  1. I think pick a brick might go into meltdown with black and red half bushes
  2. Air Jacks! So 4 pneumatic pistons or just a gear wheel and some axles? This feature needs to be fast to simulate a racing pit stop. so fingers crossed for pneumatics
  3. Thanks but they only have up to Octobers parts I thought the image might have new parts for November?
  4. Is it possible to share the image not using imgur or PM me? As imgur refuse to add age verification to there site so can't be viewed in the UK
  5. Also from the same set is the black z12 not seen since 2002
  6. New Elementary has a new Technics parts review https://www.newelementary.com/2025/07/parts-review-august-2025-lego-technic.html Some very useful recolours in Red and Black coming out
  7. Also I think there is one or two red ones behind that which has not been seen since 2000. Also OCD alert they have miss aligned them on the axel
  8. With all the new suspension parts this year, a multi link suspension might be possible and compact. Wish they would make some super hard mini shocks
  9. The all now on the official Lego store as well now. Can some one clarify is the Bronco standard red as it seems a bit darker than the Ferrari FXX or is that the black parts fooling my eyes?
  10. The new engine mount part is not as good as i though having just seen it in the Ferrari. Its a stud less version of the old part but at least the bottom part is a bit smaller so should fit better. The inclusion of axle holes should open up some other ways to attach an engine
  11. The new engine mount part looks like it could be useful outside or the engine. It seems to be a double bent lift arm with axle holes at each end at 45 degree angles? Also it now doesn’t have the bottom part you can mount a gear flush to the pistons blocks and place a beam on the outside which should help to make engines more compact and more places to mount the engine.
  12. This has already happened on the Europe Pick a Brick there was a post on https://www.newelementary.com/ Back in November but I can't find it any more about the changes. For Europe at least they have expanded the warehousing in Poland and I think they have now finished moving all the parts from Denmark so there all in one place now. This part was missing before Christmas 6452854/4423 (new wishbone from the P1) but now is available.
  13. Thanks definitely some good things to look forward too
  14. Do you know how big they are and how they compare to the new P1 wishbone 6452854? As they have no tow-ball connection will we get a new hub or how will they attach to the wheels?
  15. Lego has posted more pictures on their site and interestingly it also has pneumatic functions
  16. If it is a G wagon be first time a Technic model will be curvier than the real thing
  17. This is a B model for the Peugeot 42156. I have wanted to make an Audi R8 for a while and with all the grey pieces from this set I thought it could be possible. It was a nice challenge to try and create the Audi shape from limited parts of the Peugeot. And I hope I have captured the major features of the R8. I have had to simulate the 4-wheel drive as the two differentials spin at different speeds and to prevent damage to the pieces I have placed a pin connector as a fake differential. You can steer the car via the steering wheel and HOG steering, the latter can also be removed for a cleaner look for the model. Due to part availability, I have chosen a street race concept with carbon fibre bonnet/hood and roof, with large rear spoiler. I know the R8 is a V10 but I hope you forgive me for a V6 The doors can be opened, and the bonnet/hood can be lifted to see the suspension. This is my first time creating a B model and I hope you like the results. The instruction can be found here: Audi R8 Quattro - B model for Peugeot 42156 Features and Functions: · opening doors, bonnet/hood · independent suspension · HOG steering · 4-wheel drive I think the area around the engine could be a better angle but I didn't have enough long beams left I think the front is not too bad.
  18. That knob gear is going to be so useful, many times i have had to use three to get the right position now it can be done in two and no more two z16 gears which are off centre. so happy . I bet we will see this in the paddle shifter of the new super car or the gear box seems perfect for that.
  19. Hi thanks for all your feed back, This was an attempt to get better at making a more curvy model seems more practice is needed. I have added a belly shot and one with out some panels so you can see inside a bit more but it's not the most interesting I do always build for real then make the model in studio. I would love to have more photos i just don't have the space to set up a photo stage and lighting is poor as you will see from the videos (I didn't know how to add YouTube to Eurobricks i though they needed embedding turns out its just a link) This was an old blanket and a very fixed camera angle so you cant see the carpet but any suggestions or tricks i can employ to take better images are welcome. Yes it does have a bit of a lip problem but seeing as the real car that's where the bonnet opens from i couldn't think of a way to hinge it. Again due to the way the bonnet opens the grill area was shallow to add a nice grill a printed part would have been nice or if Lego made a 3x14 panel but this is where I ran out of talent. The bonnet on the original is a giant U shape that also has to taper as the body gets narrower towards the rear wheels I tried more large elements and curves but it was very flimsily. My design philosophy is that its Lego so it should be strong-enough to be played with and i hate it when you pieces of body work come away in your hands just by touching it. This is an issue of Stud.io It's collision detection is not great/ overly strict (depending on what your doing) Where real plastic will have a bit of flex once a part has its been designed in Ldraw its 100% accurate but as far as a 3D render is concerned it might as well be made of steel. So you kind to have to fudge it. There are may little issues like that and i could point to many more floors. Definitely don't look to closely at the rear wheel arches . I could probably sort some of them out with a lot of tweaking but as with all things in life it's a time / cost calculation.
  20. This is my version of the Ferrari Monza SP1 & SP2 in 1:8 scale. There are two models in ‘one’. I designed this model to be played with as well as look good on a shelf like a proper Lego set should be You can get he instructions here Features and Functions: · opening doors, bonnet/hood and boot/trunk · independent suspension · Akerman steering geometry · 8 + N + R sequential gearbox without the need for a drive and reverse selector (inspired by Anto) · paddle shift gear selection · rear-wheel drive · detailing on the interior, virtual windscreen and engine Dimensions: Length: 73 Studs (59cm); Width: 35 Studs (28cm); Height: 17.5 Studs (14cm) Weight: 2.8 Kg
  21. It won't be cancelled. Far more likely with the fact that it is on pre order. The reviews are intentionally late as they rightly suspect they will be fairly negative due to price etc. They hope enough pre-orders are placed before then and profit. Same as Nvidia only allow reviwes on the day there launched and how some films suppress review until tickets are sold. Do you think Lego would stop a set even if had a flaw? They would just issue new pieces to fix it and revise the set later they have before. Like Wall-E and the floppy head problem.
  22. Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but the new Lamborghini in on the UK site https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/lamborghini-huracan-tecnica-42161
  23. Hopefully for the same reason the legendary 8868 did. They want to add the function and the set has one motor and compressor.
