  1. This looks like a fine model, but I agree it doesn't look like a 100 euro set. Feels a bit steep. I like the backdrop you used for the review. And a nice review overall. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
  2. While you are right, you never know what you will find in the Wastelands. Better safe than sorry
  3. I’d say you can’t go wrong with some killing equipment
  4. I'm really happy you are posting your questions. I was afraid this contest would be without me saying "the answer is stated in the rules" Anyway, max three pictures (like the rules state hehe). You can combine several smaller pictures into one picture, but I recommend simply posting three clear pictures and post any extra pictures in your discussion topic. Happy holidays and happy building!
  5. Merry Christmas! Building LEGO during Christmas....what more can you wish for
  6. Not if you support it with something.....maybe wheels (of course, it depends on your entire setup)
  7. I have changed the closing date to the 24th of February, so you will have two full months, and a bit, to build something cool.
  8. You can reinforce this construction with small wheels, depending on your setup. Basically what Doug posted, but with a longer liftarm and wheels driving over panels or something.
  9. You are more than welcome! Sounds like a plan! You can definitely use PP wheels in the wasteland. Maybe I can set the deadline date a week or two later btw. And yes, it's quite open-ended this time. Go nuts, have fun!
  10. Basically you can build any type of vehicle, road warrior style. Actually, we prefer made up vehicles instead of copies. Allowed third party parts are in the rules. But to answer your question; no clone brand buggy motors.
  11. This sounds about right AND a contestant.
  12. Cool. I was afraid that I didn't have to answer all kinds of difficult questions
  13. I knew you guys (and gals) would be excited
  14. The contest has started. Sorry for the simple promo image. I didn't have Photoshop available. I will update it later. You can build a mini auto for the wastelands
  15. That is exactly the idea And you know what....I just found some cool prizes
  16. TECHNIC MAD MAX CONTEST - INFORMATION TOPIC After several years of nuclear war, mankind has managed to wipe out humanity as we know it. Well, almost. Around the globe, survivors struggle to build an existence. An existence, where survival is dependent on having a proper vehicle. DESCRIPTION Build yourself a vehicle to survive the wastelands of a near-future post-apocalyptic world. Road, sea, air, whatever you think is best to improve your odds for survival. DEADLINE The deadline date is Monday, the 24th of February 2020. The contest will be closed on Tuesday, the 25th of February, OR LATER. Disclaimer: I will close the contest when I see fit, and when I have the time to process the results. This can be later than the deadline date. Please don't complain about this not being fair and all. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following section describes the contest-specific and general rules and regulations. But before that, please take notice of a simple motto regarding the Eurobricks Contests: CONTESTS ARE FOR FUN!

  18. That is what I was thinking about. It does feel a lot like TC7 (Bandits vs Enforcers), but if most of you are cool with it....I'm cool with it
  19. My two week holiday has started. Which means a lot of Eurobricks time. Which means we definitely need a new contest
  20. The pub is for non-LEGO related stuff. We do have a Technic General Discussion topic.
  21. For what it's worth, I have dealt with the same situation...twice. Feel free to drop me a PM if you want to talk in private.
