Oh, FFS.

Oh, sorry about that. Not sure why it isn't working for you, I can assure you there is no adult content. It's not an official, reliable source, really, but here is the quote and a link to a Technic forum:

"OK, I am excited that I want to show it here, but I cut it up to keep out of prying eyes. Yes, what you’re seeing is half a photo of a box that contains a Technic Porsche 991 GT3 RS.

This year’s Technic flagship set is the Porsche 991 GT3 RS, in 1:10. No, the camo is not going to be in the final set, as the actual thing may not even come out in its full glory until the Geneva Auto Show (and I also have a funny feeling that the Hot Wheels version wouldn’t come out until then)."

I'm not saying anything against you. It's the filtering system that's an abomination.

Worked fine for me too.

Pretty much finished the Delta, just a few finishing touches to go. Decided to change the wheels, though i'm not 100% sure I prefer these, over the other ones.



Although not present in that pic^ I've changed the headlights to flatter units (they don't stick out as much now). It also now has an engine. I did do the original engine but felt it would look better with something a bit more tuned, so I did my best to copy a 500bhp unit from a modified version i'd seen pictures of.

^ This is really impressive stuff.

I'm going to copy and paste that engine.

Notice the new Lego sets are out today and had to get the R18

 

[Brutaka]

I started messing around and discovered the beauty of Pre WWII- designed Lego cars, So i took a little bit of time and
made a range of 4 cars based on the same platform. May I present to you the Camden Cars Continental lineup.

Continental (2 Door Open-top)


Continental Deluxe (2 Door Semi-closed)


Intercontinental (4 door Coupe de Ville)


Continental Racer


I really want to build these in real life. So far I have priced out the Racer on bricklink and I plan to order it soon.

 

[Kingofweasles]

Ah yes, Lego Digital Designer... I've lost a ton of time fooling around with designs. This one is probably my holy grail/birthday present, mainly because of being around 500 pieces and containing uncommon pieces in unusual colors.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Just picked up one of these for myself:

A little late to the party.

Edit: finished building.

 

[PARAGON GT]

I've got that one. It was a nice build.

I just picked up one of the 2016 Speed Champions kits yesterday. The Corvette Z06.

I haven't built it yet. Hopefully tonight I'll have a little time to get it done.

The 2016 line looks really good. Might pick up the Mustang later on. Possibly the Camaro Drag racing set or Audi Le Mans car too.

 

[Spacegoat]

Apparently this Caterham Super Seven has been approved? So much want if this set is actually happening.

 

[Michael88]

Currently having a fun project. I'm trying to build my own serious LEGO horror creature in the fun ''LEGO dark fantasy'' theme.

This is a very early alpha so the finished design will look different.
The concept is, its basically a giant maw on three spider legs. It has very weak senses and its nearly blind so it mounts the reanimated upper half of its victims in front of its head to use their sensory organs and processions to make it a more effective killer.

The legs are extremely mobile, there is a half LEGO mini figure victim mounted on top of it with tubes going to actual creatures head, it has two barbed arms, one big arm with fingers and two blister pods at the rear.
The petals around its ''neck'' can be closed to protect its head completely. (The head is Grey)

 

[Michael88]

So, my LEGO biomechanical horror creature is mostly finished. It needs a few tweaks and more details here and there but its to 90% finished, and I'm going to order the parts next week so I can build it in real life.

About 800 parts.

 

[PARAGON GT]

That's pretty fierce looking Michael88


Built the Corvette this weekend and I have to say its a very solid car. Very heavy too. It feels considerably heavier than the Ferrari and Porsche models I already have. Rolls a bit better too. That could be just because its newer.

I might revise the front end a bit. Seems like the grill should be a little lower than where it is shown. I'm sure I can do it with out adding any pieces to the set. Might have to try that tonight.

 

[Downhill Dino]

This thread let me know that Lego came out with prototypes. So awesome! The R18 looks cool, but I'd have to get the 919/917 combo set. And I wonder if they're waiting on Toyota to reveal the TS050 so they can make that one too?

 

[Michael88]

MY newest project, pretty self-explanatory.

Still an early alpha, the arms are pretty basic and need more work, the chest is a bit too blocky and the wings need to be larger I think. Also the head is going to be a challenge with LEGO. I think I'll go with a half-helmet so UI don't have to make a full face.

But the foundation has been laid.

 

[Michael88]

So, besides some touching up areas I'm pretty much finished and going to order the parts in the coming week. Somewhere in the development phase I took a dark path and it has become an angel of doom. Oh well....

If anyone has any constructive suggestions or criticism - I'm, all ears!

1000 parts, approx 35cm tall.

I popped into the Lego store at Downtown Disney, Paris this weekend and spent some birthday Euros on set 60117.

I've always loved the caravan/RV sets, so it was an obvious purchase. I love the little BBQ and the dog. Hunting through my old box of childhood Lego, I found a mailbox that I repurposed as a fridge for the sausages and an aerial for the truck.

I also found the instructions for these two, as if to back-up my love for what I consider the golden era of Lego - the leisure sets prevalent in the '80s and '90s.

 

[SPhilli911]

Anyone else going to get this? I'm on the fence, it's a nice set, but that price tag (USD $300) is a lot.

 

[Roo]

I'm definately going to get this! I can't wait for Jun-

£249.99

On second thoughts, I'm good, ta.

Given the price, I'd rather buy an insanely detailed die-cast model

 

[Nessy]

It looks a lot nicer than the camo one. That price is steep though.

 

[SPhilli911]

It's a hard price to justify, but I watched a youtube video (that I sadly cannot link from work) earlier talking about the set and it looks pretty interesting if you are a big time Porsche fan/ collector/ Lego fanatic. It comes with a booklet about the real car and how it was built and whatnot. Also, each car is individually numbered and gives you access to content, though I'm not sure what content exactly.

I'll probably end up getting it simply because I haven't built a Technic set in years. And I'm borderline obsessed with GT3s.

 

[Michael88]

I wasn't happy with how my LEGO armored dark angel figurine turned out so I gave it a complete overhaul.

Much better now, I just ordered all the 900 parts. All the limbs and wings are completely mobile via ball joints, the wings fold, the figurine will be taller than the typical 2 liter water bottle and the wingspan is even bigger.

That is awesome, I loved the early - mid 90's city theme and construction sets!

My favorite LEGO set of all the time is the 6662 backhoe. I remember my mother bought me three or four of these in...1992? - Because I always lost them during play. Ah nostalgia is setting in....

 

[Spacegoat]

That price is steep though.

Way steep. I was interested in it but it works out to almost $400 Australian. Pass. !

God damn... What an insane piece of kit this is. I want it so bad.
But not for $300 US. The F40 is far cheaper and just as good IMO.

I could be on this like a tramp on chips. I'll look for more info.

I thought this was pretty cool:
