I think for the water, if you’re going for a mountain river, transclear studded plates may be your way to go. It’ll provide depth but bring the colour closer to natural. This pic was work in progress from a Durango and Silverton layout I did a couple of years ago.

FABUpunk! Mafia II–Conclusion, The Spanish Inquisition
Chromeknight replied to Hinckley's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Meh, someone has to die. And I was an easy lynch, But I was saddened to see no one (besides BulldogDanny) doing any proper voting analysis. -

Branch line station from a well known franchise
Chromeknight replied to Chromeknight's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Thanks for the offer. All the minifig scale stuff, such as luggage, plants and figs is yet to go on. as for the rest, some of what you’re talking about are conscious aesthetic choices, aiming to simplify and smooth the building. I’m an 80s LEGO kinda guy. And since it’s a small layout with a kid/toy theme I’d like the viewers to look at it and go ‘I could do that (given right coloured pieces)’. There’s a place for ‘how did you do that?’ builds, but I’m not aiming for that here. That said, I did note the big blank wall in the middle which needs.. something, and throwing some profile bricks into corners isn’t a bad idea either. What isn’t apparent from the single picture is the station is a single solid unit with no interior, it sits on tiles and a handful of studs, but comes off easily for transport. I can hold it upside down and shake it a bit without worrying about pieces falling off. -

Yes, but my version doesn’t have the grey face or the number 1. -
I’m working on a tiny layout, 128 studs by 96. Featuring small wheel base British steam engines (I’ve previously shown my green one). Here is the station for the layout. more to come, stay tuned. https://flic.kr/p/2iv72SH

Sorry, I realise my reply came across as harsh. LEGO is a kids toy company. They want to make their products as simple and playable as possible. Making mums and dads find and buy a seperate pack to motorise a train is neither simple nor good play value. A train box with everything needed in it is what parents want.

Some simple thought would show why that’s not going to happen and why, if it did, it would be a bad thing.

Thack Desteck—Conclusion: Zandder Earns a yeet
Chromeknight replied to Hinckley's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
As Hinkley mentioned I wasn’t a fan of the no PMs I’ve been trying to think why that is. For me it breaks down in two parts. First, as someone in an uncommon timezone, stuff often happens while I sleep or work. This means if I post in thread, there can be a long delay before I am responded to, it at all. With PMs included the flow is better, I’m able to back and forth with individuals over specific points rather than only relying on people being around at convenient times to reply in thread. Secondly, it’s another criteria to judge activity. If someone is replying to me lots, but not posting in thread, that’s quite different to someone posting in thread but ignoring my PM. Thirdly, people say stuff in PM that they’d never say in thread. That stuff is gold and it would slow the game to lose it. -

Because I didn’t know Araveea was the investigator (and I wasn’t going to ask straight out) I was concerned that she might have been an investigated traitor who had them been told Coralaaze was scum and was reticent in publishing that info. Admittedly that was very unlikely, but it did mean I didn’t trust her. If I had, the arguments against Zander on the day I was lynched would have been stronger. -

I did say that. I was frustrated there was a non grogon result on me out there and I was still getting votes. Although in hindsight you probably woulda voted for me anyway since you were the other player against the wall. -

Gratz everyone! Apologies to day 5 players. If I hadn’t imploded it might have been a quicker game!
