Set Review: 42036 Street Motorcycle
      Set 42036 is a nice, medium-sized set with basic functions, such as working pistons and suspension. It is a fairly good model, with nice blue panels and cool wheels (though I am not sure what to use them for). The kickstand works too and the flex axles are a nice touch. Video and link below:


MOC Spotlight: Nico71's Black Sedan (Now Orange)
      I am super impressed by this MOC by one of my favorite master builders, Nico71. He put a lot of detail in a small, compact car. I built this with my own pieces, but his original model was black and lime green. I absolutely love his MOC and hope he makes more similar to it. (Nico71's design, not mine) Video and link down below:


Set Review: 42057 Ultralight Helicopter
      This is my first set review, so here goes: The Ultralight Helicopter is a small, yet functional build. New part: 1x1 beam with two 1L axles. Part in new color: 5x3 bent panel in Dark Bluish Grey. When the rotor is turned, the pistons in the engine move up and down and the rear propeller spins. A lever at the side controls the rudder.

Two-gear Car Chassis
      This is my two-gear car chassis, which uses a nonlinear, synchronized transmission. There is a white switch at the top that changes gears. This is also my first MOC on Rebrickable, a LEGO website where you can post your MOCs. The cool thing about it is that every MOC has instructions! Link down below to the Rebrickable homepage and my MOC.
