    Exactly! I would feel the same way. Thanks! If you are also into other themes, you might see more of them soon

    I agree with Allan. Although I really like the third one as a normal MOC, from the contest point of view (official Technic) I would go for the second version.

    I am not a great builder, so I wouldn't know But I have been thinking about writing a review for such a model. For example the Technic Snowspeeder.

    Maybe we can do a Micro Machine Theme Month after the contest. This would make a nice MOC for that. You've managed to make a very well looking model with very few parts
  5. Jim
    I do like it a lot. And your parts picture is an example for other contestants! I might use it as an example.

    Very nice video review!! I did like the build, but I must admit that there's nothing spectacular. Great to see the Train remote is doing a great job. Would be great to have a special remote for these kind of vehicles. I will add a link to your video review in my written review, if that's okay with you.

    You could use Bricklink to order different wheels. Won't be that expensive. And you are definitely joining the contest mister!

    Great! Will take a close look when I get home tonight

    Interesting topic. Will get back to you later (little time right now).

    I love it! Very original and well executed.

    Hi Bruno! Welcome to EB! Nice of you to join. Technic is actually one of the biggest and most active themes on EB I will move this topic to the right forum now.

    Though one. I don't think this model would make it as an official Technic set, but it is an example why I accepted Model Team at first. It's definitely more Technic than Model Team.

    Hope you will join more often, because this is a great entry!

    You did understand the rules correctly and I allowed Pneumatics. So go ahead and use Pneumatics if you will. But the purpose of the contest is create a mini model that's as close to an official mini model as you can get. Imagine your set being designed and sold by LEGO.
  15. Jim
    I would be suspicious if you didn't

    Back in the days, the sets contained a lot less parts than the recent ones. But according to my own rules; this would quality for entry To make a comparison; this was the flagship in 1984. 347 parts! And this was the mini set (no pneumatics):
  17. Jim
    Because we are looking for an official Mini model and none of these ever have pneumatics. That's why I disallowed PF and other electronics. So in all fairness; I should indeed have disallowed Pneumatics, but I didn't The Mini sets look like this and normally they contain around 150 parts. I have increased the part limit a bit, but this is still the kind of entry I was expecting. Or something like this: Or this:

    Okay, so recap. Cutting tubes is allowed Official available lengths only (so it reflects the actual available tubes, see bricklink) Every tube counts as a single part, so 10 tubes is 10 parts Something like this? Or should we just ignore the available lenghts rules and allow every length. Agreed, I shouldn't have allowed Pneumatics for the mini contest. But since I already allowed it, we need to work this out.
  19. Jim
    I tend to agree with you, but it can be interpreted in multiple ways. If TLG provides a single tube to be cut....it's a single part in the inventory. So we need to find a consensus on this matter. I can vaguely remember cutting tubes in an official set.
  20. Jim
    Cool
  21. Jim
    I would love to see what you've come up with. You can create another topic and we'll discuss it over there
  22. Jim
    If others agree to this I am willing to let it go. My point was that the model could be made without cutting things, but pneumatic tubes could be an exception. And all tubes together count as a single part or every tube is a part?
  23. Jim
    By all means....make this one a full version with more than 200 parts Always love your transforming models. I'm pretty sure you can think of something else for the MINI contest.
  24. Jim
    The other day I was thinking about a full fledged PF remote control for Technic and possibly for Trains. Something like two PF remotes joined together, but with a proportional controller, a (return to center) steering wheel and maybe some on/off buttons instead of levers. Would be a nice addition to the current PF components. Still need to test the train controller. Hope I don't forget it tonight
  25. Jim
    Sounds like a nice idea to have a several topics for different concepts.
