spacepilot3000 Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Hey Eurobricks! That's my litte contribution to 2010th Christmas! And like Clark Griswold I was searching for something special... That is the result of adding 10199, 10216, some Bricklink stuff and some "X": Here we get closer to the "Clark Griswold" Brick... Let there be light! Hope you're in Christmas mood now!

Captain Becker Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I have been on Chrismas mood already for a month But to the MOC itself, wow, you truly made a beatiful chrismas scene over there And those lights gives it a very good touch. Overall you did fantastic job whit this Merry Chrismas.... Oh wait, it isnt a chrismas yet but oh well.. Captain Becker Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Looking at this makes me want Christmas to come quicker The WTS and WB look great together and The light's make it look even better. I love the piled up snow next to the pathway Great work Spacepilot3000 (P.S I've blogged about it here, hope you don't mind) Edited October 31, 2010 by The Red Brick Quote
eiker86 Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 oh my good =D this is super duper fantastic =) just love it =) Quote
greg3 Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Excellent stuff... the toy shop and bakery look great together especially with your paths and landscaping... but the pictures with the lights lit up are even better... and very festive!! Great work... Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Great! Those sets look fantastic together. Quote
prateek Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Wow. I'm getting all fuzzy inside. I love this. I'm so jealous of your lights! They are so wonderful. I just love the path ways you made too :thumbup: Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Beautiful, just beautiful 'spacepilot3000'.....I feel that this was what Lego intended this series to look like together...again beautiful ! The best part......lighting up ! Keep on.......with that Christmas feeling ! Quote
buddy Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I thought this diorama was stunning, even before I'd seen that it lights up! I nearly fell of my chair because its so amazing! ~buddy~ Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Ahh, I could already feel the Christmas spirit upon us, especially after seeing this wonderful creation - the lighting effects are just spectacular and really gives the Yuletide Season mood. :classic:Great job on this spacepilot3000!

fred67 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 WOW!!! Sorry I didn't comment on this the other day... been very busy since Sunday... but I'm really impressed. First, on the layout... fantastic. I have those sets, but I'm not planning on a lot of white LEGO "snow," I was just going to rely on the snow "fabric" (that white, almost felt-like fabric with the sparkles in it?) and I'm still not inclined to go as far as you did. As such, I wouldn't be able to do something as cools as the shoveled walkways without having them look stupid, so bravo to all that extra work... that's the kind of thing that turns a simple display of LEGO sets into a real nice MOC, and not just your average MOC, but a GREAT one. Of course, it's the lights that make it stand out... and I NEED to ask how you did the string of lights. I see the extra wire (just barely though), but I just got a new pack of 3mm white LEDs and had planned on doing the lampposts, but that string of lights is awesome.... but even these tiny LEDs I can't imagine how you fit them into the back of those clips. Anyhow, congratulations on your Diorama.... you will have me beat for techniques, for sure! (although that doesn't take much) Also, not to jones in on your thread, but a tip for people who want to do something like this.... these (as well as many other interesting things) are available from LEGO Education: I may order some more. I have a set for my Hoth display. Quote
Zeya Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Oh wow. I was just finishing up building my winter toy shop building, and I have most of the two winter sets up on my fireplace mantle. I was going to post photos when I was done, but I can't hold a candle to this. How did you do the lighting? Tiny LEDs? I'm so confused... Great job though! Quote
spacepilot3000 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Posted November 5, 2010 At First the bad news: I had to drill some LEGO Parts. OUCH! I know... But to get all the 1x1 Bricks lighted up, i had to put the cables somewhere... (The holes are in 1mm, so I could user very thin cable) The whole project the is realized with lots of 1mm SMD LEDs, (here in Germany i got them from Conrad Electronics) which can be bought around the world in good sorted electronic shops. I used red, green, blue, yellow and white versions. An Example shot: Technical data: Type SMD-LED 1206 with lens Color xxx Package 0805 with cable 240 mm UF 3.15 V IF 20 mA Design clearly Angle 140 ° 40 mcd luminous intensity IV Dim. (L x W x H) 2 x 1.25 x 1.1 mm RoHS Compliant Yes To get rid of calculating resistors, i decided to use 4 constant power source kits (2 / 20 mA 3-25 V), which always are giving out the right power for in series soltered LEDs out of 19V. My power supply is an old Fujitsu Siemens Notebook Power Supply. ... coupled with sweat and patience that's the whole secret Quote
fred67 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Thanks, spacepilot; I'm not adverse to a little hard work or drilling 1x1 clips to run wire through... I just got about 500 of them for microscale castles and think I can spare a dozen. I'll have to see if I can find those LEDs, though; I don't think Fry's has them, although I'm probably better off not buying at Fry's anyway. Quote
Big Cam Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Now that is amazing. The bricks that are lit up just plain don't look like they should be able to light up. I'm just amazed at how you were able to do that. You really made these sets look good. Even batter than LEGO themselves could. Quote
metalgearsolid Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Really really nice! I would love to have a display like that for Christmas. Blogged here as well. Great work again! Edited November 7, 2010 by metalgearsolid Quote
nuno2500 Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Hi. Congratz on this very well done job. I am doing some expiriences with 3mm Led to but i can find such thiny wires. Can you mail me some tip? Best Regards, Nuno Caravaca aka nuno2500 Portugal nuno2500@yahoo.com Quote
spacepilot3000 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Posted December 7, 2010 Hey, here is the latest Update! @Nuno - hard Question. Here in germany I get everything from Conrad Electronics.... Merry X-Mas, Space Quote
soundwave_sw Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Very nice. Another 10,000 imported Italian lights and you will have a true Griswald Christmas! Quote
Cancerkitty Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Wow, that's a great sleigh design. The lighting you've done is incredible as well. Hat's off! Quote
KyleJohnson11 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Very nice! I love the whole city set up. The sled design is spot on too! Nice job! Quote
