There is room behind the seats for that purpose, and it has a gearbox (for the winch and to tilt the skip). The yellow lever is behind the right door, and the changeover catch is in the middle of the model (like 8070). Certainly not dude. :o

An LA for steering would not be reactive enough. I'm convinced the servo is the best option here.

Great ! I cleaned the 10134. But it is a very long and tedious process. It took me 3 hours... :-S Here when public : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=531321 It is not a vector format, but the result is still very good. edit : Henning, great find ! I will add it.

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for AFOL. I will edit each pic to remove the small "specks" of dust. Do you mind if then I share the pics here ? http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=531321 One more thing : would you please accept to redo the scan for 10212 and 10030 ? The color is off (especially the black). I have 7191 somewhere on my laptop. So I guess the only stickers missing are 10026, 7181, 10186 and 10019. If anyone can help....... :)

For small model, you do not need highly detailled pics. You must just catch the spirit of the ship, and the key features, that's it.

I think it is just a matter of time. ;)

Hello, Does anyone know a trick to put link threads on a gear ? I have seen that on 10227 LDD file someone achieved a great circle with thread links, but I do not succeed to do the same. I try to put links in a similar position to what we can see on 8047, 10144, 8288 (with 16t gear).

I guess instructions have the same thing printed. And I doubt it is forbidden to share them on the Internet.

Too bad ! :(

ROFL Those who are currently selling the red helmet of Darth Vader will be mad ! Good for them ! :D

They are. And they always will be. A PM or email would be better for that kind of question (and it would avoid to bump the thread).

Remember 8258. On the first pics, it had a M motor.

Hello fellows, I finally succeded to be in touch with Curtis, so that we could discuss about the instructions. Frousmoul worked with all those 3D softs I do not know anything about ( :D ), and here it is : the instruction for the UCS Invisible Hand. You can see more pages and the bill of materials here : http://www.techlug.f...rtis-black-2011 The instruction is a 240MO and 180 HD page pdf. The price of the instruction is 10€ as always, with the possibility of giving more if you can afford or want to support our work in the Lego community. To buy the instruction, you can be in touch with me by the way you want : PM me here, on youtube, on FlickR, etc. You can also directly email me at setechnic@gmail.com Happy building ! :D

I want to change the wallpaper on my computer screen for some time now. This render will be perfect for that purpose !

This topic deserves to get a medal too.

Well. It was pretty obvious given the price range (300$).

I guess you are right. I never checked it out myself. I have no idea, sorry.

A while ago, somemone emailed me and said 10221 provides 40-41% of the parts.

Wooo... There is a lot of fuss for nothing here. Oo

If you glue bricks and use a steel frame, the structure should require way less than 30,000 bricks. Just imagine. The whole "outside", with all these tiny pieces, is made out of 71,000 elements. The structure has no details, and require big parts. If you use glue and a metal frame, you will need even less bricks. I am pretty sure that 15,000 bricks should be enoug to do a good structure. I PMed you. :)

Very impressive. No need to say that you achieved great/perfect details here... For 70,000 parts, I am pretty sure that you can fund the model with "only" 15000€. Since there are a lot of small pieces, the price may be even lower than that. Whatever. I doubt you will raise that amount of money by selling the LDD file. You should see if : a) you can be in touch with the Lego Group. They spend much more money for some of their project which are IMO way less impressive (the big X-Wing in New York was kind of boring). If you consider that possiblity, I can help you to be in touch with people from Lego Danemark. b) crowd-funding might also be an option. With all the geeks and Star Wars fans in the world, it may work ! ^^ But first, you have to make sure the model will not collapse because of its own weight, and that it is transportable (with either a modular build or a very strong build). Because an Lego Executor like that would certainely participate in several Lego and Star Wars exhibitions.

The tipper looks even smaller with 8109 cab. To change that, and given that you have now the battery box in the cab, the idea would be to shorten the chassis between the back of the cab and the front of the tipper. You may be able to shorten the model by 4 or 5 studs (odd numbers for studless will make things simpler). But for that, you will have to redesign the whole chassis. You can also try to make the tipper 1 stud wider. It will either scrape the red arms, or be better maintained. Dunno. Just try !

Professional instruction available for sale (see next post) : Hello, Sometimes ago, I reproduced the Invisible Hand of Curtis Black. UCS Invisible Hand by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Invisible Hand by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Invisible Hand by Anio, sur Flickr UCS Invisible Hand by Anio, sur Flickr You can see it on FlickR : Brickshelf : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=463293 Frousmoul and I would like to offer a professional instruction for that model based on CurtisB's work. Stay tuned !

Round ends also enables to do so many things impossible with studful. By the way : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57658
