It's a small technic buggy, which gives us the feelings of the small technic sets of the 90s. It has the two main functions of the similar technic sets, working pistons and HOG steering. It's in the scale of my maxifigs, which you can see on my previous picture. Hope you like it! :)
Just the right mix of curves, straight lines, glass and steel makes the PMUSA Technical Center one on the most interesting buildings in Richmond Virginia.
"Mornin', Dillinger."
"Combs, what are you thinking?!"
"Can't say I know what you're talking about."
"50%, Combs! He gets 50%! You knew this!"
"And you knew what you were getting when you came to me. You knew what you were getting when you got back into this business."
"The rest of the crew are mad that their payout was so weak, and now he's gonna be mad that I got nowhere near what was promised! And it's thanks to you!"
"You think I should feel bad for you, don't you? That's hilarious."
"You're a bastard, Combs."
"Eh, not impressed. I've heard worse in tongues you'd never understand."
"Do you know what that psychopath is gonna do to me for this!?"
"I know exactly what he's gonna do. Expose your dirty little past and ruin your fake-high class life you've built for yourself that you knew you never really could have anyway. "
"W-what do you mean?"
"A past like yours was obviously gonna come back around to bite you in the ass. You knew this. Yet here you are acting surprised when some fallen king hangs it over your head."
"I can't afford this, Combs. My family--"
"I don't care about your fake family, Dillinger. Hell, the only reason you and I are talking is because I figured Gotham Liberty would be fun to crack. It wasn't."
"So is this it? I gotta find new technical support?"
"Unless you can find something more fun, probably. So yeah. Get searching. Of course, after the little meeting you have tonight."
"How do you--"
"I know alot of things about this town, Dillinger. Things that as far as I'm concerned were better off buried anyway. Now....goodbye."

Just a little levitation for a Sunday.
(background taken with my phone, levitation taken with my camera)
Built for the 'Decisive Action' game on MOCpages. Send it a like there and help me rule the world! Fully functional and remote controlled.
I go over some practical things you can do in Studio to make designing with Technic parts easier.

Kanohi Tallus - the Mask of Walking
The wearer of this mask is granted the ability to walk on any surface regardless of density and orientation. The more it defies physics, the more the user must concentrate to keep the power active.
This mask was a project I actually planned on doing a couple years ago, initially inspired by the mask maker contest, which I didn't find time to take part in. Back then I bought the Technic 24-hour race car for parts for the build, but the threshold to start such a project proved too high. Only a bit over a month ago did I actually start making the mask, and ironically it took only 7 hours over two sessions. I think it helped that I had been thinking of the design and color scheme for a couple of years.
The color scheme was initially meant to be black at the bottom, green in the middle and white at the top, but due to part limitations and the color of the eyes that changed to primarily green and black. I mainly used parts from the 24-hour race car and air race jet technic sets, with a couple extras from my bin. The blue was not initially meant to be included, but when I was running out of green to define the eyes, the blue turned out to give a great accent, so I went along with it.
I wore the mask at Pii Poo 2018 lego event last month and a lot of jaws dropped when the kids saw it. It was kinda priceless.
Lego Technic Ice Planet Elephant Transporter. I was inspired by trans-orange parts from the 70317 Nexo Knights the Fortrex set and my model is stylized as old very cool series of 1993 year – Ice Planet. My model has three buggy-motors powered with two S-Bricks.

On 15 March 1939, the German army occupied what was left of our country crippled by the Munich agreement. A substantial part of the occupying troops consisted of motorcycle units equipped with mainly BMW machines with a sidecar. After the war the German army left a large number of these motorcycles in our country. Reliable and durable BMW machines were then in service here for many decades.

POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION IN UNIVERSITIES in the Communist Countries:
-------------------------------------
An example of a "Technical Drawing" Selection Test: the candidate was given five hours to produce an ink drawing, entirely in free hand, from a picture which he had to enlarge 1.5 times. The picture above is a genuine article (Romania 1959)
--------------------------------
There were only 60 places nation-wide for admission to the school of Architecture in Bucharest, in the "People's Republic (later the Socialist Republic) of Romania, a country of some 20 million inhabitants.
Each year the number of applicants were in the upper hundreds, an average of 10 to 15 candidates for each place.
After the Hungarian revolution of 1956 and during the peak of the Cold War an acerbate discrimination process was waged against children from a middle class background (the upper class by that time all but disappeared in the gulags and on the factory floors or rice paddies like during the Chinese Cultural revolution).
In practice the University entry selection had TWO phases or two rounds of admission exam:
The earlier round of admission exams was intended SOLELY for those candidates considered of coming from a "Healthy social class" that was the "politically correct" class (in today's parlance - call it workers and peasant's children, without the discomfort of competition of those children considered more gifted as they came from the "unhealthy social class" (origina sociala nesanatoasa) or the middle class of professionals (scientists, academics, teachers, office clerks, etc). furthermore, the "healthy class" progeny candidates who failed the first round of exams were allowed to compete again some two weeks later, in the second round, that is to be given a second chance to get in, yet this time having to compete against all other candidates...
The exams were structured in two groups: a first tier the "technical drawing test" such as this, where the applicant was given five hours to enlarge by 150% a picture showing a classical order(see above) and to draw it to scale in ink.
The second test involved also a classical drawing, this time from a plaster cast and it had to be drawn in pencil on a large piece of paper some 20 inches by 30 inches.
Those who would pass the first two tests were admitted to the second tier of tests which involved both written and oral maths and physics exams.
Furthermore to the above there was a quantum based on social and political positive discrimination in favour of the children from peasant and working class background and of those children whose parents were part of the communist party apparatus.
In addition, if for example you had a close family member in prison, or exiled in the West, or if your family had their house, land or business nationalised/expropriated, than you might just as well not have a hope in hell to become an architect in Romania!
NOTE that in secondary schools the national curriculum was not geared to the level required for admission to the School of Architecture in Bucharest, so parents had to pay "blood money" for private tuition, in order to improve their children chance at passing the disqualifying tests. Private tuition was nearly unaffordable in a communist society, where wages were at the survival level (except for the communist fat cats) and it was the privilege of a restricted circle of academics from the school of Architecture to profit financially from such a corrupt system by preparing the candidates for the exams!
The chances of any child whose parents were from the professional middle classes and were not communist party card-holders to be admitted at the school were absolutely NIL.
Finally the privileged few who were admitted to the school, selected on positive discrimination criteria, had later on, during their professional life, the opportunity, at best, to build chicken coops and silos for state farms, concrete tenements in the cities for the under dogs and especially the task of razing to the ground historical monuments, churches, city centres and villages in order to make room for the dictator's pharaoh ideas of planning architecture during the dark ages of the 1970s and 1980s.
NOTE: after the so-called 'revolution' which put down the Ceausescu couple in a coup-de-palais, the same crop of architects who were selected on the basis of positive discrimination to qualify professionally benefited from the spoils of opportunities to demolish historic buildings and replace them, wantonly with glass and steel structures in the best tradition of Cultural Terrorism
