PFx Bricks
WvG_853 replied to WvG_853's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have not yet had the opportunity to use the PFx Brick, but the following news could be interesting for PFx Brick owners looking for interesting sounds: The BBC makes available more than 16.000 soundbites in WAV format. See here: http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/. Here is the article in the Dutch newspaper NRC: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2018/04/20/duizend-en-een-gekke-gratis-geluidjes-van-de-bbc-a1600282. -
Wow! Another great GBC module. As always with your creations the finishing and level of detail is perfect. The midular dials fir instance and the fact it works with two as well ... I have not grasped how the counter works, but I will look again ...

Mine is also waiting to be picked up. I have to pay 33 euro ... Slightly lower VAT in Luxembourg -
42083 - Bugatti Chiron
WvG_853 replied to Jurss's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Unless it is a mistake, the Lego site indeed mentions 1st of June: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/technic/bugatti-chiron That is a surprise! 2 months earlier than expected. I will still wait for the price to come down, but am looking forward to the reviews ... -
42054 or 42069?
WvG_853 replied to jwarner's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Amazon.de has some very sharp prices on Lego Technic for the moment: 42069 for 90 EUR, 42078 for 115, 42068 for 60 EUR, etc. If you look however for the price of the 42054 you see that it explodes. Buy it while you still can! -
42054 or 42069?
WvG_853 replied to jwarner's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Definitively the 42054. It is a real classic. It is interesting to build and there is a great C-model by @M_longer. The 42069 is one of the few sets I own that cannot excite me despite the on paper interesting features. I think the colour is the reason. There is an interesting C-model of a helicopter where the colour works fine. Enjoy! In the end you will end up owning both ;-) -
Wow! Another stunning build! I like how you systematically build in Lego Technic figure scale and include them in the excellent pictures of your builds. I hope that this will not be your final build and that we can see more of your great creations in the future. From my experience building Lego Technic is like a mindfulness exercise that allows you to escape from your sorrows and subconsciously think of solutions. Take care and I hope to see you back here in form with another great creation!

Just checked, but the Chiron has simple plain doors, no gull-wing or scissor doors ... -
Technic 2018 Set Discussion
WvG_853 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have recently build the two Ferraris 8653 and 8145 from the Racers series. Although I hesitated buying them because of their limited technical functions and missing suspension, I have to admit I like them. They are cool display models. The LaFerrari Aperta seems like an excellent candidate for this years super car model. -
Smallest Tank Climber
WvG_853 replied to oracid's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I always love your videos! Another fascinating build. -
I do not have the Mack yet, but in my opinion this is a no brainer. Go for the 42043 and you will not regret it. This is a “real” flagship set and a future classic.

42069 - C MODEL
WvG_853 replied to Dyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow! I’m a big fan of C-models, but this actually blows the B-model away! Also the purple of which I’m not a fan on the A-model, works well here. You understand that we will beg you for instructions to be able to build this!- 53 replies

[TC13] bridge
WvG_853 replied to nick97's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Indeed very original idea, but also well executed with the black bricks for the road separated by a white line and the blue panels for the water. I like it! -

Nico71's Creations
WvG_853 replied to nico71's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Your big 2CV is indeed one of my favourite MOCs, but this is a nice surprise! The price for the whole package is indeed decent. I will wait for the MOC to become available on Rebrickable to see how many parts I’m missing for the Black/Red Charleston version. I particularly like the suspension, true to the wobbly nature of the original 2CV! :-) -
I will, but I first have to order some parts including the mechanism!

Liebherr LR 11000
WvG_853 replied to Dawid_Szmandra's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I’m also amazed by the size, the functionality and the eye for detail. Not only of the crane itself, but also of the different Liebherr models that you are lifting. My compliments! -
What a great idea! Thanks for the instructions on Rebrickable! Will certainly build one for my office ...

Technic 2018 Set Discussion
WvG_853 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This would really surprise me. McLaren does not have the Wow factor other brands like Porsche and Ferrari have. I bet on a supercar from the Porsche mother company VW: Lamborghini or Audi. Much more chance of attracting not only AFOLs, but also Audi drivers. -

WvG_853 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I had indeed nog looked at the chair! The scale is of course different, but that gives a good indication. I have decided to rebuild 8416 in the meantime and found this nice Lego Technic forklift comparison: https://thelegocarblog.com/2014/03/04/fork-off/
