  1. ISOGAWA Yoshihito posted this of a Lego "Short Train", with its cars all linked together. See more about it here. He posted this on this Train Turntable; read more about it here. Finally, he posted a about this Lego "Fan Train". See more about it here.
  2. ISOGAWA Yoshihito posted three YouTube videos of a simple Lego Technic "Space Elevator" for ferrying supplies to/from the International Space Station. -- Basic Model . You could strap on a small video camera, and climb the side of a building or up a bridge with something like this. See more here. -- Terra and Space Model . See more here. Video 3 -- Space Elevator NXT Gripper Model: . This operates much like a rock climber using a climbing rope. See more here.
  3. Here's a short of a Lego Technic 8880 Supercar smashing into a wall. It's build pretty well! Here's a stop-action Lego of a Lego Technic Figure not looking where he's going: xtepn01 posted this of the "Best crashes from Race 4 of 2010 Lego Technic Truck Trial competition":
  4. @ BlueShinyApple: At the end of your demonstration video above, you said that you could "make some instructions" on how to build it. Pretty please, would it be too much trouble to make them? Also, can you think of a practical application for this 3-axles-through-turntable design? What kind of vehicle would it be for?
  5. Peeron shows the 8455 box with Ages "11-99" on it. It's a little bit different than the "11+ " printed on the boxes shown earlier in this post. I glanced at my copy of the "Lego Collector's Guide", and it shows Set 8455 being produced from 2003-2005.
  6. You could try to sell your extra 8258 sticker sheet on Bricklink, and make a few quinn:
  7. I'm not sure what you mean; both alternates of the 8455 set are yellow with black accents:
  8. @ Jurgen Krooshoop: You can get Skyliner's Building Instructions for his Lego Technic Lamborghini Countach on this eBay listing. I bought mine for GBP 12.99 (~ US $20.86), and the CD came from the UK to the Pacific Northwest of the USA quickly. The PDF instructions are well done, and he provides a Parts List. I am still accumulating the needed parts for this, and have not built it with real bricks yet. Here is the "wallpaper" rendering on shlomi-gondabi's Brickshelf folder:
  9. Bricklink usually has a small, low-resolution picture of the FRONT of the Lego set boxes. Set your search to "Catalog Items", type in the Lego set number (like 8052), click on that number, and you will see thumbnail images of the set and box. Click on the thumbnail to see the larger image: You can also do a search on Brickshelf, to find various gallery folders on the set. For 8052, here's what I found with little delay.
  10. Lacus085 posted this "Video 3" of Syd's Mercedes Actros in the snow. Syd's Brickshelf folder shows 3 full pages of photos of the ten Lego Technic vehicles driven at the Hungarian Truck Trial 2011 event. They all ran using these rules (posted on BrickTruckTrial). Lacus085's posted 15 22 videos of the event -- each featuring one of the Trial Trucks there. If you can understand Hungarian, you can hear the banter between the people there. Here is a of Mbmc's Mercedes Unimog in action. Are there any Eurobricks Technic Forum members in the MALUG group picture below?
  11. "dimnix86" (Dominik Wielgosz) posted this of his Lego Hummer H1 "Snow Version". It uses either eight of the foam 3740 "Tire 24 x 43 Technic" (for an extra-wide footprint on snow), or a Technic Tread wheel assemblies! Photos will appear soon in his Brickshelf folder (when moderated and made public).
  12. @ Milan: To clarify further, are you using TWO tires on one wheel? You used the "Match #601" combination of the 32019 "Tire 62.4 x 20" on the 32020 "Wheel 62.4 x 20"? Although the 8L axle with stop is pointing the wrong way in the photo sequence below, can you confirm that this assembly is correct (left-to-right, inside-to-outside of wheel)?
