Auroralampinen

A bit of pneumatic engineering:). In total this will have 5 pneumatic sylinders and 2 linear actuators:).

Little bit more progress. And yes, this model so far can lift up it self with outriggers:).

New project:). Sneak peak:). This is powered by 1 power functions L motor. With good track performance:).

Ok, interesting. I did start developing a new tracked moc. And the left track feeled really weird, left track was really incredibly hard to connect and disconnect. And they feeled kind of brittle. Until i noticed, oh the left track is the older style(which were included in the 42055). And apparently the newer one(included in the volvo fmx) is much easier to connect. And it doesn't feel brittly anymore. I have no clue which is better terms of durability. But the newer one feels much better. And connectes and disconnectes better than the older one

In case you are curious how long i do develope the new model:). Here is the answer:). Usually my moc takes about 1-4 days to design and build. But it can take up to 1 month:). Next the instructions takes about 1-2 days. Since i do inspect every page invidually to check they are easy to follow. And there are no hiccups:). Next i will publish a review and this takes 1 day:). If i notice afterwards that something is wrong with the model instructions. Or someone complained about the bad instructions, i will start immeadely developing a fix. And this takes about 1 day:). And im still learning how to make premium good quality instructions. So i like to hear your feedback and suggestions:). And yes, im still sorry about the 42203 upgraded model's instructions. I have not had time to update those to gen 2.1 instructions. But i really hope some day in the future i get them upgraded from the crappy gen 1 to gen 2.1 instructions:).

Allright i was a bit bored. And i found a really cool moc in rebrickable. And this was my first ever experience with buying instructions. So how it did go. Well, not good. My PayPal for some reason in the first time didn't work and it still tooked my money. And i tryed second time and voilà it worked. But i really hope that i will get the money back from the first failed attempt. Since i got charged twice. Well, no hate towards anybody. But this was cluncky and fidly as h*ll:/. Update, now i got back the first failed payment attempt now im happy:).

Ok, the gt3 is listed on here:). https://www.hobbyworkshop.co.uk/cada-bricks-1-8-mercedes-amg-gt3-5466-pcs-c64008w.html?srsltid=AfmBOooxOfQzkVtzFwjXy9EGoMbj64cc4HS9Y2KE1DbZ0MFGZyfw7jZe BUT, this is a really ugly picture. What is that cable and powerbank for🤔

Looks great:). Sad that this part of the eurobricks is a ghost town. So when i post a review here, i will share it to the pantasy facebook group. And everyone seemingly likes my reviews:).

I have watched few videos of the cuckoo clock. And apparently it might have a few issues. But othervise a great looking set. And this review is pretty great:). (please note. I don't know if i will review this set:).).

Hmm, apparently the harvester is even smaller scale than the 30710 polybag:).

Here are all of mine recent moc's. And the harvester is soo small next to the G500:). Ok, next to the G500 really shows how tiny the Miniature Combine Harvester is:). And funny thing is while the G500 is bigger then the harvester. It has only basic functions. Because it is based on 42213. So the functions are steering suspension RWD with V8, opening doors trunk, hood. While the combine harvester has a bucket load of unique functions, while being small. Functions. Easily removable side panels for maintenance work, Grain outlet can be operated by hand, Openable Grain tank doors, Right wheel drives blowers, 1 sylinder engine and straw outlet, Left wheel drives the cutting blade/reel, Cutting blade can be raised and lowered, HOG steering for rear wheels. So. I will continue invest my time with the Soapbox collection. It's really fun challenge to squeeze a bucket load of functions in a small model. Since lego doesn't make any fun to play small sets. Luckily then i come to rescue with the Soapbox collection. It's small but has a bucket load of functionality while lego does have only one good function and other being a bit lackluster. Like rear bucket and outriggers from the backhoe;). So Soapbox collection models go like this. The road roller is the most simplistic from all of the Soapbox collection models. Next comes the dump truck. Which has more functions and pieces than the lego dump truck which is a lot bigger than mine;). Then comes the flagship the Miniature Combine Harvester, which is the crown jewel from the Soapbox collection. Again it has more pieces and functions than the Lego dump truck while being smaller;).

UPDATE. Since this was my first ever moc with a chain i didn't know why it wasn't smoothly running. But now i did do a little bit of tinkering and now i got it running smoothly. And i have released fixed instructions for this:).

