^ Isn't such a blanket approach kinda shortsighted (not to mention bad business)? You could do something similar to what mahjqa did with his Tumbler instructions: I'm also curious how you define "that part of the world".

Thanks for the kind words. Using ZNAP is a great idea - try it!

Little American Truck
vmln8r replied to Appie's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The transfer of control from the trailer to the truck is wonderfully done; how does it go, reliability wise? The details are also pretty spectacular at this scale. Great work!- 31 replies

42000 Grand Prix Racer Mod!
vmln8r replied to Perry15's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is juvenile. Build something > take pictures > share it; it's that simple. -
Mini Tatra 10x10
vmln8r replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That logic seems kinda silly to me. If it's simple, and it works, then why not? No steering = small and light = excellent performance. -
Motorised Astromechs
vmln8r replied to vmln8r's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Excellent! The A-team van is particularly nice, great colour scheme. Do you mind if I share them on my flickr (crediting you, of course)? -
Motorised Astromechs
vmln8r replied to vmln8r's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
TechAd; glad that you liked this enough to endure through the LDD building sequence. My time for Lego is limited, and it's either a case of making instructions for old stuff like this or trying to make new things. So if people are willing to make stepped instructions, I'd be very grateful. Tilo; super job! Seeing these pictures makes makes it all worthwhile, thank you. I still try to build as much as possible; actually finishing something worth publishing is the hard part. -
^ Sure. Nothing wrong with reinforcing the status quo, right?

Motorised Astromechs
vmln8r replied to vmln8r's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Not sure if you've seen this image, or if it'll help, but I don't have the time for stepwise instructions. Is there something specific you're stuck on? LDD was only intended to be a quick way to store the model for future reference. Also, the outer legs, middle leg and gearbox use the same motor, so have to be synchronised correctly. -
[WIP] Lamborghini Diablo SV
vmln8r replied to tomaslambo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Those lines are looking pretty damn perfect. I quite like the elegance of the open look it has at the moment, rather than mashing every manner of beams to fill the gaps.- 13 replies

[MINI] Astromech
vmln8r replied to vmln8r's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks to you all :) Zblj; considered some options like that, but didn't want to System it up too much, to keep in consistent with most similarly-sized sets. -
[MINI] Astromech
vmln8r replied to vmln8r's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you! 'Twas a pain to fill in the back area. Those 9L links move as the third leg is deployed, to keep the feet balanced; unfortunately that means the central has only 5 studs of clearance. -
47. Astromech Name: Astromech Parts: 189 Functions: Deploying third leg + tilting the chassis forward and keeping the legs level (one control knob) Deploying and operating a grabber arm (one control knob) Head rotation (manual) Promotional image: Parts image: More images and info at the [MINI] thread: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=98383

It's got the same functionality as this one ('cept without Power Functions). There's 189 parts in all (cf. set #8009). There are two control knobs at the rear (the head spins manually). One deploys the third leg, tilts the chassis forward and keeps the legs level: The other deploys and operates a grabber arm: The Rest: Guts: Sorry these parts aren't nicely arranged; time has been pretty tight. Hopefully they are all discernible (if not, here's a cobbled together LDD file):

[MINI] Tumbler

Excellent functionality! Lovely steering, and I love the shaping, angles and panel use. -
[WIP] Lancia Stratos
vmln8r replied to piterx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hot damn; that bodywork Love the integration with the battery box at the rear; I'm curious to see how you'll manage the low front. -
Flight using Lego

[WIP] Lancia Stratos
vmln8r replied to piterx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Performance looks great. Does the internal protection of the battery boxes ever kick in with this setup? Perhaps not on the low-friction surface you're using, but what about outdoors or if you encounter an obstacle? -
Love the concept. However, I always thought that connecting two motors together like that is going to cause losses due to variances in their speed? If each motor powered a single rear wheel, you could lose the diff. The ratio at the moment I believe is 1:1.19 (20:12 * 20:28). (also great to hear a NZ accent + Technic in the same video)
