    Some of my models are being sold as sets with Covid-19 bricks too. Recently someone contacted me on Rebrickable (in Chinese), asking if I wanted to work for a brick company. He was very persistent. I declined of course.

    I wanted to read everything first, before I would reply. So I did, and I think this is the first time since 42056 that I read a full review. It's a pleasant read and I agree with practically everything you say about this set. Your photos are excellent! I bought this set, because the new power up parts were a must have for me, simply because they are new. They are big, but with the attachment points they offer, they can be used to add rigidity and coherence very easily. That makes them very versatile imo, and this characteristic was also essential to my B-model. I feel very honored that you built and showed my B-model. It was a pleasure to make it. The limited number of parts made it a real challenge. You have to believe me that I still know the number of pins of all types from the top of my head .

    Maybe the different crankshaft makes a difference. Anyway, your version is still worth sharing. Thanks!

    It seems the acquisition of Bricklink by TLG has some consequences. I received this email the other day:

    Nice idea, using half pins as pistons is not new though. @Attika used it in a small fake V6.

    I decided to share the 3D files of this model. Stud.io file and LDD-file. Note that the LDD-file has placeholders for the biscuit-pieces (sand blue) and has some displaced parts (sand green). It should be fairly obvious where these parts belong. The sand green 3L axle with end-stop at the bottom of the front axles is used to slightly lift the 20t gear above it with its end-stop.

    I just entered. Thanks for the extra time!

    19. Mad Nomad Shortly before the apocalypse a fully electric concept vehicle was developed, which carried the name Rocky II. It was ready to be taken in production, but the apocalypse crossed out that ambition... After the apocalypse, survivors found the remains of the Rocky II prototype. The batteries had turned useless because there were no charging points anymore, but an old 7.8L (478 cubic-inch) GMC V6 engine was installed to drive the vehicle and charge the batteries at the same time. Mad Nomad saw its first daylight... Functions Control+ controlled 4-wheel steering and rear wheel drive 2 working guns operated from within the cabin under the hood Fake V6 engine with working pistons and working valves More images here.

    I turned sick on sunday and have been feeling a bit shaky the last few days. I managed to finish things today, but the video is a bit shaky too and I did not have the chance to make outdoor footage (the weather was terrible anyway ).

    I received this email the other day. Is this the influence of TLG on bricklink?
  11. Didumos69
    Few days. That's awesome, thanks!

    @Jim, I have all the parts, but had no time to finish my build because of a skiing vacation. Is there any chance we get a little more time?
  13. Didumos69
    One of my favorites so far. The finery is not overdone and the integrated taxi is very MadMax-ish.

    It's not my blog. I made a study into this once. You can also look at it as if it were a dodecahedron with sliced off (truncated) edges.
  15. Didumos69
    You made yourself a non-vertex-transitive vertex-truncation of the icosi-dodecahedron by a rhomb-triacontahedron. If you make the pentagons in the image below smaller, the hexagons will be more close to regular hexagons like in your model, but they will never be regular. (Source)

    I appreciate your efforts to further improve this model, but in this case I doubt if this is an actual improvement. I can't imagine the 2L thin levers would actually touch the surface of the frame, not even under stress. The round end of the lever has radius smaller than 0.5L (0.45L to be exactly), so the axle would need to bend quite a lot to make the levers touch the frame. The depth of the smaller levers on the other hand, is exactly 0.5L and the depth of the thin bevel gears is slightly smaller than that (because they need to run smooth even when they have only 0.5L space). So imo using the thin bevel gears instead of the thin levers would slightly increase the chances of slipping gears inside the body differential.

    Almost forgot about that. Need to find time for that too

    Final design done. I am now awaiting ordered parts...
  20. Didumos69
    Thanks @scooper22, @amorti and @Philo. I will try to incorporate this in the instructions, using stock parts only, but that won't be soon. First need to finish my TC17 entry.
  21. Didumos69
    Thanks @amorti and @Philo for the suggestions. It would help me and probably also others if you could illustrate your modifications with some pictures.
  22. Didumos69
    I tested this for myself years ago: The 6.5L can compress 1L and the 9.5L can compress 2L.
  23. Didumos69
    Just to be sure I would check it with @Jim. Regardless of whether it is allowed for the contest or not, I think it would have been appropriate to mention the source when you copy such a large section from another MOC.
  24. Didumos69
    Yep, the front axles are a direct copy.
  25. Didumos69
    Correction, it's in fact a 7.8L (478 cubic-inch) GMC V6 engine: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_V6_engine
