  1. Better question is who quit or got shafted by the management...
  2. Braid for fishing rods is used with ceramic eyes for a reason as it cuts the chrome eyes. As long as you had a pulley for each change of direction no lego should be harmed. Sorry for the off topic post.. P.s. loving the trucks keep up the hard work. Matt
  3. Given the layout of the eicas and a few other things this is supposed to be a 400 series. Might want to amend some bits... Kind regards matt
  4. Don't stick your fingers in any moving or non moving part. And lockout tags and padlocks..and never never trust any one with the on switch.... otherwise goodluck. I did baggage maintenance at Heathrow international...
  5. Sorry sentimental. I owned a yamaha trx850. Which of you google is a tube framed parallel v twin. (270 degree firing order. Great bike. You could be close to building a replica. Kind regards matt
  6. Wow. Cool. Very well done. On my build list for 2021.
  7. What I would love to see is the mechanics of how you packaged it all very compact. Very well executed moc. Functions and style. Well done.
  8. Hell yes.. good to see you building Clive.
  9. Not my hobby (non drinker) hence I have money for lego and racecars.... just no time for mocs
  10. In the grand scheme of things injection mould making these days has dropped in price quite a bit. Sure there is a different in a mould that will run millions of parts verses one that will run hundred thousands... I have a couple of moulds that have run over a million times from china. A third of the cost for the same mould made in nz. No one will ever win a price/production war against china. Sorry about the off topic... regards matt
  11. There are some very impassioned arguments. The one thing I would like to say to all builders please don't stop creating as it's always nice to see mocs of all standards and styles and to add to my bucket list of one day... Unfortunately my job and life do not leave me many hours for lego. So as someone always looking in it's nice to see. But also certainly I feel comments should be positive ( we do live in a touchy feelings world but also look at the diverse range of cultures on eurobricks slang in my language could be highly offensive in another. ) I'm just a simple truck driver ( haha yea right some of you would say)... Kind regards Matt
  12. No... I have reversed engineered a couple that madoca made but never released files as not my intellectual property. From the photos and a few good guesses I'm pretty close and with a bit if time and patience you could do it.
  13. Someone who has managed to reverse engineer effermans trailers. This certainly is on my wish list.
  14. Or those who just work hard put in the long hours. I'd love to be able to sit down for a couple of hours and lego....
  15. Eurobricks needs a thumbs up like icon... I like it
  16. You think that's bad wait till you build a double woop scissor front end....in real life...
  17. There are parts of both that I like and probably would build a mix of the two. Try the 2x2 dishes the ones look not right.
  18. At 23 meters bumper to bumper it's the longest proforma combination inside the nzta virm. Those are 15 meter stems. My trailers I can do stems or longs and shorts. Though I can remove the log forks and bolt container locks on and move standard height containers. As for old school street racing. Light weight mx5 first gen (na) with ford serria rs500 running gear. The engine was built to similar specs of the dick johnston racing cars. This was 1996... so 500kgs lighter and 120bhp more than a stock r32 gtr.. will find some old photos
  19. The only one change would be the tail lights. They need to be red. One of the very few tail lights that ever passed me..
  20. I found while living in the states, and maybe it was just me being a hick backcountry boy...that it is a huge shop at home culture (mail order catalog style ) as the brick and mortar shops held very little. Unless you travelled a great distance to a specialist shop. Currently sitting on a log skid being loaded. You can tell I'm bored... Anyway after much direct searching the 42108 in the states seems to be only on Amazon or Walmart but very expensive.
  21. Eurobricks sometimes needs a like button. Liked...
  22. Here is a suttle hint... warehouse tend to ship stock to stores generally five days in advance. However generally I'm a tight megablocks and wait for sales or use the warehouse price beat.. Ironically I was in plamy on the weekend picking up one of our feller bunches..
