  1. Can their colors 100% cover the parts? Though it still has the problem that it's hard to match the colors. I don't have a laser/white ink printer so experimenting would be expensive. But thanks for the tip, it's definitely worth to look into!
  2. Probably already said and I'm a Techncic person, but: I love color vomit. I don't mind blue pins (in general: I don't mind when pins/color coded elements doesn't match the body color). I love few/single part per step instructions. Sorting parts is just a waste of time (I only separate wheels and Technic panels from the rest, or sometimes by sort out a specific color ). Looks > durability > playability > functions. I don't care about authentic/perfect suspension geometry (kind of a sub-point of the above). I don't like gaps filled with whatever cr*p fits there, gaps are okay. The Arocs was not a good model. I don't like remote controlled models at all. I like recurring stock sets, I don't mind the 200th car or truck. I only like models that look "good" in real life, I don't care about awkward but mechanically "interesting" models. Pistenbully is the most boring machine to model. The characteristic features of a car is more important than perfect proportions. I don't care if you crossfade the blueprint with the Lego model and it looks perfect if otherwise I don't instantly recognize the model. Don't model something if it doesn't look good in Lego (the new Corvette fopr example due to the lack of sligh curves)
  3. Hi all! Do you know a complany that ships to Europe and prints custom stickers? My main problem with making custom stickers all my own is the color. But some help with the design would also be awesome (like managing the precutting geometry, or providing templates for specific parts, etc). Maybe my request is stupid, because making stickers in such a low volume is not profitable. Custom printing is also an option. Anyway, how do you people make your own stickers?
  4. I guess he scored zero because according to him, the boom setup of Lego doesn't match any real setups of the LR13000.
  5. That's the current trend. Very long clickbait titles with a very clickbait splash screen (or whatever it's called) with even more clickbaity annotations. The title was pretty humble according to the current trend. The video was okay, I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't mentioned as the etalon of the verybestest Technix designers and that I could do 2x better models for half the money than TLG, but whatever
  6. Having more gearbox stuff would be nice, though the new realistic direction still means enormous gearboxes. So for smaller scale models (say 1:10) you still would be using the "old" unrealistic complicated system.
  7. Yeay, I guess you are right. The macaroni parts seemingly filled the space, perspective fooled me.
  8. At the botton next to the four macaroni pieces.
  9. I might be hallucinating but I see new parts (for me) in that chassis photo too. 4L liftarm? That elongated ball pin as the footrest? (sorry if it was mentioned already)
  10. I think there is a selectable 24t gear too. Sorry, my English fails
  11. Is that real? All our transmission dreams came true?
  12. Thanks! I think it's official (the people sending the emails are Lego employees), but I'm still waiting for the "more information" email... I also recieved the gift. The execution of the communication part of the project is not that professional so far...
  13. Call me a madman but I like models and real machinery that look good. Usually cars look good, so I'm okay with car models. Especially since parts are evolving thus models (or at least some features) are evolving too. As for profit vs quality: Technic line is just a small portion of the lineup.
  14. My google skills are pretty poor, sorry. Does 9L flip-flop beam exist?
  15. dat part Anyhoo, I guess the new hub looks just like the current black hub but for the bigger CV joint.
  16. The spare wheels supposed to be there. It would have been nice to have 6 wheels. Some new suspension arm parts would have been nice too, but we can't have everything...
  17. Shoot, I'm (slowly) building a Dakar rally car at the moment, but with Unimog wheels.
  18. One of my favorite scifis with all that drool and syrup.
  19. So you have to use a rusty wrench to assemble it?
  20. First milestone: Two mandandory fields in the create new topic form. "Category" dropdown and a "finished MOC" checkbox. Then the engine adds two tags for the topic based on the fields. Plus a pinned topic with simple list of the categoris as a list of links (as the tag search works with url parameters so very easy to create the links manually). The old topics would all have to be manually tagged though, I don't know if mods can (or want to...) add tags to each topic.
  21. I think this would be a good feature. If I was the programmer of the site I would immediately jump into implementing it, as it doesn't seem to be a hard task and could be implemented in steps.
  22. It would be an honor! Feel free to ask any questions about the build, I still have the model at hand and I can recall the dificulties I had.
