Hi Everyone, I have just completed my Technic Lego Combine Harvester. It is loosely based on a New Holland, although I like to keep the body open to show off the mechanical aspects of the machine. It features motorised head, with pnuematic (...) (16 years ago, 10-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's gorgeous! Not exactly what I was looking for, but maybe inspiration for the next project. Maybe I'm thinking too small here. What's the span on that? Looks like about 4 meters. (16 years ago, 2-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I put this together last year for the sydney train club. It uses pretty common parts. (URL) The big problem with studless building is the amount of clutching you get from the connector pins. In this bridge i jammed tiny bits of flex-tube in the (...) (16 years ago, 2-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Neither of those files seems to contain anything- but I understand what you are saying. I thought I was on to something with some Technic Triangles as right-angle connectors and pinned beams on diagonals. Worked fine, I guess- but needed (...) (16 years ago, 1-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Tower Crane Boom is beam and pin only. (URL) uses multiple dimension connectors as it requires torsional stiffness. (URL) will need 'exotics' to connect dimensions. Thats how studless works best. The beams only have holes in one direction = (...) (16 years ago, 1-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic)

I figured a studless truss couldn't be too hard to build, and it would use up some of these dang liftarms... but I can't seem to get a decent design. Has anybody done such a thing? Links/pics appreciated. (16 years ago, 25-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Sheer awesomeness! I knew I could count on your guys for the answer and the workaround. Though it's not ideal to have to use the battery box, it's nonetheless a great workaround. Maybe LEGO will release a V2.0 connector that allows us to (...) (16 years ago, 25-Feb-09, to lugnet.technic)
