Nice model, cleverly designed.  Some of his other stuff is very nice too.  Tamiya and Lego are very similar in some ways: why won't either produce just the stuff we want?!!!  With Lego it would be even easier: every kit is quite literally just a scoot through their parts bin!

That is cool !

  I don't care what anyone says, Lego Technic is superb.

 I still have a few kits, and might have a go at building that car.

  I still collect up some of the older stuff, for me of course, but allowed into the house under the guise of ' for the kid' !!

actualy I will show you a Technic car (will be this afternoon - going to school now) but it is a proper Technic kit that has all of the working gearbox moving seats the headlights pop op with a leaver from in the cab  it is great!

Clarkey:  You've got an 8868?  I'd swap all but my 8480 just for that alone!

It is a really nice ki there not too hard to find i managed to get a mint one wich was soo good the stickers were still on the sheets about two years ago for around £80.00. Dont know what the market is like now though as havent bought any for a while. Oh and i agree the shuttle is the best []

lol, i have that 8868 pneumatic truck kit as well! hours of fun, but sore hands after building it from the sharp corners on the peices.

lego technic was my absolute favourite. still got most of it now too i think.

Here's my kit list ( with boxes)

 8860

 8845

 8020

 

 hmm, not great, although I do have a nice big bucket of loose parts, and a load of manuals. and some wheels and tyres.

 Canada is not loaded with technic to the same extent as the UK, at least not that I have found.

I used to love Lego as a kid, had buckets of Technic and regular

Lego stuff.  My biggest kit was the Lego Test Car (can't find any

reference to it on the web) - it was the predecessor to the Super Car

(that was released just after I stopped buying Lego). I loved the Test

Car - it was huge, about 1:9 scale I think, and was a very long-running

kit, so it was made using mostly primitive parts rather than the later

smooth parts.  Much more "classic" Lego, IMO.

I got annoyed

with Lego when they stopped building things with square bricks and

started making smooth custom bits for each kit.  It became less a

challenge of "let's make a castle / racing car / tow truck / spaceship

out of these square parts" and more of a "let's make some castle arches

and put square walls around them, then let's make some moulded plastic

wings for our racing car, then let's make some special moulded parts

for a tow truck, then make yet more specially moulded parts for our

spaceship"

Kind of spoils the point of Lego, IMO...  Just

looked at some new Technic kits, and it seems like there's a special

part for every function you could want.  What happened to doing it

all with "proper" Lego parts?

FWIW, I always always always wanted

some of the Model Team kits - but the parents never wanted to spend

that much money...
