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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hi folks, just letting everyone know that sport balls are available on Pick a Brick for 66 cents (at least in Italy). LEGO® Pick a Brick | LEGO® Shop ufficiale IT Maybe everyone knows about that, but last time I looked they weren't there.

It's a veeery interesting look, fully smooth if not for those exposed holes. It gives off a vintage vibe to me, almost as a modern interpretation of a classic model team set, only with holes exposed instead of studs

In the real life version, there is nothing. That controls the shifting of the racks, their 'eccentricity' The input is the banana gears, which one would have to spin by hand. Not super practical but I thought it'd be enough to see if things are working before complicating things even further. Yes. My bad again. For now the simplest solution is replacing the 7L axle on which they sit for a 5L one and leave them without bracing at the top. Given things move slowly it should still work. I also noticed I only included one bracing/stopper for the 7L rack (the white 1L liftarm). Another should probably be placed on the other side of the 7L rack. Thanks! Kudos for your patience :)

Oh poop! Quite a basic case of 'building digitally where everything is stationary'! I only put them there to support the banana gears from below, so if you feel they are not needed, toss them away. Otherwise, maybe they can be moved to the last holes of the dgb flip flops maybe? Very glad to hear the progress on this. My Lego is still all in moving boxes!

I'm really sorry that's proving to be an issue, I thought 4 gears in that configuration would mesh smoothly enough, and in theory they should, no? Are they too tight?
