Hello, I’m the author behind PaulBTechnic Blog, where I dive into the world of building, modifying and inventing with Technic sets, C-models, MOCs and more. This space is my creative workshop, my testing ground and my playground all rolled into one.
Why I Build
There’s something about the structure, the mechanics and the potential of Technic that gets me every time. Rather than simply following instructions, I love to question: What else could this set become? How can I mount additional attachments? How can I make something modular, reusable, adaptable?
For example, in my recent project with my “Off Road Utility Truck (ORUT)”, I engineered a base chassis that supports multiple attachments via a Power Take-Off (PTO) system at the rear. It’s a design that lets me swap in a slasher, a grader, a rubbish loader, you name it.
What You’ll Find Here
-
Set Reviews & Alternate Builds: I examine official Technic releases and then explore how to re-use the parts for alternate builds (C-models) or full-blown MOCs.
-
Modular Design & Attachment Systems: My signature is building a core platform (like the ORUT) and then designing attachments that plug in seamlessly. The aim is not just “one build” but a system for many.
-
Workshop & Build-Space Optimisation: Because parts, beams and motors quickly multiply, I talk about how to organise your space, route your build workflow, and keep creativity flowing.
My Approach
-
Functionality meets play & display: I want my builds to work, steer, lift, drive, swap attachments, but also look good in display.
-
Re-use & rethink: Every build is an opportunity to maximise the parts at hand. Rather than buying all new pieces, I often re-engineer what I already have.
-
Modular & scalable: I design with the future in mind, the ability to add on, interchange, evolve.
-
Share & learn: This blog isn’t just a show-and-tell. I want to share my process, my errors, my successes so that other builders (and new ones) can learn, adapt, and be inspired.
A Bit About Me
I’ve long been drawn to electronics, mechanics, radio systems and making things work, whether in software consulting, radio-monitoring hobbies or building physical models. With LEGO Technic, I found a playground that combines structure, systems, problem-solving and creativity. Here, I’m putting that mindset to work: You’ll see detailed build write-ups, a design philosophy behind the attachments, and a push to expand what the standard sets can deliver.
What’s Next
With the ORUT as a proven base, I’m turning my attention to new attachments, more complex modules and perhaps branching into even bigger scale builds. Think: agricultural gear, off-road expedition modules, multi-tool vehicles. The goal is to keep pushing.
If you’re a Technic fan, curious builder or someone who enjoys seeing how structure and creativity intersect, you’re in the right place. Let’s build, experiment and evolve together.
