Pauls Technic

I am a big fan of this :)

Recently I purchased LEGO Technic set 42101 Buggy. From the LEGO Website: “Children get double the fun with this super LEGO® Technic™ (42101) Buggy set. Let young imaginations run wild as they recreate the thrill of powering over sand dunes in their Buggy. And the fun does not end there! The toy Buggy cleverly rebuilds into a sleek toy Racing Car for kids to bring even more adventures. A LEGO set with lots to discover Hot colour scheme? Check! Skull stickers? Check! Working steering and suspension? Of course! If you are looking for feature-packed action toys that kids will love, this awesome set has it all. Buildable toys to help kids develop new skills LEGO Technic building kits are ideal for LEGO fans ready for a new challenge. These vehicles look and drive like the real thing, so kids will love building and playing with their creations. Each set comes with printed instructions but there is also a new way to build this car toy with Instructions PLUS, available in the free LEGO Life app. This interactive guide has zoom and rotate viewing tools to help even younger children build this cool engineering toy. Here is a fun building challenge for kids who love racing toys! Build the Buggy and recreate an off-road adventure. Then rebuild into a Racing Car for even more building and role-play fun. With working suspension and steering, this action toy set (42101) creates an interesting building challenge. It promotes problem-solving skills, and there is plenty of opportunity for imaginative play too. The 2-in-1 design means twice the fun. Kids can build the Buggy, then rebuild the model into a sleek Racing Car. Once built, kids will love playing with their creation, or enjoying it with other buildable toy vehicles. Kids who love action toys will have plenty of fun building and playing with this Buggy. This educational engineering toy makes a great LEGO® gift for boys and girls aged 7+ who enjoy racing toys. Once built, the Buggy car toy measures over 5” (13cm) long, 2” (7cm) high and 2” (7cm) wide, making it ideal for role-play and a super addition to any existing car collection. No batteries are required for this Buggy car toy, so the fun starts straightaway and never slows down. Printed instructions are included for the Buggy plus an online PDF for the Racing Car. This model toy set also has Instructions PLUS, available in the free LEGO® Life app. LEGO® Technic™ building kits are ideal for kids who love to build and are ready for a new challenge.

They are consistent, compatible, and easily connect every time – it has been that way since 1958. LEGO® Technic™ pieces are tested to the max to ensure every one of the model toy sets meets the highest global safety and quality standards.” The build process was short, 15 minutes and it is finished. The Buggy is a very nice set. For $15.95, it is great value and a great first step into LEGO Technic, bridging the gap between normal LEGO and Technic. It looks cool (which is important for the target market) and has some basic Technic functions such as steering and suspension, it is the perfect way to bring in these concepts. I really like this set; it feels like a modern-day version of 8832 which was the first LEGO Technic set I ever purchased.

Well done all, it was great to see all the entries.

I have just posted my entry :) https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/178218-moc-concept-racer-c-model-42022-tlcb-lock-down-competition/

Recently I have been working on a c model of LEGO Technic set 42022. After sorting all the pieces and looking around for some ideas, I decided to try and build a race car of some sort, below is the end result. This is a C model and only uses the parts from set 42022. My "Concept Racer" features: - Steering which is connected to the steering wheel in the cabin. - V4 engine, driven via the rear wheels. - Opening cabin roll cage. - Adjustable rear wing. Overall I have spent about 10 hours over the past few days designing and building this. I am also entering it in the TLCB Lock-Down Competition. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/177451-contest-tlcb-b-model-competition-win-an-sbrick/ More photos can be seen here: https://paulstechnicblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/moc-concept-racer-c-model-42022.html

Awesome work as always.

Awesome, I will have to enter.

Update - 27/05/2020: Last night I spent a good few hours on this, after many redesigns I now have the bin lifter working as I want and I have added a function to tilt and empty the rear body. The next step is to add some more body work to this and the truck body. I have also in the process of starting the design of my next attachment, a crane arm.

The Modular Truck Attachment System (MTAS) is a system I am designing to allow different truck bodies / functions to easily be added / removed from a basic truck setup. Below are some WIP photos.

Now that is very cool, excellent work and looks just like it.

LEGO Technic Shelves Today I have purchased these shelves to store my LEGO Technic sets and parts. For a $50 investment, they keep them all safe and also have a spot to store my parts containers.They also pass the "wife approval" factor.

Welcome to the forum, I am from down south (Tasmania)

Welcome back to the hobby :)

That looks very cool, a great level of detail.

This is one set which I am giving a miss, your review has just confirmed this.

As a first post, that is simply amazing.

Thanks. I post on my blog then was doing a copy and paste, now I need to add the link to each photo one by one.

42071 Dozer Compactor is one of the best small LEGO Technic sets I have built. "Capture the awesome power of a real-life dozer compactor with this 2-in-1 LEGO Technic replica, featuring a host of realistic functions and details, including a driver’s cab, working blade and steering, and realistic hard compactor wheels. This advanced building set comes with a fresh blue, gray, black and orange colour scheme with stickers for additional detailing. Rebuild to create an Articulated Truck for a double build-and-play experience. Product Features:Features a driver’s cab, working blade and steering, and hard compactor wheels.Check out the awesome blue, gray, black and orange colour scheme.Also includes a set of stickers for additional detailing.Steer the Dozer Compactor into position, lower the huge blade and get ready for an awesome display of power!This LEGO Technic advanced building set is designed to provide an immersive and rewarding building experience.2-in-1 model: rebuilds into an Articulated Truck.Suitable for ages 8-14.Dozer Compactor measures over 3” (10cm) high, 7” (19cm) long and 4” (11cm) wide." This set has 171 pieces, nothing too exciting in this. Once complete, the model looks really good, mostly due to the contrast between the blue of the body and the orange and grey of the blade. Due to the small size and limited parts, it only has two functions, turning the body and raising and lowering of the blade. I built this set in under 30 minutes tonight, the reason being that my son who has just turned three years old has shown a bit of an interest in my LEGO Technic. This is a small set he can play with, without the risk of doing too much damage to it. https://paulstechnicblog.blogspot.com/2020/05/mini-review-42071-dozer-compactor.html

Following on from my Urban Turf tractor MOC, I have created three new attachments for this. This attaches using the normal mounting point and uses the rear control knob to raise and lower them.These again only uses the pieces from set 42079, making it part of this C model series. Field Plough Grader Blade Track Rake Full Collection - C model of 42079, these were all built using only the parts from this set.

Thanks, I will share how it comes along, I am planning on using this as a base for some different attachments / bodies. I found the issues with the photos, I will use a different process in the future so they appear right on mobile devices.

I love seeing all these mods.

I am not a bike guy but do really like this.

I have loved following the progress of this, the results speak for themselves.

I really love the time and effort you have put in to this, again it is simple amazing.
