Yes maybe, that would allow to make smaller locomotives an thus smaller trains that would fit a smaller budget. Circuit cube has a bluetooth hub that works via a small rechargable battery wich is 4x4x2 connected to a 2x4x1 motor so I guess this is not impossible technically.

I also think the 3 train sets will be like the 60423 : a very simple train, a side build and some section of tracks. But WHAT IF ? What if those are the long awaited replacement for powered up ? Like those could have some miniaturised motors and hub that make them able to make smaller trains, like circuit cube. I know I am daydreaming but what do you think ? I agree.

Given it's size, Smaug could be brickbuilt. I would find it way more nice in the context of an "adult" set. A big moulded dragon would be too toyish in my opinion.

Oh nice, did not remember that one. Its a nice begining but would deserve some more greeblig to be nicer. It also lacks the iconic line on the equatorial side. Whatever, that concept is I think the better alternative for the folks who want a purely exterior display DS.

Did anybody try to do a death star using the shape/structure of the set 21332 "Globe" ? I guess it would be an easy mod and a good alternative to this 1000$ death star. Plus the size would be pretty okay, the globe is not awfully large.

I was just gonna say the same. They are obsviously rotating on that type of joint. The set still looks very cool though.

Very nice mod, the coolest is that you only use parts from the original set. Makes this u-wing way more appealing !

Does the asymetrical ship needs to be an imaginary one or can it be an existing ship ?

Thanks for your comment, always nice to read nice things from a great supercar builder like you. What your saying about the gaps nears the wheelarches goes with the economical style you are describing : I prefer to leave a gap than to put some pieces that would make the design too heavy :).

Thanks for your comments, really nice to read those type of compliments from one of the first to have worked on the F40 in technic. The front glass is indeed a crucial part of the design for me. It's really a big part of the definition of the identity of a car.

Link to the instructions : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-144042/Sebulba56/ferrari-f40-supercar-110-scale/#details Here is my latest creation, a 1:10 scale replica of the iconic Ferrari F40. This project was a true labour of patience, and I am proud to say that I was able to incorporate all the functions that make a supercar and to capture the essence of the design of the F40. I already worked on the F40 and posted it almost 2 years ago (link right below). It was a cool model but I still had always that feeling that I could do better. This feeling was emphasized by the other people of this forum that worked on this Ferrari like @lnteknik or very recently @Lox Lego. So I went back to my pieces and started to work from scratch on a new iteration of this legendary car. To sum up : I changed almost everything. One of the key features of the Lego model is the functional 5+R gearbox, which allows the car to shift through its gears just like the real-life F40. This was a particularly challenging feature to implement, but it really adds to the overall playability of the Lego model. The gearbox is designed to be smooth and efficient, making it easy to shift between gears and control the fake engine’s speed. The gearbox was inspired by GrayGear from Eurobrick, here is a link to his topic : His gearbox is a 6 speed, I worked on it to implement a reverse gear. Note that I reproduced the particular patern of the F40, the R replace the 1, the 1 replace the 2 and so on. In addition to the gearbox, I also included a functional opening mechanism for the doors, front trunk, and rear engine hood. This was a challenging aspect to incorporate into the design, but I am thrilled with how well it turned out. Users can easily open and close these components, further enhancing the interactive and realistic nature of the Lego model. Those components can also be retired to reveal the chassis of the car in a modular-ish way. Attention to detail was also a top priority for me during the design process. I made sure to include accurate design elements such as the air intake on the doors and the sharp, angular lines of the car's bodywork. I also ensured that the proportions of the model were as true-to-life as possible, making it instantly recognizable as an F40 to car enthusiasts and Lego fans alike. I am also extremely pleased with how the engine and its details turned out in the model. The attention to detail and accuracy of the design truly showcases the iconic engine of this legendary car. Furthermore, I the steering mechanism can be controlled by the steering wheel or by a removable HOG, which adds to the overall control of the Lego model. The steering is designed to be responsive and smooth, allowing to easily maneuver the car in any direction. Finally, I included the iconic pop-up headlights, which can be activated using a small wheel in the dashboard. This adds a fun and interactive aspect to the model, and further enhances the overall attention to detail that went into the design. Overall, I am extremely proud of this creation, and I believe that the inclusion of these unique and functional features truly sets it apart from other Lego Technic models. The attention to detail, accurate design elements, and functional components make this model a true tribute to the iconic Ferrari F40.

I like the improvment you made the huracan is definitly more recognizable here. However i find disturbing the fact that the wheels are a bit too much offset compared to the bodywork. I don't know if you get what i am trying to say. The wheels do not match the width of the bodywork. Still a great job though. Would be cool to see picture of the inner frame.

I made a modern version of the 8880 about a year ago. It only uses modern studless pieces so much easier to recreate but still keeping the original spirit. Maybe you could use the chassis then try put the original body on it. You can find it on the following link : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-106519/Sebulba56/8880-remastered/#details

I spot a big AC Cobra inspiration here. Also the rears views make me think of an Lancia Stratos. Big fan of the color scheme.

Pretty cool mod I like how you linked the cars in a fluid way that leaves no gaps. Maybe it would be more realistic to change the color from LBG to DBG.
