Very cool layout, detailed without being too crowded. Also, great use of painters' tables as water lilacs! Can I ask which transparent shade of blue you used for the water? And for the layer underneath? Thanks!

Apologies if you felt as being accused. I only described the way your content and its repetition 'sounds to me' and didn't intend to discredit your personal opinions. Have a good day of building :) PS: I would delete personal information such as your income from a public forum. -
This. This is off topic in this thread and reads like a marketing push, especially since every other post you make includes it. Let's please now drop it from both sides and get back on topic. I'm personally going to be happy with more 'everyday' cars in the 1:8 lineup as they might help differentiating features. A V4 engine might give space for... valves? 😁

I'd love that. However it'd be quite hard to make it easy to operate as a play function. Even in a cabrio car it's not so easy as I learnt the hard way Can one also dream of a proper clutch pedal?

Hey, I get that you love those other brands and everyone's entitled to their opinions, but it's a bit tiring to hear you blasting at Lego every other post, it's beginning to sound as if you're paid to do so ;)

The Emira has either a I4 (8 gears) or V6 (6 gears) engine. The only 'interesting' thing that it's mounted mid-mounted and transverse. No other interesting feat to hope for with this car unfortunately.

General Part Discussion
Divitis replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
For small builds, something like the C shaped 3x2 beam/frame with holes in different directions from a few years back is a useful and inherently flexible part (which nobody saw coming). Conversely, this s-shaped beam does not truly open new possibilities, rather simplifies what can already be achieved with two 3x3 thin liftarms and some tinkering with the adjacent structures. -
General Part Discussion
Divitis replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My two cents: New Lego technic pieces introduced in the past 5 years or so are generally great as in they open up new possibilities (visual, mechanical) rather than only simplifying engineering or assembly (making it easier to achieve something thanks to a specialized part). This S shaped beam falls in the latter category. Not impressed. -
Beautiful old school vibes!

The issue with the headlight brick is inexcusable and smells like 'too much digital design' to me. In Studio the part sits flawlessly flush, of course IRL it doesn't.

In case you missed it, you can lower the render quality from the setting panel for faster viewport interaction and switching between pages and sub-models in general

Love this one, it's the perfect balance of aggressive and cute.

Hey @Brick900 only seeing this now. I think it's a very nice project, but maybe you went a bit too far on the texturing. The 1x1 tiles sticking out of headlight bricks, the columns build with cones, the wedge bricks with the 'cuts' underneath... all together they hide the building's main lines, which are interesting by themselves and should get the spotlight.

Thanks all for the support, however what I was really looking for was to discuss was: Am I the only one missing a 'Warm light gray' (limestone) shade or a 'Very dark gray'?

Not enough parts in these retired colors. Which do look more natural to represent stone (but less for metal). And tan on the left and LBG on the right probably, but it feels limited to me. Granted, every year we're treated with one if not two new colors, so one gets easily spoiled these days :)
