Well i had to rise the interior about 2 studs now it look better:)

Well a lot more hood shaping later:)

And my Yesterdays biggest achievement was that now i know how to import new pieces from lddraw because my dump truck uses newer pneumatic switch and that has not been installed to studio v2 so i had to download and instal that piece to studio v2 and now im really proud of my self:)

Well i spended this day studying how to use studio v2 and it is going smoothly so my next generation of instructions are hopefully much better than the og instructions and again next gen is free as usual:)

Well if my older mocs were criticised for being too simple now with this i will again put my design skills to the limits as on the countach im really happy with the front sculpting and with the engine room with realistic wheelwells:)

Well a ton of sculpting at the front:)

Well the 8880 had a hog steering out of the box it was located on the engine room:)

Testing some mudguard concepts these seem pretty good and they work perfectly even when the suspension is lowered:)

Well a lot more work later now the engine is finished and now there is a detailed turbocharged v8

Well the reason why i ditched the tracks was that i wanted to keep the same mechanical complexity as on the 8043 and with wheels now the minimodel can have 6 function gearbox like the original but if i go with the tracked version there would be only 4 functions since this isint motorized and on no motorized set wheels work better than tracks and i wanted to keep the fun play value the same as on the 8043:) And yes im fully aware that this might not be the most acurate looking mini 8043 but the 8043s spirit was the complex 6 function gearbox and this model has the same 6 function gearbox

Yesterdays progress:)

More progress:)

Little bit of seat testing i might reuse the countach seats in here:)

Well im really happy with the chassis now it's structurally sound and im really happy with my designed front wheel hubs:)

Well now the river steamboat reviews are out and there is new technic connector

New project :) 1.5mm 120m

Well since i didn't own any rope for winches now i have rope:)

But the go kart was released in 2016 and the 42069 in 2017 and since 2017 we have not gotten anymore purple sets :( but its funny that the 42048 heart still lives on the f1 cars gearbox because the 42048 gearbox is the same as on the 230€ f1 ferrari and redbull:)

Well now the new pieces have arrived:)

Yeah exactly like with the 42069 purple color we haven't seen any new purple sets anymore:(

Here is sariels review of this set:)

Yes same but connection to steering wheel is unique and the batmobile 76139 had virtual pivot steering and its the only one sadly:(

Hmm lego revealed the new mario kart set and i watched the 360 video i wonder how the steering is done i see there is some bionicle ball joint pieces this is really interesting approach to steering
