If you're talking bout me, I just suggested the topic. I know nothing of the rules, and there's a chance that what I have is ineligible for the contest after the rules are out anyway. And what I have is not a complete model. Even if it happens to be eligible, how might it affect the fairness of the contest or give me an unfair advantage, assuming that's what you're concerned about? I can see that it might allow me to finish my entry earlier, but that can hardly be considered unfair.

Why is this a problem though? And even if it is, there is no guarantee that this didnt happen in past contests. People might just happen to have WIP projects that fit with the contest theme.

I voted. When the captain calls for it, I'd oblige!

10: 10 8: 62: 47: 33: 211: 1

So is mine.

Can I just not? I'm not interested in the current contest or the entries. For the model I'm working on, the original model has motorized functions. If the shrinking involves only to reduce all the motorized functions into manual functions with direct drivetrain, it's not much of a challenge. Shrinking and keeping the same functions and keeping them motorized within smaller constraints is the fun part for me.

I don't see why electronics should be banned. If anything, a shrunk model containing electronics is even more impressive because of the space constraints.

The only diagonal and barely legal way of putting a 3x13 curved panel is between 6 studs high and 12 studs long, and that quarter piece doesn't have those dimensions.

Hooboy what is that humongous quarter eclipse liftarm piece?! Does it signal the coming of XXL panels in Technic?

I think the front axle uses the new differential simply because it can be driven through parallel gears.

Front suspension: Front axle drive: Steering axle Full drive train. You can see that the axles are not connected through any means

Rear axle does have suspension, and the structure looks like below. Blue 9L beam replaces the shock absorber because the absorber isn't available in Studio. This suspension is not a pull rod type and still a push rod one but placed below the axle.

Probably flip flop 7L beam in lime

Are the top of the wheels supposed to be open or empty like that?

I've been shrinking two sets before there's even a scent of the shrinking contest. @Jim Just to make sure, can I enter the contest with two entries?

So, question: For the shrink a set contest, does that set have to be from Technic line? Can I shrink a car from another line? I'm thinking of shrinking the new classic land rover.

So the fabled DBG panels exclusive to the Osprey didn't come... Even the #1 and #2 panels dont seem to appear in this set.

No lol cuz that photo is a model from Sembo bricks, and I just recreated it. I take no credit for it. It should be quite obvious because the small mudguards in Land Rover green doesnt exist. As for real entries I have two more in the closet that I'm not showing any time soon.

I'm also working on a shrunk Land Rover btw.

42156 Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar (18+) - 1775 pieces - 199.99$ Go nuts

I shrunk a set before there's even a shrink set contest lol

Shrink a set coming soon?

You mean quality substandards
