Technic 2023 Set Discussion
mpj replied to Dami's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
If the Liebherr crane is set n. 42146 from last year, and the Bugatti is 42162, we are missing 42159, 42160 and 42161. May we expect 3 unveiled sets for summer / October? I also feel strange they released new Technic sets almost every month this year, I'd like to have the same continuity also in summer and autumn -

It looks to be black but I hope it is just a dark photo to highlight the glowing bars. So my hopes are it is dark bluish grey. -

I've built my own version starting from your instructions: it was scaled down to 1:21 scale to fit my other mocs (Mack scale). I like it a lot, thanks for your input! In the model there are 4 not-Lego parts (rear wheels), because TLG doesn't produce them in the right colour.

So we even don't know what colours will be the new summer sets? I'm sure somebody have seen them... -
Hello, I show you my latest build. It is a mod of set 42144. I was really disappointed by the aesthetic of 42144 material handler, but I think that the arm and the turret has been well designed. And I changed everything else. New tracked undercarriage, new tilting cab (not lifting) and new grapple (too look more similar to a demolition grapple). I tried to minimise the use of extra parts at the strength necessary. Instructions are available on rebrickable: here I hope you like it!

42152 - Firefigher Aircraft

This part in yellow suggests me it will be very useful to shape excavators' counterweights -

It looks more like a reskinned version of the car included in the car transporter. It's almost identical to my eyes! -
[MOC] futuristic lamborghini
mpj replied to Bony_em's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Flex axles for the windscreen are the best solution in my opinion. I also like the color (medium blue?) and I prefer LBG wheel covers. -

I mean, the orange connector cannot rotate in the 5L thin red liftarms! -

How can it steer? -
42147 Dump Truck
mpj replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In your solution you have an axle on the top, instead of a pin, so that would not consent connection to the liftarm. -

Yes it looks like that, otherwise the 2 pins on the bottom would have touched the ground. -

There are some interesting plastic low-profile wheels in 71780 that could be used in small technic cars (but no axle hole may be a downside) -
Nice variant! I've bought the instructions for the wheeled version and planning to build it with some little mods.

Yes I understand what you mean. Maybe a 4x4 dish inside the black rim?
