  1. What bothers me is the difference in speed between the bunny and the wheel. Maybe speeding up a bit the bunny and slowing a bit the wheel would be a good solution.
  2. A very refreshing GBC module! I really like the bunny and the flowers I'm a bit concerned by the speed of the ring compared to the speed of the bunny.
  3. That's what Lepin actually do, taking a look at unreleased Ideas MOCs... and release them without any consent of the original builder.
  4. A little update on a MOC I did for Andromeda's Gates RBG . It now has working steering front axle and working front suspensions. Also some updates here and there... Octan Sandbeetle by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr Octan Sandbeetle by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr

  8. The contest is now closed! Thanks everyone for your participation. Voting thread will be posted as soon as possible after I've reviewed each entry.
  9. That means you should have one vehicle, but that vehicle could carry other. Like a truck with a motorcycle inside or attached to.
  10. Again a shameless bump as I now have taken a picture of the underside. I had to do some maintenance on a landing gear, so I took the opportunity to take a picture. Under the pilgrim's robes by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr
  11. Thanks guys! I'll try to shot a new video this week end!
  12. Correct, there's no 1x8 black tile printed with the name of the building, which feels... refreshing
  13. That's ok. That's not ok... The rules clearly specify a maximum size of 24x24. If you can't modify your entry before the deadline, your entry will be disqualified.
  14. Visit the Guggenheim Museum of New York in the review of the set 21035 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum!
  15. Introduction Hi fellow EB members! In this early spring, Lego takes us to a walk on the 5th avenue, New York. The Guggenheim Museum is worldwide known for its art collection as well as for its architecture. I'm not sure what LEGO thinks of art, but I'm sure they're very interested in architecture, and that's why they released the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum as their new set in the Architecture theme! Thanks to EB LUG Ambassador CopMike and the LEGO CEE Team and Designers for giving me the opportunity to review this set! Set information Name: 21035 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Theme: LEGO Model Making / Architecture Year: 2017 Pieces: 744 Price: USD 79.99, GBP 64.99, EURO 69.99 Resources: Brickset , BrickLink Packaging The box comes in the usual LEGO Architecture 's black livery, but in an odd almost square shape. It is also quite thick, as there's 744 parts to stuff in. The front shows the full set, proudly standing on blueprints against the black background. On the upper left corner is a rather big LEGO Architecture logo and just under is the name of the set and its location in the world and the set's sizes... Nothing fancy here, just the good old Architecture box! The back of the box has a front shot of the set and a picture of the real buildings and a short comment on the museum in a few languages. Size of the set is also indicated: 190mm wide and 125mm tall. Content of the box The box is almost full, with the instruction booklet and 6 unnumbered bags, one of which contains a brick separator for your collection. Instructions booklet The 167 pages instructions booklet is, as always with Architecture sets, very well done and good looking with the classic black background. There are a lot of nice pictures of the building and its interior, with lots of facts. The instructions are easy to follow and no color errors should be made. You can see here one the many pictures and facts that pop up in the corners of the booklet. You can also see that some steps need quite a bunch of parts, but I reassure you, many steps onl require a single plate! Build First steps passed. If you look closely, you may notice a big change compared to the other sets of the theme... The set makes a great use of the newly released rounded tiles to add details. The build uses lots of 1/2 studs offsets and snot techniques. Continuig with the building... The technique used to achieve the rounded sections is really nice and makes use of many new parts. The finished set in all his glory! My finger hurts of placing all those tan 1x1 tiles! As always there are some spare parts. Interesting parts The set comes with a nice selection of white curved slopes, and among them the rather new 3x2 white curved slope. Three 2x3 white tiles are also present. The set is also at the moment the best source for 1x1 quarter round tiles in light bluish gray. Parts in new or rare colors include the 6x6 round plate in white and black, the 10x10 inverted dish in sand green, the 2x4 wedge plate in sand green, a 3x3 cross plate in tan, a white 1x3x1 panel , and 4 of the new 1x1modified brick with 2 studs on adjacent sides in black! And of course two nice printed tile and curved slope with the museum's name on it. Conclusion Design: 9/10 - A really nice set in the Architecture theme! One of my favorite. Parts: 8/10 - Some very interesting parts in this set, and maybe more variety than other sets of the theme. Build: 8/10 - An interesting build, not too monotonous. Price: 7/10 - At 9.4 cent per part, this set is in the price average of the Architecture theme's sets. Overall: 32/40 (80%) - I really enjoyed building this set! I think it may be one of the best set of the recently released Architecture sets. If you're a fan of the theme, go grab it, you won't regret it.
  16. On behalf of Eurobricks, I was given the opportunity to test the Buwizz brick. Thanks Jim and the guys behind Buwizz for this! I'm not a Technic builder (but I was many, many years ago...), but I'm very interested in this theme and also on adding movement and functions in system builds. That's the main reason I was very excited to test the Buwizz brick! My first tests with the brick were pretty bad but were due to a not updated app. So first step with your brick should always be updating both the application and the brick itself. After that, everything went fine. I won't talk about the technical specifications of the Buwizz brick (as many other have already done that, and they also did that way better that I'll ever could) but I'll first tell you what I like and dislike about the brick, and then present you the MOC I built to test it. Good points As a system builder, I always have a problem with available space to hide all those Power Functions motors, battery boxes, IR receiver and cables. The Buwizz brick solves almost half of these by integrating a battery box with a Bluetooth receiver in a 4x8x3 box. The application is easy to use and the brick response time is nearly perfect. Charging the brick with a micro-usb cable is great, as I could charge it almost everywhere. Bad points I'm frustrated by the application! There's no possibility (for now) to create your own control profile, and controlling PF lights is difficult since there's no on/off buttons. I would have liked to have more data on the brick, like the level of the battery, the software version, and so on... I'm sure that the guys at Buwizz are working hard on the application, so I'm sure we can expect some great things in the future! Now let's see some actual Lego! As a proud Technic Noob, I tried to stick to things I know but also to do some learning on how all those tiny gears work. That's why I decided to continue the work I started with the little drone I built some time ago. Since you all like schematics, let's start with a cool schema that will make me look like I know my Technic's basics, and then some pictures and crappy videos! (I promise, I'll shot a better one as soon as I could)
  17. No, your entry must fit in a 48x48 studs area
  18. Very nice collection @Fairsy! Just received the Guggenheim set, will try to get the review out asap
  19. Only a few days left to enter the Braaiiinnss!!! contest! If you want to win one of the prizes provided by The Lego Group and BrickWarriors, you should hurry and enter the contest!
  20. Guggenheim is supposed to be on shelves on April 1st...
  21. Last warning, or it will end soon...
  22. Thanks guys. I did more tests and the clutch gear did slips. I tried with rubber band but with no success, so I kept the clutch gear, but swapped it with the 8T gear! I hope to show you soon what I'm building
