I agree. Its amazing all the things that can be done with modern parts, but I do love the old stuff. Simple, functional. Like square pistons.

Here is another older one (something like 1978-1980). This hails from the instructions of the 8860 Auto Chassis (there may be other references to it). Its an amalgamation of sets 950, 955, 870, 871. I needed something to pick up with the crane, Classic Space to the rescue!

Serves me right for posting at night. You're right.

First topic. Mostly a lurker. Its not new, or shiny, but it brings back fond memories for me. From the Ideas Book 8888. Something to keep me busy while I wait for parts for other projects. Mostly original, a few slightly yellowed, a few are new. Just for fun, I included a comparison with a 42009. Technic has come a long way since 1980.

I've never explored product photography. My understanding is that it needs/works best with a "lighting setup" and I have a single flash that I'm not very good with yet (for quite a while, I was limited to no-flash photography, either because I didn't have one, or the venue didn't allow flash).

Hello, I'm Louis, from the US. I've been dabbling in Lego since the early '80s. I like most things Lego and enjoy sneaking technic capability into all kinds of models. I sometimes do photography and computer security. Computer Site, Hobbies Site, Photography Site
