    [LDD MOC] Stephenson's Rocket

    Railway travel was the most common form of transportation for most of the 19th century. Not only was it sufficient for passenger trains, but it was convenient for goods trains as well. It helped to spread the power of many countries and greatly boost their economies. The winner of the Rainhill Trials, and one of the earliest steam locomotives ever built, Stephenson's Rocket, also simply known as Rocket, was built in 1829 by Robert Stephenson. It innovated steam locomotive design by only having a single pair of driving wheels, multiple boiler fire-tubes, a blastpipe, pistons directly connected to the driving wheels, a separate firebox, and more. Stephenson's Rocket beat out Novelty and Sans Pareil by achieveing the balance of power, speed, and reliability that the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was seeking. It served on the railway for a period of four years before working on the Brampton Railway. It was retired from service in 1862, and is today preserved at the Science Museum in London. A working replica was built in 1979 for the 150th anniversary of Rocket's construction. It is based currently in the National Railway Museum at York. The character of Stephen from Thomas & Friends is based off of this locomotive. This LEGO model is built as a mix of the original locomotive and the replica. It features the following 237 pieces Robert Stephenson & Driver minifigures Free-rolling wheels Working pistons Detachable tender Compatibility with standard LEGO track design I had a lot of dun designing this model and rendering it. Please comment and suggest ways I could improve the model! PM me if you're interested in obtaining the digital file so you can make changes for yourself and possible build this model in real life! Thank you.

    [MOC] Battle of the Heroes

    "I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!" "Your new Empire?" "Don't make me kill you..." "Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!" "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." "Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must." "You will try." Hello, all. Today I bring you a 708-piece MOC based on the climactic duel at the end of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. This was a lot of fun to design and bring about. It had been through two different designs before I settled on this one. I tried to make it a playset yet also retain display value, and I think I was able to achieve that here. Minifigures Anakin Skywalker Obi-Wan Kenobi Padme Amidala Wat Tambor Security Battle Droid Play Features Remove part of the roof to get access to the control room! Raise the door to allow Anakin and Obi-Wan to continue the fight on the catwalk! Press the knob to 'collapse' part of the structure! Detach the DLC-13 Mining Droid and hover platform to move around the lava fields! Have Anakin wipe out the Separatists in the control room! Have Obi-Wan and Padme confront Anakin on the landing platform! An alternate view of the set. You can see the DLC-13 Droid and more of the landing platform. A frontal view of the set. The Control Room The collapsing structure. Pushing the dark tan plunger detaches the vanes from jumper plates and they fall off. Want the .LXF? Here it is! .LXF File Please leave any comments or suggestions and tell me what you think! May the Force be with you!

    Unfortunately looks like this can't connect to the 2014 one. It includes all the scenes from the last one too (right quarter of bar, entrance, greedo/han seating area). You can just get Wuher separately and bricklink parts for the pod. Easy pass for me.

    January 2018 Magazine Mini Build:
  5. Agreed. Redoing the gallery isn't necessary compared to fixing program bugs and adding new parts.

    Nice joke. They're all rated PG. Granted, many movies like these rated PG back in the 80s would likely be rated PG-13 today.

    Kinda was hoping the Blues Brothers set would pass, but I guess they didn't because of the movie character's run-in with Nazis(?)

    I LOVE the Ach-To Training set and the Defense of Crait set! Kits that include buildings are always more appealing to me.

    We had @Stash2Sixx hint/infer in the LEGO Star Wars subforum that the TRON set may have been approved.

    Sad that we don’t get a new cockpit mold after all these years. You’d think they’d do a scaled-down UCS style one. I LOVE that moisture vaporator though!

    The LEGO Group takes civil actions against LEPIN

    LEGO gains ground against LEPIN. Beijing Higher Court ruled in July that the LEGO logo and LEGO itself is a "well-known trademark" in China. This will allow LEGO to more forcefully pursue any copyright infringement in that country. From news released today. https://brickshow.com/2017/11/lego-receives-well-known-trademark-recognition-and-legal-protection-in-china/

    I fail to see how this project isn't appropriate.

    Wait a sec, you mean it's based off this unreleased Kenner toy?

    75192 is the sort of sets people drop out of college for. Unfortunately I'm not going to drop out so I can spend $800 on this. I wonder how much it'll be to Bricklink what I don't have. Also stunned to see we get a pretty well done interior!

    I think it's reasonable to say there won't be an interior in this model either. Looks like all those extra pieces were delegated to reworking the exterior to make it look gorgeous!

    How can we trust you on anything you post? You have posted nothing but false rumors in the past and have made MULTIPLE fake accounts to get around your bans for posting fake news.
