    I've always liked to make things and lego, both technic and system bricks, allows me to do it. In the past I never had enough lego to do what I wanted but now I have enough (I think) I don't have much time (hence very little mocs from me). I am also working on other non lego projects on my PC so now lego is like a therapy for me. H

    I'm no expert engineer but you need to consider the weight of the vehicle when deciding on motors. The M motor is too small, from what im seeing you need a step up. A larger motor will cover you if and when you add more to it. H

    Love these models. Now what you could do is make the black and white saloon a Police car, the brown van could be made into an ambulance or some sort of common delivery van that people might see (maybe DHL, UPS or Amazon). The yellow estate car is screaming at me to be one of those american ambulance's of back in the day. Of course you maybe need more parts but you have a nice range to "build on" Lol. Your larger model is great but you will more than likely need the L motor or the XL Motor and mount the receiver so the top just pokes out (like a bump on the head) and the AA battery pack. I'm sure you will do it. H

    Very clever modifications. What you have done with the engine and added gear box is very clever indeed. I think this set was made to be modified. H

    Good review. I mentioned in my reply for the crane about the colour mess of the chassis. This is much better. I posted earlier about this set that it should include some mindstorms so it could be "autonomous" and carry out a few tasks. H

    Good review, Jim. If I was looking to add to my collection I would buy this set and I love the alternative B model (great work). But I don't like the multi coloured chassis as shown from the underneath image. If they want to colour code they could have made the gear box in blue, the diffs could be housed in red and so on. The underneath image looks really bad and makes no sense to use so many different colours. H

    Your modifications so far are great. Good job putting the engine in the front, the gears and the steering are much needed improvements. I would change the front end too. It needs an air intake (grille) at the front to cool your engine. I'm not a fan of the overall colour of the car but I understand if you cant change it. Maybe change the seat colour to a light or dark grey. H

    Very nice! I like the inside with a proper steering wheel, seat and leg room. The pneumatic jacks are a great addition. H

    Very nice crawler and very effective. Are those third party wheels? H

    Look forward to seeing this one in action. H

    Great review, Jim. Lego did a great job on this one. As you said the rear end is epic and the colours work very well, I like the suspension set up and notice they are using the ball cup beam from 42021 instead of the usual ball cup part as used in the porsche and rally car. The gear shift is very clever and everyone seems to be ok with it so far. H

    The BMW bike looks really good. I did not know lego did blue and green springs. H

    Interesting video by Volvo and Lego. I like the set, though its not as smooth as it could be. Watching the video I thought why is this set not a mind storms project. That way it could be programmed to go around and do whatever. H

    What nice vehicles. I would say these are model team builds. Fill those gaps in, you can open the doors through the gap where the doors wind screen would be. My favourite is the van. H

    Very nice. We all have to start somewhere. At least you've completed a moc to present (which is more than I can say for yourself). I've not completed anything for a while. I would change the panel with the "Volvo" name and put it at the end of the boom. Keep it up. H

    I like it. Is that red tape I see on the bonnet and roof? H

    I also have other interests besides lego ( I sometimes think i have too much interests) which take up a lot of my time, I also work fulltime so lego does not get enough time. I have the past few weeks built half a car chassis, a 3rd of a truck chassis and some tank tracks with suspension. I also have the chassis of 42069 sat on my table. I try and put something together for a few minutes at the end of the day i think this prevents a dark age creeping in. H

    Love the quadcopter! H

    Interesting video. For years I never had the parts to build other sets that came along, now it seems I have so that's what i'm doing. Colours will differ but I hope to pull it off. I want to adapt and improve and add more functions. The B model to 42039 is very appealing. My biggest problem now is finding time! H

    To me this is a beginner/starter set for technic, the score of average is correct (compared to the sets we've seen in the past few years) but with mitigating circumstances. I would buy it for the parts and those fans are just brilliant. My main issue is i'm not a fan of water based vehicles as i don't live near a lake or river and i dont have a bath tub (we have shower). A boat set or hovercraft set I would want it to float for real. H

    I was thinking of buying this set for the wheels but I have so much red already. its a decent starter set but It would be interesting to make the set more functional. H
  22. Lakop
    Look forward to it. I know what its like when you start something and really want to finish it but life gets in the way. Keep at it. H
  23. Lakop
    The iconic A-Team van very well executed! Great work. Would love to see a KITT from knight rider. H
  24. Lakop
    Black and red could be a batmobile/ H

    If you do need extra money for now then ensure you get a good price for it. Then work to improve things and you can always buy new lego, but the decision is yours. H
