Cool. I like it.

This is really a great community feature, just like the "boys" or "girls" and "B.L.T community", back in the day, mind you more appropriate, (or not so blatantly offensive as many where), I would hope. Ummmm. "giggling sinisterly like".

Thanks. I have not seen that set, and will look it up asap lol. And yes, I just didn't like the weight, and look of the rear ramp, so doing some changes to clean things up a bit, the articulation was sort of an accident that worked. It's solid holds a good amount of weight, and doesn't seem to twist the frame to much. Just hope nothing is deemed an illegal connection buy the wizards (for lack of better term), but I think I'm okay, and if it's worth looking at, so might get lucky either way.

I will try what that. Thanks. Hey it. Worked. Thanks again.

Okay I will have to make an account with a flicker. Rebrickable I think you need to post instructions with it. I'm going to get a flicker I guess, just did a few more things to it, and managed to get 4 to 5 studs flex out of each wheel. Okay I think I did it right. I think I got a link in there.

https://bricksafe.com/pages/2ndgenguy Getting there, any thoughts, good or bad. (not crazy about how low the actuator is). Still needing to run the axle up front for that, possible on both sides. Bit more progress, finally time to smooth out the details). Still rough, waiting for parts. New here, and hoping I understood correctly to post new projects here. (Images on Bricksafe). About 3/4 done a 66 by 25 stud tandem flat deck for the "newish" Defender (also modded, black on green colour scheme, with eBay decal sheet, lifted, solid hitch, bumper tow bar attachment points, and a few others). Has 4 wheel independent suspension, with about (2.5 to 3 studs changed), of travel at each wheel with springs, a fold down ramp using one short linier ram, and a fold up dolly wheel at the front. Still lots of little things to finish, any advice on scaling, or tricks of any kind are very much welcome. Edit: now 4 to 5 studs of travel. Trying to use as many olive green panels, and black beams I can, but still waiting on a few more parts, so it's a bit of a VW Harley Quinn. I'm hoping my image works, but haven't much lunch getting the format small enough to post. If this isn't the right place to do this, please let me know, but I'm sure I don't need to ask that. Happy to be here and thoughts and feed back would he fantastic. (Still trying for an image, think this should work)

Ya if you want a couple pictures of hoy I do let let me know. It's the tightest fitting and fasted way I know lol. Never tried Lego, but for making forms for concrete and stuff with fine details it works pretty well. Anyway looking forward to seeing some more of this.

Oh I guess I need a flicker then. Okay thanks.

Very cool.

Thank you, it will be a journey for sure.

In complete awe of this, I'm no brick master, not even a little, but some plastic and low expanding (window and door), spray foam may work as a sub base that's quick and easy, for tight areas back tape, and double cut. Not sure if that helps, but I have had good luck shaping things in the past with that method. Absolute artness, Mona Lisa move over....... (maybe a Picasso forsure)

Calgary is an interesting place, lived there for a few years myself, that's all I got.

Hello. I am Nathan. Canadian, a bit ADHD, (sorry in advance), technic has been keeping me out of trouble since 1992. Still an amateur, but can usually figure out problems. Never leave a set alone long enough to enjoy it.(working on that), took a long break from actively buying and building, unfortunately my childhood Lego has gone, but now slowly building it back up again. Am I rambling, (probably), new to all these internet sites, and loving the support and ideas, (who knew), just happy to be here and possibly learn how to contribute some of my hair brained ideas. I'd like to post a picture of what I have so far, but alas, my images are too big. Anyway. Thanks for access into the community, and if make a mistake, (I will make more then one, for sure), please let me know, or at least a place to look for the solution, the internet is a machine I'm not familiar with, and I like my fingers.

Is this the right spot, I have no idea how to internet past a couple of comments. I suppose if I have done this wrong I will be notified? 0.1mb for a picture is baffling me, I have three random pictures on my phone that are in kb. Not sure how that happened either. O well.
