I keep telling myself it's too expensive and that I don't have the space. But at $65 or $75 . . . Hmm. . .
-
I really like the WWII Cap and motorcycle - that's great. I haven't played around with one of these - is there a way to mount his shield up front?
-
I have that Modok - and this is fun. Nice job.
-
I like it. Good choice on the faces and hairpieces, and I like how you played around with the tan/brown shades. (It's been forever since I watched this, so I don't remember the opening scene, but I'm guessing there's a dead red-shirt around the corner somewhere.)

Ongoing Transformers Rumors and Discussion
Stepwise replied to NoOneOfImportance's topic in LEGO Licensed
Mine is here - building it little by little. I do have a question, though - this board is a little more formal about what types of posts go in each forum than the other one that I hang out on. Is this going to be the thread where people post pictures of what they've built, or will that end up in a separate thread? -
Fun scene, cool techniques - I like the upside-down octagon canopy on the communication tower. Hits all the feel-good nostalgia buttons, too. Nice job.
-
This is a fun series overall. The little telehandler looks like a fun little set all on it's own, too. Nice job.
-
This is amazing - I'm seriously impressed. I'm so out of my depth when it comes to engineering and design on this scale. Is this a case where you have to basically use existing pieces to create your own large-scale hinges and joints?
-
This is cool. Are those custom stickers, or things you painted? (Or just from sets that I haven't noticed and should have?)
-
Me, casually scrolling down the front page for the first time in a few days. Hey that's fun. Cool. Gets to this - "Wow!" Nice job!

Yet another 918/924/928 remake, plus a 6894 and a 6931
Stepwise replied to icm's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I really like what you did with 6931 - my FX Star Patroller was my first 'big' set. I've been thinking about rebuilding and updating mine, and I may borrow an idea or two from what you did here. -
I worked on this starfighter for a while - I started with the instructions for the viper from the Alien Conquest series and used classic space parts I had on hand. Nothing big and fancy, just wanted to see "what would happen if..." I tend to lean towards a color scheme that's based loosely off the FX Star Patroller due to the parts I have on hand. I had *almost* everything I needed, but kept on putting off the last couple of parts . . . then I ran out of space on my shelves, so I made a digital copy and took it apart. So - credit where credit is due - this is the original model, I built this copy in Stud.io, and used Gimp to add a background I found years ago by Baron von Brunk. I have a couple more pictures here.

CS Starfighter (more of a modification/recolor, really)
Stepwise replied to Stepwise's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Thanks! I go back and forth about the shapes for wings - I really wanted the classic look with this one, but I do like it when people pull off a really smooth look with sideways building. I don't have the knack for that yet. -
CS Starfighter (more of a modification/recolor, really)
Stepwise replied to Stepwise's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
It'd be cool to see that cockpit shape again, even if they had it attach differently. I wonder if they could do a similar shape that just fits in place like the speed champions windscreens. I'm saving the stud.io file, but at the moment, I'm not planning to rebuild this one. I have most of the parts, but not everything I need. The other issue is shelf space, and I'm running out! -
Those are fun! Thanks for sharing.
-
These are fun. Unitron could've been really cool, but they quit too early with that series. I like the fold-out weapons in the wings. Do the cockpits detach on these?

CS Starfighter (more of a modification/recolor, really)
Stepwise replied to Stepwise's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I wasn't picturing that when I was working on this, but I see what you're saying. (similar basic shape...but no moving parts on this one.) Thanks! -
This is cool - congrats on completing the full set. This is my favorite era for space sets - Futuron, SP1, M:Tron, and Blacktron, so it's always fun to see pictures like these.
-
This is cool. It's fun to see colors from later space sets, and I like the minifig face, too - I have a scene that I'd love to do sometime with the same expression. The droid is great, too - it's really reminiscent of droids from old sets, with just enough changes in the right spots to update it.
-
NCS hangar bays, etc., tend to be a lot of grey, with an accent color here and there - for some reason, that works better than big blocks of white. Thanks for your feedback - I'll keep it in mind for the next couple of projects I'm working on.
-
Actually - I liked the first head better. I've had something similar in mind with those frown lines on his cheeks. I'm curious as to what we'll see for him once his show hits Disney+.
-
@Duvors - Thank you! Do you think the second one would look good with less black - more of a pin-striping kind of look, instead of big panels?
-
Xavhyr - those are fun. I've started putting together my own AOS crew. The plan is to use the same torso for May, Daisy, Yo-Yo, and Bobbi, but I'll change up the arms for each one - Daisy's are black, Yo-Yo's will be navy blue. Haven't decided for Bobbi yet, but Yo-Yo's will be grey. Still deciding on faces for some of them, though. Also - shotgun axe!
-
These are fun. Still wrapping my brain around FIBRIB, though - Frenzy is blue, Rumble is black?

Post your Star Wars sets remade in iconic space themes
Stepwise replied to ncx's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
A friend of mine had the Deep Freeze Defender when we were growing up. I had no idea how small it was compared to some X-wing models. I hardly have any Star Wars sets, so I don't have a basis for comparison. There are lots of cool sets are available, but at some point, I have to stop going "I want one of those, and one of those, and . . ."
