    Thats the set (GL set) most responsible for wallet bankrupcy in AFOLS in 2015. Got the brainiac set and have to say it a great little set

    To Robert8 I was having the same problem in flickr, you need to get the deep link for that image, go to the image file properties and copy the actual exact link and add to the image button from the toolbox here in the answer box. Hope it helps.

    That sentinel deserves a topic or at least more pics, looks really good, but like all sentinels could always be a bit bigger :D

    Small update: Playing with new cowl prototype dimensions https://www.flickr.c...425103/sizes/o/ --- This is the 1st proto printed in PLA, the more recent ones below are much better. I'll have the final version soon in ABS. I'm trying a new way of molding plastic pieces. Wish me luck. I'm focused on finishing killstrike right now but i hope to have the cowl done soon. More on that here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/118244175@N05/16416488849/

    I had seen this on flickr and had to say, FANTASTIC work. Love what you did with the piece very resourceful. Its amazing how a little heat and plastic trimming can have such an impact on the overall look of that mask. I wonder what else could be done from the same hawkman mask. _J

    https://www.flickr.c...02/16627810401/ Our latest project is finally ready to reveal, an updated and improved version of the initial rendering posted last summer that we have been making as accurate as we could. Introducing Killstrike It will be available in a month and half. For now enjoy the render, i'll post pics of the prototype as soon as we have it. (a week or so) Killstrike features 360° PAD PRINTING This is a colab between Legomazing toys and the former powerbrick team (Now cyclopsbricks) for previous projects see flickr links and hope you like what we are doing. More deluxe projects coming. Enjoy. And let us know what you think as more pics are released. Lmazing team

    Hi guys, just to let you know that the supershirt v1 is now available in Europe, you can see here for details: A new thread will be created for this and other releases.

    We ended up changing things a bit since last i updated, and dropped the funding thing. Presenting the supershirt project (pants included :D ) https://www.flickr.c...02/15115815010" So here is a rendering of the first joint project between Legomazing and PowerBrick. And the result, https://www.flickr.c...191890/sizes/n/ Check the stream for more pics, its available in the USA, but it will be available in Europe in a week or so. I'll probably create a topic for general releases, and other info once we get the whole production process to run smoother and faster but for now enjoy. For those waiting on Beyond project to finish, its going to take a while still, however we may be able to have a full figure out in the next 30days of something else that i'm sure many will go crazy for. Stay tuned...

    Not my favorite batmobile but, you did excelent, and lights and all, SHOW OFF!!! :b Very clever use of parts, really intricate, and the opening cockpit is perfect. Pity there aren't wheel rims trans blue with black bats, the yellow looks off on this maybe put some normal round trans blue pieces with decals on it?? Either way my hats off to you.

    https://www.google.p...iw=1360&bih=599 I'm ressurecting this conversation to ask you if any of these are the scouring cream you used? We want to try all you methods see which one is better to go over with pad ink. If you have the brand you used let me know so i can tell the printers. Thanks Emil _Joe

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/118244175@N05/14399999790/ Quick update: This is the cape prototype we will be using, we are on schedule, some other goodies in the flickr too if you guys want to check it out. We are designing a variant of the torso. We call it the "bruce rebirth" torso. Cowl design looks great. ------------------ PS to Rob, I'll be holding you to that :)

    https://www.flickr.c...05/14517335496/ There has been a small change in the Project, since the crowdfunding didn't pickup enough interest, Legomazing and a new group of people will be releasing a part of this project together and we hope to make many more. We will revisit the crowdfunding to speed up releases in the future but for now you can read about this one. We understand the feedback we got about not wanting to commit without us having released a few more products on our own, so hope this shows our commitment.

    Hi guys this will probably be the final update on this one I added the "Final Result Pic" on the first post:

    What all of them said, cut the top of a witches hat and sand a bit. Then bring the cut edge back to shiny plastic by polishing with mild acetone solution on a rag. I've done it myself and looks very good as a placeholder of the real deal.

    Hi Reg hope the masking is going well, this is a topic on paints. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=95291&hl=
  17. CustomJoe_MD
    Have you tried the peroxide thing and then let them in the sun in a plastic container. I'm not 100% thats how its done but I recall some talk about this before. OR http://midibox.org/forums/topic/12218-retr0bright-get-rid-of-the-yellowing-on-your-old-abs-plastic/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retr0bright Not sure it won't remove the black though. I never id this so do a test beforehand, you can make your own solution of this stuff at home.
  18. CustomJoe_MD
    You will need to mask the area you don't want to paint (blue tape and an x-acto) you can try painting liquid latex over the areas to mask too, but at that scale it's going to be a pain to save the black. If you have the talent just paint over the entire thing and then repaint the black. Plastiline is a good alternative to use if you don't have latex available. Or abs paint, sand the part a little where it's yellow and then make some from acetone and shavings of new white parts, just make sure its thin enough to refill the sanded parts. You are going to a lot of trouble for such a small detail, I RESPECT that. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96498 this will help with some of that restauration project

    THAT right there IS INSANE. Best Bat thing I've ever seen EVER. Congrats Tim you sure deserve all the kudos after the work you put in. So when does this set go on the shelves? :D - Seriously I WANT THAT, put it on cuusoo/ideas, something or a LDD with instructions. Do you accept souls, first borns, blood oaths or Mastercard (only card accepted in Hell). That deserves a set if anything ever did. And those train tracks just gave me a really good idea to solve a 3d scanner problem, thanks.

    Thanks for the answers BMW, you did a really clean job, I'd never have guessed it was all stickers and ink removal. Nice trick on the hat. A good show of blending official with custom for a superior effect. Very professional. I'd love to see a pad printed version of that, maybe after I make Toht, we can talk about it.
  21. CustomJoe_MD
    I'm having the strangest craving for radiactive mint and chocolate-chip right now. Wonder where that it came from. Really nice, and great acessories. Can you talk a bit more about how you made the figure (decals stickers??) and where you got the hat. Also those shoes look really good, how did you make those? Any pics of the back? or is it just plain?

    Your welcome Rosalind, when you are finished post some pics, so we can all admire moon head Hulk :)

    Sandpaper/dremel it down, then mold the shape to a round or flat green top. You can use acetone to clean up the plastic (acetone melts the abs - make sure you use a diluted solution for polishing) If you have gaps or need to fill in any holes/scratches or something, get some green abs parts that match the color and shave some of that into a little glass and pour acetone (the strong drugstore kind on that to make a melty goo paste - once it's all gooey remove with a spoon and fill the area on the fig) And if you want to use cyanoacrylate/super glue and on top on the glue add shavings of lego plastic, you can then rub or paint acetone over that to smooth out the surface. ---------------------------- There is a tutorial on how to do it here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:116571 - Video 4 and 5 if I'm not mistaken are about that (bellow main image) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35489 ---renewing spray for abs tutorial ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- my post on this http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85409entry1663454 There is actually a topic on the acetone+lego to make paintable plastic. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80574&hl=%2Blego+%2Bacetone+%2Bpaint

    Jopie, Stanley is in China, CBricks is in Europe, I think the world is big enough for both. And nothing wrong with a bit of competition as long as quality stays high. Also I undestand some people in the USA always had a big expense getting stuff like this from Europe, now they can get it closer to home. WIN-WIN I'd say. To Stanley I say good luck.
