    I highly doubt a mobile crane is the kind of vehicle you must do to sell a lot of instructions. There are tons of cranes on the Internet. And there is 42009, which is fine for many people. Just my 2 cents.

    I am not a Technic Builder. My stuff is rather related to Star Wars and Architecture. From my experience : Regarding the instructions : If you sell instruction, it has to be a professional work. Forget low quality instruction, or instruction made with photos, etc. You must provide top quality. You can make some money by selling instructions, but certainely not enough to make a living. Regarding real models : Sometime people want the model delivered as a kit, sometimes they want it delivered already built. In any case, if you design the right model (Lego skills) and sell it well to the right client (business skills, and the need to develop a profesionnal network), I think it is easy to make enough money from it to live. Note that the right model essentially means the models other people can not do. In any field, when you are one of a kind to do something, it is not so hard to make money. True. And so, it requires a permanent surveillance on the Internet, which is tedious and boring. True, but... in fact it doesn't work like that. When you provide a service and ask money for it, having mistakes is not an option. As I said, if you want to be successful, it has to be a professional and reliable work. Exactly ! Try yourself, and you will figure out yourself if it is worth the effort or not. ;)

    This is why I never read Brickset reviews.

    Exactly. You totally got it ! Unfortunately, I won't. I can not spend more time on that project. Moreover, if it were bigger, it would be almost impossible to display it at the Château of Cheverny. It is in a small room on the left, when you enter the Château. edit :

    Thank you a lot to everyone ! You help is really greatly appreciated. The auctions are gone. Hope the guy won't post them again.

    I am very picky when it comes to credit, but... you want credit for the use of a 6x6 dish ? What's the next step ? Someone asking credit for using a LBG 2x4 plate ? Oo edit : the dish/radar seems to be quite an obvious choice given how the model is in reality : http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/d/dd/AT-AT_cockpit.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130122180138&path-prefix=nl

    Moreoever, the guy is an as*. He told me basically "I changed the cover, and did the plans myself, so they are not yours". Typically the kind of person I can't stand.

    I have no interest in all those new models. But they seem very well designed to me. Lot of details, nice textures, good joins in the angled sections, etc, etc. I am not very fond of the final models, but I think designers did a great job.

    No one does. My point :

    Hello guys, I found another "guy" (not to say something more insulting...) who is actually selling most of my work... T_T So I will need you help again. http://www.ebay.fr/sch/kokyna/m.html?item=282112837047&hash=item41af3c45b7%3Ag%3ASNwAAOSwENxXll5e&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Can you please help me to report all these auctions ? http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-Venator-Over-5000-Pcs-/282114354476?hash=item41af536d2c:g:pewAAOSwukdXcLSK http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-Speeder-Bike-Over-1600-Pcs-/282119995788?hash=item41afa9818c:g:HakAAOSwnQhXn519 http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-Anakin-Skywalker-PodRacer-Over-500-Pcs-/282107473283?hash=item41aeea6d83:g:SiwAAOSwdzVXj9IX http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-SITH-INFILTRATOR-Over-1000-Pcs-/282112837047?hash=item41af3c45b7:g:SNwAAOSwENxXll5e http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-Armored-Assult-Tank-Over-1000-Pcs-/282111274695?hash=item41af246ec7:g:WcAAAOSw4s9XlKWH http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-AT-AT-Over-2000-Pcs-/282111490869?hash=item41af27bb35:g:nYsAAOSwdzVXlOfH http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Custom-Manual-per-make-LEGO-STAR-WARS-BB-8-Over-2000-Pcs-/282109660908?hash=item41af0bceec:g:sAAAAOSwRgJXknHD Thank you !

    And almost as always, Technic contests organised by TLG failed in a way... The contest about 9398/41999 is the only exception.

    Thank you !!

    I am sure that the final model has a way better playability than the prototype version. With one single function, the final model enable to control the arm VERY easily. On the prototype version, where the arm is more or less like 8258, I am sure the controls are a pain. (also note that the outriggers seems to be attached in a much lower position on the prototype than on the final model)

    Of course this is what your pictures show. The question is rather if there is an "update kit" available at the customer service for more than 6 months. Moreover, if such a kit exists, the part itself does not exist according to bricklink.

    One more thing : at the end of the booklet instruction, the inventory shows a 2x10x3 windscreen... Oo
  16. Anio
    Not so sure. In the Beetle, it is trans-clear while the windscreens of the Cooper are trans-black. Moreoever, the comment from Lego was made in December 2015.

    Hi, I read this today on 10242 page of the Swiss Lego Shop at Home : I never saw anyone having an updated version of the 10242. And I could not find any 2x10x3 windscreen on Bricklink... Does anyone know more on that matter ?
  18. Anio
    I am not sure I understand what you mean. The belt works also as a chain in order to rotate the bucket wheel. And the quadrant racks rotate with the wheel.

    This and this in the same sentence. It can't be true. C'mon, this set is an unstructured mess...

    I wrote my review, and kinda disagree with that. The tubing is not perfect ok, but not so terrible compared to 42043 for example. I think the controls are easy to remember, even without stickers. Definitely sooo muuuuch easier to remember than models with tons of controls : 8258, 8110, 42043 8293 makes moves much smoother. Plus, it prevents the locking point of the blades from breaking (it always break when pumping with regular pump). http://www.techlug.fr/review-lego-technic/42053/pelle-sur-pneus-volvo-ew160e-42053--2016

    I have the same feeling. Btw, I think the part behind the windscreen could be 1 stud longer. With or classic slope 2x1 + instead of ( is not available in blue, this is why you have to do your A-Wing in dark red. :D :D )
  23. Anio
    Very good look, functions and playability. You did a great model ! Only the cabin might need some improvement. Maybe it is possible with the parts you have left.

    PM sent.
