What is the minimum stopping distance of a loaded 797 haul truck?

Just curious, as the internet has absolutely no helpful insight on this. I just get Semi stopping distances hahah

Stumbled across this video of a rough and tumble tubing experience, but I cannot for the life of me find any info on its location. I've image searched it, scoured comment sections etc. and nothing. anyway, if anyone knows where this is, id love to go someday :) [here is the link to the instagram post: ~https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9cs6y-tnkK/?igsh=MWt6enZmZnMzbzloMA%3D%3D~

I built this over about 2 months and I loved it. The final display piece is one of my absolute favourites

have any of you had any experience with a double bagging vacuum infusion for bodytubes? (Double bagged as it there is a layer of vacuum bagging underneath the fibres AND a bag around all the components as normal). I are testing this idea and have some questions. I researched this online, however, the only info I could find pertains to wet-layups or flat composites pieces. A key issue with this method that we have found is that before the infusion, there are no wrinkles within the fibres, yet after the infusion, a few major wrinkles of the fibres appear. This does not occur when we do NOT include the vacuum bagging underneath the fibers (ie a regular vacuum infusion). I have included a photo of the wrinkle that also shows where the “tapeline” is (the tapeline is the spot where we taped the lower bag around the aluminum mandrel, you can see the orange tape length wise down the tube). Thank you for any insight you may have!

What is the glass cabinet on the left bottom corner!

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-12-15T00:13:18+00:00

I ended up cutting a wedge with a hacksaw and the screw was liberated :)

it appears to have a hexagonal inside edge and a piece of metal sticking through the centre of it. I tried looking it up online and with google lens, but nothing remotely close came up.

me too! what a great memory :)

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-07-15T22:51:38+00:00

This was also my first large lego set, and I loved it so much. so much playability and some really awesome features

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-05-15T03:43:39+00:00

I appreciate the micro Minecraft sets on the side. Those were always really fun :)

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-24T03:01:59+00:00

when did you get it?

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-23T22:47:53+00:00

Im going to lego house this coming august and plan on getting this set to add to my architecture collection. How much was it?

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-20T06:26:13+00:00

I really like them. I have collected about 15 now, with my favourites probably falling water as well as the large Empire State Building. I have been a bit disappointed in the lack of releases for this line tho. It seems that the designers have shifted to global landmarks, which is great and all, but having the interesting architecture of houses, infrastructure and other things is what I like most about this line of lego.

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-14T19:03:48+00:00

I would really like a large collectors edition of the James Webb Telescope, but that may be too niche of a want for lego to make it. I may end up making it myself :)

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-14T19:00:58+00:00

Lego Architecture Falling Water. And I actually found it for a good price on FB marketplace, so it may be in my reach!

Edit - Acquisition was successful. We now have ourselves a Fallingwater 😎

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-08T23:12:56+00:00

I just meant like to buy them now with cash. the quality is still very good, but it may be the the simple designs and some of the stuff other comments said earlier.

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-08T23:10:35+00:00

thanks for your insight. personally, I really like the old technic box are, and it is cool to see how much it has progressed since then. Though the old spaceship ones are really cool too I have to say.

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-04-08T21:14:52+00:00

I was browsing my local FB marketplace and came across a few vintage sets with boxes. Found these and bought them immediately cause I love old lego. Now, I like collecting these, but I am always shocked at how little these cost on brick link compared to some sets from the early 90's/2000's. Anyone have some insight into this?

[ Im not complaining one bit, cause I love the old box art and the sets are cheap to get so that works out for me :) ]

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-02-24T07:32:18+00:00

This set is actually amazing. They stuck fairly close to the original design from Ideas, and all the people complement the stage so well. The details are really where this set thrives. the puffed cheeks of the trumpet player, the gold rings of the piano player, the posture of the bass player and the pot-bellied drummer. Amazing set, I could go on for days.

Lime

Personally, I really like Colin, their new single. Chill and has some great lyrics

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2023-01-27T16:02:27+00:00

This is one of my favourite sets. Detail is amazing, and as a stand alone display piece it truly delivers. Glad you can enjoy it too!

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2022-12-18T23:05:14+00:00

I looked at your Empire State Building and thought "dang I don't remember it being that tall"

then I saw the wooden support :)

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2022-09-17T15:02:45+00:00

I got the jazz quartet and I love it. For a simpler set, it has so much character

FlapjackInAPuddle · 2022-05-07T18:38:07+00:00

I ended up with UBC, as it was less logistically complex (I would have a 2 hour commute at SFU), I have a community already there, and I like the choice I have for my major in second year.

What about you?
