Are there any other Linux users (Debian/Ubuntu, specifically) who have successfully installed/run LDD in Wine? I try to install it, but I get an error about Adobe Flash player, even though I've installed Flash Player in Wine.

Nice story, great photography! Lol. I worked with a number of German-speakers for a few years, and with the just the smattering I picked up I can sound out your phrase and understand. :)

Google around for it. Try Amazon. As I'm in the US I can't supply you a link that will guaranteed work in the Netherlands.

The most complex of all LEGO Idea Books...
cortman replied to LEGO Historian's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I just bought the newest LEGO Idea book, and I love it- really inspiring. -
Have you looked at the Castle Chess set? It comes with 28 minifigs, all with accessories, for (here in the US) $50 USD. I recently bought one for army building myself. Plus (if you're really not interested in a chess set at all) it comes with a large green baseplate as well.

Very cool, I really like the driver's coat- where's that from?

Welcome! That rediscovery feeling is amazing! I'm about half a year into my rediscovery of LEGO myself, and I'm loving every bit of it.

Super job, we need more ship MOCs around. The only thing I'd do different is that it appears to be flush-decked, whereas a frigate of the 24 gun class would have at least had a quarterdeck and fo'c'sle, if not a poop deck as well. Altogether though it's a great MOC!

Was at the LEGO store in Overland Park, KS yesterday. First time I was ever at a Lego store and it was pretty exciting! I got 2 PAB cups, with a bunch of brown 2x4's and gray slopes, among other parts. That was pretty fun- just filling up a cup with handfuls of parts. :) I also got 4 Series 9 CMFs- and got 2 policemen , Mr Good-and-Evil, and the Roller Derby girl (another , but oh well). I also got the Castle Chess set, mainly for the minifigures. For castle army building you can't hardly beat it- 28 minifigs w/ accessories!

Or brown, to get a wood look. I really like this MOC!

Nice, but the shield should be blue with a silver/white tree... just FTR.
-
Great design on the wall itself. I really like the arches.

79010 Goblin King Battle mod - components connected with hinges!
cortman replied to SheepEater's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Very nice mod- looks way better than the original. -
If you're anything like me my interests come and go, but always stick around. I'll work at a hobby and enjoy it for maybe a year or so, then take a break (lose interest) and focus on another for a while. Then after a bit I'll be back at the first one. I always have variety, and since I'm always interested in the same 3-4 hobbies, it isn't like any of them is a waste. I'll always return to them at some point. Take a break. Try something else.

The Simpsons LEGO? Yuck. I sure hope not...

Lego spill temporarily closes Interstate 79!
cortman replied to eurotrash's topic in General LEGO Discussion
's/dumb/not very intelligent, judging by the idea and the subsequent FB post.../' But hey. Bad stuff happens. Not sure what I would have thought if I'd been driving down 79 right then. :) -
I've often found it's best to direct people to information, rather than just say it (that way they get the source, not tainted with *my* opinion). No offense meant.

Thanks a lot for the comments, all! I'm trying to come up with an idea for my next castle MOC now... don't have enough bricks to make an actual castle though.

My first castle MOC- the Robbers' Cave. I bought the two old Dark Forest men from Bricklink specially for it. Please bear with the poor photography... still learning! :) Comments and advice are welcome!

LDD in Linux (Wine)
cortman replied to cortman's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Well, thanks for the reply- I don't like to do much as root, but it may make a difference- I'll try it. -
Thank you! :)

Where does the white robe torso you use come from? I'm looking for a few for a Roman/Greek MOC of my own.
