    Superb! had you got this down to 200 parts (perhaps with one V8 engine only) this would have been a clear winner [now having seen that the votes tend to be nostalgic and ignore the competition subject.]
  2. Rockbrick
    Very worthy winners and superbly organised Not sure where one of my votes went, i swear i had received 2, one must have been one of the disqualified ones..... Lol Really really enjoyed taking part!

    In the video you can see one of the units with 24z gear wheels where the wheels were so I guess so...
  4. Rockbrick
    Hope the body looks like this....
  5. Rockbrick
    definately going to add mine to rebrickable when I work out how to

    Mindstorms and technic do go well if you want to build an autonomous and sensor driven contraption - but that is very rarely what techinic builders want to do Mindstorms = expensive quartz watch, chronograph, countdown timer, alarms, etc... Technic = Seiko automatic watch with day date if you are lucky
  7. Rockbrick
    same here with official lego charger - blinking = charging - constant is charged
  8. Rockbrick
    this being a technic forum we want to see it belly up and the insides !

    It was fine from the beginning The lego paradox - the best bodies have rubbish chassis' the most perfect chassis' have rubbish bodies...... only a few can master both - must be a left / right brain issue for us budding (frustrated?) engineers

    I think its to do with the degree of swing of the arms you can get more motion my offsetting the arms that if they were lined up due to the gears inside (also makes the central chassis tube narrower) see this video @ the 1:00 mark

    Love the lockable diffs - the only way to do it in lego and be almost like the real thing I hope to do this to ZBLJ 's mid size 8x8 tatra chassis one day
  12. Rockbrick
    You nailed the front and the back.... the wing is perfect. I await to see the sides behind the door - always going to be a challenge
  13. Rockbrick
    Might change my vote now to imaginary numbers.…..

    I agree about the diff, and some panels would not be a miss either - but I am sure its very playable - HOG is so prevalent these days its nice to see a steerable from the driving seat moc

    if it says washing at 30-40 degrees is fine then the heatwave temperatures should be ok only problem may be if the sets are in direct sunlight for a long time (fading) and the lenticular effect of some panes of glass in older houses may cause hotspots. (i once left a mirror on window sill and it burned a mark on the paintwork of the blinds...!)

    1 point so far too ... (1 more than I expected to be honest) Seems that people are voting for the most complex - when in reality how functional have lego models been in the 200 piece range? - usually not even with steering and perhaps a pullback motor I wish I could have given more points around as there are many amazing models - but I really only distributed my votes to those models I thought could be on the shelf and almost be an official lego model (at least thats how I made my model)

    If only it had diffs .... But it his the most perfect tatra chassis replica at this scale ever.... In the winter my 8455 and 8421 plus a brickink order no doubt, to make the chassis at least I keep coming back to it in ldd
  18. Rockbrick
    a lot models you like equally - not always one stands out - so formula 1 style voting would make it ethically difficult - allowing equal points to be distributed if that is how you want to do things is better

    Mountain biking and classic cars...
  20. Rockbrick
    My votes purely allocated to sets I think I would buy of the shelf, there are better sets but perhaps they wouldn't be commercially viable or more of a moc model: 7:1 10:1 16:1 19:2 20:1 22:1 29:2 31:4 40:2 41:1 52:2 54:1 56:1 Feels like voting in the eurovision song contest! Good luck all!
  21. Rockbrick
    Looking good I've been planning to do this to my 8421 for ages now
  22. Rockbrick
    Personally I think one week is enough of voting
  23. Rockbrick
    there is a larger one - two appear in Lego City set 7998
  24. Rockbrick
    wow and thanks for educating me in the wonderful ways of fluid couplings ! the PDF manual is a work of art in itself - reminds me of old motor manuals you'd get with your car in the 1960s when you were expected to do most of the maintenance
  25. Rockbrick
    Pretty sure its been done but usually they build one floor, jack it up, build under that one, jack it up and so on - always adding a floor below at ground level and jackng the structure upwards so that there is no time lost travelling and transporting floor to the top
