That's a cute lil vig, I really like that gangster, I always thought of doing a kind of lego mafia with a restaurant and all that in mod style, they could be down the docks too I just love the pinstripe torso nice one
-
Yup very nice set, looks like it has excellent swoosh value
-
If you could put the coffee and hot water dispensers on the back rather than front and put some condiment dispensers in front that might work, also is there a real photo to compare the two?
-
Wow, you're a genius The detail on this truck is fab, I never thought about a food truck, an ice cream truck yeah but this is just awesome, one thing you missed though is ketchup and mustard ya gotta have ketchup and mustard on your $100 hotdog.
-
That's a real purty truck ya got thar Any thoughts about a logo on the side or something to break up the whiteness? Would look nice in my town but I have too many trucks. Good job
-
That's is totally awesome, you've used those yellow bricks great! I must have to try my own Mod style building sometime but I've got my hands full with a few mocs Excellent

Fundamentals for a good Lego collection?
CptMugwash replied to dwarf-brik's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I've been ordering off bricklink for parts for my steampunk mocs, it's straight forward but be careful not to go overboard as it can be addictive, I go around shops in my country looking for the most and cheapest parts that i 'need' then see what else they have that could be useful, you can build up a collection farely quickly and you get about the same amount of bricks that you would compared to a lego set. I struggle to find decent steampunk parts from TLG sets and ones that do tend to be too expensive so I order from bricklink, it's also quicker and better packed than Pickabrick IMO, I ordered from there for the first time and it took 2-3 weeks before I got my order and then when I did get it, the parts weren't individualy packed like most are on bricklink and Pickabrick is more expensive me thinks especially with postage costs Also beware of some used parts that have a description saying the parts are damaged or discoloured. Bricklink + Abundance of Parts, + Cheaper-ish, - Quality Pickabrick + Abundance of Parts (some of them), + Quality, - Time, - Cost -
Thanks but I don't think I'm a pro ...yet... Here's a few more pics. Grandfather Clock Always wearing his lucky goggles and raggy clothes he is the most wise of all of Steam World, however in his old age he can be quite forgetful. A very early WIP shot of Brickbeards's Airship.

It will certainly save the dissapointment of opening a huge box and tipping out a few small bags

Sign-ups to Mafia School: Escape From Isla Paradisa
CptMugwash replied to Sandy's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
This all sounds very intriguing, I haven't been on the forums long and would be considered a super noob probably as I have no clue how these games work. I've done roleplaying on other forums before if this is anything like that, if someone could please tell me the basics I'd be happy to give it a 'shot' -
I'll definately be maintaining these standards, or try my best anyways, I saw that airship and IMO all airships look the same to me so I'll try and do something different with BB's

[MOC] Exclamation of Mutation
CptMugwash replied to Flare's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
That's really cool, I'm liking the abundance of tan plates and seaweed I'd like to see some small fish swimming maybe being chased by the shark, y'know as a kind of separate little thing going on . The spaceship and atlantis craft are cool and I love the leakage The way you've got the shark in 'mid-water' is genius, spotty dog -
That's really cool, I don't normally comment on starwars MOCs but I do have a soft spot for steampunk good use of the dark orange to go with the Teddy Bear
-
That is one sexy looking fighter although I do think the pilot is compensating for something I did spot the discoloured brick on the other side unless that's just me, actually it might be just dark grey, it does stick out amongst the dark bley though, is that right?

CONTEST: Design a Direct-To-Consumer (D2C) set
CptMugwash replied to Bonaparte's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Sweet, I'm already drawing up ideas Thanks for the contest -
Why is the 7747 Wind Turbine Transport so unpopular...
CptMugwash replied to medib's topic in LEGO Town
I thought this set was great when it came out, finally my Lego City would have some power The truck is just another truck, nothing special there but the escort vehicle I thought was cool. I wouldn't have gotten it if it was more expensive even if it had a PF motor. I've always thought about buying parts off BL to make a few more but dismissed this endeavor as I could spend my monies on something more worthwhile, but overall as a set targetted at the specific audience I thought it was good -
Hi PM, thanks for the comments I think I have enough pieces to start doing BB's airship, I may do 2 versions, one with rotors like a helicopter and the other with a big balloon Thanks for the comments, I always like to include some pearl gold pieces to highlight the brass parts Thanks for the comments guys, cheers.
-
Thanks for the comments I like to try and balance the colours by using a main one (brown) and a 'highlight' (black) plus details without making look 'busy' but still detailed-ish. If you know what I mean...because I don't lol Hi Miss Kyle, thanks for the comment and I'll definately be churning out more
-
Oh wow those are brilliant, thank you so much I'll be adding more as I go along so I'll be needing more names later but that's until I make and upload them Thanks for the help really appreciate it cheers

This is Lego's own construction site from the advert. It's simple but would make a good canvas to start from. This one looks good by JANico, there's quite a bit of action going on. Here's another one with a big impressive feel to it. That's all I could I find for Lego MOCs of construction sites. I will load mine up once I get around to building it
-
Nice skills there, what program did you use? I really like that ice effect, reminds me of Ice Planet
-
I have to say City and Mods are my all time favourite, however I do have soft spots for alot more, Space Police, Castle, Rock Raiders, NinjaGo, Western, Trains, Pirates, Aquaraiders/Atlantis, Ice Planet (just for the Polar Bear ^.^) and others I can't think of atm.

How open are you about your Lego passion?
CptMugwash replied to Fugazi's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I've just really come out over the past few years (I'm 23yo) my local store where I buy Lego from know it's for me but my bro who is 13 collects aswell, mind you I think I'm definately more enthusiastic about Lego then he is. But when I go to other stores they don't normally ask who it's for and TBH it's none of their business, sometimes I get a funny look but it doesn't bother me too much. I do suffer from depression a bit, not so much now but I do have my ups and down days. I don't really have any friends my age up where I live as it's fairly rural and I don't go out much, but I'm quite happy in my Lego world My parents usually say to their friends that me and my bro both collect Lego, and people are usually impressed by our collection, my parents are quite happy for me to collect it but not too happy when I spend alot of money on it. If your parents don't want to buy you Lego anymore maybe you should get a job, even if you hate it it's money at the end of the day that you can buy Lego with I work for my parents in hotel and catering and TBH I really don't like it, but it's in the situation where I can't leave because I'd be dropping my parents in it so I just put on a front and get on with it -
Very nice indeed, to me it looks like a combination of Modular and Classic with the removable rear wall as long as no ones behind it when it opens...splat! Do you think you can squeeze in a toilet of some sorts and/or a kitchen? I always think there can be never too much detail as long as it isn't over crowded Cool mod

The space sets were out in January here in the UK, I've got them already and have to say I was a bit dissapointed with the rocket, it just looks odd , my favourite one is the shuttle IMO
