Concave belt module

This is the latest Lego GBC module from Team Morente, I'm sure that it will look better after adding the decoration, at this moment the construction and the mechanisms look so fine, with the route that the gbc balls do ant the "concave" curvature of the belt in the elevation section.

Sometimes I see things that make me think that my technic collection is really smal...

Mesmerizing LEGO GBC mechanism "Type 0.5"

This mechanism could be improved to a spectacular GBC spiral lift module, with adding some kind of pump to feed the module in the middle and the exit gate at the top, I hope that Jackal82JPN do that soon.

I've seen bricks you minifigs wouldn't believe.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

This Blade Runner scene is my latest creation, so yes, I build Moc's and I'm not only in technic...

Originally made for a little contest-game of my LUG about guessing films with vignettes, I'm pretty proud of it, not so of the photoshop effect...

Some more images and the link to the gallery at my brickshelf

Parda's Blade Runner Vignette

The big LEGO TECHNIC Land-Rover Defender

The latest car of Sheepo is here! And it's a Land Rover defender!

It has so many functionalities... so best see the video or visit Sheepo's website where you will find all the detailed explanations.

Personally I'm very well impressed with this "supercar", mainly by the clean of the modular construction and all the realistic details all around both in mechanisms and aesthetics, I can't wait to play with it in next Spanish meetings...

Han's Twin wheel modification for 9397 Logging Truck:

The last instructions to "upgrade" official sets is to apply 'Twin Wheels' and a double differential unit on the rear axles (2nd and 3rd axle) at the 9397 Logging Truck, whereof the wheel width stays the same as the original set.

Designer Han's 9397 Logging Truck original modifications

It's remarkable that this is only the last high-quality instructions in a long row, its very recommendable to check the other ones to improve the playability and functionality of the sets you may already have.

The car that changed the world...The fabulous Ferrari F-40 by LEGO Bro

What is your favorite "real" supercar? Mine is the ferrari F-40 The car that changed the world... click the link to see the previous times this car has been featured here.

The fabulous Ferrari F-40 by LEGO Bro

The rear of the car is specially well recreated:

Porsche Madness!!

After the revolutionary Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Cabriolet PDK presented one year ago, we got fresh news for the LEGO-Porsche fans.

For first this new update from the previous car, the Making of: Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Cabriolet PDK, very interesting document about the design process, "fails", other information and a chance to see the supercar when it was only a chassis:

Or priceless images of the gearbox ^_^

The next Porsche I'd share is the Spiderbrick's Porsche Turbo-S Black Edition:

This car features the following functions:

- Based on its line and original mechanic in the Porsche Turbo S
- Motor Boxter of 6 cylinders I biturbo
- Motor easily detachable (fixed with 2 pins)
- Reverse Gear box of 5 speeds and (original idea of Crowkillers)
- Independent Suspension in the 4 wheels
- Traction AWD"

And it has a lovely detailed engine:

And smart piece usage at seats:

More photos at Spiderbrick's brickshelf  and the video fromYoutube:

The third and last Porsche is the PORSCHE 997 GT3 from Crowkillers featuring:

• 6 speed transmission
• "Hand of God" steering system with functional Dash Steering Wheel
• Flat 6 Rear mounted Engine
• Full Independent Suspension
• Opening Hood, Doors and Trunk

And this shape:

Another perfect example of  LEGO TECHNIC  round surfaces build all around this very clean chassis:

LEGO 4 Original GBC Modules

It's not usual to find a new GBC module, and it's very hard to find 4 modules with original variations of existing concepts or totally new mechanisms, this is that Jackal82JPN has done, wroted as description: "My first Practical GBCs.", for sure we will wait a second and more GBC's.
