Wow, time goes by.... so fast!

I just realized that this blog has just reached the two years old!!!

Thanks to all subscribers in blogger, rss, youtube playlist, Facebook, all the blogs and sites who link here and for all the readers, this blog is for all of you and it seems that you like it so it will keep showing funny and interesting content related mainly to the Lego Technic.

I would make contests and celebration parties but my pocket is empty... for now, so just stay tuned to the blog and the upcoming 2nd Technic weekend, soon more information ;-)

Thanks!

The Expert Builder ROD

Delicious 70's style of "Lego Technic" called "Expert Builder" these early days.

This kind of ancient style makes me realize what kind of mocs we'd lost in the pre-internet era...
This fabulous creation is built by Ciezarowkaz
"Hot Rod Pick-Up. Includes a V6 OHV engine (12 working valves), gearbox and transfer case and PF lights".

My 2012 Microcity modules

I'm proud of present to you my microcity modules of 2012

First the video:

And the modules:

Lego JCB Crab with me?

Enjoy this JCB 2155 with Fella TS 4000 COMMERCIAL video by corne723 so detailed and demonstrative.

One motor GBC elevator

Makoroll has presented this GBC module on Eurobricks.

How does it work?

"The principle is very simple. Between the power source and the 9v motor there's a switch it is connected to the two levers - the top and bottom. The additional rubber band causes the light moving lever moves it to the other side very quickly, so do not feel the moment when the switch is in the zero position. The platform in the down position opens another "goal" by pressing the lever and allows the balls get inside."

LEGO Vintage style vehicles

Yep, I'm not only in technic, remembering my childhood I've built this vehicles for the city diorama of the Hispalug Expo 2012 in a simple and classic style, but all had some particular details of my building style.

Tank truck, with slopes and decoration with plates.

Off-road with smooth bottom.

Bulldozer with an ancient style.

Racing car.

And a video of all of it:

My Technic Challenge Crawler 9398 entry

This is my proposal for the competition, note that this is a serious proposal, even it is only a sketch made with Photoshop  but the concept is clear, mix the 9398 chassis with ancient wooden truck bodywork made of modern Lego.

I think that this is the best way to make a special edition of the latest Lego toy, a tribute to the first toys made by the brand, with wide possibilities of interesting snot building techniques an decorated pieces, really from this idea can go a real collector's item!!

The Big Belt ^^

One of the several GBC creations of buzlamouche featured in his youtube channel is this "triple" belt module, with Pin Zig Zag descending ramp, simple, elegant and effective.

Great load capacity, curious motorisation method, and funny exit gate with that ramp. This kind of modules always where good to control the ball flux on the GBC circuits.

Awesome 8110 alternate model

It seems a set, LEGOTECHNICMODEL05 has built a Iveco 190EH30 with the parts of the 8110 set.. and with plenty of functions.

The level of fidelity in even in the smallest detail is just astonishing.
