    Basic supply and demand my friend. They’re only being smart about it. EDIT: Wait you’re in support of it aren’t you? Yeet finally someone else :D

    I wonder what kind, and whether the supposed orange engine fanblade seen in the original leak has anything to do with it.
  3. Bartybum
    Yeah something tells me this isn’t an MK build, otherwise we’d see MKIV written on the side

    On one hand slewing could very well be controlled from the chassis, but that would mean it would be faster going one way, since the source of the spinning axle would be rotating too.

    I understand your point. I think 42054’s slack steering, 42055’s bad performance and 42056’s gearbox left a sour taste in my mouth. Thinking about it more I’m probably on the fence about dual mode steering - it would be nice, but only if it worked properly and without major slack, alongside the axles being driven. If there isn’t a way of doing it then I’d rather they didn’t. I don’t like the idea of putting in functions that only somewhat work, because that to me just seems sorta half-assed. I could also call sticking with standard functions half-assed, but we’re already getting driven steering for 42082, which is a big plus.

    To the left of the H6 gearbox (behind in the photo) I see a red Bohrok eyepiece. It seems strange to put that there, so methinks it could have something to do with slewing the crane.

    I don’t get why people want Claas steering modes in this. 42054 had massive slack and play in its steering.

    To be fair you can’t expect people to go digging through absolutely every designer interview. That’s not a very simple task to do, just so that you can post a comment on a thread with some new questions. I think those questions are really interesting and I’d love to know the answers eventually.

    @Cumulonimbus You see I really like the panels on the side. The sloped one gives it this modern downwards sweeping contour that I think suits a modern crane design really well. @Jim I want to bring 42009 back up BUT ONLY because this is super relevant to 42082 (if it’s not acceptable then by all means please delete this paragraph) By now I’m borderline beating a dead horse about the suspected lifting capacity, but I just noticed that from the close up of 42082 the gear ratio between the clutch gear and the winch appears to be the same as in 42009. This has me worried that we might actually not get good lifting capacity . Thoughts anyone?
  10. Bartybum
    Actually, thinking about it, the clutch gear is driven from the outside, then geared down even further, so it might actually be a really tight clutch mechanism.
  11. Bartybum
    Yeah look the odds of it being “prelim” are next to none. Adding a second extension to the boom is a huge change. What we see is what we’re gonna get, as has almost always been the case. Ah crap, there’s a clutch gear attached to the winch. Get ready for abysmal lifting capabilities...

    Never anything more than an optical illusion.

    Nothing really pops into mind other than: 1. What was the most challenging part to design (both functional and aesthetic parts)? (Lego designers) 2. What was the most fun part to design? (Lego designers) 3. How did you get into the design industry? (both Lego and Bugatti designers) 4. What do you enjoy about your work? (both Lego & Bugatti designers) You could also ask how much input was there from the Bugatti designers for the Lego model, although I’m pretty sure the answer for that will be “heaps” As for specific questions, I’d like to know whether they tested the build with other colour combinations before settling on what we’re getting.

    “I was just upset about the website because I used to get a decent amount of replies per post and now I usually get one.” You pretty much contradicted yourself with two comments. From what I can see you reposted the topic to get more people to comment on it. Anyways, I’m curious to see what you’ll do with the build
  15. Bartybum
    Don’t build for the recognition, build because you enjoy it.

    Is that a vertically aligned exhaust set? That’s awesome :D I wish they were bigger though
  17. Bartybum
    This looks interesting
  18. Bartybum
    @Ngoc Nguyen In part 2 I just replace the black 4L with a 5L with stop

    The only hint we’ve had of PF 2.0 is the controller and receiver in the new City train sets
  20. Bartybum
    Looks awesome! I’d make the rear lights protrude out a bit more too
  21. Bartybum
    Oh lordy, I’m not sure this is a good idea hahah
  22. Bartybum
    Those orange panels at the rear should be one stud lower and flipped upside down I reckon. By doing that you’ll leave a horizontal notch sticking out at the back that you can put rear lights on.

    A 1:38 scale minifig means a human is 152cm high. That isn’t right at all. It isn’t really at scale if we go by a minifig being the same height as a human. A Y-Wing is 77ft long and a human is 6ft tall - that’s a ratio of 77:6. If we apply that ratio to the minifig height we get 51.33 cm for the length of the Y-Wing to be in perfect scale. 75181 is 61cm long. That’s 18.83% larger than perfect scale. The 75172 Rogue One Y-Wing is 41cm long, which makes it 79.87% the size of perfect scale, or 20.13% smaller than perfect scale. Both are out of scale by effectively the same amount, just in opposite ways

    I assume you have 42054 given the red wheels and Claas tyres. Why didn’t you use the Claas hubs?
  25. Bartybum
    Hmm, the nose looks a good length. I’m digging the body shaping. However, the rear window has something that the 42056 Porsche had that I wasn’t really a fan of, which was the straight beams. I think they’d look better if they were bent flex axles, that way you can have a nice curve towards the back. Also, I can’t help but feel the roof is about two studs too high. Other than that, great work!
