  1. Whenever I dabble with this sort of thing I either make it so that the top suspension mount is on a piece that can rock into one of two positions and come up against a stop so there is no load on the actual mechanism, or I’ve used a 24? Tooth cog (the one with the four pin holes in) and mounted the top of the shock in the pin holes and then driven the cogs with a worm.
  2. That looks like the beginnings of a Victorian time machine.
  3. Likewise. I was perusing this forum whilst in the loo and it caused a premature “nip-off” when I zoomed in on the cab pic and realised that it was Lego.
  4. Thats easily the nicest looking hilux Toyota have ever made and you’ve nailed it bang on.
  5. I’ve had a similar issue of late but have a solution that might work well for you in that the angle of the wheel is completely adjustable and it fits within the parameters of what you’re building. I’ll upload a pic tonight after work.
  6. What an incredible amount of features. Maybe this would work better as a generic 8880 style supercar than a specific model? Then you could just make bodywork that looked cool and fitted everything in without the constraints of having to follow the lines of the Bugatti?
  7. I really like the shape of the back of this.
  8. Pick up a used bucket wheel excavator set. That seems to be pretty good value for money in terms of stockpiles of parts.
  9. Brilliant! Grown-ups arguing about a toy and the box it comes in. Keep it up, it’s hilarious.
  10. For me, the technic or system thing refers more to what it does than what it’s made from. A non functioning sculpture made of cigs and lift arms is far less technic than a car with working functions and clad in system. For me this Lancia is about as close to perfect in small car form as you can get. I tip my hat to you sir.
  11. I really like how you’ve taken a very mundane vehicle and with really good technic functions and an eye for lines and detail, made this. I think it’s brilliant.
  12. Fantastic! Is this the same as the polski fiat?
  13. I’ve been following this on Flickr. Really nice build. The type R looks like it was designed using Lego anyway so yours looks bang on!
  14. That’s a really nice looking chassis. Lots of freedom to put a variety of shells on it.
  15. Could you do drive whilst swivelling by using turntables to mount the wheels then running the drive directly through the centre line of the turntables? Then you could steer as well whilst moving
  16. Forgive my ignorance on this but is there an app available for the iPhone to use control+ on MOC builds. I got 42099 for Christmas and the hub and motors are sat gathering dust.
