This looks really rough. Is it the colour? The model of the car?

Interesting project. Coming along nicely. Love to see a fysical build.

What a great build. Didn't expect the chassis to be made from technic bricks. How much parts are you on?

Would love to build that Kamov one day, looks amazing. The motorcycle is brilliant too. I think it's a tough choice to make money out of your hobby. You could lose a hobby. And lego technic is a niche market.

Congrats on 30 models released! I still remember your Sea Harrier, that I tried to recreate, but at the time didn't have a lot of parts, since I was just coming back out of my dark age! How much time do you think went in designing this Porsche? I just got the Ford GT 42154 and really enjoyed that model and build.

I finaly have some space for my bricks again, and want to build some larger airplane(s). I just don't know how to tackle or approach a bigger project. I try to find blueprints or 3d models that I can import into Studio, but after that I usually get stuck on building a frame or get lost in details. What do you guys do, and what are some tips for getting back building again and keeping focused on something like this?

What a monster. Looks awesome.

This seems like an incredibly fishy website: Insane shipping costs (ship by train: € 119 - does it get a first class seat?) "By default, products come without original box" - whut? why? Weird limited offers that last a year Prices way lower advertised but see point one

That's an impressive new piece. It seems like you can couple more of them together - maybe for a giant dragon or snake

Those are some awesome looking cars. Love the details and the background story. Great job!

Studded Technic bricks are part of the Technic line-up, so in my opinion we should allow them. I wish Lego would use them some more in Technic sets, not just in giant Star Wars sets.

If we follow this direction, Lego should absolutely stop producing cars, since they create a lot more misery on a lot of people on a daily basis. Polution, accidents, deaths, etc. I came out of my dark age around 2010, 2011 and was blessed with sets like 8258, 8110, 8070 (a car, yes, but with functions and playability). I find that kind of balance between pricing, interesting model, functionality and looks only once every five years orso. Most recent purchase was 42145 - Airbus helicopter that has that kind of balance. For me, the balance is completely gone. Pricing is insane, large models with way to many pieces, 75% of the sets is a car. I'm disappointed, but the only thing you can do is stop buying sets.

Nice job man, good to see you are still going forward with this build. Getting some inspiration to continue my own.

Link to LEGO pictures: https://www.lego.com/nl-nl/product/mclaren-p1-42172 I think it looks really nice. But €450 is a lot of money, and not what I want to spend on a lego set... Also, the amount of pieces keeps increasing, and I'm not happy with that. This one has 1000 pieces more than the Porsche 42056, and I own that one, and it almost feels like a job building it.

Can you fit two pistons on one cam? To create a V-shaped engine?
