Has anyone got a link to a moc Barad-dur combining two sets together? I'd like to know if snooze has done it and if they've modded the interior at all as well?
https://rebrickable.com/mocs/?q=Barad-dûr has a number of "backs" but they seem to recommend not using two sets as you need more rock at the back so the usage from the second set is in the 25% range.

Hypothetically, if I were to one day build an N-1 starfighter and spray paint the respective parts in chrome, couldn’t I just use randomly-coloured parts instead of sourcing all the parts in LBG? Would the colour underneath affect the look of the chrome paint at all?
I did that - I went with all LBG to help the consistency unless there was a lego met silver part available. Lego uses LBG for its drum lacquered parts in silver and gold (if you rub them you will find that's what is under the paint). I'd avoid using anything dark - unless your going to prime first and then your going to get paint build up.

Has anybody who has the set and has added extra floors got any parts list or instructions they used to do so? I’ve built the base and am unsure whether to hold off or try and extend!
I've ordered in from BL parts to swap out the brown/tans from the lower tiers for black (ditto any plates of LBG etc for black), parts to change the large LBG rock elements for smaller slope/wedges in DBG. and used the instructions to be able to add in and extend the tower at a few points. I did a mix on the TofO of extending the existing floors (its amazing how adding even a brick or twos height to each of the existing levels keeps the look but add up height overall) and adding new one floors, but for now Ill look to extend the tower about half a floor or so first up.

My Orthanc is now at 52 inches tall....my 10333 plan is to do a new base (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-187734/Tigerton_bricks/base-extension-for-barad-dur-10333/?sort_parts_by=4&sort_parts_dir=D#details), replace the brown/grey in the lower sections and then add height in the central tower with some grebbeling on the outside for now. If someone creates a good new section idea I might then put that in.
I had not long finished a Barad-dur MOC (talk about bad timing but I only got the final bricks in March....hey ho) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-126262/mielus/lotr-barad-dur/#details
So Ill probably move the lava and walkway I added to the MOC over to the official set

Either they're selling the entire thing in segments thinking they'll get more that way, or someone bought a second copy to increase the tower height. Did you see the base segment for sale?
Or to provide a matching "half" to close the set into a full castle - some people did that back in the day with the TofO.

Mine was bent.
I can remember the old version of Mouth's helmet came in a seperate plastic bag.
Do you guys think Lego is going to replace the bent helmets?
Worth a try calling customer services.

I’m looking to sell off some of my collection. I thought this forum had a market section but can’t find it now. Is eBay my best option?
https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/16-buy-sell-trade-and-finds/ I have used this before.
But personally I find ebay to have worked out better for me - it probably depends on location - I imagine if I was near to London maybe it would have been different but not being that close to other members meant it was never really that easy to do.
If your selling off any MOCs then there are some things to be aware of with using ebay - IP protection has long arms.

Any opinions on the best U-Wing MOC? I'm looking for something that is roughly minifig scale and as studless as possible.
I'm considering picking up the instructions for the Brick Vault version as they have a sale on but
wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions.
My recommendation for you.

Hello Hold,
I'm also very interested in your PM to get inputs to paint my legos in silver. Your result is fantastic ! It looks like some tiles are still LBG as well which makes the result pop out really nicely with different light angles, is that correct ?
I googled plastikote and they seem to have been bought by Dupli-color, is it still any good ?
Thanks a lot for any advice !
Cheers
Welcome to Eurobricks! PM sent to you - you may find some limts on your account as a newbie (check the new member FAQs). Nope no difference at all that I have noticed.

You mean buying the parts in silver? That would have been incredibly expensive! Is there even a seller that offers such a wide variety of silver parts?
Yup expensive and nope not many!
8 minutes ago, neroart said:Well, not all of them of course but different parts, different metallic colors... But after the n1 (which was quite expensive relative to part count) I'll just throw in a few flat, metallic, pearl silver parts here and there and spray the rest. That'll be fun, actually looking forward to taking it apart and rebuilding it again.
And no there aren't enough parts and sellers... the problem is usually that even for just one lot you need several sellers as they usually only have pieces items....
PM'd - yup echo your comments on parts and sellers, throw in the odd lego part and it helps with the shading and patina and keeps costs down.

@Hold0511 soooooo.....now that I wanted to Update the BLO parts, I am reconsidering the the spraypainting. First i thought i'll just buy parts....but after having done that for the mando n1 i quickly went back to the painting plan :D god, these parts are expensive... can you tell me which spray you used exactly, i remember you mentioned plastikote.
Yup I found that's the best balance between a realistic finish similar to Lego's own drum lacquered parts and it being non destructive and removable if you so desire. I can drop you a pm if you want more details to avoid upsetting anyone in this thread.

Found one on eBay
Some other awesome sets also being sold by that seller, more of the Starbricks series plus some of Anio's.

Never really wanted a lego Neb B until now, this is a real beauty, large without being so big I could not find room for it, detailed without being so much it's a organ donation to get the parts - great job, looks awesome and I now have my 2023 "biggie" sorted I think.
-
Looking mighty sweet, the proportions look great, might be another purchase of your great builds - and I have all those spare silver parts ready for something shiny....

I’m considering selling my book only. What’s the price of it going for now?
Just sold mine - by all means drop me a pm.

Noice very noice/

Nice I like this - clean with a nice balance of some studs but not too many.
I'm thinking a dark blue / orange version would really pop....non canon but hey....

Book, unused stickers and Blue Squadron tile still available.

If any EB members want to contact me directing to buy away from ebay and avoid the fees we can discuss a lower price - drop me a pm.

The original painting is supposed to be a squadron of WW2 "X-wings" about to be bombed by (what look to be German) "TIE fighters." Note the rebel insignia on the sides of the rebellion craft.
Ah with you now - thanks - great looking beast regardless.

Uber cool, especially the sand blue colour scheme - but what's the Star Wars reference?
-
First BL order of BLO parts arrived and so far looking very good I have to admit - I was a bit sceptical but you can see from the remaining tan parts that it does make a positive difference.
Now I have to wait for the final parts to arrive for the remaining tan replacements then sort out that nose alignment.....
