  Re: 8002 destroyer driod animated (partially)
 
(...) Wow, great! How did you do that? Did you make one LDraw model a frame or did you use the built-in animation features of POV? Or any method unknown to me? /Tore (21 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.animation, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  8002 destroyer driod animated (partially)
 
Finished the first phase of this animation. Takes a while to get the timing right. I am going to have it roll toward the screen and transform.. Maybe next week.

  Motorizing the 8865 test car
 
After moderation: (URL) moderation: (URL) works, but it's very slow, and the cracking/clicking noise that it made when trying to make the car move on something else than hard floor will haunt me for the rest of my days. =P The motor still works fine (...)

  RE: A working snowblower...
 
Only someone that lives in a place where a snowthrower is used would have enough time to make one! I just had my driveway area done by a guy in a huge JD tractor and an 8 foot wide blower! It's cheaper than owning and maintaining your own. Very nice (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  A working snowblower...
 
As I promised earlier, here are pictures of the working snowblower. But I'm sorry that I dont have real pictures of the thing since I still don't have a digital camera. I should also liked to have a video of it when it was working out in the snow :) (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: New Technic sets
 
Hmmmmmm, very interesting point Jonathan. Although I would say it is a lot closer than the Designer sets, I am still not sure it is there yet. If a bit more effort had been put into the windows, engines, and wings of it then it would certainly (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Would you consider the 7470 NASA space shuttle Model Team? (...) Do you own the 8466 and do you consider it better or worse than the 8448? (I own both and I think the 8466 has better parts). I do aggree though that a new "supercar" (something (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
First and foremost I have to say that my personal preference is for studded parts. Studless parts definitely are useful in some cases, but for me they will never be as good, or produce a finished creation that is as good as one using brick based (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
(...) A website out there has the 8386 Ferrari for pre-order. The box appears to contain 720 pcs, and will retail for 68 to 80 USD. It is COMPLETELY different from the Silver Champ and Williams racers! John (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
(...) I'm wondering how you arrived at your conclusion Gregory? Do you own any of the 2003 Technic sets? The new small yellow sets introduced in 2004, ie. the 8451 dump truck, and 8453 front-end loader are great and affordable sets, with good (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
Worse is the fact they are basically the same exact set! Some small detail changes and different colors, but otherwise the same. What are the chances that the re-re-released set this year will be $40 cheaper than the 8461? :) It is more likely that (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
Another supercar would be great but not at $150.00+ Why is the silver champ 8458 $170.00 and Williams F1 8461 was only $129.99? The tries and wheels from the new 8436 look like the 62.4mmx20mm Bar code trucks. Any body know if they are the same or (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
In my opinion Keith, your observation is correct. The quality of the Technic sets is on the decline (along with a lot of other things from Lego). The best example of this is the re-re-release of the Silver Champion again this year. This combined (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New Technic sets
 
(...) I'm sure the 2004 sets will bring back some fond memories from the past. (8425, 5590, 8872, 8462 anyone?) Now some thoughts on 8436: I don't see any new parts on it except maybe the pneumatics from our beloved backhoe. But look at how the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
