Bump because the platform doesn't seem to like my images

Hello again everyone,

This is literally a bump because right now I noticed that for roughly around a week the platform is not displaying images in my submission description, making them feel incomplete and out of context walls of text, and I believe this is unfair that time is running out for my submissions while the platform experiences this kind of issue just for my account (or maybe other accounts).

I definitely did not remove the photos, nor did I use photos that are not in gallery in my description. Also the moderation team will usually prevent you from submitting description that feels incomplete like this and try to make you fix such issues before the submission goes live.

I hope you will get to read this update. Please check out the free instructions for Cyber Cruiser build on Rebrickable when you have time. Also comment if you have any ideas on what's happening with this whole situation or you are experiencing the same thing with your submission.

PS: If you like this model, look at my Lego Technic Mechanisms youtube playlist, you will find more interesting ideas there. Share if you can :)

Passing first milestone of 100 supporters - thanks for support!

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your support on getting through the first milestone of 100 supporters - that took some time, but we've got there :)

 

Since I haven't been moving forward with this project for some time and this whole community is about sharing ideas I encourage you to take a look at my youtube channel where I showcase various builds and interesting mechanisms from them. Not all builds end up on Ideas platform for various reasons, so take a look when you have time.

Some examples of builds with interesting mechanisms:

Also stay tuned for Formula Race Car with a mini piston V10 that is coming soon to Ideas platform, it was bounced multiple times for various reasons, but I'm hoping for it to get accepted next week. I have started making instructions for some of my builds, so the instructions will be available on Rebrickable soon after that build gets accepted by moderators here on Ideas.

You can check out instructions for my Cyber Cruiser that are already on Rebrickable:

I will try to make full instructions like this for the builds that are supported by a lot of people, meaning there is interest in those specific builds, so I decided to start with my Mini RC American Style Semi Truck first. It'll take some time, but I want to make the proper instructions and maybe afterwards I'll pick up this project for the next instructions to be made.

 

Thanks once again and I keep my fingers crossed for passing the next milestone soon :)

Excavator base design available on BrickLink

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your support - it's progressing slowly, but it's getting close to reaching first milestone of 100 supports.

Meanwhile I have made a stud.io model for the base of the excavator with all that mechanical fun laid out inside.

You can check it out online in 3D or download the design of whole base here: 

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=172462

The model has two steps so you can check outter look of the base as well, not only mechanisms hanging mid air:

This kind of vehicle base could be used for other small construction vehicles with rotating tower.

 

Thanks once again and I keep my fingers crossed for passing the first milestone soon :)

If you like this model, look at my other ideas, you will find more interesting builds there.
