    Presenting my current WIP: HMS Victory

    Does at least anybody know if Mr. Teddy still is among the living and the Project, on Principle, going on, or has he disappeared or dumped the Project?

  4. Hi! I tried to open a "normal" LDD File in the extended mode to add some cool other bricks, but when I try to load it, it always opens it in the "normal" mode. Anything I am doing wrong? Harlowe

    I HATE you!

    As I said, I hate you. Just when a Project is coming along fine, some other Bloke has to post his MOC, that is much better, which forces pitty me to completely rework my Project. Can't you just build crappy Ships? Ships that do not cause me to literally rework 90% of my Ship to include such things like curving Decks and such? I hate you all....for being so great :pir-sweet: Sincerely, Harlowe... *now removing all the Decks from the Ship*

    Building Masts and Spars, Help needed

    Hello! If one wants to avoif using the Lego-Masts, there seem to be few Options left. Mainly the round 2*2 and 1*1 Bricks. To stabilize Masts and Spars from those Bricks, one can insert Technic-Rods or Lightsabers. However, as the Technikrods and Lightsabers are limited in Length, the Masts still can get very fragile. So I wonder if it would be considered cheating to aplly some glue, or if there are other Ways to build Spars and Masts more stable. Also, I wonder of there is any Brick available to make round Spars that are intermediate in Diameter, between the 1*1 and 2*2 round. Regards, Harlowe

    I'd redo the Shrouds a bit. The usually always go to the rear, as they are supposed to keep the Masts from being flippep forward by the Wind.

    Building Masts and Spars, Help needed

    Well, Sir, I think an intermediate Size would be very nice to have. Considering the diffrent Parts of the Masts and Spars to be of diffrent sizes, and usually the individual Masts also diffrent, I'd prefer to have 3 Options rather than two. I think minifig-Heads are about correct for the size, but may look quite ribbed when stacked. And I wonder if the are available in tan or brown. Harlowe

    Building Masts and Spars, Help needed

    Thank you. the First mentioned Bricks are the 2*2 round I was referring to. But the Idea with the Wire is brilliant. The second pieces look great, but I suspect them to be exactly 1*1. Still they look way better than a stack of 1*1s. Still looking for an intermidieat sized option. :( I will have to build the mast quite stable, as the should ha a miniscule tilt to the rear, fixex in their Positions by the Rigging. Harlowe
  15. Hi! I'd be interested, if there is a Way to communicate Suggestions to the developers of LDD.....eversince my first LDD-MOC I longed for an Option to stroll along my Creation with a Minifig in First-Person.... Harlowe

    Listing the Bricks from LDD file?

    Ahh...so there is a Way, that does not require a Decade of Brick-Counting? GREAT, Thank you

    Listing the Bricks from LDD file?

    Hello! My Tavern/Manor Project is pausing and waiting for inspiration, whilst I tackled (almost a year since I last worked on it) my Ship again. I am overcoming Obstacles and making good progress...However, I wonder if there is a way to find out which bricks in what Colour and Amount I need. Many vital Bricks are no longer available via Lego, and Lego seems expensive anyway, via LDD. So I would need a Programm or ability to have a partslist assembled. Also, is there a way to get the instructions somewhat less laggy? The Ships Hull is nearing 8.000 Pieces, and I havent even Started with the Rigging. Harlowe.

    Making the List seems the most complicated part of it... :(

    Listing the Bricks from LDD file?

    Hi Basically I am building a Ship in LDD and would love to build it for real when its completed. But Then I will have to buy the Bricks, and there is no Way im counting and sorting 8.000+ Bricks manually... As for the istructions, well, LDD comes with an Instruction Generator, but appearently it cant stand my Ship :P

    1700s Tavern

    Hello! I am putting up my WIP MOC for a 1700s Public House ("Pub") in LDD. I am willing to test out a few things on this, and, if it works out neatly, possibly build it for real. As this is my First really serious Attempts at MOCs, I apreciate Suggestions etc. The Idea is a small rectangular tavern on a Street Corner, somewhere in England in the 1700s. Basically a Cellar from natural Rock, topped with a two-stories Building of Wattle and Daub, Limestone or another cheap Material. The Two Facades facing the Streets however, are neat Brickwork. The Building should show some Rebuilding, e.g. An added Kitchen to allow for the whole Ground Floor to be open for Public, some more simple Rooms to rent, etc. The Idea is to have a realistic looking, neatly kept Inn or Pub, that still shows it's been around a few Years. Ermm...can't I upload Pictures? Harlowe

    Need Advice

    Hello! I'd apreciate any Advice, how I can get sections if Surfyce of a Sphere as smooth as possible with LEGO. And, is there a Way to have metallic Silver Surface at the same time? Harlowe [Edit] The Radius would be rather big, if not huge.
