I feel like people didn't care about scale going in and will ignore in when voting. I feel "True to scale was meant to be as close to 1:1 as you could, a little over or a little under would be ok. The bigger builds look great, but don't hate me for my two cents.

Thank you for your appreciation. Now I can work in the contest.

Ok

I was thinking of doing the the 8448, or has it been done before?

Thank you. They do, however they rub when turning. The Jeep tires are 56 and these are 49 and I only have two of the others.

Thank you. I tried my best.

I set out to make a mini crane. I then had the Idea to use 42082 as the reference and make a mini version. Making a smaller version of a Lego model can be hard to do because some aspects can't be, or hard to scale down. This was true here as using the wheels as the point for scale and some of the 42082 can't be scaled in half. So I just rolled with it and had a good model, but I didn't like how I did the features. Mainly the outriggers were independent and I wanted them all to function as one. It took me longer then I will admit, but mission accomplished! It has: 4 wheel steering Raise and lowering boom Extending boom Outriggers Winch and extension uses 3L friction pin with stop bush to "lock" them A few more pictures are on Bricksafe. Instructions: Rebickable instructions

Looks more like a main model! Great job!

Great work on this. Still has the angry look.

This is excellent! Now I want more parts so I can play Farming Simulator with Technic!

How about tracks, tank, and plane?

Dude, that's a lot of parts! Looks huge and amazing!

Looks like it's for the tractor pulls!

So does that mean we ban talk about custom 3d printed parts? Or the sell of 3d printed parts? What about custom made parts? Shouldn't this hood fall in with those? If it's not from a set put out by a clone/bootleg brand or Lego, then wouldn't be a custom made accessory? I think the hood is nice and if someone want to buy it for their model let them, because they might buy it to put on before they put the model on display in their house.

I love it! It's so beautiful!

Thank you. People use them more then some of the "usual" Lego builds, so why not make them! I'm thinking on making instructions for them all.

Thank you and glad you like the drill press! It was the hardest of the four.

Most likely weight was too much and/or power was too low.

I'm trying to build the least build type of stuff this year. I wanted them to function like the real ones. Sadly that o-ring didn't want to work right. Thank you. Thank you. Someone has to build the other stuff, right? I had come across a couple larger scale one when I was looking at wood lathes on Google. I might try to make one later this year.

I am back with more of the lesser known/made MOC's. I looked and looked and found mostly minifig size stuff and a few all Technic builds. So I went on a search for power tools. Had a few ideas on which to make, settled on four. Trying to make them all to a same "scale" was a challenge as 2 of them don't really scale well as some functions are small in regular size. But I pushed forward and came out with four tools to help you build Lego dreams. They are: Band saw. I had trouble with a "band" to use. I used chain links for the blade as I didn't want to buy a big O-ring. So to make the chain spin, I used the type 2 turntable. That gave me enough diameter for a close scale, but it adds to the thickness of the build. It has a blade guide that can adjust up and down. The top turntable can be cranked lower to allow replacing of the "blade". The power is transmitted via an old O-ring I had. Table Saw. The swinging cradle for the blade and motor proved to be hard as the real ones have a crescent slider with the center of the arch at the top of the table. So for the scale, I had to use pins and make swing that way. The rest of the build is straight forward; that blade tilts, raises, and lowers. Drill Press. This was the hardest one to do! The sliding spindle made it real hard for this scale. I ended up using one of the new hubs because the axle slides in it . Then I had to make a way to move the shaft down and have it automatically return. I was able to with a gear rack and some tiny rubber bands. Last was how to get three speeds of power transmission. Using another old O-ring, I had to work out the pullies. Wood Lathe. Last and the easiest by far! I could have chose to do a more modern power system with a variable speed, but that would require the train remote and take a way from the design. I was unable to do the closed triple pully as the space of the scale prevented the use of the grey pully. So I just used a big and small double bevel gear. Here the links to the videos of them Band Saw, Lathe, Table Saw, and Drill Press. More pictures on Bricksafe.

This! Looks so good!

Lego is your hobby/love and working there would probably kill that love/passion for Lego as a hobby. A lot of people that dream of working at Lego don't realize you go from a hobby to an almost naked versions of what you do. But they do sometimes bring work home. To add from the job listing: "Collaborate across: Work closely with a cross-functional team in a creative, international, and open-minded environment. Strong communication skills to pitch concept ideas - both verbally and visually • A high level of self-motivation and time management to reach deadlines • A firm belief that great design work is a team effort and knowing how to both give and receive constructive feedback" Most MOC's are made by one person whenever they get time. Some people don't like to work with others and/or deadlines.

I have this I'm going to use in a crane build later this year.

I came across this use this morning. It's metal, but you could do something similar with the treaded axle.

It looks so nice! It just needs a "Clarkson" figure driving.
