  1. Well on Speed Champions cars a full windscreen + side windows + A pillars mold was used. That can be done on a small car(with success), not on a huge 10274 where it would look bulky and not Lego. Proper side window molds need to be done if that is the case of big sets. Good point. Fingers crossed they make some well made window molds so that we don't always have to pretend it's there, or rolled down. They have invested the money to make unique molds for a 7+ product line, I hope they are going in this direction for other themes too or at least for non Technic 18+ sets.
  2. Yeah it does. The Lego Group has also made custom molds to include side windows on all 2020 Speed Champions cars (aimed at 7+) and they are brilliant. Out of scale with city and minifigures, but beautiful. Imagine 2020 Speed Champions cars with no side windows and look how weird they look. "They're there, just rolled down" is a good one, thank you. It does makes sense and it's possibly the way TLG looks at it and wants us to look at it. However, it's to be taken in consideration when you are pushing the high level of detail we have now on 18+ 1000+ parts vehicles, that the absence of one or more window may become evident, and to some people it might make the model look incomplete. This is my feeling. I believe it's time we get all the windows on non Technic sets, or at least on 18+ sets, and if someone wants the "rolled down" look, he/she can remove the window as a mod so everybody's happy with the matter.
  3. Can someone help me understand why some Lego cars that are supposed to be highly detailed don't have the front seat side windows? Notable examples: Aston Martin 10262 VW Beetle 10252 Fiat 500 10271 Ford Mustang 10265 Mini Cooper MK VII 10242 Ferrari F40 10248 Are front seat side windows difficult to make? Am I supposed to pretend it's there, while it's not, for some reason I can't understand? I understand some cars aimed for the kids market can't have this level of the detail, but we are talking about 1000+ parts sets here. I super hate the fact they did not make all the windows so maybe someone can help me tolerate this "feature", or just help me to add windows to the above models and in general.
  4. I tried webarchive but I couldn't use it like it's supposed to. Not sure if it's my fault, if you can use it better than me, the mod/moc was present this summer. Reverse image doesn't work because Lepin has conpletely changed the colours so I keep getting the same counterfeit model and real life bikes. Maybe the creator was angry at his model being stolen and removed it. It was there this summer. Apparently it has disappeared completely from the internet. If someone can go back in time using those archive sites or somehow has the instruction, or ldd or even a picture, it would help. The mod/moc was in Blue and Black like the original 42063 and it was damn brilliant work.
  5. Greetings. There used to be on Rebrickable a beautiful mod for the 42063 BMW motorbike. It was a heavy mod, to the point you could call it a moc which used a lot of 42063 parts. It was featuring some nice Snot techniques and had an overall nice and realistic look, while not derailing completely from the original 42063-a model. Well for some reason this mod/moc has disappeared. I couldn't find it anywhere, then I accidentally found the attached picture. I think the mod/moc was "stolen" and some Lepin or similar brand is now selling it. I am against this. I would like to find the original creator of the moc and pay for the instructions or ldd file, buy the original Lego parts and build it. The colors in the picture are also totally wrong so even if I accepted to buy the counterfeit and "reverse-engineered" it, I would probably not be able to get the right colours anyway, not to mention Lepin or similar producer probably put some mistakes/modifications of its own into the model, ruining it even more. So, if any of you has the instructions of the original mod/moc of this, or the ldd file, or is/knows the creator, or has any information about it, please let me know in the discussion or in private. Thank you very much Miragent
