    Wow, that is some undertaking! I love it. I am really curious how it operates in real life. Any chance of a viedo showing the results so far?
  2. Jeroen Ottens
    It is an amazing creation! I also like the look with everything open: there is hardly anything left except the chassis.
  3. Jeroen Ottens
    +1 for smiles

    I found a good use for the lightgrey round piece at the bottom. My teaser MOC uses 24 of them... Which part do you mean?
  5. Jeroen Ottens
    Great ship and welcome to this forum. I'm looking forward to see more of your incredible MOCs in the future.
  6. Jeroen Ottens
    Great lines, much better than the Lego version. This contest is certainly bringing the best out of you French builders

    Great model, crazy angles all over the place. What are the two springs in the back doing? Are they for the rear suspension? Or is it just aesthetics?
  8. Jeroen Ottens
    Incredible model! It is just massive... I particularly like the way you prevent the water entering the pneumatic system.

    Good progress! Lego is all about creativity. You seem to have that in spades when it comes to finding solutions for the challenges you face (and create inadvertely). :thumbsup:

    Great explanation of the functions. Another level of awesomeness added. And great NPU with ring, I'll remember that one!

    Welcome back Grum, looking forward to your progress updates again

    Ingenious. I love that it is programmable. Now how to make the programsheets programmable... hmm... wanders off muttering to himself...

    Rebrickable has not approved the model yet. I have put the partslist on the Bricksafe page though: http://www.bricksafe.com/pages/JeroenOttens/Alfa%20Romeo%204C%20Spider

    Second that (allthough I only have 2 or 3 of them). It is such a beautiful piece, but I somehow never end up using it...
  15. Jeroen Ottens
    Well spotted , thanks. We will rectify this as soon as possible. The instructions are updated by Legolijntje, if you download them again you will find three extra pages (299 in total now).

    But in the true spirit of the StarWars franchise I first have to provide a lot more trailers, leaks and debatable content... So here is the next picture, with the question that has kept our minds busy for the past week. Studded or studless that's the question...

    Hi all, After a lot of hard work from Legolijntje the instructions are finished. I have uploaded the model to Rebrickable including the final partlist. It is now awaiting approval. For the impatient ones is here the link to the instructions on Bricksafe: http://www.bricksafe.com/files/JeroenOttens/Alfa%20Romeo%204C%20Spider/Alfa%20Romeo%204C%20Spider%20Instructions%20-%20High%20Quality.pdf There are also two lower resolution PDF's available (the high res file is 280 MB, medium is 80 MB, low res is 40 MB). I can't thank Legolijntje enough for making these instructions. :thumbup: He has put an amazing amount of work into this. Enjoy Jeroen

    Well done. It is nice to see a tank that is predominantly technic for a change. I love those towball pieces Looking forward to your next tank
  19. Jeroen Ottens
    Well, the release obviously is scheduled for the 18th of December this year
  20. Jeroen Ottens
    That was the easy one

    Hi, I've nearly finished my newest MOC and I just can't resist the temptation to tease you all a bit with it , sorry . It has no PF and to the probable delight of some of you it does feature pneumatics instead. It shouldn't be too hard to guess what it is, or derive the scale from this picture. A harder challenge might be to estimate the amount of pneumatics used in this model... Leg godt, Jeroen
  22. Jeroen Ottens
    Well it is a testament to the quality standards that Lego adheres to. They could have chosen any other shape (a quarter circle at the top for instance) to mimic the shape of the real space shuttle, but instead they choose to get a part that was less stylistic ideal, but much more versatile. The guy I spoke was Soren (with a / through the o), but I suspect he was not the only designer of that set (we developed sets with two designers per set). By the time I joined the company he had already moved to a management function...
  23. Jeroen Ottens
    I discussed with Legolijntje and we decided to give the instructions for free.

    I remember a conversation in 1999 I had with the designer of the Spaceshuttle. He considered (in hindsight) the 6x4 bended liftarm the true start of studless Technic. They apparently had a hard time at the time to convince the part committee to accept the part as a proper Lego part. They had to promise they wouldn't expand on the concept of these weird studless parts... (famous last words ).

    Hi, First of all I think you are a bit too critical for yourself. I have seen bodyworks with way more upwards potential on this forum. A straight body is also probably not the easiest form to capture. That may sound a bit counterintutive, but it rules out almost all the panels from using, giving you a very limited partbase to start with. For good examples of straight bodywork I'd recommend: rm8's variants of the FJ40 Toyota: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=103380 Madoca's offroad pickup: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101665 Sheepo's landrover: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69577 Using connectors to break the monotony of stacked beams is one of the tricks that you could add to your model
