Great work! The first time i saw those kind of wheels was in a TV show, on some kind of a forklift. I see you've achieved to make them from lego with great success! I'm impresed ( and inspired! ) Thanks for the LDD model! I'll examine it in depth! Also, congrats on the idea on how to modify the two PF remotes! I'll definately try it. I started a topic about your creation in my own forum / here /, not forgetting to leave a back-link. Hope you don't mind! Also included some history about the "Mecanum wheels" by Bengt Ilon. I think it will inspire a lot of people. Once more, great work!

First of all, a GREAT BIG THANKS to the author of this tutorial - Evil Willy. I found your instructions and tips very useful. I've been planning to try and make my own sails for a long time. Finally I gave it a try, and here are the results of my first attempt: High res. here: high res. image All the tools and materials that i used: except for the fabric, which i think is linnen, and the iron Here is what i did: I followed the first steps of the tutorial exactly. After transferring the contour of the sail to the fabric, I decided to iron the fabric, as it was a bit crumbled. I think i should mention, that i chose a very thin ( a little bit transparent ) linen fabric. Looks very suitable to me Then applied clear paper glue - the one you can see on the picture on the sail. Didn't miss a spot. I waited for the glue to set - no longer than 15 mins, and ironed the sail again. Then cut it with scissors, and punched the holes with the tool on the right. Not sure how it's called, but it is used for punching round holes in paper sheets ( to be put in a folder later ). Luckily the glue has provided enough hardness to the fabric, and it was very easy to cut - similar to paper really. Punching the holes was easy too. There are no visible marks from the glue. I'm very satisfied with the results, and would make a couple more sails soon. I would also try to color the sail with textile paint. I think a suitable way of adding detail to the sail ( insignia for example )would be to use "t-shirt transfer foil/paper". This is a special piece of foil attached to a paper base. It's compatible with ink-jet printers. After printing your picture, you apply it to the fabric you want, and iron it out. The foil sticks to the fabric, and detaches to its paper base. The result is a great print, applied to any textile of your choice. Only limit is, that the background has to be white, or close to white - consumer printers dont have white ink ;) That's all for now. I will post more pictures when i make more sails. Cheers everyone! Hope my English is understandable - not a native ;) Yours Legohead One more thing: I created a topic about making sails in my LEGO forum. Of course, i left a back-link to this thread. Hope you don't mind.

Once more, great work, Asya! I was very moved by your contribution

My vote goes to: MetroiD-33. Inn I really like this adorable little inn :) Nice work!

Hey there! I see you're a fellow graphic designer I accidently found your facial decals, and they were of great help, and inspiration! I used some of them to make smiley faces for my forum. If you want, you can take a look-sie here: here. To return the favor, if anyone wants to use those smileys, i can send them to ya! Just wanted to give you a BIG THANKS for the great work that you've done.