Well, about the size. When i did build this i didn't think too much about the small size. But yesterday's evening i got a though that this might be the smallest working technic combine harvester with 7 functions. And i did look on rebrickable combine harvester moc's. And camed to the conclusion that this is the smallest one ever made. But if some one has made even smaller working combine harvester with these functions. Let me know i would be really intrested:). And fun fact about the side panels. The easily removable side panels did born from pure happy accident. I did build this with angled side panels and i did not think the removable side panels would be possible. Until afterwards i noticed they were easily removable just like on the real machine. And i was really proud of implenting this feature by accident:).

Here are some behind the scene design and building stuff:). Well, since this is the flagship model from the Soapbox collection line up. This has 58 pieces more than the dump truck:). And it's kind of fun to think that this model has 7 good quality functions. Even thought this is small. And yes, the functions needed a ton of engineering to make they work. And i did design this with functions in mind. So first camed the functions and then the looks:). And if you are wondering why this doesn't have a differential:). Well, i did build this first with a differential. But the raise and lower mechanism for the front blades didn't fit with the differential. So i decided to split the functions for both wheels to drive. And about the off set engine. It had to be made off center because othervise the cam would hit the HOG steering gear. So i had to engineer the engine off center to not cause any interfearance. And every square inch has been squeezed for functions. And the blue seat idea did came later. Because i first decided this would not have a seat. But after building and testing i noticed a seat would be possible to fit. So i did made a seat:). And one more fun fact of the Soapbox collection models:). They all start from the same chassis. All Soapbox collection models start with a flip flop beam, pins and connectors and 5.5L axle for the drive wheels:). Here is a picture of all of the Soapbox collection models chassis:).

Hi it's again the time when i strike back with a new moc:). This time I will show the newest member of the Soapbox collection. And the Soapbox collection flagship model. The miniature combine harvester:). (please note. I'm not an expert with agricultural machinery. And this is my first attempt to make a combine harvester. And I did a lot of searching on how combine harvesters work. But if you want to see more realistic combine harvesters, please check out @eric trax youtube channel. He is a living legend for agricultural machinery, https://youtube.com/@erictrax?si=pvuhm1bW33eMXklj :).). Free instructions:). https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-238324/Auroralampinen/miniature-combine-harvester/#details Functions:). Specs. pieces 774. Functions:). Functions. Easily removable side panels for maintenance work, Grain outlet can be operated by hand, Openable Grain tank doors, Right wheel drives blowers, 1 sylinder engine and straw outlet, Left wheel drives the cutting blade/reel, Cutting blade can be raised and lowered, HOG steering for rear wheels. Interior includes a simple blue seat:). Pictures:). Here are all of the Soapbox collection models:). And yes, the harvester is builded on a smaller scale:). Here is Miniature combine harvester next to a coke cherry can. For size comparison:). If you made this far. Have a nice halloween:).

Well, since i got my new dining table. Now you won't see anymore set or moc reviews from the floor. The newest member of the Soapbox collection, will be reviewed on my dining table with nice pantasy set backround:).

Happy news:). Couple days ago i got inspiration for building mocs again. And now the moc is done. I will now produce free instructions for it:). Little sneak peak:). Its the newest member of the Soapbox collection, and its the flagship model from the Soapbox collection. Plus this is my very first attempt to make this kind of machinery:). So stay tuned:).

Well, i decided to create this since the original has turned to my collection growing topic:). And in this topic you can talk about pantasy, new sets, issues, fixes, electornics. Basically everything. So this is cada topic for pantasy sets:).

Here is mine Assasin XR with those sifters:).

Well, now i have created Pantasy general discussion topic. Have a fun time, and let's hope pantasy will get more recognition on this platform. Because im really impressed and happy with them:).

Well, that my plan for one pantasy topic. Didn't go as planned since i started collecting pantasy sets and reviewing them. But now this topic serves as the general discussion topic for pantasy. So have a fun time as i do, collecting pantasy sets and fixing some minor issues:).

Yeah, i agree:).

Yeah, it's not just Cada who is outpacing Lego. Pantasy also is outpacing lego in many areas;).

Thanks🙂👍

Well, here is my newest pantasy review. Have a fun time reading this:).
