    Stunning! Really like a Flagship model, hat off again Lipko!

    Hi All, I ran into a sale (50% off), and couldn't resist to buy a copy of 42037. It was actually much more fun to build than I thought, pretty sturdy construction. Still, L4 engine? I had to change some bits of it... enjoy! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/agrof/42037-ultimate-mod

    Hmmm, I expected to happen such, but not this soon... And they obviously changed (=degraded) the design quite a bit: 1 steered axle, and 3 fixed ??, probably 1 steering mode only, spool for winch is shown, but no hook, no motor to serve this function, etc... I hope this has no demotivation effect on one of the best MOCer, and on any of us. I would appretiate if Madoca would share his opinion on this, but I understand if this won't happen.

    Hello aidank! FYI - similar topic was already closed, due to recent change of site Guidelines: With all of my respect: I personally think, it is kind of pity (the fan part), because the escalating practice of stealing MOCs has an important effect on all of us here on Eurobricks. If we don't talk about, the phenomenon is still exists. I think one step further: without conversation we can not build up a kind of organisation (trade union?) which might help in the future to stop this trend.

    Effe, You don't miss any chance to amaze us, right? mode ON: Hell ya', this contest is full with HOF material...

    Is that a Type-R? Looks delicious! I hope we see very soon their own Topics. Yes, dashcam videos just a thing, but the live experience!

    Every material has advantages / disadvantages, and accordingly the purpose where to use and not to. LEGO pieces (not ABS material) are not meant for real airplane constructions, just like You don't do campfire with steel tubes. You can always try, why not, but here is pretty pointless, especially that the guys use LEGO plates as raw sheet material for tayloring / converting. It is definitely not a LEGO build = not a flying LEGO plane. If yes, than all RC models should be called as: flying wood/paper/plastic/metal/etc (insert producer's brand name for each)...

    Interesting, but honestly for this project they could use any sheet material, I see nothing LEGO specific. For me it is like hammering with gnocchi... I understand the fun part of it, but...

    If You start the program, go to Parameters tab - select Ground plane color and Background Color. Maybe not exactly this is what You are looking for...

    Thanks, I thought the same before, but 12 minutes later... It is called Bluerender, a very user friendly little Software , with great output, see more here (newest Java must be installed):

    I reworked some connections to make the whole construction of the top gearbox more rigid. Unfortunately in one position (left shifter forward) the gearbox had way too much internal friction, but with some silicon spray it works definitely smoother. To celebrate this small step, I made a gearbox section view in LDD if someone is interested.

    Wow, this is a lot of MOC at once! I especially love the boat - it even looks like SPEED, and the description of the challenges,

    Very cool, balancing on legal- and illegal build boarder. I actually support the use of the properties of materials (like flexibility here). Great solution!

    I would maybe try different colors (yellow, red, blue) for the desk, but not necessary. It might seem simple compared to other entries, but considering what it is, I say: this is a perfect MOC, and one of the best in TC10.

    Thanks Sir for the prompt reply!

    Maybe it is only new to me, but I just figured out (accidentaly), that you can rotate the parts in the catalog as well by dragging them with right click. Is this a new feature?
  17. agrof
    Agree , I am just blinking, what ingenious entries are in this contest... I will have very hard times at voting.
  18. agrof
    I second this. It is a very clean and tastful model.
  19. agrof
    Yes: great interest! I was busy on other fields of life, so unfortunately I didn't do much in LEGO recently...

    Diary registry: Thanks for the several AMAZING entry to the TC10, I grabbed my chubby excavator from the shelf. After proper analysis I found, that the 5.5 L axle wasn't a good choice for the drive to the lower gearbox - I wanted to secure this axle against slipping out, but unfortunatelly due to the length it had collision with the upper gearbox middle drive ring while shifting. I replaced with normal 5 L axle (marked in purple in the picture), now it works OK. Updated LDD file is available HERE.

    I know, but finally no need to buy a Porsche for those, who want them as new and also in dozens. Edit - for sunday:

    It looks amazing till now - except that the front left tyre doesn't sit properly on the rim in the pictures. I don't mind if it is not a scale model, personally I love the MOCs which are a bit (or totally) cartoonish.
  23. agrof
    I really like this small beast, good job. As advice, I recommend to reinforce all the axles which can move (like the steering gear's axles), and build sturdy nest for them. Best way for such, to fix the axles on both sides of the gears.

    It is worth to check the new buildable figures from Star Wars line, they could be nice parts packs (http://brickset.com/sets/75120-1/K-2SO). Some new coloured parts are available, which can be great for MOCing, f.e.: http://brickset.com/parts/design-18654 Also this panel looks interesting, maybe for Technic supercar builds: http://brickset.com/parts/6160104

    That works very smooth, I start to prefer sequential gearboxes. I am just wondering - being not a fan of silicon and/or rubber bands -, if it is possible to deliver the same result with small shock absorbers? As I see, there is enough space for them (even in angled position), also the working distance should be enough too. Would You mind to take a test for it, and create the first LEGO sequential shifter with springs? The only thing which bothers me a bit, is the steering wheel drive: the U-joints are a bit out of the recommended working range under those angles. But if there is no stalling which can injure them, than ok. As far I can judge, maybe You can move the complete dashboard a bit backwards yet, the proportions will probably allow it. The steering wheel can be closer to the seats. Looking forward to the finished (orange? ) MOC!
