I own almost all the sets, so I have had first hand experience with them all (except Rock Island Refuge) and all have their merits, but in the end, I voted for Pirates Perilous Pitfall. Because it has the best name. Is it the best set? no, not really. But I love the name enough, and it is a very unique set. So it gets my vote. EKnight

Oh, I love this soooooo much! It stays true to the original set, while still being fully spacey! And it's got a shark with a friggin laser beam! EKnight

Questions about using hydrogen peroxide (and other methods) to restore colour to a very special piece (Expedition Balloon)
Elephant Knight replied to Autumn's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I have used the Hydrogen peroxide method a few times, and haven't noticed any reyellowing. But I haven't had much luck in bringing grey back to it's original colour. Most white parts come back to being white, or at least closer to white. Often when I treat grey pieces, it isn't affected much at all, or it comes out an off shade, and a bit bright. But at the same time, the grey parts I have treated tend to be the very bad ones. As for the stickers, people seem to say it destroys stickers, and while the stickers don't survive unscathed, they don't completely destroy. Stickers that are printed onto white tend to have many small hairline cracks appear on them, sometimes not even noticeable at a distance. and stickers printed on clear it's even less noticeable. Restoring yellowed parts by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr Picture isn't the greatest, but you can see that the sticker really isn't any worse for wear. It was pretty rough to begin with, though.

Has Anyone Made A Purist USS Enterprise-type Ship W/ LEGO Space Factions?
Elephant Knight replied to SuperSquidman's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I have made a Classic Space Enterprise a few times, of various ones. Here is my Enterprise E: LL- 1707 Enterprise E by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr Enterprise A: LL 1701 Enterprise by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr Enterprise C: LL-1701 Enterprise C by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr And a Reliant as well! LL-1864 Reliant by Elephant-Knight, on Flickr My brother also has an excellent Starfleet Voyager/ USS Voyager mashup: LL Starfleet Voyager by Onvermel, on Flickr And he also has an Enterprise: LL Enterprise by Onvermel, on Flickr (I also have this very old Blacktron one as you may expect from me. But as I said, it's old.) EKnight- 10 replies

[MOC] Crossed Bones Ship COMPLETE! (Until disaster struck)
Elephant Knight replied to Elephant Knight's topic in Pirate MOCs
I am pleased to say that the Crossed Bones has been rebuilt. A few bits of rigging need to be redone, but otherwise it's good to sail away and pillage those villages! EKnight- 23 replies

[MOC] Crossed Bones Ship COMPLETE! (Until disaster struck)
Elephant Knight replied to Elephant Knight's topic in Pirate MOCs
Rumor has it it was another pirate captain, one with a grudge against the Crossed Bones' captain, Captain Black Eye. But a hurricane or kraken cannot be discounted! Both the Imperial Guards and the Governors have taken the credit for its destruction, with likely means neither was at fault. The Armada have yet to comment on the situation. I do plan to rebuild the ship. I consider one of, if not the best ship I have built. Certainly it is one of the most detailed. On the plus side, it wasn't built out of brown bricks. The situation would have been much worse... EKnight- 23 replies

A tough one for me, but in the end, I voted for 10210 Imperial Flagship, as it is my all time favorite Lego set. (Though I was tempted to vote for the Cross Bone clipper as a joke, as I think that is the worst pirate ship, even though I have huge nostalgia for it.) EKnight

[MOC] Blacktron Trident - NoVVember build
Elephant Knight replied to Rubblemaker's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I'm always a fan of when people use Bionicle parts in their spaceships, well. done. In terms of being a Vic Viper, I don't think the forward prongs are prominent enough. I fell the forward prongs should be sticking past the cockpit, but that's just my opinion. still excellent, so I had to blog it https://color-it-blacktron.blogspot.com/ EKnight -
I think Option B looks more natural. EKnight
