So I'm registered and paid for as far as the con goes, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in splitting the cost of a room with me? I would just get my own room, but that place is expensive for a 19 year old guy :( Anyway, I was planning on just checking in the 14th or 15th, and out on the 19th or 20th. I know some of you might be wary of rooming with a stranger, but please don't let that stop you!

Launch Model Rocket Using This XL Rocket Launcher?

While reading this topic, I can't help but think you could (if you have the parts) mod CP5670's annihilator to work. -

More Range of Suspension Movement w/These Parts?
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to DLuders's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I haven't done much work with them personally, but they are so tight fitting that I imagine they can only work in VERY large scale models. The only ones I've ever seen are some of nicjasno's cars. -
Mistakes when Building
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Dennis's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've never had any major functional problems when building, but being slightly colorblind already, I hate trying to tell DBG apart from black. -

i think the key to building large wheels is click hinges -
Little Devil
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Jurgen Krooshoop's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
that's awesome, dude! I wish I had the parts to build my own. One question: what program did you use to make the animation of the drivetrain? -

Hey, if anybody from central MN is going and would be willing to carpool please PM me. I am a student and would love to go down but don't have a car I can pitch in for gas if I can find a ride. Thanks! -
What Lego Technic Gift Did YOU Get for the Holidays?
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to DLuders's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Because I'm going to college next fall, my parents don't think I need any more LEGO and I should grow up And the worst part is: because I'm going to college next fall, I have no money to spend on LEGO. I guess I'll have to wait to get more LEGO for about 4 years -
You're 15 and convince your parents and 9 siblings to take 3 weeks and drive from MN to LEGOland California. You stay up till 2 am to finish a MOC

Here's one of my more recent MOCs: Luke's X-34 landspeeder in Ep. IV I built it after persuading my brother to take his 10124 Wright Flyer off the shelf If anyone wants to comment or give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism please go ahead. Brickshelf folder when public

one question i haven't seen anyone else ask: why the heck does R2 have a gray dome ?!? I know in the movies it was silver but this just doesn't work for me. It's been white since 1999 - why change it now?

I pronounce them mock and a fall. My mom, on the other hand, doesn't play with LEGO; her answer was 'a fool' lol

Fascinating...
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Freddie's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Reminds me of the old black cat truck -
Here's my latest project - 2:1 scale duplo vehicles. Normally I'm a TECHNIC guy, but I was playing with my little brothers a few days ago and had this idea. I looked it up on BS and Flickr and couldn't find anything similar, so I figured I'd try it. This was the first one I built. The one thing it needs is either some SNOT or a decal with the 'ZOO' thing on the side. This is just a variation on the truck and the chassis is identical. The only problem I saw on all of these is that LEGO doesn't make any parts that would work very good for the hollow Duplo studs, this was the closest I could get. Well, most of this turned out pretty good. Except for the hitch. I'll say it myself: that thing is hideous! I wanted to make some sort of thing that would hook onto the hitches on the cars and this was the best I could do. Overall I'm pretty happy with these MOCs. If anyone has a better idea for the hitch reciever, let me know! Thanks for looking, and May the Force be with you.

Black NXT Tank
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to KimT's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
did you notice in the credits at the end he had not one but two people credited as "sphere chasing"? lol -
Thanks for the responses guys! I meant to use those parts in the LDraw model, but I don't have them in the real one I built before putting it into LDraw, and I just forgot to fix it. The only thing with using SNOT is that I'm not very good at it and the walls at that point are only one stud thick. I actually have a few of these because a) I played with them when I was little, and b) I have 5 little brothers that still do play with them

I actually heard about it awhile ago when Hinkley was interviewed on LAML. I lurked for a few months and then joined.

Model team return petition
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Buttons's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I had the misfortune of not being old enough for Model Team when it was around and I don't exactly have the money to buy them on BL or ebay however, I have seen the sets and I would love to see the theme return - especially if we get big 1:13 models. I love those old foam tires that were actually proportioned right! -
How many Technic tread links is too many?
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Blakbird's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

LAMLradio - the Steve Witt interview
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to CopMike's topic in General LEGO Discussion
You'd have my support! I don't live close enough to a LUG to join, so I've been looking for an online LUG I could join. Sounds like a good idea. -
LEGO hydraulics
Ras_Al_Ghul posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am working on a bulldozer MOC, and I am wondering: does anyone know of a place where I can get some hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders that will work with LEGO for a reasonable price? BTW I've had other people that I should just use two official LEGO cylinders end-to-end, and there is no possible way that will work - it's a 1:7 scale model. Yes, I am seriously building a 5-foot long working dozer. Thanks for any ideas. Ras_Al_Ghul -
LEGO hydraulics
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Ras_Al_Ghul's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would like it to be 8 studs across, and the outer shell about 40 studs long or so. I want the inner part to move as much as possible. Got any ideas? -
Don't try this at home
Ras_Al_Ghul replied to Buttons's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I made the mistake of putting a axle joiner in a 4 x 6 technic brick and pushing 2 stud axles in it. I ended up cutting the joiner with a hack saw to get it out.
