New MPS elements

About a year ago I introduced the Modular Platform System(MPS) to help people to built its own supercars with advanced suspensions system easily.

You can find all published information about it here: MPS

Now, 13 months after the last update of it, I want to add some new elements to the MPS(axles and frames)

In this moment is when I need your opinion and ideas for new MPS elements.

Sheepo's Garage second aniversary!!

This week is the second aniversary of this website!!!

(Cake by seankenney: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=297746)

Thanks to everyone to help me to keep this site working!!

This two last years have been very important for me as Lego builder.
My MOCs have been very popular with tons of visits in this website and for its youtube videos (specially the Porsche and the Defender), also some of them have appear in a magazines around the world, I am selling instructions, even I am building some Lego MOCs under request to some companys

This website receive around 1800 visits each day(using blogger data), 55,250 visits in the last 30 days, and nearly 1 million since I created this site 2 years ago. This is a fantastic result for me, and I can't wish better results ;)

I know I am not the most prolific technic builder, but I prefer build only 2 or 3 big MOCs each year and keep my MOCs with high complex level, because I think that this is my hallmark.

At the begining if this year I started to sell my first instructions, the sales of it are very good, and I have the intention to make instructions for some of my others big MOCs(Veyron, Porsche and Mini), but to make it I will need many time.

This is my route map for the next months (and years...):

- Continues launching one big MOC each 5-6 months. In this moment I am working in completly new car.
I published here a entry about failed supercar some weeks ago, finally I didn't disassemble it, so maybe I will can continue with it.

- Upgrade the Porsche 911 and the Veyron with new gearboxes with better reliability and made instructions for they and for the Mini too.

- Add more elements to the MPS, I know it looks as I forget it some months ago, but this is not true. Comming soon I will publish an important entry about it.

- Publish a completly new Modular System, I have developed it along the last months and I am very hopeful about it. I think it will change your point of view about the complex supercars...

- Also I will publish some little technical ideas and usefull mechanims.

I hope I will can follow my own route map ;)

Thanks again to everyone for your support and I hope you will like my next entries!!

Land-Rover Defender 110 instructions are now available!

After a long wait, finally the Land-rover Defender instructions are now available!!!

If you want to learn more about thie creation, please click here

Finally the Defender has 3442(+3 extra) parts including controller(!!)

The instructions are made in PDF format, and they have 448 pages(96 MB).

Remote controllers with instructions

Many people have asked me about the remote controller I use to control my supercars.

My usual remote controller is a triple controller, it is made with 3 normal PF remote controllers joint with some added elements to make it easier to use.

Peterbilt 379 & CAT C15

Since I was a child I has been a fan of big trucks, and specially of American style trucks(in Spain is strange to see trucks with long noise).

For this MOC I have chosen one of the most charismatic and representative models of these trucks: a Peterbilt 379.

Lego Fan Weekend 2012 in Skærbæk

At the end of the next month I will go to my first international event: The Lego Fan Weekend event in Skærbæk at September 29th and 30th

I will go there with some of my MOCs as:

- Bugatti Veyron 16.4
- Mini Cooper Mark I
- Land-Rover Defender 110
- Truck Trial 4x4, not presented in this website yet, but it appears in the Hispalug Technic Weekend video.

Also I will show there a complety new MOC.

It has around 5000 parts(it is not finished yet, but this is the biggest MOC I've ever built...) and a lot of functions: with new gearbox, new brakes system, new suspension system and much more!!!:

I will see you there!!!

Land-Rover Defender 110

Available complete instructions!! More info here

After many months of work through the last year, I present you my new supercar: a Land-Rover Deffender (110 version).

Yes, for me it is a supercar, it is not a truck trial or a normal 4x4. Yes, I know, it is very high and square, but it has many advanced features and solutions, and for me it is enought to call it supercar.

Making of: Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Cabriolet PDK

To celebrate the first anniversary of my Porsche 911, I show you the same as I did with the Veyron some months ago: a timeline of car development.

The design time for this car was specially long, because the car is very very complex and I needed some time to build others MOC as the Lizard 8x8 or huge Bridge-layer (not presented here) to keep mi head clear.

The design of this car started after finish the Veyron.
Initially the idea of ​​building a second car so fast it was only for one reason: use in it all the mechanisms developed for the Veyron but I couldn't use, however some time after it was much more than that ...

Also if you look closely you can see things never show before...

Bugatti Veyron and MINI Cooper in Cuusoo.com

After many requests asking me to upload my cars to cuusoo.com, I decided that now is the time to do it.

Cuusoo is a webpage where anybody can upload it's own proyects/MOC, and the web visitors can vote for them, if any proyect get 10,000 votes, it will be released to the market as a Lego official set!!!

If I get the 10,000 necessary votes, you will can buy those MOCs like a Lego Official set.


Here you can vote for my Bugatti Veyron 16.4

And here for my MINI Cooper Mark I

I wait for your votes!!!
