Looks fantastic. If there are any pieces you are missing still that you want to replace PM me. I've got a couple boxes of random pieces, with a good dose of Classic Space, that I could dig through, specifically I should have at least on of the 2x4 grey hinge pieces, though I will have to check the condition.

The Unofficial LEGO Collectors Guide RAFFLE
travisco_nabisco replied to Fugazi's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Hmmm, one set. Think I will have to go for the Imperial Trading Post 6277-1. -
I wish I could make that much of a mess when I sort, it would get done a lot faster. Having a 15 month year old running around the relatively small house doesn't allow for that. I am stuck pulling out smaller bins in the evenings and having to put everything away before I head to bed.

I will echo what others have said, get GE simply because it will be discontinued first. Currently I only have GG and GE, I found the GE was a fantastic build for the ground floor, the escalators and the roof/chandelier. The two upper levels are very repetitive to build. I just ordered PS, should be here in a week, after I build that I'll probably be back just to post how I think it compared to GE.

Resources for micro scale cities
travisco_nabisco replied to travisco_nabisco's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Apparently I should have done some more hunting before deciding on what I wanted to try. I was going to do the Brandenburg Gate, however I just realized that that is one of the landmarks that Lego has already done. Time to hunt for a new building. -
Resources for micro scale cities
travisco_nabisco replied to travisco_nabisco's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Thanks for the recommendations. One of the micro scale projects I hope to do is for the Architecture contest, it is good to see that no one has attempted the structure I want to use for an entry. -
I am thinking of doing some work with microscale cities and was wondering if there are any good resources for this? I suspect my best bet will be looking at work others have done to get ideas and then just playing with the bricks and figuring out what looks good.

Thanks, I didn't think I had seen that torso before. This raises a dilemma though, the Car and Caravan was a most likely skip set, but the torso is way to expensive on BrickLink. I guess I will just have to wait for a TRU sale.
-
The design is incredible for how narrow it is. Also, which set does the Jill torso come in, I'm always looking for more female torsos to balance the mostly male minifig population?

Just broke down and ordered the Pet Shop to take advantage of the free shipping and double VIP points. As a goal for myself though, I have to enter at least one of the current EB contests before I am allowed to build it.

Eurobricks Collectable LEGO Minifigures Series 6 Building Contest
travisco_nabisco replied to WhiteFang's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I need to be sure to enter this time. I had a great idea for the Series 5 contest but never took the time to build it, maybe I'll start with my series 5 idea to get inspiration for something to do with a Series 6 minifig. -
An epoxy should work well since they are both a plastic of sorts. Once I get my first set of drawers populated with pieces I am going to print a color sticker for on each drawer to show what type, and colours of pieces are in each drawer, that way I don't have to remember and it doesn't matter if the plastic clouds over time.
-
I looks like they are including a newly designed brick puller with the set. The last photo shows it off to the right of the building. That is an interesting decision, but will likely be very appreciated when you have to take the building apart or modify it.

1. Male 2. 28 3. Around 10 or so, first official set I remember getting either 6425 or 62263 4. Past - Blacktron II Present - Modular Buildings - I love the detailing 5. It is a good creative outlet that doesn't involve sitting in front of a screen and uses fine motor skills.

I am so happy there is finally going to be a Lego store in Vancouver. It is probably a good thing I live on the Island though, otherwise I would be at the Lego store way more than I should be.
