    Am I going about this the best way? I want a constant input on the red axle in one direction and the yellow output to change direction with the switchover catch. I just can't figure out the right gears to connect the left driving ring to the left grey 16z gear. It needs an even number of extra gears and I want the ratio in both directions equal. I don't have any 28z gears but I do have 20z clutch gears. Any help or alternative methods appreciated

    Will these eventually appear in other shops? I've got some Argos vouchers I want to put towards it.

    So if I make a loader it has to fit in a box but I can choose how it does so, e.g. tall and short or long and low or in between right?

    Good stuff! It's interesting to see how your designs evolve rather than just posting a final build. My personal favourite is V2, love that whisk Is the piece in the red box of V3 a pneumatic hose straight connector? I wasn't aware it existed.

    For 1997 the Escort went from group A to WRC, one of the changes was the rear wing. You could also order the road cars without the top wing (but why would you ) I'll take mine in diamond white with tiger stripes please.

    Very nicely done. The headlights remind me of old Tamiya RC cars

    Decision made, Lambo ordered The appeal of funky doors swung it. A lime green helicopter with really big landing gear

    Opinions please, 42083 Bugatti or 42115 Lamborghini? Both hovering around the £250 mark at the moment. Intention is to build once then use for MOCs. Is one much more interesting to build? Is one chock full of useful (or useless) parts?

    42126 Ford raptor £99.99 at Smyths LINK HERE seems like a reasonable discount for such a recent set.

    My local Sainsburys made the toys section half the size just about the same time as they opened an Argos concession inside.

    Just checked. No longer supported on my tablet Galaxy Tab A but still on my phone Galaxy A50. Back to a tiny screen I go Is this the same for Control+?

    I rather like this. The clam shell bonnet and rear lights are instantly recognisable and I personally think the reversed panels and arches work well to recreate the original lines. I prefer my 4x4s Japanese but my brother had a V8 one of these and it was a beast!

    I feel option A might encourage more entries. Also allowing for different scales might broaden the range of entries, who wouldn't like to see a giant technic Galaxy Explorer? People may be tempted to build enormous supercars and claim they're city but perhaps the voting should include points for accuracy.

    What a great gift! Did you produce all the packaging and instructions yourself or is there some amazing website that makes one off kits?

    Nothing to add to the thread as I've never melted or fused any of my parts but that railcar! What a fantastic looking machine.

    Off topic but I'd love to know more. Any links to old scanned images?
  18. ukbajadave
    That's the one! In my mind the fragile hinges were too old but bricklink says used until 2004 and Miniland is having its 25th anniversary so perfectly reasonable

    Legoland Windsor Buckingham Palace model. What are the yellow fence pieces? They look like the old finger hinges on one end and a stud on the other.

    Thanks for all the replies, I wish I'd added a poll now! It looks like 8880 gets a lot of love for its features and I like the look of the beams for bodywork so I'm going to go for it. 8448 is a close second, lots of features and I like the different builds but a bit too studless. @Berthil Those F1 cars look fantastic on display. I'm more a builder than a collector but I am slowly bricklinking Jeracs Countach which I will display once built.

    When I was little my older brother got 8860 as a gift and I was so jealous! Over the years it was boxed up, put away and somehow lost. Fast forward 40 years, I got him a nice used 8860 for christmas and once again I'm jealous! Prices for used Lego seem to be creeping back to normality so its time to scratch my supercar itch. Which supercar will give me a nice build with lots of features, studded for that retro experience? I'm tempted to get another 8860 for nostalgia value but are other models better?

    Great build! This has lots of nicely thought out building techniques and spot on shaping. For me the stand out is the simplicity of the door catch mechanism

    This thread has inspired me to get off the sofa and start a new MOC. To the people who have built lots of trucks, do you always start with the same basic chassis or is every one different? Nothing wrong with that, most of my cabs start with the basic structure of 42043, then I chop it about until I'm happy
  24. ukbajadave
    Ooh, I like trucks!

    Spot on! The surfboard from 60011 is also present. Cheers
