Gray Gear

Yeah FR its neither funny nor productive, its just clickhorny bs

@JaBaCaDaBra Mould King has already released a new large Bulldozer of their own design a few days ago, so I think it is very unlikely they'll attempt to copy the LEGO model too. It seems to me like the chinese don't care about anything LEGO does exept the supercars anyways. And they don't care about C+, that's for sure.

I know they are not exacly the same wheels, but they would fit, right? White color available: GoBricks

@msk6003 all I was trying to say is that arguing that someone is not going to win because the shipping cost to his country would be too high is just plain stupid. Of course some Eurobricks users might be voting for people they like on Eurobricks, but that's unavoidable I think.

@dickylaban what are you talking about? @Milan already said that he is paying for the shipping costs himself, TLG has no influence on the winners of this contest

I don't want to complain about the contest, I know a lot of hard work went into this, and I appreachiate it. All I will say is that a Jury of only 2 people isn't really ideal. Just know that all your entries are awesome! Depending on who you ask the winners could have easily been completely different.

I used front wheel hubs for the rear suspension of my Nissan GT-R MOC as well, and it really is way better. More space efficient and especially stronger because the wishbones can be 5 suds apart and not just 3, using the black wheel hub pieces is overall just a superior solution imo. Nice progress, that longer panel on the door curve makes a huge difference, looks clean.

I always love when I click on a Topic expecting to see a MOC, or at least some WIP progress, but instead its another "yeah I havent built anything yet, but I am planning to do this and that" Topic. Honestly, just wait until you have some progress to show that is actually interesting, and then open a topic for your MOC. A wall of text with no pictures or anything else is just not interesting, no matter how final MOC might turn out.

I like both, it depends on how the author of the MOC is presenting it. WIP topics can be great if they show interesting progress with something written too, and can really help to bring a MOC to the next level. On the other hand WIP topics can be really boring if the MOC creator makes a seperate update for each brick (exaggeration), or just posts pictures with no text at all.

Overall I agree, but it still depends on the MOC. A MOC can be great, and the price can be cheap, but if not many people are interested in the build itself sales will still be poor. Lamborghinis will sell better than citroens for example

A very interesting idea. Well done! I like the rear suspension, I am glad you do things the right way!

@Oliver 79 I don't think you know what "the dark side" is... 3D printing LEGO compatible bricks certainly isn't. Buying other brands like Cobi or Cada make you a "gray jedi" at maximum, as no laws are broken and no designs are stolen. Only when you get to straight up LEGO copy sets or stolen MOC designs things are getting "dark", as you are really doing something "evil"

I don't know what event you are talking about, but it doesn't matter to me. I don't live in Korea, and I doubt there are very many korean members in this forum. As far as I can tell the majority of users are located around US and Europe.

30: 10 18: 6 17: 4 33: 3 19: 2 4: 1 Thx for your hard work guys, I wish I could give some points to all of you

Very cool with the raising drivers cabin! Just out of curiousity, in those 1.5 years, how many hours a week do you think you worked on it?

I think the gearbox idea is cool, but I don't like the shifter. The gear is free to shift around on the axle, that's not good. Why not put a liftarm on each side of the shifter gear to move it, instead of pushing the axle from its ends?

@Mr Jos just click "edit" on the original poast

Its a weird ride but kind of cool that it works using pneumatics

Working pop-up headlights! Oveall the bodywork looks pretty nice. Maybe a bit more bubble-ish in the front and the roof because of the curved panels, but I think that's okay. Only thing I really dislike is the door. Where a massive air intake should have been the door just looks cluttered. I hate these " oh there is something there - I guess I'll flip the panel" solutions. I have seen it on other MOCs before, and it never looks good. Put on some effort and model a proper air intake, using some system bricks if you have to. Looking at the rest of the car I am sure you can do it. Sorry If I ended a bit strong there, but that just really ticks me off. Thx for sharing!

I didn't say to skip the gun, I just suggested to not mount it in a turret. Like a Tank Destroyer style body. Alternatively a ATGM vehicle could work as well, because It would make the missles look more fitting than on a tank, and you could fit a lot more ;)

Wow, very impressive entry! Only thing I dislike is that the rear windows are covered up with black bricks. This might just be the entry with the most functions

Sounds like a fun little project! But why would you bother to model a Turret in the first place, if you already know it will not be able to rotate? I'd go with a "Jagdpanzer" (Tank Destroyer) style superstructure. Take a look at the StuG III, Jagdpanzer IV or even the Jagdpanther I would especially recommend to place the battery box somewhere low between the tracks to lower the center of gravity. It would also allow you to drop down the missles a few studs, and it would look much nicer too.

Yeah, and I think that's their own fault. Printed BI's would have raised that 20% for sure. When I was a kid I didn't have any device at all, so I didn't get access to the digital B-Model instructions. But I did build the few alt builds that did have printed BI's.

I would love a pin like this with friction

@Tenderlok as you have said correctly Creator style sets without any functions do not belong here. I don't know what's so crazy about that. There is no problem accepting a boat with a working crane for example, or a plane with retractable landing gear. Machinery is the same case, if there are some working functions there is no problem. But Monuments?! And other functionless models don't fit. Yes, there are other kinds of builds that also take work and look good. But no, that does not mean they should be shown to Technic&Model Team users that are not really interested, just because there are a lot of users here. Some themes just have more followers than others, that's the sad truth. I would recommend Instagram or other plattforms to those users, where there are more users in general.
