    That's a pretty left field choice! So I tried a variety of herbal drinks, most of which tasted like hot fruit squash and in the end I decided I like my morning coffee too much so I've compromised and have one delicious coffee when I wake up and a pill from the doc every day.

    Thank you, you understood correctly and I couldn't see this simple solution. Sometimes I wonder if I make stuff too complicated

    How would you clever people connect this motor to the horizontal beam? The ends of the T rub on the wheel. I want a piece like this... I'm working on a powered up Forklift. Is it worth a WIP thread to ask this sort of stuff?

    Perfect thanks! I'd already checked bricklink but hadn't realised if you scroll all the way down extra parts are listed at the bottom. Sadly I have 3 black pins left over when bricklink says I should have 1 so I've missed a couple out somewhere

    What spare parts do you get with this? I'm at the end of bag one and I have a a 1/2 bush and 1L bush in LBG left over...

    Looks good in white, is that a real build or render? I never even thought about really modding this set, just built it once and added PU motors but maybe it had more potential.

    Total rise is around 50 studs so not sure an elastic band would have that much stretch. Having slept on it I think the solution might be a second drum of string attached to the bottom. As the lifting string goes around 3 pulleys in order to extend the arm (apparently called the mast) I'm guessing the bottom string will need a 4:1 ratio?

    Good evening Eurobricks I am having a go at a forklift. So far I've got 4 C section arms that sit inside each other and a slider where the forks will sit driven by a string and pulleys. My belief is that driving the string drum will lift the forks but I don't want to rely on gravity to lower them. Is there a super simple solution? Edit: In the skilfully labeled picture above the bottom pulley labelled "bottom arm" is of course connected to the top arm.

    Really rather nice in the classic red and gold. How many studs long? I wonder if it would look out of scale displayed next to Jeracs Countach. Are the wheels 3D prints?

    Faster than me, I took two days (not solidly) to install a "sirod" branded kit from amazon and that didn't have your light up wheels or flashing plutonium chamber. Light kits can be an absolute time sink but so worthwhile if the model is for display

    Ooh yummy but my GP would probably tell me to cut down on salt! Why is all the tasty stuff also the bad stuff

    For many years I've started the day with a lovely hot cup of coffee. As time has gone on I've cut out the sugar but now I've been advised to cut out the caffeine too! What does anyone else start the day with that's delicious and not too labour intensive (sometimes my day can start at 02.30 so I don't want to be grinding beans and swapping filters) Any suggestions welcomed

    At 5 studs deep do you think there is scope to add 67139 wall hanger?

    To answer my own question yes the printed tiles do come back into stock. I managed to order some and they arrived today Very pleased with the quality and well worth the expense I think.

    I like the free standing aerial for the television. It would be ideal for adding to the new Galaxy Explorer if you were building the command hut too

    It feels like the point is a technical exercise to see what is possible but looking at the first picture gives me a mars lander feeling. I'd stick a third axle in the middle and build some bigger Lunokhod style wheels using connectors and axles. I don't know much about mindstorms and pybricks but are there enough outputs for a robot arm? It would be cool to have something you could drive into the kitchen to fetch snacks

    Did you mean 60 stud track? Or is this essentially square? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle_track#/media/File%3AWheelbase_and_Track.png

    Great work! We have a 17 year old depeche mode superfan in the family and I reckon this could be a good Christmas present. I'll probably try to bricklink all new parts, is there anything super rare or expensive?

    When I modded my 42053 I used 2 of the small pumps and a M motor which worked fine. @doug72 How purist are you? I tidied my hoses using RC car aerial tubes.

    Another Fallout fan here, you've really captured the vault aesthetic. The radio and security officer are both great touches. Is "you rock" the lego equivalent of "you're special"?

    I gave up waiting and bought this using real money. How long did it take people to build? I have a couple of days off this week. This will be for display so I'm not too worried that one wheel is printed offset, I'll put that one at the back. However it would be nice if the stickers didn't peel off in 6 months. Does anyone know if the Steindrucker printed tiles are occasionally restocked or are there other printed alternatives?

    I have now reached stage 75 where a 3l axle is inserted and realise it was clearly builder error
  23. ukbajadave
    In step 30 for the red model should the black sub assembly be secured to the brown thin beams with a 10th red 2l axle? It seems kind of floppy without. The parts list calls for 9 axles and I've used them all already. Any help gratefully received

    42126 Technic Ford Raptor now £70 at Argos LINK Seems like a good parts pack at this price

    That's quite some articulation and the jockey wheel is a nice touch. I assume the Linear Actuator is for the ramp and should connect to something With the bikes on the back it looks like a giant technic version of 4433 Dirt Bike Transporter
