    Original and quirky. I like it! Something we don't see all the time.

    I think it's beneficial to receive constructive criticism like we do here on EB, because there's a lot of AFOL communities where there is an absence of any criticism, and while this may make us feel better as builders, it doesn't help us improve our skills. One of the benefits of having so many avid Technic fans in one place is that us aspiring young builders can learn a lot from those that have in the hobby for years upon years. I do agree that hypercriticism and nonconstructive critiques tend to detract from the community. However, I think most of us have good intentions when it comes to criticisms. We all want our models to be their best As far as self-promotion is concerned, I attribute it to the fact that it can be really hard to understand someone's tone and the intention of their words just from a block of text. Online we lose a lot of the inflection one might pick up from a face-to-face conversation, and this can make it really hard to distinguish between healthy pride and brash egocentrism, so a lot of people may come off as arrogant and self-righteous when they're just really proud of what they've done. Then of course there are some people that are actually arrogant and self-righteous, but that's a different story

    Absolutely stunning! If I'm disappointed with TLG's version I'll blame this

    Very nice! I love seeing these smaller models.

    Wonderful! I guess the real trick is controlling it. I would love to see more done with this concept in the future. Also, kind of irrelevant, but we have the same door mats

    , that's part of what makes it Lego and not your average scale model IMO. Makes it unique, even if we aren't all satisfied

    Looking good so far, I personally like that you're using a studded frame. It really makes your model (or what you have so far) unique. Can't wait to see five-axle suspension! Are you using live axles? I'm still learning the technical jargon. +1 on that decision, it's nice to see something that's not your run-of-the-mill construction yellow.

    Looking very nice! The hatch is a lovely idea, and will surely save you some pain later on.
  9. jwarner
    Same here. Guess we all had the same idea

    Looking very nice! I love how much functionality you've managed to cram into this project

    Are you planning on putting a working fake engine in the compartment?

    42077 strikes me as being a good mid-range introductory set, but yeah it does little to please experienced AFOLs.
  13. jwarner
    Very impressive!
  14. jwarner
    Wow, so much love for CLAAS! 42054 has been at the top of my list, but I think finding 400 more pieces for the same price is what put 42069 on my radar. Some good parts, too. Probably right ;-) And since CLAAS is retiring soon I think I'll spring for it first. True, and PF never hurts the argument :)

    I just started getting into Technic and I'm starting to buy sets both for parts and to learn some techniques. I already have the Arocs, Heavy Lift Helicopter and BMW bike, and I'm looking to buy another. I've decided on either 42054 or 42069, both of which I've found for about €105. In your opinion, which would be the better buy for me?
  16. jwarner
    Looks fabulous, congrats! you beat me to it, just started one of my own today
  17. jwarner
    Ahh, I see it now, read right over that
  18. jwarner
    Like the look of it so far, what do you have planned for the gear shifter?
  19. jwarner
    Totally agree, dissecting these models before we lay hands on them diminishes a lot of the "wow" factor that makes the building process so enjoyable. I personally like a few surprises along the way!
  20. jwarner
    Definitely not, but an internal axle hole will make pneumatics much easier for MOCers to control by remote as opposed to having to motorize the actual switch itself.
  21. jwarner
    Do I smell RC pneumatics?
  22. jwarner
    So what kind of applications are we going to see with this valve?
  23. jwarner
    Not so sure about all-wheel steering, the box only shows steering on the front wheels. Wouldn't TLG want to show it off like with the Claas and other sets with all-wheel steering?

    Hi everyone, new to EB. I'm working on a mod for 42052 and I need to link the switch to the battery box to a driver shaft I'm adding in. The driver shaft needs to shift to the left gear when the switch moves right, and vice versa. I also want to be able to operate it from the battery box switch rather than another switch. Everything I've come up with so far is either just barely off or not strong enough to force the driver gear to switch. Any ideas?
