Looks like a proper convertible To bad you weren't able to finish it before the deadline. Please, do finish it regardless of the contest.

I think I know what caused this. We had some email issues, which we solved....a bit too well I will look into it.

@TheFunnyMan I am sure you had good intentions, so no worries. Others have made clear what the main problem with your request is. I think we need to leave it at that and close this topic. Agreed?

Yup.

PS I will leave the entry topic open. If someone is interested in going through the posts and see if all entries do have a chassis pic, be my guest. There is still time to correct. I will close the topic by the end of the day and I won't be sending messages to contestants about missing pics. I will simply disqualify.\ So please check your entry! Or check other people's entries and inform them.

Interesting....but no Interesting....but.....hmmmm still interesting! I have closed the entry topic and I will take some time to compile a voting topic tonight and maybe I will go for two stage voting.

These photo's or so cool!! I rembember the days when the old dude used to post boring pics in his review. This is something else!

@Duq great work! So people are still using Brickshelf Your pictures aren't public yet. May I recommend switching to Bricksafe (or simply mail me the images)

I have taken the liberty to edit your first post with the lobster picture, and I have featured the topic (it will be frontpaged).

Hi. Welcome to EB. EB is for adult (18+) members only. We tend to look the other way if you are mature enough. However, please don't advertise that you are under-aged. Can you edit your post and remove the part about your age. And as others have stated, images should not be hosted on EB. I recommend creating a Bricksafe account. You can upload your images there and link them here. Have fun!

(valid question though)

That was a mistake and should NOT happen. It has been removed.

I was actually thinking about that when I typed my response

Lol We have NMOC for that. Not My Own Creation

There's a dedicated topic for the Lamborghini. There's plenty of talk about this

Dark tan would be cool, but that will probably be another single use color.

Could simply be a matter of lighting. I still think it's defender green. Doesn't make sense to release yet another color which is almost the same as defender green.

Those will combine nicely with the Olive Green of the Land Rover.

The bottom one will repeat, the top one doesn't. The top one can be transparent, but it doesn't need to be.

The most simple approach is to create two images of 1800 x 200 pixels. One for the left 1800 pixels and one that will repeat over the x-axis. Be my guest to come up with more fancy stuff, but I recommend starting simple and go from there.

Indeed, it does!

I'm pretty sure Jim will be here soon to tell you that we really don't know

I know for a fact that the Technic designers at TLG are perfectly able to compete with MOCers. But making a MOC is different than making an official model. It makes me sad to hear people say things like "they keep on failing". While you are entitled to your opinion, there are a handful of AFOLs who think the Porsche and Bugatti are failures. Millions of people think otherwise and the sales numbers are there to prove it. The Porsche was in TLG's Top 10 a couple of years ago. Nuff said. And the funny thing is; most of the people who think it's a failure take pride in owning one. Or they can't afford one and that's why they say it's a failure. So the Porsche and Bugatti are perfect sets?! No, of course they are not. But let's be happy that TLG releases these kind of sets. And if you really don't like them, simply fork out 500-1500 euro for a MOC on Rebrickable and start complaining directly to the designer. Amen

I stand corrected.
