Dan the Brickman Posted July 30, 2009 He might of had interesting high seas adventures in his tub. Although I wouldn't recommend getting the canvas sails that close to moisture as mildew would form on them. I ruined the canvas from the old western weapons wagon that way...... now its discolored, frayed and in bad shape.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILikePi Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) I ruined the canvas from the old western weapons wagon that way...... now its discolored, frayed and in bad shape.... You're replying to a post that's over 4 years old. By the way, I think that "midi" should be added to the glossary; it means a scale-size that's larger than mini, but smaller than minifig-scale.

Commander Flash Posted July 30, 2009 But the last post was in June...2009 So: Midi: At a small model scale, Not mini, but captures details of system or UCS models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hewkii9 Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) What does SNIR mean? Studs Not In a Row. Something similar [also from the unofficial guide to Lego Techniques] is AZMEP - which is a german acronym for the half stud offset [i don't know what it actually means in German, sorry].

JCC1004 Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Removed the stupid from this post. I'd like to prpose an IMA. "I must agree." Edited October 15, 2009 by JCC1004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke McAwesome Posted October 15, 2009 I some times use IMO as "I must agree". Some post Oky made it seems both options work. But that would be IMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCC1004 Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) But that would be IMA. I must have been seeing things. We should have an IMA then.

brickzone Posted November 2, 2009 From the EB Glossary thread pinned (top of page) on the Website & Forums forum: MOC: My Own Creation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matn Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) MOC stands for My Own Creation, so the creations you make with LEGO are MOCs. It's a common word in the world of AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO). There are many abbreviations in the LEGO hobby, like SNOT (Studs Not On Top) or LUG (LEGO Users Group), if you want to know them some more of them I suggest you take a look here: http://www.kockice.org/en/lego-abbreviationsacronyms/ or http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1188 (as brickzone just pointed out) .

WhiteFang Posted November 2, 2009 I have seen this term used quite a bit and I am unsure what it means? Topic is merged. I believed some of the members has explained the meaning to you.

Dennimator Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Okay, so this is a little off-topic, but I couldn´t find a better forum to write this question in (I don´t want to start a new topic just for a single question) and as this topic is for questions anyway, here we go: Is there a way to make the bold and *insert a colour here* "standard" when posting (so that you don´t have to click the B and the A (for colour) every time you post? It would be useful so that you don´t have to think of it every single time I post. Like JCC1004 for instance: I must have been seeing things. We should have an IMA then. Lifespam? He always has bold green text, so does he just add it on every single post? I would like bold blue (as in this and my most recent posts), and would like to know if I can get it without adding it to each post individually. Now don´t call me lazy, I´m just asking. Thanks.

Svelte Posted January 21, 2010 I think JCC colours each post individually. The staff strongly discourage the use of bolded, non-standard coloured text. Blue is probably even worse on the eyes than dark green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
