    Interesting discussion. In the past I have used non Lego parts to finish off a model, but I was never particularly satisfied with the result, because I had not met the challenge of finding a solution with the Lego parts in front of me. So, for me, if I am building a Lego MOC and taking it seriously then it is not going to have any 3rd party parts in it, or broken/cut parts either. However, if it is just about having a bit of fun at home, then why not use a 3rd party control system, or something. As for 3rd party stickers, I am not really sure. I never use stickers on Lego even when building a Lego set, but I can't deny that a few of the MOC presented over the years have looked great with their custom sticker sets. So for me, as long a the MOC looks great with or without the non Lego stickers then I think there is no issue.

    I totally agree. Building those older sets as a 10 yr old actually taught me something! I am not sure my kids would even want to bother with this one!! I will certainly never build it!

    I have to say, that I am not that blown away by this one, and that is an understatement. While some good new parts, and overall the shape is pretty good compared to the real car, there are some parts of the build that ruin it for me, like the flex axle above each door, and the headlights. Also, given that this is a technic set, in my opinion it is pretty unforgivable if it doesn't have a gearbox.

    I totally relate to this. I threw loads of cracked parts out a few months ago, and I try not to use the part's you have listed unless I really have to. ?

    I can completely relate to the - not enough time - family, kids, issue. I have my next MOC that's 95% complete just sitting there staring at me, right now as I "work at home" (whilst obviously multitasking by checking Eurobricks - well is also lunchtime). There are still some really great MOCs being built, but perhaps some of the most prolific builders of the last 5-10 years have just slowed their output slightly??

    Very nice solution.

    I like it. Looks great and some really nice details. I like the front bonnet shaping especially.

    Nice job Clive, (I mean Gilly?). It looks great, and a lot tidier than when I last saw it.

    In my opinion, whether or not the gearbox matches a real gearbox is less of a concern and lets be honest, given that most gearboxes have many electronics these days it is almost impossible to replicate mechanically with Lego. Therefore, I think it is more important that the gearbox is conceptually interesting and perhaps looks to follow a few conceptual aspects of the car it is based on. Likewise with all of the other mechanisms. The key factors for me are how smoothly they work, how sturdy, and of course whether they follow the design concepts of the real car, and finally how they are operated. The real challenging part of the design in my experience is the body, and from the pictures it seems to me that they have nailed it this time in most aspects.

    I really like the look of this. I think that Lego have managed to get the right balance between replicating the shape of the real car, while achieving a technic model that also looks good.

    Brilliant MOC. It looks great and has some really nice functions. I am impressed.

    Well, I have just logged into EB for the first time in a few weeks, so it was nice to see this MOC gracing the Technic Forum. Nice work, and I like the chassis as well.
  13. Pvdb
    This is a really great model at this scale. I really like it.

    It is quite clear these are not Lego branded parts, but many companies are now releasing people's MOCs. Some with permission but most without permission in my experience. Not so much a scam to the end buyer as it is fairly clear what you are buying.

    For me one of the most interesting parts of designing a supercar is developing the gearbox. Then comes the different challenge of designing the car that looks good around it.
  16. Pvdb
    Don't worry Brunojj1. Your P1 beats the Chiron by a long way in my opinion. Lego have a bit to do before they release a set as nice as that!! But I am looking forward to this Lamborghini. Who knows what colour they will choose.
  17. Pvdb
    I have to say that I absolutely disagree with this statement. In my view it is a massive positive that you have managed to make such a nice looking car at this smaller scale, and it probably also means less weight so more fun since it is powered by PF. It is almost a completely different game building at the Chiron scale, and I don't think it is really fair for someone to say which scale you should or should not build in.

    I agree with the above. But you can be excused for not knowing as it is rare to see this part without the turntable bottom -unless you have one of those little kids who specialises in taking Lego apart, you know, the type of little kid who pulls the arms and legs of minifigs and leaves them scattered about their bedroom!!???
  19. Pvdb
    I like it a lot. It looks great and functions nicely.
  20. Pvdb
    I have to say I completely agree with Jeroen's comments above. It is a great looking truck and the stickers work well and compliment the design (coming from someone who never puts stickers on). Good photography as well.
  21. Pvdb
    Good choice. I have been tempted to try to build the Jesko but at smaller scale. It is difficult to replicate that gearbox with the Lego gears available, and to make it operate at lightspeed using pneumatics. Interested to see your solution.
  22. Pvdb
    I love it. It looks good from every angle in your pictures which in my opinion is hard to achieve. Interesting as well as built in a different scale to most other Supercar mocs that I have seen over the years. You may start a new trend.
  23. Pvdb
    Great work. The shape of this car is hard to replicate. I like the insides as well.
  24. Pvdb
    Great replica. I like the chassis as well.
  25. Pvdb
    I really like this MOC. Brilliant details, shape and mechanisms. It's is also the first time I have seen this type of tricycle made with technic. Well done and thanks for sharing.