  13. On his Flickr photostream, thirdwig posted his "Lego Ferrari 424" -- a "front engined V-8. Working four wheel independent suspension, V-8, four speed gearbox, working steering, and working doors and hood." He wrote, "This is my next supercar, the fictional Ferrari 424, a front engine, GT car. In line with many of my other supercar designs, this model uses many technic features to create a car that will function as much like a real car as possible, without sacrificing any aesthetic constraints. The car features four wheel independent suspension. The rear wheel drive is linked to the working V-8 through a functional four-speed transmission using the changeover from 8880. Steering is linked to the drivers position. Features both opening hood to reveal dual-cam V-8, and working doors for easy access to the cabin, complete with typical Ferrari supple leather. Video can be found at . More pictures can be found at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=460610 ."
  14. Milan, is this the correct combination to make Jerrec's wheel/tire setup? Left-to-right, should one thread an x1739 "Technic, Axle 8 with Stop" through a 3961 "Dish 8 x 8 Inverted (Radar)", then through a 4185 "Technic Wedge Belt Wheel (Pulley)" and a 32020 "Wheel 62.4 x 20"? Then, should one mount the 54120 "Tire 94.8 x 44 R Balloon" onto the wheel and clamp the backside of the wheel/tire assembly with 3713 Technic Bush? Did you use the 86652 "Wheel 62.4 x 20 with Short Axle Hub" (the beige wheel shown both sides in the last picture below) instead of the 32020 wheel?
  15. Therion posted the full Building Instructions on this Eurobricks post.
  16. Yes, please, please make Building Instructions for the chassis!
  17. On his website, Sariel showed his Liebherr R996 with TWO axles running through the center of a single Lego Technic Turntable; how is there room for any more?
  18. Click on these hyperlinks for Crowkillers' Lamborghini Gallardo building instructions, Jurgen Krooshoop's Little Devil Building Instructions (plus a whole lot more), and Nathanael Kuipers' Supercar Building Instructions.
  19. On MOCpages, RTN LNA posted this cute "Old Dump Truck". It comes with full Building Instructions. It has a key piece in the back -- an x189c01 "Trans-Light Blue Pneumatic Cylinder with 2 Inlets Small (32mm)" .
  20. "lakloplak" (Rik Wijngaards) posted this of his clever little Mini Lego Folding Crane. It features a telecoping tower and outriggers. See more on MOCpages. He also posted this of his "This is the miniature of the truck 8285-B and the excavator 8294. It is not 100% copy, but I like it very much. The excavator is fully movable by using string. Also look at my MOC-page: http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/36045 ."
  21. It's good that TLG finally is selling these separately! Previous discussion about the AAA Power Functions Battery Box was on this Eurobricks post and this EB post. "...if you HAVE ROOM for the large PF Battery Box in your MOC, you're better off using AA batteries (because they produce more power). If you have limited space (or want to keep weight down), you can use a small PF Battery box but your electrical output will be a lot less."
  22. ale0794 also posted this YouTube video, where he displays his use of "4 xl-motors,4 m-motors,4 ir-receiver,AA batterie replaced with 9v rechargeable battery": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOXlldiFDNk
  23. The Building Instructions are available here. Then, go to your favorite hardware store and get
  24. Does anybody know of an online "Conversion Chart" where the Bricklink Part Numbers convert to the Lego part numbers? I never could understand why the Lego part numbers don't match the numeral actually stamped into the part. I know that one could look at the Parts List in the Lego set instructions to get the Lego part number, but I'm trying to eliminate Steps 2 & 3 below: 1) Look up the part in Bricklink 2) Find out what official Lego set(s) the part came in 3) Look up the online Building Instruction for the set(s) 4) Write down the Lego part number
  25. The 8070's Shop.Lego.com price in Germany = 109.99 Euros (~ US $150.18). Not bad. It is not available in the US yet, however.... "The ultimate LEGO® Technic building challenge! This cool supercar is full of working features and functions, just like the real thing! Use the built-in LEGO® Power Functions to open the scissor doors, extend the rear spoiler and pop the hood to reveal the realistic V8 engine!
