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 ;-)

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

You can see all my micro city modules in Hispalug (google transtalte) Flickr or brickshelf for best resolution

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!!

and some more photos:

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.

INSTRUCTIONS FREE AVAILABLE at http://legotechnicbuild.altervista.org/index.htm

Preparing to move something big...

Lego Technic Torsen Diffs

Just two examples oh how this mechanism works.

Can`t wait till year 40000

This creation is well known, but in case that you missed it...

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

Also warhammer 40K related and also from Scharnvirk is this bolt pistol, with the same level of detail...

Kingstown, USA, 1959

Henrik Hoexbroe has presented all his work of several months in the HispaLUG Expo 2012

With all of you the diorama Kingstown, USA, 1959, reaching the perfection of what a LEGO diorama could be.

The Ball eater

Fantastic example of innovation in gbc building by pg5200

Combilift Container Lifter

Dokludi has replicated this truck attachment to selfload/unload  containers:

"The Combilift containerlifter is able to transport all sizes of ISO shipping containers. The Containerlifter hooks on behind a normal Truck and can lift fully loaded containers from the ground onto the trailer, from trailer to trailer and from trailer to ground."

For understand properly how it works you must see the video:

Yiharua's GBC Rotating module

Maybe you have viewed this kind of module several times but this one built by Yiharua and its Lego Digital Designer model, it uses common parts and works very well, as you can see in the video.

Introducing the Great Pin Contraption

All we know what GBC is ( Great Ball Contraption), but you know what is GPC? Yes it's almost the same but this machines uses different kinds of pins instead of balls, some of it where so cool, like this from pg5200, winner in a Setechnic contest.

LEGO Technic 42000 Grand Prix Racer

This is not the first time that dokludi build a replica of a upcoming set, this time it is the 2013  42000 Grand Prix Racer, check this galery for the details and the video:

And in this Flickr galery you can find the images of the set prototype found in ebay...

Technic ALL-IN

Malte-dorowski has a magnificent photostream on flickr, full of nice cars and usually uses technic figures as drivers, but in this case the technic figures where playing poker inside a fantastic creation, to accomplish some fantastic scenes, a kind of vignette with technic figures one of that things that make me fall in love...

This Van also is used for support the racing team:

And in the Malte Dorowski's photostream you will find lots of fantastic creations that car lovers will enjoy!
