    Transformer: Tracks

    Sweet LEGO Tracks...as a diehard Transformers fan above all else, you did a great take of the Alternator/Binaltech Tracks. However if I could make a suggestion, to complete the look maybe somehow see if you could work in the flame on the hood?

    The Gate of Kaer Morhen - CCC VIII Prepare to war category

    Nice MOC, however as a gamer when I saw the name I first thought of the Witcher's stronghold from The Witcher pc game.

    Moc - Empire State Building

    Excellent MOC, IMO we need more MOC High-Rises and Skyscrapers on here! I mean, you can't really have a city without them.

    Republic-AAC

    It's a good MOC, however it doesn't look anything like the Alliance AAC I know and use quite often in SWBF II. It seems too long and the turret design isn't very accurate. This is just my opinion and it's based on the renderings of the tank from the SWBF II game.

    Real Water in Your City

    Interesting topic. When I was a kid I remember building a town layout around a rubbermade tub I had filled with water for the floating boats. That was back in the late 80's to early 90's, haven't tried anything like that since as I don't really have the room to do it. But I always thought real water can add realism to a city layout, especially with any waterfront.

    MOC: Train Station

    Excellent MOC you've built here Teddy! This train station is very well built, one of the better ones I've seen with tons of detail both in the interior and on the exterior. Only thing to complete the MOC, maybe a pic with a train at the station would be neet for comparison. Great job on a great MOC!

    REVIEW: 6335 Indy Car Transporter

    Ah the memories, this is one of my favorite City sets of all time and was the perfect set for display. I miss the classic race sets and hope LEGO will bring the style back to the City theme, not to keen on the Ferrari sets we've had lately. Great review legofan!

    My last hurrah, Modular City MOCs & WIPs

    WIP is short for Work In Progress

    My last hurrah, Modular City MOCs & WIPs

    Thanks for the compliments!!! I Hope to one day resume my dream of building a LEGO City when my finances improve, in the mean time maybe I can round up some pieces to build something for the Community Build. I have a few ideas I had hoped to include in my city that I've never seen done in any LEGO layout, including some reality based buildings that I wanted for an entertainment district, like a Gentleman's Club, Adult Novelty Store, or Casino. Also had thought about a Comic Shop or Country Club/Golf Course. I'm throwing the ideas out there in case anyone else wants to take the idea and run with it.

    My last hurrah, Modular City MOCs & WIPs

    B-OM-7A I recently found myself unemployed and having to give up on my plans for building a modular city block, but I wanted to share my MOCs & WIPs with you guys. Unfortunately I've had to start selling a good bit of my collection on bricklink to make ends meet. My MOC/MOD of the Cafe Corner into a 6 story hotel was complete with the 2nd and 6th floors being of my own design and a ton of modding the rest. I was also working on a modular bank building (in light bluish gray) and a modular florist/nursery (in medium blue, dark blue, and tan). Front (Hotel in the center, bank on the left and florist on the right): Rear: Florist/nursery front: Florist/nursery rear w/ greenhouse: The florist building was coming along quite nice, the greenhouse had a detailed interior with plants, flowers, drains, and a hose. Most of the parts for the creation were from the Market Street set, I was bummed when I had to take it apart to complete the Market Street set to list on bricklink. Oh well, I hope to one day pick up building again when I'm in better financial standing, but for now I'm forced to take a break. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

    UCS discussion

    I'm 29, yes I build lego but don't really "play" with them. I build to display a cool collectible so that's why my standards for UCS are set higher, heck I don't even "play" with my transformers anymore. I set them in a pose on a shelf and that's that. Besides, if I want to collect mini-figure playsets, there's this company called Hasbro that makes some awesome 3 1/2" figures, cool vehicles and playsets.

    UCS discussion

    Those are my thoughts exactly, good job on the list ...ashame I didn't think of it first.

    UCS discussion

    To be consider a true UCS set for me, it has to be an ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S model that the mini-figure scale sets just don't offer. Tons of detail on the exterior, doesn't need a fancy interior with play features, focuses on being built to display, and most important comes with the tell-tale UCS plague. With that said, I don't consider the Death Star playset or the Sandcrawler true UCS sets, even though they are pricey they still have playset features that are geared towards kids.

    MOC: Mindcorp Building

    Nice MOC, you certainly have a way with bricks. Your Crusader Fort of Herenbosch is one of the best castle MOCs I've seen. Do you plan to add on to this flatiron style building? IMHO, a city streetscape with more buildings around it would enhance the appeal and detail of this great creation. Keep up the good work.

    MOC: Train Passenger car

    Cool MOC, it's definitely a start in the right direction. I especially like the baggage compartments/luggage rack, that's a nice touch.
