Nice update Kev, glad you liked the build.

I think I may have some odds and sods of left over bits, I will post them up if they are any use for your spares bin.

 

Thanks man can never have to many spares man haha defo as I’m going to attemptnto build my own design truck from scratch!

 

This is the show if anyone wants to go...

 

Found a soare set of rc tyres in my man cave today sonas there softer I tried them on this and also turned wheels around to make track wider, it goes over anything!

Playing with it in my chill room like a big kid today

 

Loving all these lego builds keep it up cheers.

 

Sort of Lego. Got a new toy so made a batman

 

That’s awesome! 3D prints? Would you sell one?

 

Ye 3D printed. Got to sort out the head as there are some details that dont come out right. Not sure on cost, depends on the size your after.
This one is about 190mm tall. The max size would be about 700mm but i would have to check the build volume. Waiting for some new filament colours and types.
This one is printed out of PLA which is great stuff just needs to be kept out of direct sunlight as it can go brittle. To print it in ABS which is the same as the lego pieces is difficult of large pieces, they tend to warp.

 

Same as the one in the photo woyld be what I’d love mate think it’d look great next to my lorry.

 

Ok no probs.

 

 

Brilliant tho! Getting better on the printer?

 

just got the new print filaments so setting things up. One bonus is I have Made some new Sapphire side skirt clips the same as the Ford ones. So thats the side skirts not flapping about any more

Back on the Lego soon

 

Is it expensive to set one up?

 

You can get one for as little as Ł150, but you get what you pay for. As they have developed the printers for home use there are lots of "pain" removing features and as i have just been reading about safety features. Have a look at 3d printer fires

I did a bit of reading and decided on the Prusa i3 and at the time the mk2S was the current one. But as it was over Ł700 i was reluctant to shell out for it, so i delayed placing an order. This worked out well as a month after the i3 mk3 came out. This is stuff full of idiot proff stuff, but the back order time was unsure (they are now getting better) I ordered in February and waited 7 weeks to get it.

So for under Ł800 you can print out your projects up to 25x21x21cm in size. I have just done an RC jet boat, but this is showing the limits of what and how you print. The main problem is joining the prints. Unless you use ABS plastic which is difficult and has toxic fumes. The bonding process for the parts has to be glue as most of the print filaments will only melt by using toxic solvents.

Anyway i'm building up to printing this a GIANT 3D PRINTED technic LEGO Bulldozer [Kit 856]

 

Nice to see more people with double hobby's

 

No way! That is truly epic!!! I want one but that’s a lot a money to shell out enit.

 

It's going to be something like 600 to 900 hours of print time to do the digger and about Ł300 (but could be double that) in print filament

 

OMG!!! Thats bloody epic man!

Buy before ya do that don’t forget my figure

I have the Brick show this weekend and have made some info frames to go with my display.

 

Rob that I'd go digger is mint. It's massive lol.

Kev... nice one.

 

Not sure if this will work, but here’s video of my Lego stand at Lego show yesterday

 

They look great mate, well done

 

You spot yours third one along in the vid mate

 

Few pics of my stand..

 

My Blue Porsche GT3RS went the viral rounds on Facebook again this week because I posted new pics up with blue wheels and was marmite to some....

I love it.








Also upset the applecart again in the brick scene today loo

Got some GT3RS wheels in Gold which are 1:8 and then got some 1:10 tyres and made them look like euro stretch fitment, so will fit them to a 1:10 Conisegg (so) I’m currently building...

 

Tut tut, upsetting the purists, youll be for it!! Stand looks great

 

Thanks Richie, was a good experiancd man.

Haha always upsetting um, the new Bugatti Cheyron Lego is out in a couple of days, the fake will soon follow lol

I’ll get that and modify it too lol

Feet killing me this evening so more time in chill room on bricks!

Conigsegg (sp) looking good...



Had to widen the rear chassis by 4 stids and the front by 2 also widened the rear body work by 2 studs and not even built it yet lol

 

Some say I got to much time on my hands haha

But when I grt an idea I have to check it out! So seeing as I now had spare 1:8 Porsche wheels, I thought I’d do stretch fit again and do red on red with Ferrari...

One of my first Technic car builds, I think it looks ace!

Also a mate wanted to know how to modify his Beetle Bug for slammed look so I did mine which is only in early stages and took pics for him along the way to show him how to do it... looks sick with camber on rear and narrow front track.

 

Cool Lego cars matey. Fook the Lego perverts.

 

I do mate Inlike winding um up lol

 

Having a bit of a redesign as I think the front of this model realy ruins the look of the whole car, lets it down so what you think?

 

Looking great kev! That new bugatti cheron kit looks good.

 

Thanks man, yeh looks mint but Ł330!

Next month the Lepin one will be out for Ł98 lol so Im waiting for that one.

 

That's crazy money!!! Looking forward to seeing the lepin kit.

 

you need to get the roller coaster one!!!

 

Not my cuppa tea mate I’m just generaly a technic vehicle man as it gets my attention and get quite passionate about the builds..

 

 

Just the front left to redesign...

 

1:10 supercar all loaded on 1:10 truck

 

Loving all the new builds buddy! That supercar one (white Koniegsegg or however you spell it) looks awesome!

How do you do the 'stretch' tire look? Also on the red one, I think stretched fronts with normall rears would look ace!

Any pictures of how to lower and camber the beetle? I may have to buy one after seeing that one!
