After careful deliberation, this is the verdict. No for separate models. Yes for car with trailer (measured from front to back) No for taking things off the model. Like Tomik said; we are making things too complicated. You really need to get off that Island once in a while -
I must admit that I enjoy reading posts like this And this
-
That is the valid way to calculate! I am discussing the rules as we speak. I will post my definitive answer in a bit.
-
This is basically the same as adding the volumes, since all three combined need to fit in a single box of 10.000 cubic studs. But I agree we need to keep this simple. Let me think about it for a bit, before I change the rules (again).
-
No problem. I have just received confirmation that Mostlytechnic received the sets. His reviews will probable be published by the end of the week. I guess that leaves something for dessert
-
You might have missed this Please don't embed images larger than 1024 wide.

I have changed my mind. Go ahead and do the three part build. You can add the volume of each of the bounding boxes, so the total will be the sum of three parts. A trailer is allowed too. To be clear; taking parts of a model is not allowed. (unless taking off parts is done in the real world too) Two separate builds (like car and trailer) is okay, but taking a model apart to fit the box isn't allowed. (unless taking off parts is done in the real world too)

I will be reviewing these six sets: 42044 - Display Team Jet 42046 - Getaway Car 42047 - Police Interceptor 42048 - Race Kart 42050 - Drag Racer 42052 - Heavy Lift Helicopter These two will follow later this week. I have sent them to Mostlytechnic but delivery took longer than expected He is quite capable of writing good reviews, but obviously he will need some time to do it properly. 42049 - Mine Loader 42045 - Hydroplane Racer
-
Tomorrow is the 1st of December?! Then I better start working on those reviews
-
I'm simply saying that every gearbox I know, switches between two modes and neutral You can look at every set from the past couple of years, Mercedes, Helicopter, Crane, etc.
-
Agreed! As a rule of thumb, a simple gearbox has three modes, switched to side A, switched to side B and neutral

[HELP] 42009 - Next Logical Step
Jim replied to PauloS's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi Paulo, Nice pics indeed!! If you like this model, go for the Ultimate version! -
That's a difficult question Mr Wolf Basically I am not against it, but I have declined a request for taking off parts of the model. I know this is different, but it's still a thin line. In order to keep things fair, and since the contest wasn't meant to make three separate models, I think it's better not to allow your request. If people think otherwise, let me know.
-
The main problem of not having restrictions, is that people will enter the competition with an existing MOC. That's something I'd like to avoid as much as possible. For me, that takes away the fun of running a contest. That's why I try to change the restrictions for each contest. Feel free to respond, I will move this "debate" over to the general contest discussion later tonight.
-
The majority of the people here seem to like different restrictions for different contests. And I like to see people leaving their comfort zone. In my opinion this results in more variety. If you don't agree with this, feel free to discuss this in the General Contest Discussion topic. No they don't. That's exactly why you don't need to use them

It's that time of year again when the days get shorter, the nights get colder, and children all around the world stare longingly into warmly lit toy shops and prepare their wishlist to send to Santa. If you like to read more, head over to LEGO Town and read Oky's excellent review of the rereleased Winter Toy Shop!

Too bad. I think you are able to deliver something without PF. What's wrong with using a manual pump?
-
Like Milan said; no electronics this time. Not even a pump. All manual.
-
That sounds interesing! Make it so
-
Thanks! If I ever move my collection to a new room, I will make sure to make a wall just like yours.
-
Very nice setup VFRac...uhhh....Edwin!! Where did you get the storage containers? They sure look convenient.
-
Good question; I think using the same stickers is better. This is how TLG does it most of the time. You are right about the dimensions. Each model can have it's own bounding box.
-
Yes we have. Not sure where though. I think I applied stickers to the same part which is used as wheel cap. But I doubt it was used as wheel cap in that particular set. Maybe in a Star Wars set?!
-
I'm cool with some studded beams and panels, but NO model team finish. I forgot to mention that in the rules. Sorry if that hurts someone already started. I have updated the rules.

Nope
