@Ramacco I haven't seen this one, thank you. My model is going to be larger, but it's still nice to see something inspiring.

Hi Sariel;

I just saw a thumbler on YouTube and found its Brickshelf Gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4131662 I thought it could help you to build your own (probably Black) Thumbler.

Regards
Ramacco

@Dornbi That's unlikely, the wings will be light and they contribute to the majority of the size.

@Sariel

Thanks – 120 studs sounds like a lot… I hope you will not run into the same problems as with the giant excavator.

@Dornbi
I want rotating engine turbines and main gun, retractable landing gear (pneumatics), moving ailerons (subtractor) and flashing position lights. The main gun will be probably detachable. I have some extra features in my mind but they are very experimental and I can’t tell if they are likely to come true, until I start building. Most of all, it’s going to be large – with wingspan at roughly 120 studs.

Hi Sariel,

what features are you planning to include in the A-10 Thunderbolt? I guess it could have a retractable landing gear, flight controls. How about the Avenger gun? Anything in the engine?

@Sariel to be honest, it is easy to miss. (low contrast) i didnt notice it until you mentioned it.

@Alexi-L It's the number of motors. Each * means one motor. There is a notice on the top of the very picture, and yet you managed to overlook it somehow.

I apologise if it’s already been stated, but what do the *’s represent in this picture?

Are they your personal analyses or viewer reception or something differnt entirely?

Thanks =)
And really looking forward to the Hummer =D

@David Luders I can use aluminium parts, but that's unlikely to resolve the stability problems. And it adds to the weight, so it would require a major redesign of the whole bearing structure. I don't like the idea though, using aluminium and LEGO parts together would damage the LEGO ones.

Your 2010 projects look awesome! By the way, have you ever considered replacing the broken Technic Liftarms in your Big Bucket Wheel Excavator with the STRONG, custom ALUMINUM parts featured in the recent article in http://www.technicbricks.blogspot.com/ ? Do your creations HAVE TO use 100% Lego parts, with no exceptions? It would be cool to see the Big Bucket Wheel Excavator finished (if just for a few hours, long enough to photograph and videotape)….

you’ve done a lot this year- each build has a few little details that i thought wouldn’t be possible in lego. (ie: the trafficators system, the floating gear in the chainsaw, etc.) i look forward to following your building in 2010.
