DMC-12 Back to the Future

Wow - this is great! -
Wow, that's a very funny story and very detailed cool build!

Yes, very strange behavior but sure can't affect private prints, right? If you're printing all names of wedding guests on minifigures it should be allowed, right? Meanwhile LEGO do allow printing your own text on minifigures in the future if you're bying them from LEGO directly: Minifigure Factory

Hi, I'm trying to get my LEGO account syncronized with the Super Mario app for several weeks now. No luck. Just getting the synchronizing indicator ( 3 white cycling dots ) forerver. I even tried several devices (android and ios) and created a new test account. Do you see your collected coins in your LEGO account in the app?

Nexo Knights Merlok 2.0 games app running 2020?
gerkenz replied to Mornicala's topic in LEGO Media and Gaming
Hi, i just tried the app on IOS and have "of course" the same issue. It's just the problem all old apps with online features have. They only live for a certain time. LEGO apps die after the theme is closed. It is only a matter of time. I assume they just shut down the corresponding Nexo Knight Server where you authenticate yourself on starting the app new. So everyone who have a working save state may be lucky. I assume the same will occure after Hidden Side will disapear in a few years to that app, too. -
Lego Is Finally Introducing Audio and Braille Building Instructions for the Visually Impaired
gerkenz replied to M2m's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
That's awesome. I had a look at the different possibilities LEGO provides for the blind with this project based on Matthew Shifrin work. I'm going to build a mentioned set as a sighted person without peeking. I wonder if it's ok to publish the braille instrunctions if I translate it to German? -

1H2017 Technic video reviews by Sariel
gerkenz replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, I just build mine. It is an easy build and it is really fun to drive! I recommend to get it for your kids or yourself. 79€ for a very cool track vehicle with PF is very nice. Now it's time to add the S-Brick.... Edit: It seemed to be the V1 ir receiver, no V2 print. -
One MOC a year....yes that could be improved I've finished my MOC for Skaerbaek, DK Fanweekend 2014 this year: HAL 9000 computer from the motion picture 2001 - A Space Odysse in real size 1:1. I've added the EV3 brick to bring up some speech samples from HAL 9000 as in the movie but it was far to loud at the exhibition. So all it does right now is having a red light...which...lights red. more pictures on my page at: http://gerkens.org/lego/lego/lego_hal9000.html Hope you like it...

I needed a sound diffusor for my living room and I wanted to create a sideview LEGO mosaic of a retro game character. So I decided to build the good „Green Tentacle“ from the famous game „Day of the tentacle“ as a curved LEGO mosaic. The picture of Green Tentacle is 32x52 pixel small. The mosaic is nearly only made of 1x2 bricks and 1x2 plates. It is 64 LEGO studs wide and 86 bricks and 2 plates tall. 50 x 85cm in total. Some hinge plates 1 x 4 swivel top are needed to hold the construction in place. To get a big LEGO square for each of the pixels I placed two 1x2 plates one top of one 1x2 brick. It’s possible to adjust the radius, but changing it can easily result in an unstable construction ;-). I ordered about 4000 bricks from 7 www.bricklink.com shops and here it is. :-D BTW: Double Fine announced to release a new HD version of the point-and-click adventure „Day of the tentacle“. ;-) Green Tentacle: Minifig point of view: Size comparison: Back side: Hope you like it. Come and see it in Skaerbaek Fanweekend 2015! :-)

Now I finished purple tentacle, too! Game Sprite I used: Green and Purple side by side. With Yve to compare the size:

"Nuke" Duke wanted to blow it up to be able to transport the pieces most easily. But the other convinced him to keep it to examine the "Blue Glow Power".
