    Which Modular should I buy?

    Hi there, I've only got the FB, I wish I had gotten the other sets, if you want brick pieces what about the family house? I know it's not a MOD but still has a good selection of parts IMO, plus you could buy 2 for the price of 1 MOD, it would be something different. Cheers.

    MOC - Hazmat Unit

    That's really cool, you should put the hazmat guy next to the truck, it definately looks the part, spotty dog!

    MOC: 2 New Steampunk Walkers and some figs.

    Here's an update on things, more work on Captain Birckbeard's Airship. We have lift off, propellers are almost done, I wanted 6 but they're too long, but with 4 they seem too small, I've thought about a chinook style with two large propellers, 1 at front and 1 at back, this sounds the better option but we'll see what happens, I also wanted 2 propellers at the back but could only fit 1 in. I tried adding a small jail but the jail was too big so I turned it into a cargo hold. I've begun work on the top deck, I'm not happy with the front so that will get changed, there's a hatch leading down, I had a photo of it but it's not a good one and the deck is removable to give it some playability which my models lack, also the cannons are there to see how they look, but they wont look like that once it's finished. I've never built a ship before so I'm finding this difficult and my patients is wearing thin, suggestions are welcome. Cheers.

    LEGO CITY 7696 - PRIVATE JET

    I received mine the other day in the padded envelope, the box was also a little squished but it didn't bother me too much, the envelope though when I opened it was full of this fluffy stuff like carpet fluff or something and it went everywhere Anyways, I can totally justify what I said before Nnnneeeeooooowwwwwwmmmmmmmm! (that's the noise the plane makes )

    MOC : Somewhere in Venice

    Wow, just wow, this is totally a venetian masterpiece! I especially like James Bond although I was kind of expecting Indiana Jones, venice chase style, this also reminds me of the venice level from tomb raider Also the birds, the newstand and fountain are very well done How long and how many pieces did it take to do? Cheers

    Building desk

    Hi there, I spend most of my time at our home, we have a study where there is a few desks and some old school drawers which I use for storage and building, but now we have a nice big shed with plenty of bench space to work on, but I will be using the small bench on the left primarily for building. More pics. Cheers.

    REVIEW: 8804 LEGO Minifigures Series 4

    Fantastic review! If I wasn't hyped up for series 4 I am now. A box seems like an interesting idea, how much does one whole box cost? Also there wasn't a voting option for both dots and frrly touchy, although I am pretty useless at both there will be alot of luck in there too I'm really looking forward to the surfer chick, punk rocker, skater dude and hazmat guy, but I will try and collect all 16 I'm also really amazed at the increase in printed detail in these minfigs and some of those unique accesories Again a fantastic review WhiteFang top knotch

    Want to get into MOCs but.....

    Well, what I do for MOCs is order any parts I need off Bricklink, I go through looking to see what parts I need and ones that look cool and interesting, I think it's a bit cheaper then buying doubles just for parts. A few years ago I did fish around on peeron and found instructions for my old sets, haven't gotten around to rebuilding them yet but I will, eventually

    MOC: Modular Bank

    That's awesome, great combination! I always thought about those column pieces, was thinking a gallery/library/museum or something. I love all the detail in this busy bank Did you think about some bars or 'bullet proof' glass for the counters? I'm not sure if you mentioned it on MOCpages it's not loading for me

    REVIEW: 7696 Private Jet

    Lovely review, mine is in the post The reason I got mine is because of the nostalgic 4 wide design just like the good old days The newer 8 wide planes with all their prefab uglyness are just awful They are far too big, why did they change the size? Anyways, this plane looks great and you've certainly done a great job reviewing it

    [MOC] Mecha "ARS-275"

    That looks very nice indeed I'd put a boiler and some dials on the back but that's just me I like the use of the hands and legs well done. Very good mech

    First Series 4 Minifig

    Nice photography of the event, you've captured the anticipation and excitement brilliantly Is it really next month when they come out? It's gone over so fast, time flies when you're playing lego Nice to know we have a chance of guessing the figs with the dots, although i was pretty useless at that How bumpy are the dots? in series 3 I found it hard to distinguish the proper dots between dimples in the packaging. Congrats btw

    Samurai Dojo

    That's really amazing, I love all the action in it. Nice use of the raised baseplate, it doesn't look too prefab if you know what I mean. I struggle with my castle baseplate to come up with something, hmm...might be good for a steampunk HQ Awesome MOC!

    MOC: Manor room

    Wow, very well done vig, that chair is just awesome and that vulture is fantastic, I also like the cabinet too. The minifig is nice, I really like his face it's just his hair it looks too flat compared to his face and torso, I think this one would look better as it looks a bit more detailed Part 64798 Minifig, Headgear Hair Swept Back with Widow's Peak Excellent

    MOC: The Outer Wall

    That's really cool, loving the lil details and I especially like the split lands, it just looks so awesome I also like the curved fence and the cotton patch Spotty dog

    A gatehouse

    Wow, that is awesome, if the D2C contest had Kingdoms this would definately get my vote My favourite parts are the lift and the amphibious vehicle, I also like the stuffed enemies aswell nice touch. This is a very good well designed moc with plenty of features to keep anyone busy for a while Super duper, well done!

    [MOC] The Outpost

    Firstly I love it, so much detail in this tiny vig, the wall is very well done and I like the roof, I'm not sure about the very top though I want to put a brown plate under so it sits flat if you know what I mean. I love the posing too, aswell as the lil bird and the sword on the front of the base. If you did put a ton of weapons underneath I wouldn't of mind an outpost needs a variety of weapons for the variety of enemies but I do like the simple things and I quite like that ladder too The more I see awesome vigs like this makes me want to try a proper detailed steampunk one. A deliciously detailed vig, proper job

    MOC: Food Truck

    Mmm, can't wait to see what it looks like with the stickers on. It sounds like you've got an addiction, I have a tendency to go nuts too, join the club, Legoholics Annonymous lol I got an image of AFOLs sitting in a circle, Me: "Hi my name is Jack and I'm a Legoholic." Group: "Welcome Jack, the first step is to admitting you have a problem." Me: "Problem? I don't have a problem I thought there'd be some lego here, see yas" I didn't reallise the coffee and hw would be in the front, our food trucks are different here across the pond

    We need a new sub theme

    You've been stealing my thoughts! I did think about a zoo, sealife centre, circus, theme park theme etc, although could be fun and provide lots of new parts probably wouldn't be as big of a hit as the current aforementioned themes emergency and construction which is why I think TLG wouldn't go down this road, however I am sure there will be other themes in the future that will bring out new moulds, eg kingdoms with the new chicken and goat mould. One thing I missed was the hospital subtheme, injured minifigs need somewhere to go, I thought this would have been a recurring thing but I don't know the numbers Anyways I did think of a theme that could have legs, A wilderness/mountain theme, based on survival you could have, Campsite + brown bear Mountain Rescue Helicopter & Climber Naturalist with camera + deer Canoeist Treehouse Etc. A few new moulds but nothing too extravagant. We've seen the log cabin creator set touching on this type of theme, with bear grylls/ray mears and scouts as a kind of backing it could be a runner what do you guys think? an adventure/camping/mountain/survival/wilderness kind of theme.
