[TC10] Little Bulldozer
agrof replied to Appie's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Holy cow! The perfect example, that You don't need to build grandiose to amaze and pack features (skills). This tiny MOC meets easily a lot medium and large scale "competitor" - like 42028-, both feature and design-wise. Bravo! :thumbup: -
Thanks for watching guys! I am not sure about this, this is typically the case, what I have described above (CAD-pdf made based on photo instructions). There is added value, which can be evaluated, but of course there is the question, if this person has the approval from Madoca. If yes, I see no problem with this item. But probably the answer is no, as Madoca's name is nowhere referred... so the copyright issue seems to be valid.

Ferrari FXX Supercharged V12
agrof replied to Lox Lego's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Fantastic MOC Brothers! I could only repeat the already mentioned comments. I am not sure about the white fence parts on the rear, and indeed the doors could open in wider angle, but the look and the chassis overall: . The front picture is especially an eye-catcher.- 142 replies

[MOC] RC Off-roader With SBrick
agrof replied to KevinMoo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
For me the roof is a bit off, could be 1 stud lower. But other than that, I can just say, it is amazing. Again. :thumbup: Love the front , the rear, the drivetrain, and the video (+ points earned not to edit out the cute end )!- 14 replies

I have explained to this user(s), that a whole community has an eye on ebay, and we will report such items without giving further warning in the future. ( I hope, I am not the only one there.) I also kindly asked to respect the intellectual properties in general. CAD instructions, f.e.: there is only photo sequence instructions available. Somebody doesn't like it much for some reasons (understandable), and prefer to have proper LEGO like CAD based pdf instructions. He/she builds a CAD model and creates step-by-step instructions. There is effort and added value then. Of course in such cases it is still nice to contact the original authors as well, and to give credits.

Thanks Chade for warning, I think we should track such issues here. I will keep on scanning Ebay time to time, and report these. Funny, it was just happening as I found another (??) user with Madoca's and Nico71's instructions - again from Herford, Germany. I sent a message to him and asked him not to do this in the future (auf deutsch), and in the next minute the questionable items disappeared. We will see. Please note, that there are examples where somebody has created CAD pdf building instructions based on photo instructions. There is also credit to designer and so on. In such cases I don't see any problem, if somebody took the effort and there is added value behind.

I put "watermark" in my instructions, that it may not spreaded for money. Maybe we should add it on all pages/photos from now on. Of course this didn't stop this user... I reported all articles, and asked about them. Hopefully it will be showed up below the description soon, so no more ebayer will be trapped.

I am supporting the idea of Lipko too. The career of this MOC deserves for sure a PRO tag.

You have a remarkable build character in your cars yet. It looks good, I like the cartoonish proportions, and a big like for the compressor imitation! Original idea. Still, I wouldn't use superlatives - known Madoca's Trophy Truck, but this does not meant to degrade Your MOC. It just gives more Inspiration. What I don't see, if the bodywork has structural elements cross-wise. As far I can judge from the pictures, now the pins can pop-out, and the truck could fall apart. This is something I am also still learning. Waiting for the test ride! p.s.: by the way, it is a buggy in the mentioned video.

Technic Hall of Fame Discussion
agrof replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Without any offense, there might be something, what we don't see. Can You explain, please? There are instructions available for the 919 and for 42039 (if this is the base of the MOD) too, so we can compare. edit: nominating doesn't mean to be obligated for adding, there is no question about. I am just wondering how You consider this as a MOD? -
Here is a comparison for Lego 42056 and Lepin 20001 Porsche GT3, if someone is interested: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=159&t=1615833&i=40

[MOC] TT-S14 Trial Crawler
agrof replied to Stari89's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I join to the club regarding the chain question. Are they used for the steering, right? I assume, as it is the 14th (!) crawler of You, there must be some know-how (f.e.: the double cardan tramsmission to the axles). By the way, excellent bodywork! :thumbup: -
[MOC] Street/Drift car

Help with EB account removal
agrof replied to Myers Lego Technic's topic in Forum Information and Help
Myers, I don't think there was any stir (at least any serious). :) What happened, is normal discussion, it is a pity, that in written user interface it is harder to get the right impressions. If such happens face to face, I am sure You would have different feelings now. But the main thing: don't make any thoughts about it. Lego (not just Technic) is a wonderful and creative hobby, which helps to get away from all day stress, it helped me a lot too. Here in this forum You will get overall a supporting community. Yes, some have individual style of communication, but there is always a helping thought behind. ;) Let's build! :) -

Looking at the quality and how Lepin develops on international market, I hope that some "healthy" competition will force LEGO to make some develpment on our (customers) advantage. Like reducing prices. Under "healthy" competition I mean, that Lepin starts to make own designs, and not just takes over the actual Lego sortiment. Though, I can not blame anyone, who buys copies of outdated or overpriced sets.
