I tried but all I could find was with a minimum purchase amount of several thousands bulbs. Perhaps I should try harder :) You are right, the LED would be perfect. it's just that I already started using the other types of bulbs in my build. And to avoid several power supply and supply chains I prefer to stick to the same type. As well as the LEDs I found was without cable so I would have to atttach cables and resistors to all of them. Just seemed like a lot of work. But perhaps it is really the way to go after all :)

Hi fellow Lego builders. Since I'm going to Hong Kong next week for holiday I wanted to ask if anybody familiar with the country could point me in the right direction: I need some regular micro lightbulbs 3mm diameter (NOT LED) because they fit into a lego brick and I'm using a lot of those for my current display. Since the regular oldschool light bulbs has been banned to import commercially to EU they are not sold here any longer and I'm looking for great quantity (600-800 bulbs) Is there a electronic store around the city that would sell those? Thank you very much in advance!

Thanks! The plan is another tall mountain that connects to the rock arch with hanging bridges. And then just a gigantic ocean with some big ships in it. (Black Pearl lifted out of the sea by the Kraken) And in the other end of the layout a big white fortress for the red coats The size will be 6x8 baseplates (48x48) so my biggest layout so far

Another island has been added to the layout. I'm yet to build the top part but since it will be a while before I can finish it I thought to share it now. It will be slightly taller and on top will be a wooden tower construction that connects bridges to the lower parts of the big arch in the background. It was a bit of an accident that the campfire got so near to the wall but I see that it has a great effect with reflection of the fire on the wall 🔥 The fish net was meant for the tribe people to dry fishes but I'm really not too sure of the function. Just wanted something there on the side of the stairs.

Thanks! the plan is 6x8 baseplates (48x48) with majority ocean. (I filled 38 cups of the trans light blue tiles in the pab wall ) One end of the layout has the arch and a couple of more tall rocky islands, connected with wooden bridges. And the other end will have a a huge white fortress with a nearby pier and hopefully a town. Although houses was never my strong force. Apart from that will be somewhere between 4-8 large ships. Some in the port some sailing around Following the planning of layout from above there will be a bit smaller ship sailing through underneath the arch. Im thinking about the small boat from the 3-in-1 creator pirate ship that comes with the skull island build. That ship extended in length and the sails from the Ninjago cannibals as Im already using their shields with same logo

Update ☠️

Thanks! It's quite fun seeing it moving forward. Now pretty much just need to finish the sides and the arch is done. Im waiting for a bricklink order and I will cover all studs on the sides. In the meantime Sonic had a run at it.

Haha yes sorry, but when you started bringing badges on the table I thought I better give it everything I have Thanks! Thanks! The Bay area was built in the beginning of the project. Lots of things I would have done differently now. But it still got it's Charm And a 15 minutes long video where I go through the details, while it was still being built https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc8mMx8n7TE&feature=youtu.be

Haha sounds good! Just bring it on

That would great and a big honour! Just let me know 🏴‍☠️ Thanks, much appreciated! Thanks! I had two goals: big and detailed. And just let it free flow from there ☠️ Thanks! I had the treehouse set and lots of leftover brown plates. So I collected some of the bricks used on the inside of the trunk. Then essentially build two treehouse sets on top of each other. Got pirate style interior in the huts too 🖤

I'm in university and it all went online doing pandemic. Might have prioritized building a bit too much though lol. So I was just listening over zoom while building for all this time. plus whatever time I could spare.

So early 2020 I started building this monster and it took 16 month of working pretty much 8 hours a day on it. Approximately 150.000 bricks used. its 3x4 baseplates (48x48) and tallest tower is a bit more than 1,5meter The idea was to make a pirate island with a fortress. But the fortress really grew out of hand. And the style also got a bit mixed up with castle and medival. It was my first real attempt to make a castle and I suddenly learned a lot along the way. The tall tower is based on the structure of the black smith set but I build it very tall. Any questions about specific parts or tecniques be free to ask! The caves, which is my favorite part is held up by those old 20x10 bricks. That way they can have a great span and still carry a mountain on top Some of the pictures are taken in a bit disturbing format but hope you will enjoy anyway, here goes:

I will make sure to bring the updates for sure! Suddenly nice to read peoples comments on here! Really great with a community that can appreciate the fun of building Lego There will be a Kraken in the water. And it will lift out the Black Pearl with the tentecles. So I'm gonna build a new Black Pearl with a rounded hull that would normally be below the waterline, but because it's liftet out I will get the below part visible too. So that should really be something

Great honour! Thank you very much!

Thanks! I did not yet open the big bags in the storage yet as I bought 5000 of each of the different types of slopes 🙈 But yes it's very part consuming also for plates and regular bricks in dark bluish gray. And then comes the fillers that I buy secondhand by weight 😋
