  1. @degenerate There are no functions included like that, so you either have to monitor the pressure yourself, or it is possible to make a pressure shut-off valve using a small cylinder, a red or blue rubber band, and a PF switch. Sariel's handy-dandy Unofficial Lego Technic Builder's Guide 2nd Edition will give you all you need to know. My pneumatic parts are currently in use, otherwise I could show you how the set-up works. Sorry.
  2. I agree, that IS worse! Can't wait to see the finished racer!
  3. Another nice review! I think it is proper for this model to be in the forum. @Ludo Visser I was also tempted to point out that the Command Module is covered.
  4. Really cool model, a great upgrade over the last edition. The addition of PF is awesome. Are all wheels driven? Or just the two axles without steering?
  5. @Mr Smith LEGO Models Thanks for sharing the LDD files!
  6. Wow... Another great model. I cannot believe there is a sequential gearbox in there... How did you fit it in?! Along with the brakes?!
  7. Impressive model. The parts use is awesome, and the design is very original. I must say, it almost looks too sleek and smooth to be a Corellian freighter... Good luck in the contest!
  8. I also think this excellent model should be placed in the Technic Forum. It is a beautiful rendition of the Dodge Challenger, especially with the full interior, which is rare. Welcome to EuroBricks!
  9. Looks pretty good. I know the real thing is pretty squared off, but having the straight line of the top of the seat is a bit too much, IMO. I think at least a small angle is needed in there, probably on the end of the seat, like in the first photo.
  10. Looks pretty good so far. Maybe change the tracks, so they look more those on the half-track, and move them forward a stud or two. Are the red beams placeholders for other parts? Or will you be using those beams as the claws?
  11. Awesome!!! The color combo is unusual, but it looks great. The sheer size is impressive, but all the functions, plus the two vehicles, and the use of the old magnets, just makes it next-level. And it drives really well for the size! Epic!
  12. FINALLY!!! LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! RoN FOR THE WIN!!!!!! Does the city(s) have a name for us to use?
  13. Awesome!!! Do they use the same internal structure as Lego ones?
  14. Interesting idea, I like the concept. Couple of questions: 1. How much backlash does this system have? 2. Did you use blueprints or a scaling mechanism? Because the engine looks like it is too tall for the car... Otherwise, cool idea, I like the direction this is heading. Can't wait to see the finished product.
  15. Probably going to stir the pot with this... But I will add my two cents. I am (barely) old enough to remember the good old days, when creator sets where exactly that. A mess of parts that allowed you to do what you wanted. My very first Lego set was set 4026/4027. Quite small, only 100 basic elements. And it was my favorite. This was followed by sets 4096 and 4098 for Christmas. And I played with nothing else for the next four months. And then, on my 6th birthday, I received Designer Sets 4888 Ocean Odyssey and 4506 Deep Sea Predators. I got in trouble on many occasions for being put to bed, and, 15 minutes later, turning on the light to keep playing and building and having fights between submarines and sea monsters. And that is what Lego has forgotten. They have forgotten to include inspiration. The instructions of these sets have PAGES, yes, PAGES!!! that show other creations specifically to inspire you! That crucial element, inspiration, the cornerstone of Lego, has been buried, washed away, and left out of the equation in the sets of today. And thus the house will fall. Now that I am older, Technic has become my favorite theme, and from growing up building anything I could imagine, I will be going to college next year looking to earn dual degrees in aeronautical and mechanical engineering. And as I try to build my Lego collection, I am disappointed. There is too much being produced, and in poor quality. The sets I mentioned above? They have instructions for at least 5 models! Usually more! And photos of another 5 models that don't have instructions!!! Why is that still not done?! Today, I look at the Technic line on the store shelf... And I sigh, and I turn away, and I leave the store empty-handed. I want the old sets. The sets that were one color, usually red, and had three stickers maximum. The sets that were affordable and fun. Today, I shop for used Lego on ebay. I cannot afford to drop $200+ on one set. I usually don't have more than $250 a year to spend on whatever I want, not just Lego. And if there no good sets under $75.... Then I won't buy them. @The LEGO Company: You need to return to your roots. Walk the halls of your museum and your Lego House and find what you have lost. And then CHANGE YOUR WAYS. Just the way I see it as a young guy, who is not quite yet a jaded, bill-paying adult. Feel free to differ in opinion. And I apologize for opening the Technic can-o-worms...
  16. Pretty good Charger. The body might need a few tweaks, just to polish it, but overall, well done.
  17. FREE instructions are now available on BrickSafe!!! Enjoy! @Kodan Black Now you can fix it yourself, Mr. OCD.
  18. Wow! This ship has incredible shaping, the design is super smooth, and it plain looks awesome! Excellent model! Gotta say, I love the view of the engines. Those fins...
  19. Just saw this, another excellent model. So many details, and a lot of functions.
  20. Worth it in IMO. It looks good and drives really well. The turning radius is great.
  21. Instructions are now available! LDD file
  22. That is really cool. Nice improvement over the older model. Video is great!
  23. So far so good. Maybe its just me, or perhaps the perspective, but the hood seems a little bit short...
  24. Looks even better now. Is the performance better? I will be visiting BrickCon, but not showing anything. Cannot wait to see this in person!
  25. Nice start! Back window and fins looks perfect! Any special bits planned for the chassis? Gearbox?
