Paul B Technic

Very cool looking, well done with the mods ;)

I don't own any XL motors so I can not be sure but that does not sound good.

Thanks. Yes that is something I need to work on ;)

I have just built a basic camera mount for my LEGO Technic Unimog U400 (set 8110), this allows me to mount my digital camera to make videos of it driving around. More photos and a video can be found on my blog: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/lego-technic-8110-unimog-u400-camera.html

Some new blog posts: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/lego-technic-set-42006-b-model-mod-log.html http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/lego-technic-set-42006-b-model-mini.html http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/p/how-i-made-my-life-awesome-video.html

Thanks for the suggestion, I may try making that change.

Following on from my mini building review of set 42006 B model farm tractor (http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/lego-technic-set-42006-b-model-mini.html) where I noted that I was not very happy with the rear plough attachment, I have spent about three hours over the past two nights designing and building a new rear attachment, this is a log grabber. This uses the same mounting points as the original plough attachment, it also uses only the spare parts left over after pulling the plough to pieces, I did have to cheat and use a mini-LA as the full size one was just too big. Overall I am very happy with how this has turned out and I think it is a big improvement on the standard plough attachment.

I have just published on my blog my mini review of LEGO Technic set 42006 B model - Farm Tractor. http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/lego-technic-set-42006-b-model-mini.html

That looks good, I am just in the process of building something like this to use with my digital camera on top of the Unimog.

That is a very cool looking buggy.

I agree with the above suggestion :)

Who wants to share a photo of yourself with your LEGO? Here is mine:

This is a video of how LEGO (and other things) helped me in some of the hard times in my life. I was able to overcome this to become the person I wanted to be with the life I wanted to have. Please share it far and wide; we need to get the message out that life does get better :) http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/p/how-i-made-my-life-awesome-video.html

LEGO all the way here :)

I have recently modified my LEGO Technic Unimog U400 (Set 8110) with Power Functions remote control for driving and steering. I have now published on my blog a write up of this with photos and a video of this process and it in action: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/mod-unimog-u400-power-functions-remote.html

A good looking collection :)

Very cool, sadly none of them appeal to me at all :(

I sent a suggestion last week to have my blog added, it is not appearing as yet, what is the time frame for this?

I have just published on my blog the latest attachment I have designed and built for LEGO Technic set 8110 (Unimog U400). This is a wood splitter which uses both the PTO and PPTO. Photos and a video of it in use can be found at the link below: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/unimog-u400-attachment-wood-splitter.html

Well done :)

I have just created a survey for my blog, this will help me to improve my blog and find out more about why people access it, please take a couple of minutes to fill it out: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/survey-for-my-blog.html

I say "collection"

I guess from my point of view a few reasons: - It was the largest Technic set ever until the latest crane came out. - It has a number of features and functions which people (both LEGO and non LEGO) can understand and enjoy watching / using. - It stands out and looks really good on display. - For me I really enjoy using it as a base for designing and building my own attachments and changing features, something that few other sets can do. I have a few posts on my blog about it, including some attachments I have designed and built, I have another one to add very soon :) Link in my signature below ;)

I use these in my Unimog: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SB1750&form=CAT2&SUBCATID=997#12

Thanks :), it is good to know people like reading my blog :)
