    How do you create a Private MOC? I've never seen an option for this.
  2. Boulderer
    Seconded! I'm surprised that wasn't the first thing that you did when you got your hands on the set
  3. Boulderer
    A rather awesome tank!

    What did you buy today?

    Boulderer replied to Kikuichimonji's topic in Community

    4958 Creator Dinosaur. Bit of a departure from my usual sets but, I'm looking forward to the build.

    I really like this MOC. It's a really polished build with great attention to detail. The type of MOC many of us aspire to

    Incredible work! Seeing them all together is really impressive. You'll have to post where and when they will be touring, so we can get along to admire them in person.

    What Lego-related thing did you do today?

    Boulderer replied to Savage Oppress's topic in Community

    Been busy sorting through a few incomplete sets I picked up a while back. Not far off completing them but, Bricklink will have to come to the rescue for the final few pieces.

    Love them both in the black colour scheme

    What's your workspace like

    That's a really neat setup ... if only I had a basement

    Ever got stuck with a bad nick?

    Boulderer replied to Zerobricks's topic in Community

    I've been quite fortunate with nicknames online, so far. Though I have had one or two hijacked over the years.

    With the price of those metal hooks these days, that'd be gourmet dining

    I would have to agree about the standard of the modern sets. More PF does not necessarily make for a better designed set. I think it can actually mask a lack of real ingenuity, the likes of which were seen in the 8880 and 8460 sets. The modern sets are great, don't get me wrong, but when you look at the number of components (total and special) versus the functionality, I can't help thinking that there are missed opportunities. On another angle, there seem to be few original subjects. How many diggers, of various incarnations, does anyone really need?! A few PF components, a bigger bucket, and high price tag; does that really make the 42030 the mega set that many make out? I remain to be convinced.

    I'd back enamel over ABS any day

    I'm enjoying sitting back and observing all the speculation ... it's mildly amusing

    Fantastic MOC! I'm glad to see an MOC without PF, for a change

    Are you a collector, MODer, or MOCer?

    Boulderer replied to TangersTechnic's topic in General LEGO Discussion

    I'd say that since coming out of my "Dark Age" I'm heavily leaning towards collector. Prior to the DA I was definitely at the opposite end of the spectrum as an MOCer. I've started to venture into the MOC world again recently, albeit in a rather small and incompetent way

    ... to become worthy of listing for insurance purposes, or for listing in a will? We were discussing the extent of the ever increasing boxes of Lego, this weekend, when the subject of value came up. After the numbers started adding up, and up, the subject of insurance was raised. Would an insurance company believe us, AFOL's, in the event of a not insignificant claim? Or should we be listing everything now, before we end up having to find out? So, I thought I'd ask the EB community a few questions: Do you have your Lego insured? If so, is it specifically listed with your insurer? More morbidly, has anyone specifically mentioned Lego in a will or similar legal document? Might make an interesting poll at some point too.

    At what point does Lego become valuable enough ...

    Boulderer replied to Boulderer's topic in Community

    All very interesting answers, thank you. Has anyone had any issues with convincing insurers that you own Lego to the value of 000's (as I'm sure many on here do), at the age of 30, 40, 50, 60+? Having photographic evidence and a comprehensive inventory is great advice, and should counter any doubts. However, I'd imagine that even this level of records would still require that the items be pre-registered with an insurer. I've known similar situations with sports equipment, in particular climbing gear, where photographs have proven enough evidence for insurers to pay out. However, these items are far more "normal" for an adult to be in possession of.

    42021 and 42022 (x2) but nothing else ... yet. 20/09/2014 ... added 42026 today
  22. Boulderer
    Great, thanks. I'll take a good look at that this evening.

    Great looking truck. Another case for TLG partnering with specialist tyre manufacturers

    Is the scaler a digital tool? Or a method of working out scales?

    Just found this series, and i'm really glad I have. I love the simplicity of the builds and the incredible way you have managed to make them so evocative of the subject. Brilliant!
