It’s begun. Getting round to my biggest Lego present from Xmas.

2 of 20 bags down. Do you recognize it?

Let me know if my post bore you of my build progress. This one is one of the hardest I’ve built so far. 3 out of 20 bags done and I appear to be building a gearbox. I never realized that the G wagon had a working gearbox. I don’t know how they engineered this thing but it’s really complex.

Edit. 4 of 20….

I had an idea for a work thing, but I don't know if I can actually do it without spending a fortune.

I wanted to make a real QR code out of Lego - but wanted to figure out how big it would likely need to be and how much it would cost to buy the pieces from the Lego store, if that's even possible.

If anyone has the Lego software (what used to be Lego Digital Designer), would anyone here fancy making a virtual render of it, and export the pieces list? (P.S. The weblink is not final yet, so the link doesn't work at the moment, but this would be the size of it):

I don't have LDD anymore, but will try and render it in Stud.io later this evening (if I get the chance). Quick question though, does it have to be a representation of the dot form, or block form? Also, does it need to be flat, or raised?

Either dot or block - I prefer the dot one, but I assume it would be easier to make / obtain IRL if it was the block form. It doesn't need to be flat either, just so long as it is readable by a mobile phone QR code scanner. Thanks for the help, that would be great if you could try it out! :cheers:

Assembled this several years ago. I’ve made a half dozen of the Speed Champions sets but this was the first large-ish project. Decided to use the black Fuchs originally meant for the Turbo so I could try to simulate my own car. Only main things off are the tan interior and amber rear turn indicators..
