Ooops! Sorry!
Didn't know you had to 'fess up to a teeny weeny bit of modification in a MOC ;)
Yeah, I'm one of a few, it seems, who like to do what the Lego designers do
- make new parts for new models. So yes, that crown gear has had the boss
moved to the other side so it didn't get in the way of the diff. cage.
The only justification I can offer is that well over half the specialised
parts I've made over the last couple of years have shown up in newer Technic
sets since ;) Either TLC must have a hidden camera in my workshop somewhere
or these parts are all perfectly logical extensions to the existing selection.
So we should just hope the spy-cam picked up the details of the new crown
wheel :)
