That’s a beauty

Thanks @MangaNOID I’ll download it when I’m home back from holiday.

Thanks @Thirdwigg so it is fractionally smaller. Good to know

@Jim i don’t have that steering wheel. Is it a medium size to how between the standard large Technic one and the smaller ones? If so could you do a comparison pic?

@syclone thanks for the white render … thankfully the cars for sale (2x blue, 2 x white) on eBay in the U.K. are £15k and I don’t have that sort of money at the moment and my mx-5 is taking up the garage 🤣

One of my favourite Kai cars, looks great. Can it be built in white as the primary colour as I’ve seen a lot of them in white and think it looks very racer style like that

@Berthil those stands look great I may have to dig my 2 cars out of the loft and build them

I bought the MP4/4 and FW14B (my era of F1). I like both models, they’re big and look great to display but at the moment are away in trays. They’re not easy to build and worth reading a few stages in advance just in case you need to do something clever with the assembly you’re on.

From what I remember Rosco’s F1 cars with a file you can upload into a wish list in your brick link account. From there you can use as people have said bricklinks own tools to find the optimum stores for you. I have 2 of his F1 cars and a few other large MOCs from other sellers and anyone of good standard should provide a file you can load into brick link or easily edit to make it compatible.

@Jundis a long time ago we did a mini build contest, can’t remember what TC it was but feels like a long time. @msk6003 Do you mean vehicles with tracks? Would be interesting I do like the Extreme Adventure set. Although I did convert mine to have Wheels 🤣 @Bartybum a Walker competition would be interesting but I have a feeling most of us would end up with similar mechanisms after Googling how they work. I’m sure @Jim & @Milan have some great ideas up their sleeves. We’ve had some great competitions for lots of years now

So many yellow parts … getting ready to do a raid on parts ordering if I don’t buy the whole set!

I like comments in my WIP threads, I sometimes take some suggestions on as I did on the Tipper but sometimes I don’t as it’s not along the lines I’m thinking. And sometimes a suggestion actually takes my thought process down a new route completely

@howitzer all my videos are just made with my iPhone (same as all my photos). You’ll notice I don’t have a studio as photos and videos are either on a desk or somewhere else around my house. I use Flickr for sharing photos and for my videos I use an app I got years ago called Splice to link and edit my video clips, it’s very simple to use which is great for my skill level!

I often end up buying parts I need for a TC build from bricklink. I think for TC20 this was the curved red panel and some red connectors, so not a huge amount. But like many others I don’t have any of the modern Control+ sets. If got PF and an Sbrick and none of the Control+ sets have interested me especially for the prices they are. But for competitions I think Jim and Milan should continue what they’re doing with coming up with different themes was they’ve managed fantastically to do for 20 competitions. myself I’d still like a “great egg race” type competition where you have to build a contraption to solve a problem. But that requires everyone to make a video to prove they solved it, which I know is not possible for all

That’s a great looking tractor. Any more details on how all the functions work?

The opposite to what you thought TC20 was 🤔

Thanks @Milan and looking forward to what you and @Jim have lined up for us next

@Jim how do the other parts of the forum run competitions? I’ve never looked myself. Is there something we can learn from them in terms of voting?

Yes us Brits wouldn’t get anywhere @Jim tv programmes often use judge voting to thin the entrants and then the final decision is public

@howitzer yes quite a few people (not just in this competition) don’t actually post a WIP thread as such and instead make a thread at the last minute when their model is complete. I think some are worried about people stealing ideas. I like reading the WIP threads as it shows you someone’s thought process and construction techniques and I think helps all of us learn to be better builders. You also get people making a WIP thread with no progress just an idea! I’d like some form of requirement to actually show progress in this thread. as to the voting I think it’s always difficult. I’d say get it on the front page as soon as voting is open

Thanks to @Jim and @Milan and those who voted me into the top 10. This has been such a great competition and I loved every minute of my build and also seeing lots of models from my Dark Ages and interesting modern interpretations of them. Congrats to @Thirdwigg on winning. It was great to see some Classic / Vintage Technic winning. let’s hope Jim and Milan can come up with more competitions like this to get such a fantastic response in entries. well done all

Yes you’ll need some vertical liftarms to brace your structure. You can’t rely on clutch power of the bricks alone

I don’t see why there would be any more sets in this year. The “reveal” of the CAT aligns to all the expectations for sets this year so I’d assume they’re just vacant numbers.

From everything I’ve read the CAT is the last Technic for 2021 and has always expected to be. So yes those numbers must be vacant ones

That’s a beast of a model. Not sure if it’s a day 1 purchase. Might wait for any deals
