    Johan vd Pluijm Great, it appears to be 1.2 meters? How does the crane (not the truck) turn when fully extended?

    • June 29, 2016
  • 
    Michael L what do you mean how it turns? it is motorized like at the 42009 ultimate. The Motor is in the Upper part, so no cables through the connection

    • June 29, 2016
  • 
    Johan vd Pluijm How does the upper part rotate? I was wondering how stable the crane (black part) is when it rotates around the vertical-axis?

    • July 1, 2016
  • 
    Michael L Ah okay.. It rotates on a slewing ring and a plateau made of Liftarms. The black Part is stable depending on the lenght... But you have to turn very slow :-D

It was kinda unexpected because I usually didn't get gifts this big. And I was over the moon because it is such an iconic set. After my 'dark age' I felt the urge to make something that is Blacktron themed and here you see the result, the Blacktron Scouttrax. It is a 6x6 ATV, powered by six L motors! The steering is interesting because it steers a bit like a motorcycle by banking into a corner. The final version will have two Sbricks and that should give it awesome speed.

Over the span of his youth he had collected a big box full of bricks. Back then, it was mostly basic bricks and plates in blue, red, yellow, white and black.  But, you could build houses, boats, furniture, trains whatever.   Aside from the big box, he also had a Lego Technic helicopter.
  
  
  
  As he got older, he didn't use his Lego anymore. But, he didn't throw it away or sold it. It was just put away on some random attic. Until I was born. The big box was ready to be used again. When I was a child, I used his Lego so much. And of course I added my own too. That's the beauty of Lego. Everything is compatible, from the earliest bricks 60 years ago to the most modern pieces.
  
  
  
  I have so many great memories of that 'big box'. Together with my little brother I build so many things. Most often, we'd build a little city where we both had our own 'shop'. Then we'd dig through the box of bricks in search for 'special' parts. We were young and special parts...    less

Obviously i - for lack of a better term - raised my kids (twins) to like trains as well and started with duplo trains at 2yrs old, thomas the tank engines and had huge discussions about adding chuggington as well. (the parents won this round) 
  Finally, they are now almost five years old and they are old enough (I lost patience) to play with regular lego trains. I bought two second hand sets, 7939 and 7938 and some extra track and every weekend we lay down the track throughout the house and play with the trains. usually my son drives the freight train and my doughter operates the passenger train, that for some reason crashes into the freight train quite often. but we have a lot of fun. 
  After a month i decided i need a dad train and bricklinked myself a blue modified version of the emerald night.  During the days we put it together and i was...    less

I got right to building and all I had were 3 giant buckets of mismatched Lego, nothing was sorted at the time. I started building around an old 9v motor I had and finally I got it finished and it looked like a block with a nose on one end (it was a shunter/switcher locomotive), I'm serious! So I uploaded it anyway hoping for suggestions and surprisingly many people were nice and gave me amazing suggestions that made my creation really come to life. After that I started to build more and more trains and started motorizing them. I learned that the Lego community is very strong and very friendly and helpful, were all out to make creative and great creations. Through third party companies like SBrick we can further advance our models to their full potential! The Lego community is amazing!

The two things that came to mind were the iconic light as well as the sound. Since the light is supposed to fade on and off standard Lego control wouldn't support this so an SBrick was the perfect solution. I was impressed that the light brightness is able to be adjusted just like a motor speed can be adjusted.
  
  
  Then to hold true to a Lego MOC, making the sound without adding any non-Lego (aside from the SBrick which in my opinion is acceptable) I connected a medium motor to the SBrick and ran from the motor 40 tooth gear driving 8 tooth gear connected to a 40 tooth gear driving an 8 tooth gear etc. The high speed of the rotating gears gave a nice rattle that sounded similar to the TARDIS sound. When connected on the same channel as the light, the fading in and out of the sound instantly elicited a look of recognition in eyes of all who saw...    less

  My dad never was very nterested in my static tanks, but liked my submarine. Nowmy tanks and cars drive aroun the house, so my dad sees them, obviously..
  At first, he wasnt really interested. 
  But then, all of a sudden, he started to be interested in my Sbrick-controlled vehicles. It appears to me that he realised that his old LEGO collection is now moving around the house. 
  Now he is even suggesting improvements for my builds. This is quite nice.
  
  
  I also have something I would like to do in a not too distant future: 
  I would like to meet with some fellow Sbrick users, share some thoughts, show some models and be a community.  less
