Short Ball Pump Mechanism
Athos posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm wanting to build a single GBC loop and am looking for a ball pump mechanism that isn't too tall. That is, I want something where the balls can be fed in as low as possible. Anyone got instructions? Steve -
Short Ball Pump Mechanism
Athos replied to Athos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I seem to remember one that used a piston mechanism and a slope brick, but I can't remember where I saw it or how it worked. Steve -

Hidden Side VS Monster Fighters
Athos replied to Lego David's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I prefer Monster Fighters figures better. The ghosts of Hidden Side just don't do it for me. Can't really explain why, except they are not ghost-y enough. But apart from the execution of ghosts, I really like the Lovecraftian vibe I get from the HS stuff. And the sets have been decent. Steve -
Here is my latest MOC. It made its debut at BrickSlopes in May and is expected to go to BricksLA next month. Its been a long time since I posted a MOC here, but I've been building bigger, which means it takes longer to build and is much harder to photograph. But I thought I'd share my feudal Japanese layout. Its 192 studs long by 192 studs wide by not-sure how tall. I may try to take some more detail photos in January. Steve

Yes, That bothers me too. I'd like to assume they sea is out to the front, which is why the dock is there, and there is no reason to take the large ships further up the inlet. The real reason is making the bridge high enough for the ships to sail under would make a mess of the scale. Steve

(MOC) Oh..Look what the Greeks left us...its Pretty!!!!!
Athos replied to Bricksnaps's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I like it. I really like the mane and tail. Though, you need to push the bricks together on the horse more. There are some unsightly gaps between the bricks; the ones I particularly noticed were in the legs. Steve -

I like the shutters. Steve

I get tired of the same old red Santa every year, so I went with a Victorian style Father Christmas: I wish Lego would make a minifig version of him. Steve

Athos replied to WhiteFang's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thanks. It is little compared to the Egypt one in the background which is also mine. Steve -

Athos replied to WhiteFang's topic in Special LEGO Themes
This is a little layout I did, which was inspired by those old advertisements: Steve -
Oooh, sweet prize. I've been debating dropping the money on the Hela set for several months now. Steve

I'd ditch the custom parts and the white fuzz, but beyond that its a great looking MOC. Steve

Dang, I don't remember what prize I won and don't think I sent that info with my address. More of a surprise when it comes in the mail, I guess. Steve
-
Hooray, I won. I was beginning to worry. Steve

I wonder if you could put it with the Parisian restaurant to lessen the impact of that weird stair. Steve
