  1. So today one of my new pens broke and while looking at it I just thought of an odd idea: What if I took the spring out of the pen and used it in Legos? Usually I'm a purist for these types of things albeit not a very strict one as the only things i hate are cutting and gluing, but I just had to try this. It proved to be easier said than done as the spring was very tightly placed inside the pen and it refused to budge. I eventually had to use a hammer to crack the pen and take the spring out. Once i got it out I threaded it onto an axle which proved to be a snug fit, but it worked. I made a basic suspension similar to the one in Dikkie Klijn's Mclaren. (Sorry for pic quality used my phone) This worked reasonably well. I also put it on a regular suspension piece Here it is compared to a normal hard suspension piece. It's a bit softer than that, but unfortunatley I don't have any softer springs to compare it to. I just thought it was an interesting idea. If any of you want to try it, here's the pen I used http://www.amazon.co...t/dp/B001GAOTSW Not really cheap so I wouldn't recommend purposely breaking any new pens for this. I'd love to see if there are other pen springs that could work too. Thanks for reading and back to being a sort of purist
  2. Great X Wing and I love the water
  3. Great work. I'm still amazed how much you crammed in there
  4. This looks amazingly dense. Looking forward to seeing the final model
  5. I'm a big fan of small models with a lot of functions and this is no exception. It looks very nice
  6. I love the look of the Defender. Its also a much more affordable option for those of us who can't build your larger Defender . Can you take a picture with both models together?
  7. 16:10 15:6 22:4 10:2 13:3 9:1 I had a really tough time voting as there were many entries I liked but only so many points to give. Also props to Jim for such an interesting contest. At first it seemed that not too many people were interested as there were few entries, but It soon picked up and produced a lot of interesting stuff
  8. Absolutely fantastic creation. The amount of firepower is just great
  9. Great entry. It has an old yet modern feel to it with the 8448 wheels but the new style parts
  10. Awesome entry. The transformation is great and the modes look very different
  11. This sounds too good to be true, but this year sounds like it will be good if just half of this is right
  12. Looking at this model more, it kinda looks like a mini vampire gt with the front area and gull wings
  13. Sorry to hear this and sad to see you go. I would be interested in a few of your items and can send a PM, but where are you located?
  14. I already like the looks of the van. Looking forward to seeing what the transformation will be
  15. Very nice buggy. What tires did you use? They look very nice
  16. Great model. The details are nice and the transformation is well hidden
  17. That looks absolutely fantastic. Amazing work as always
  18. Awesome alternate model. The LA exhaust is very original
  19. I'm in Zurich for the next several days. Does anyone know any places with Lego sales here?
  20. Congratulations on completing this complex model . Now what's the next challenge? I'm sure whatever it is you can conquer it
  21. I'd say buy the 8070. Nice set and a good parts pack. I bought 2 for parts; however, I would wait as you can usually get an 8070 cheaper than 120 just be patient
  22. I love your creations so I'm looking forward to more updates
  23. Awesome build. The wiring must have been a pain
  24. Looks amazing. Shame he had to paint some parts. I hope the rest of the model is pure Lego
  25. The only alternative I can think of is black. If the parts were available, I'd love to see one in orange. Any chance someone (Blakbird )could make a render in orange?
