Technic 2018 Set Discussion
Thirdwigg replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Is it so hard to have a set with normal blue? From these images, it seems we have to wait another year. That Mack Terrapro looks great. One other thought, with a 15 wide truck, it's hard to get in four 49mm tires per axle because there is not a great axle option to keep you from pulling the axle out. It's like we need a 7l with stop. It seems like this is not resolved in the Anthem model when viewed from the top, as a simple 7l axle is inserted directly to the differential. It would be frustrating to pull the wheel/tire off, only to pull the axle out as well, and releasing differential gears as well. -

Stunning. That blue works better than I expected. It looks great. -
Farming tractor
Thirdwigg replied to steph77's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I love the simple features of this MOC that function well and add realism to the tractor. Yet again another great MOC that has inspired me. I look forward to more creations. -

The sailboat looks bigger than the first pictures. I like the color, and I’m happy to see a sailboat for once. -
[MOC] SHERP ATV
Thirdwigg replied to KevinMoo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I remember a few months ago when the Sherp blew up the internet. I'm happy you made a great rendition of this fun vehicle. I'm a sucker for orange as well. The MOC looks great. We are excited again for your LEGO contribution, but do what you need to stay healthy. Glad you are well now, and I hope you have the support needed for the future.- 41 replies

[TC12] The Toaster
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My childhood bus driver certainly had some character traits that were fun. Thanks so much! -

Re. Stickers, I just ran out of time, and paste. Next time I'll work on my time management as well as the design. Maybe we should just assume Thirdwigg Racing really doesn't really want the other contestants to stop. -
[TC12] The Toaster
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Agreed, but I didn't need to bring any additional attention to the fact that my stop sign does not in fact say stop. Glad you like it @ColletArrow and @HorcikDesigns. I hope for your votes -

The video is now up, as is the entry. -
[TC12] The Toaster
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The Toaster is done. Working on the video to post this afternoon. Looking at the other entries to this contest, I think I went more down the race route, while others went more down the wacky route. -

Not a bad idea. Knowledge is power, which probably turns into speed. -

Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I agree. A black stripe would fit, but it might be too much black since there is already a lot. I'll try it, post a picture, and have this thread vote. -

Good idea. I have one small stop sign on the bus on the driver's side, but the double stop might be worth it. -
[TC12] The Toaster
Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep the stripe off, and I'll stay with the black wheels. I think I might add a little color in the engine bay. @mocbuild101 I agree, it's missing something visually wacky. I'm not sure a gun or something wild fits this build, but I have tried a spoiler, wheelie wheels ( @ThatOneBuilder ), and a hood scoop. None of them are perfect. I'll put some exhaust pipes on the driver side as well, and the engine will get a little more wild, but that's about all I have right now. I'm open to other ideas. -

I keep making progress, which is good since the deadline is getting closer. The passenger door is now working, which you can see here. The hardpoints for the body is done, so now I need to work on the details: lights, stop sign, front hood, grill, and engine details. I think a little more color is needed, and all the blue seats will help. Maybe a little more splash with a blue stripe or something. Thoughts? Also maybe some LBG wheels instead of the black. Should be done in a couple of days. -
I'm liking the crew and the storyline. Maybe this missile, no?

All this because I requested a spoiler. Sorry...

Thirdwigg replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm glad everyone likes it so far. I was a little hesitant about the chucking the passenger seats, so I'm glad people think its a fun wacky feature. I just made a bricklink order of a gazzillon blue 3x5L liftarms, which felt a little weird. @mocbuild101, I should state, Thirdwigg Racing cares about the safety and well being of all race participants, fans, and spectators. No persons will be allowed to ride along in The Toaster or harmed in a race situation to allow for proper and safe seat ejection. I'll move to work on the front of the Bus tonight. I need to clean up the hood, and make the engine look even more wild. Also, @BrickbyBrickTechnic, I managed to get the front entry door to work. I'll show that soon.
