Nice work, I like it. But I think the hull looks too tall, at least compared to the length of the ship, I feel the hull should have been longer to look accurate with the height.

Who's Your Favorite Film Composer and/or Score?
N-4K0 replied to Digger of Bricks's topic in Culture & Multimedia
I have to say John Williams and his Star Wars compositions. I especially like some of his most recent work in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. -
Second viewing of Star Wars: The Last Jedi tonight.

I still have my Silent Mary displayed. I disassembled the collapsed main mast and made the base of it below the "break" a bit higher and more visible. The bowsprit also lacks the mast and sail since I needed some sails to compare sizes on the masts of a Technic ship I've had in the building stage for a long time. I bought the movie on Google Play the other day and rewatching it, I really think the movie version looks good in a fear-inducing way as the torn, wretched hull it is. Add to that the sounds of the torn wood cracking and bending in particular scenes and this is a ship I wouldn't like to meet at sea.

Great looking little castle, pantelis!

Impossible LEGO
N-4K0 replied to Boxerlego's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I find that there's enough slack in the pieces in such assemblies to gradually get the axle far enough out to get my nails or a knife blade under the stop edge to pull it out. As long as it's an axle with stop, that is. -
Technic 2018 Set Discussion
N-4K0 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
If the Mack is part of the 1H18 sets, I doubt it would be revealed as early as this month. That would basically be an invitation for Lepin and the like to start ripping off the design early. -
[MOC] Ocean Racer

Interesting and funny concept. I'll be following the project for sure -
I've been watching Minecraft videos on YouTube for 5-6 years and in June finally started playing the game myself. Endermen intrigues me because I find teleportation an interesting ability, and I really like the combination of black and purple/violet, so I chose the Enderman face when I switched profile pic recently.

Boba Fett could work well as part of a movie centered around bounty hunters on dangerous missions or something like that, if they made a movie about the underworld in the tar Wars universe, but as a stand-alone, eh, I dunno. I'm still on the fence about Han Solo although I think it could work well if done right.

Technic 2018 Set Discussion
N-4K0 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The design looks quite unfinished, but I don't think 42070 is that bad, at least it's a decent parts pack. Though, if all you can say about the flagship of the year is that it's a nice parts pack, it's kinda sad, but at least it has that -
Technic 2017 Set Discussion
N-4K0 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The current year's topic is unpinned and doesn't stay on top of the first page, but it isn't deleted if that's what you mean. The topic remains in the Technic section, although not on top. -
[REVIEW] 42070 - 6x6 All Terrain Tow Truck
N-4K0 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
After having built this set I can't but agree that despite whatever positive sides it has, the negative ones by far outweigh them, like the incomplete (or poor if you like) bodywork, open bed area at the back, seemingly frail crane and what not. I don't mind the Dark Azure color, it's alright although I think it's a bit too close to regular Blue to really justify bringing it into Technic, especially when there's already medium Blue and Medium Azure which both are incomplete when it comes to the range of parts available. As a parts pack I think it's alright if you find it at a discount, but I can't give it more than an average rating. As a side note, I found myself last night fiddling with building a handle for the remote, lol. -
Technic Pub
N-4K0 replied to jantjeuh's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Nice pics Jim, the living room-looking cave is awesome! I don't know if there's been any updates on this forum lately, but recently the forum has started asking "are you sure" whenever I click "Mark forum as read". Does anyone know how I can deactivate this asking thing? It's annoying having to confirm every time I want to mark a forum as read. -
Your Best Technic Bargains
N-4K0 replied to Kumbbl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I tried out lekekassen.no (Norwegian site) last week. All the Lego sets and categories on this site that I looked at, appears to be below the MSRP. I didn't see any "sale" tags anywhere, so this appears to be standard. In my case, I bought 42070 and 42063 and they were priced 25% and 29% below the S@H prices. These are at least my best bargains yet. -
General Part Discussion
N-4K0 replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
As far as I recall, many people who bought 42009 had an issue with the 32L axles being bent to some degree due to being loose in the box. Are you sure this is not the reason why your cut axle has issues turning inside pin holes? -
[REVIEW] 42070 - 6x6 All Terrain Tow Truck
N-4K0 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I ordered this set last week along with the BMW bike and received it yesterday. I built the BMW bike last night and might start with this set tonight. As usual I enjoy having the large box nearby, lol. -
That is true, the best reference would seem to be what we can see of it when Krennic's shuttle comes flying in and any potential fan art based on what people have been able to see in that scene, but accurate or not, it's not impossible to make a decent MOC of it.

I didn't see it mentioned, but Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar from Rogue One could be a cool build.

Technic 2017 Set Discussion

Now that you mention it, I've seen this web address name before, but I mostly forget about it soon after I see it. I've never used them, but I'll go check them out. Thanks. -
Technic 2017 Set Discussion
N-4K0 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The new sets are only available from S@H for me at the moment. Prices are about what I'd expect for 42068 and 69, but 70 is insane - 2599 NOK, roughly 280 Euro / $330. Not intending to complain though, as I'm not sure if I'll get any of them. -
It's indeed quite accurate. Man, whatever happened to Snoke, he's one messed up individual.
