You should put that in your signature. -
Thanks! Hmm... That could be possible... Challenge accepted!

Here's my choices: Other - Size. 3 1 1 1 1 Other - It would depend on whether I needed it. Really, what I most like to see is something nearly identical to this:

Sorry for the bump, but I recently had a few requests for instructions for my Working Mini Lock, so I decided to make some: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-22699/mocbuild101/working-mini-lock

Congratulations to all the winners, thanks to those who voted for my entry, and of course thanks to @Jim for organizing the contest. I'm really happy to see that @m00se got the raffle prize, as I know how much effort he must have put into it to achieved what I could not... BTW, the instructions for my entry should be finished some time this week, along with multiple files of the digital model (for LDD, LDraw, and Stud.io), so keep an eye out for the update.

15: 10 8: 6 6: 4 5: 3 13: 2 4: 1 Like always, it was hard to choose what to vote for, but in the end I found it easier to just pick what I liked, rather than worrying about all the details... Good luck everyone!

Interesting topic, but I don't think subthemes should be excluded, as some themes have far too many subthemes (take City for example) to review them all together. Anyway... I personally don't really like it, but the sets certainly are great for parts - I mean, they are just ridiculously colorful sets, and IMO there's not really much else to say... 6/10 Next theme: Fabuland

Compact pneumatic pump ideas

I'm not quite sure if I understand what you're looking for, but these could be of interest: (both designed by @Sariel) -
Nice! When I first saw it in the entry topic, I thought it was @shadow_elenter's entry!
-
Thanks! I agree, especially when it comes to 9395...

7. Lego 852 Studless Version "Set 852 was released under the "Technical Set" series in 1977. This was the only Technic set released by LEGO® in the first year which did not have wheels on the main model, and remains one of the very few such to this day." - From Technicopedia Now, in 2019, 852 has returned... smoother and smaller than ever before... Features: Full studless construction - not a single stud in sight! Near perfect 3/4 scale (relative to the original set). Accurate collective rotor pitch control - unlike the original, where the rotor pitch is decreased when the swash plate rises. Manually powered drive train - can also be motorized, as seen in the video. Video: See how this model evolved, find links to the instructions, share your thoughts, and more in the discussion topic:

Nice! Definitely going to be a strong competitor in the "Looks" category.

EB Xmas Raffle 2018 - Your Santa MOC winners thread
mocbuild101 replied to CopMike's topic in LEGO Town
My manatee has finished it's big swim to Australia! The minifigures aren't really my thing (Star Wars, Super Heroes, Power Puff Girls), but free Lego is always awesome, so thanks @CopMike! -
Video is done!

I actually kinda agree... I mean, a remake can never be quite as good as the original, can it? Really it's not supposed to directly compete with the original, as they're built in two completely different styles... Also, much of the design is better suited to studded Technic - in particular the rotor assembly, which I found quite difficult to transfer to studless. Anyway, thanks for the comment.
-
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. BTW, I've updated the main post with the photos of the final version. I'll be adding more stuff to it over the next few days, such as some renders comparing it to the original set, and of course the video and instructions (though those will take more than a few days...)
-
Update! The final version is here: Main post will be updated tommorow with more photos and details.
-
Absolutely, I already have it mostly built digitally, and I will be making the instructions as soon as I've finished the entry (photos, video, etc) Expect the instructions to be available in a couple of weeks or so.
-
Personally I think of building a set much like playing a game - you could speed though it just to get it completed, or you could take it more slowly and enjoy each bit of the process. As for how I build, it really depends on the set - if it's small I tend to build quite quickly, but if it's a bit set (like the 42082 I just recently built), I build a bit slower, as I know it will probably take me a few days anyway.
-
Update time again! Just a few more changes: Redesigned main rotor assembly (again). Shortened back of seats by 1 stud. Added small detailing between seats. @Rudivdk Here's a nice photo of the original (from Technicopedia) for a direct comparison:
-
Yes, those would not be allowed.
-
Update! I've had a bit more time to work on this the last few days, and I've made many improvements since the last update: Redesigned and extended the tail slightly. Redesigned the rotor and mechanism/drive train. Moved the whole rotor assembly 1 stud forward. Replaced liftarms on landing skids with connectors and axles. Thickened the red section below the rotor. Next I need to redesign the rotor again, as it's currently way too heavy...
-
Yes, Lego motors are very well designed, and they will be more than strong enough to handle any reasonable* amount of stress. *In other words, they'll be fine unless you're purposely trying to break them...

Generic Contest Discussion
mocbuild101 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
+1 For a limited parts contest, sure there will be the need to prove the number of parts used, but I agree with @shadow_elenter - it shouldn't be hard for less than 150 parts. -
Yeah, I think you're right... I was going for a more modern look/style, but in the end it just doesn't look right... Edit: Now that I think of it, I probably should also also apply the same change to the other places I've done that...
