    Thanks for this great review showing the potential of the PFx Brick! It looks to me like a must have for most truck MOC + I had not imagined so many possibilities with the LEDs.
  2. WvG_853
    I see that @Sariel is listed as tester of the PFx brick. If his review is in time and positive, it could bring the necessary publicity for this Kickstarter campaign.

    Maybe have an article on the front page?

    Thanks! I will follow the posts here with much interest. I have always found the scale model posts the icing on the cake of the Technic forum, but let's see how it works out ...
  5. WvG_853
    Fascinating! Looking forward to the instructions and your next creations... ;-)

    Is there a way to stay informed of the Technic and the Scale Modeling sub forum at the same time? I have found the daily digest mail not to be very reliable ... Personally I think it is a shame to split the Technic forum into two fora. The distinction between Technic models and scale models will often be arbitrary in my opinion and there is a risk of diluting the discussions. On the positive side, logically there will be less activity in this sub forum and the great contributions will be better visible ... Just my two cents ...

    I like the fact that you are using old school Lego Technic tyres. It is just the finishing touch for me ...

    Another smart brick is in the making. Jason Alleman is one of the persons behind this initiative. This time the emphasis is on sound and lights. More info on Kickstarter: PFx Brick More info on: http://fxbricks.com/

    Thanks for the tip! Hesitated because I'm not really convinced by the model, but ordered it nevertheless. @Sariel's review convinced me that the building experience is worth it. Let's see ...

    Thanks for the instructions! :-) Really looking forward to building this. Looking forward to your next creations ...

    Wow! Impressed as always with your creations and I hope to build this one day. Question: Have you considered changing the back of the cabine from red to white. I'm not an expert on trucks, but I think esthetically it would give a bit more of width to the truck cabine.

    I saw it on Rebrickable this morning. Nice! I like how you solved the issue of the drum wheels.

    Another impressive motorcycle from you. I prefer your rendition much more than Lego's official model. I know the approach is different, but nevertheless... I like in particular the boxer motor (very realistic) and the seat. The whole shape is very well achieved. It is instantly recognisable. I'm less convinced by the chrome parts. I think they do not suit the bike. Have you thought of alternatives for the glass wind shield? Keep up the good work!

    I would nevertheless recommend this set. I don't know your reason for zero interest in this set, but I think from a building and parts perspective it is more interesting than the two sets you are citing. There are also some interesting C-models including a GBC module.

    This really is a classic and I'm glad to see you are still tweaking it. Building it is on my to-do list. I am interested in instructions for the sbrick version, but I will probably stick to the red (or blue) version. Out of curiosity: although the standard battery pack fits greatly in the design, have you considered using the smaller battery pack? Would this not give you a bit more flexibility and potentially hide the battery pack completely?
  16. WvG_853
    Always fascinating to see the progress on your builds. Thanks for sharing! A question concerning the accessories such as the bar stools. Do you fix them to the floor or are they posed freely. I love your eye for detail, even the lounge beds have chromed feet! Out of curiosity: Have you ever been asked to build a sailing yacht?

    Appropriate to have this discussion in the Technic pub ... I admire your courage of speaking out. I would look for professional help. Alcohol is a hard drug. Simple motivations like think of all the sets you can buy if you do not use the money for alcohol are probably not strong enough in the long run. Take care!

    Check out the C-model index in this forum, @Tomik has a great collection of amazing C-models on his site: http://buildinst.sweb.cz/instructionsen.html, @grohl has created a series of fantastic alternative models. Enjoy!

    And yet another GBC C-model of the 42054 by PV productions: http://pv-productions.com/product/lego-gbc-14-strandbeest-module-42054-building-instructions/

    The reference for the train power supply is 4548. I bought one for the same reason. You will need indeed as well an extension cable.
  21. WvG_853
    I would not want GBC topics to move to a separate Forum. As I'm only following Technic related stuff I would miss out on GBC discussions. +1 for better Search!
  22. WvG_853
    I'm blocked with version 3. Waiting for access to version 4, I started building the Claas. Will try again in a week of two. By the way I like your GBC variation very much.

    It is the first time I see these shameless copies of Lego sets. Quite shocking! I have no issue with sets that make use of a few non-Lego parts that do not (yet) exist such as RC tyres or 3D printed wheels, but out of principle I would never use parts from illegal Lego copies. Lego could consider offering certain parts in multiple colour combinations independently from their use in sets. Like this we would be able to order the parts officially and build our own black, yellow, red, blue etc. Porsche or Scorpion cars.

    I suspect that Lego does not want to cannibalise the sales of the great 2016 2H sets, that is why the 2017 2H are targetting a different younger audience. Time and sales figures will tell if this strategy works out. I'm pretty sure we will see the worthy successor of the Claas in 2018 2H. I do not think some discussion/criticism hurts. A forum with only fanboys would be rather boring.
  25. WvG_853
    The pictures and videos have confirmed my initial thoughts: I cannot see me buying any of the 2017 Technic sets. I have nearly all the Technic flagship sets and would characterise myself as an obsessive collectionneur, but no thanks! Really disappointing ... On top of that the mentioned prices seem outrageous to me. Luckily enough I still have a great list of MOCs to build. Let's hope 2017 is just an off year and not a structural direction Lego is taking with Lego Technic!
