  1. Thank you, where else would my color vomit go...
  2. Before everyone says the rating is high, I dated this against the sets in this price range.
  3. Nice job! I think this is a good set from what I have seen.
  4. You're welcome, that is cool to hear. I guess I give it a high opinion, because I haven't really own many sets.
  5. It has a good, boxy look that resembles older trucks definitely.
  6. Thanks from you! I did help with the body, but the hood was all his idea.
  7. Ohh, those are like that for some reason when he worked on it. I don't have the car, and can't access him all the time, so it won't be modded yet. They would still protrude on the a pillar anyway, unless we added a connector version come to think of it. It is a 8 studs from the top to bottom.
  8. As i write this, maybe you had read my review of the 8069, if not please check it out! The model: a Jeep Wrangler from 1999. I designed the chassis and mechanics, my friend did the bodywork and interior design. IMO we did a great job of the design and body, besides the small stresses HOG steering Steering wheel in cockpit Hood Rear area, spare tire not included. seats, adjustable. Now the pictures: Please leave a comment* *The collaborator has a you tube channel: His channel
  9. A friend's entry, not exactly a Christmas tree, but i wont argue with him.
  10. Alright, this is long overdue. I have seen a regular review of this set, but it's pictures are not able to be seen. I hope you like it!* (just A model build, i didn't like the B model) Stats: ** Set name and number: 8069 Backhoe Loader Release: 2011 Number of Pieces: 609 Recommended Age: 10-16 Amount of Models: 2 (instructions on the Lego website for the second model) Lego.com Price: 59,99EUR / 59,99USD / 49,99GBP Price at cheaper stores: ~45EUR To start the review, I want to say think very highly of this set. The building experience itself was great, but the mechanisms are beautifully engineered. However, no review is complete without pictures: Highlighted parts: 4 Linear Actuators, 4 huge tires, and a massive bucket set the tone for the set, along with a 5x7 frame, and a smaller bucket add to this set well. Random page: Starting the build: parts container*** Steering: deplorable angle. Bucket tilt / steering, one of the smartest things on the set, along with the rear section. it has three different axles running through at the same time, bucket tilt, lift, and steering. Steering HOG / rear controls, the other smart thing i saw in this build, and uses little space. It looks super short, until the end of building. Close up: Front taking shape: I love how the little system parts add so much, and used sparsely. Rear attachment: slightly modified. The rear arm: great mechanism, auto curls the bucket. Finished model: ain't she a beauty! one of the best models i own! Verdict: Design: 9/10 Steering angle is bad, i easily modified it with 4 half bushes (one each hub), and the backlash in worm gears is horrible. Styling: 10/10 Love it! the system parts, and very little color vomit (black pins would be icing on the cake). Parts: 10/10 Great starter pack, with the 4 linear actuators, huge bucket, and tires. Playability: 8/10 While it's functions are great, the rear arm is hard to easily move, with the worm gear on the side, and knobs on top. Building experience: 9/10 The only thing i hate is the mirror steps, otherwise 10/10! Overall: 46/50 Not much to complain about, it is nearly perfect! https://bricksafe.com/pages/aventador2014/review-8069 *I Bought this used, with 3 bags missing. it has 6 pin wheel, Yellow axles, and new kind 99773's instead of 2905's. **Copied from an original page. *** Original box has severe damage, so no picture.
  11. Very nice! I saw this before but never commented, I wish I had!

  13. If you haven't already, i would get a Flickr or Bricksafe account. Very interested to see this, hope it is good.
  14. What a great work you have there @agrof and @kbalage! If I have the money sometime, this is near the top of things to build.
  15. I think they are fine here, and they look great!
  16. I meant you could allow it to disconnect the RC components.
  17. so, will it be able to run manually too?
  18. I actually have one of those watches from a young age, I occasionally think about it sitting there, to be made into a clocktower.
  19. I would maybe be interested in the tracks/sprockets, but not much else.
