  1. I do admire your resolve. It is indeed frustrating when you give it all and the reaction is 'almost'. But that's exactly the difference between a MOCer and a designer. Not doing 'what's possible' but 'What gives fun and excites'. Keep up the good work!
  2. My two cents, big fake. Look at the corner slopes that form the roof. The one on the left has a weird bend while the one on the right overlaps the flexible hose.
  3. But having both skid steering and normal steering on the same model would be a first
  4. Did you see what the new Mercedes is capable of? Would love to see this implemented (although the original uses independent electric motors from what I've heard, a mechanical interpretation would be dope.
  5. I like the underlying idea. Gives people a reason to pick up their display sets once in a while, like changing the seasonal foliage on some other nature themed sets.
  6. I want to believe it too. However for the life of me I cannot see any shock absorber through the open trunk. And in no picture the rear axle is compressed...
  7. The suspension of the rear axle was also interesting, solid axle with ball joint and links.
  8. Very serene memory, and well rendered! Interesting choice to use tiles to represent the 'playground' area and studs for the rest of the beach. I would have probably gone for the opposite intuitively.
  9. To create a surface with more attrition I would lay a fabric element such as a sail over tiles. The challenge might be to keep it in tension.
  10. This is very interesting! To add a complication, you could try adding rotational momentun on another axle as well, and that should have the ball run away on a curved path. One possibility would be to accelerate the balls on a spinning disc, thus giving them momentum both forward and left. Another, to add a tire on the feeder arm, probaby to the right of the ball, so as the feeder pushes the ball out, the lateral momentum is added. Keep up the good work. You make me want to continue working on my centrifugal GBC.
  11. C A P O L A V O R O Please show us the building techniques
  12. 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!
  13. 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.
  14. 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? 😁
  15. 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?
  16. 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 ;)
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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
