  2. You are both with Mahj do the smallest and cutest MOCs! :thumbup:
  3. May be cleaning and changing grease will help?
  4. It look like it is your work - designing cool models. You share one after another, fast and reguarly. And all of the well detailed! Very cool. By the way. could you give a link to thos tires. And what are the rims for the?
  5. nice comission there Find someone who have a comission for me too. I guess, gyus with own oil wells from near east will be intersted in desert cruisers. But they don't have time for youtube and eurobricks, too much oil ....
  6. For me all ships are looking similar) May be like for you all FJ Toyotas. But detalisation of each is awesome! Such a huge effort to plan, buy bricks, build and finish each! You live in a port city, right? That's why you are so inspired by such a huge floating machines. I live in the city of bad roads, so you can imagine what my living place inspire me to build... You should be driving sport boats, not race carts
  7. may be this help for the organizers of TRIAL cahllenges DIY
  8. curved panel 3x2x11 is it exist in Tan?
  9. That was hard and even horrible to imagine "how 911 will look in sedan body? " Now we see, It is not hard and horrible. Wery nicely done with awesome chassis and cage!
  10. Efforts worth it, thanks! Yes, I have different nets. But I have to cut it to triangle or bend in half. So I decided to build without them.
  11. Well, sometimes I think that non-perfectionism make living easier Forklift movie is too cool! About Ferrari: we both don't know what to do with it. So he bring the idea Thank you
  12. Best presentation for it - put Technic figure on every each seat! Cool work, nice tan color!
  13. Looks like you build alternates from your sets?! What about 42052 alternate? Would like to see Mi-24 Hind as 42052 alternate
  14. Thank you! Video first, model then. I used SevenStuds GoPro mount to film footages on the car. Garage scenes also filmed by me. I build simple shelves, fake car lifts (in addition to real working Sheepo's one), boxes, tables and drop different parts on it. There is also mini V8 and I4 engines inspired by Crowkillers, and simple fake chassis. May be I can find the way to show it one time! Thanks!
  15. Hi all Here is ICON FJ Baja edition. Well, actually this is Toyota Land Cruiser FJ, but in real life there is almost nothing common between them, except design. While designing first Toyota FJ in 2013-2014, I found many clear pictures of what is called ICON FJ. After my searches of high quality blueprints did not find success, I wrote to ICON / TLC, and was surprised by instant answer form CEO and designer of ICON cars - Jonathan Ward. He can't help me with blueprints, but it was nice to meet him. After meeting with ICON cars closer, I fell in love with ICON values. I decided to do some of ICON models after classic FJ. ICON is boutuqe-garage that recover Land Cruisers and produces small quantities of hand made restomods (or modified classic cars). Garage is situated in California. Final products are not cheap, usually from 100k $. And you should wait for your model for 1-1,5 years. One more fact: Jonathan Ward and his garage reputation grew so big, so he became consultant for Toyota, an even Mr. Toyoda asked him to build first driving prototypes of Toyota FJ Cruiser, that was produced till 2016. ICON FJ baja - is not the only FJ in ICON model line. They have "classic" trims that are very utility vehicles: pickup FJ45, long wheel base 4-door 6 seat FJ44, middle WB FJ43 and short FJ40. Baja - is trim that is possible only for FJ40 and FJ43. But there is nothing impossible - ICON can do everyhing you want, except crocodile leather and diamond decoration. Utility and functionality only. LEGO model have some details that match real vehicle. Custom stickers, color palette of BAJA trim, rollcage, interior details, mirrors, roof lights, front bumper. Front axle is modified - now it is 4 link triangulated. No pan-hard here. Rear suspenison is 3 link with pan-hard. In fact, real model also was with pan-hard int he beginning, and after some time they moved to multilink supsended axles. No leaf spring at Real vehicle - only coilovers, so LEGO shock absrobers are realistic this time (comparing to my classic FJ40 that should be with leafs). . winch is not included for this type of bumper, but you can modify it and there is still free space for 2x extra motors in the chassis Model was finished far ago, but I thought how to present it more interesting: not only for LEGO fans, but also for 4x4 fans, who never have experinece with LEGO. Presentation is the cover for Fifth Gear TV show with similar scenario and original soundtrack. more photos http://www.bricksafe...m8/icon-fj-baja AND here is ORIGINAL video Thanks for watching
  16. Awesome cage! it rocks! Do you plan to add body panels?
  17. very cute! in my must build list!
  18. Some builders, especially young and non-English speaking ask how to use Sariel's Scaler tool. Just shared video how I usually use it with English subtitles. Very useful tool, not only for LEGO builders, since you can switch to different units, not only studs. Thank to Pawel.
  19. on of the best and unquie entries!
  20. А finally, tires without center band on thread pattern around the wheel!
  21. Wow. The best G in this scale I ever saw! Proportions are very good! could you share more pictures including internal structure?
