I just found this video detailing a very, um, unorthodox use for minifig heads. It was published a couple of years ago, so some of you may have already seen it. The whole time I was yelling "It's called a minifigure!" at the screen!

This is a little MOC spaceship I put together after finding some sand blue elements while organizing my old parts. Not too much to it, but it was a fun little build! Some shots of the ship in flight: IMG_0675 by the chestertonian, on Flickr IMG_0676 by the chestertonian, on Flickr IMG_0677 by the chestertonian, on Flickr IMG_0678 by the chestertonian, on Flickr Landed on an ice planet: IMG_0682 by the chestertonian, on Flickr IMG_0683 by the chestertonian, on Flickr And finally, taking off: IMG_0684 by the chestertonian, on Flickr Thanks for looking! Soli Deo Gloria

[MOD] German shunter locomtive MaK 600458
Pdaitabird replied to NeoSephiroth's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Nice engines! If it weren't for the blue background on the renders, I wouldn't be able to tell where the real prototypes end and the models begin! -
There was a set from 2002 called Tusken Raider Encounter that was based on a scene from AOTC where Anakin slaughters an entire village of Tuskens. Not the most kid-friendly subject.

Piecing togeather a space suit for my personal minifig character.
Pdaitabird replied to Elana-chan's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
You could take the arms out and reverse them so that the air tank would cover up the zipper. But don't let the ultra-purists find out... -
The Future of Lego Space. (opinions, ideas, discussion)
Pdaitabird replied to Trekkie99's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
One thing I like about the colored canopies of older space themes is that it looks like the glass is coated with some sort of barrier to protect against cosmic radiation (the lack of such futuristic coatings being why real spacecraft don't have big windows). I always considered the yellow canopies of CS ships to represent a protective measure. -
This looks fantastic! My first impression on seeing the render was "space yacht," so you've certainly captured the look of a luxury vessel. It sounds like it has some nice play features, and the angled wondows allow for good visibility inside. One thing I might recommend is some sort of ventral protrusion to balance out the dorsal cockpit. It might help to make it look like the engines' thrust vector passes through the ship's center of mass. She's a fine looking ship and I can't wait to see more pictures!

Welcome to Eurobricks! That is a lovely MOC. The best way to add pictures is to deeplink from Flickr. This tutorial will show you how. The 0.1 MB is just for your profile picture.

Risk of Lego picking up smell from a new plastic container?
Pdaitabird replied to danielwerner's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I recently unpacked my bricks that had been stored in similar plastic containers (without bags) for about 13 years. There was a slight smell when I opened them, but it went away within a few days and did not affect the contents. -
This looks like a good idea! Might I suggest using spoiler tags for all posts in this topic for a while, so that people who browse the "All Activity" page won't see anything? (That's how I found this topic.)

LEGO Star Wars 2019 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Pdaitabird replied to Stash2Sixx's topic in LEGO Star Wars
That's probably true, and it's a pity. Slave 1 certainly gets more screen time and shows off its firepower in AOTC. I think the dogfight between Jango and Obi-Wan is the best part of the worst film. I wonder if it will be possible to mod Jango's from the new version if parts exist in the right colors. -
Maybe they should just forget about these newfangled "automatic binding bricks" altogether and go back to making wooden ducks.

You might say that monorail fans have a "one-track" mind! Sorry - I just had to.
-
Nice parts use with those wheels!
-
Nice SNOT technique on the nose of that f-unit!

You can download Studio here. I didn't find it too hard to adapt from LDD.
-
Lovely engine! The locomotive, tender, and coach all put the EN to shame by comparison. Have you tried Studio? It's fairly easy to import LDD files, and even third-party parts like BBB wheels. Plus the parts list is kept up-to-date.

I bet it includes the garbage that they dump out of the star destroyer in ESB. -

He's back! And with another fantastic locomotive! -
[J8 - Dorin - CFS] The C.F.S. Avarice over the gases of Dorin
Pdaitabird replied to goatman461's topic in Factions Archive
Neat concept of a large vessel with multiple cultures aboard - almost like a CIS Babylon-5! The mini fighter is also nice. -
[How to:] Fix frayed wire on Lego 9v track connector
Pdaitabird replied to Unfinished_Projects's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Thanks for posting this! I just unpacked my old 9v gear, and it's starting to get frayed, so I'll have to do this eventually. -
M-Tron, BlackTron, Ice Planet, Space Police - 1990s - this was the best era of Lego Space

Answer: Stargate. -
Wow! I'm not really a fan of mechs in general, but this is impressive!

Ideas for freight locomotive to complement 4559
Pdaitabird replied to Elana-chan's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Among all the historical and present-day locomotives, there are a few futuristic looking engines in the Eurobricks Train MOC index here. May not be what you're looking for, but it might help. -
Which system do you use? The answer may be different depending on whether you run 12v, 9v, PF, PU, etc.
