door combo looks so nice) Waiting for updates.
  7. I dont know where i will finish, but this is what i have now. I plan to build some rear engine supercar. Now it have: - working 4 cylinder engine, - differential, - HOG steering, - double wishbone front suspension, - not a perfect steering pivot, but at least it's not outside of wheel, - almost live axle at the back. Current volume is about 6000 studs. Lime arrow is for turntable, red arrow is for rubber connectors acting as springs. All this is actually far away from real supercars, but results in one nice thing - ability to roll while cornering. I locked one side of front suspension with axle just for photo. Here you can see that nice body angle) And, as you can see at this photo - 4L axles with stop increase width of vehicle too much. 3L axles with stud cause friction or/and increse turning radius, so, i already wait for new 3L axles with stop) Close view of rear suspesnion. I want to replace 4 cylinder fake engine with V12 - it will suit sportcar idea more. And another function that i want to add - gullwing doors with small actuators. Or not gullwing, i don't decide it yet) Having small turntable + 2 small actuators in A-model can lead me to make some tractor with some cool device as B-model. May be they both will be Lamborghini, but i doubt these wheels will fit for both)
  8. Yesterday, when i was making my TC9 entry i found that i really want this new 3L axles with stop - two of them will save 700-1000 studs volume for me) When this set will be released? 1st january or later?
  9. This will be fascinating if many of couplings are chained in one large machine. But only red #3 connectors will do the job)
  10. Jim, thanks for review) Now i really want two copies, and not for tumbler wheels. It's just crazy set, so i like it a lot)
  11. Nice to see new competition. Thanks Jim) I hope i'll find enough time to participate
  12. My first thought that first photo is a real truck for reference) Great shots, nice MOC. How do you make that waterproof container?
  13. TLG introduce 3 new molds for 2015 year flagship. Why they cant introduce new mold for 2016? I dont think they will introduce smaller conveyer, so it may be another reference point. BWE will need at least 2 conveyers at least same size.
  14. Impressive at this size. And i like how bodywork sculpted with only one panel used)
  15. It's very sad that white panels with yellow stickers used in yellow colored jet model. I have enough white panels, but still miss yellow(
  16. Wow! Very nice sculpting. It will be nice to see more shots from other angles.
  17. Stunning. Doors opening mechanism is what i like most. Incredible build.
  18. Excellent small car, i really like this scale) It was really fun at start, and evolving to something better and better. Old front looks better as i think, adding any transparent bricks will make it shine anyway. Is there any way to change upside-down 5x7 panels at sides to 3x7 vertical panels?
  19. Maybe TLG want to show us how to make proper steering with this wheels?) Before Arocs release nobody (or almost nobody) believe that TLG will make driven and suspended axles with double tires, but they did.
  20. Hmmm... dragster will be fun to play, if equipped with 3x hardcoupled pullback motors plus some ratchet mechanism. Bang! And kitchen table is out of race)
  21. I see at least 37 panels in that helicopter. After few very cool c-models of 42039, sets with large quantites of panels have more value for me.
