giomel Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi all, I have got the incredible book from Peter Reid a couple of months ago and I really would like to build some of the spaceships. I wasn't able to find any other clue / picture to even start to figure out how they are built. I know it could be asked many time but, is there any place where to find more info on how to build those incredible spaceships? Tnx in advance Quote
Missing Brick Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, You could try posting questions about a particular model on Pete's flickr channel here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/legoloverman/ However, don't expect to get LDD instructions. His builds are incredibly complex and use alot of rare parts and innovative connections. If you're a beginner I'd suggest trying to copy some of his simpler mini-builds first. Good luck Quote
Dan73 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I'm somewhat in the same boat as giomel - I entered my "dark ages" in '86 and Lego's come a long way since then. I'm in awe of all the Neo-Classic MOCs, but the building techniques (such as SNOT) are a bit if a mystery to me. I have Mr Reid's book on the way and hope to maybe pick up a trick or two from that (I knew before buying it that it wasn't a full-on instruction manual, but that it did have some instructions for smaller craft/bots), but am wondering where else I can learn about building techniques in the 21st century....?

Missing Brick Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Lots of interesting technique demos in this flickr group: https://www.flickr.com/groups/788191@N24/ Ace builder Tardisblue also has some interesting demo's of how his intricate ships go together: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tardisblue/ Plus there are some great tutorial threads here on eurobricks, eg. Derfel Cadern's medieval village tutorial: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60907 Tree building techniques: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=68638 Advanced building techniques: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21936&st=50 Just google 'eurobricks' + whatever you're trying to build - to get some inspiration.
