Diamonds Are Forever
rodiziorobs replied to Captain Braunsfeld's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
The oil rig works really well at this scale, I think. DAF is not a Bond film I am as familiar with as some others, so I'm not too fussed with details. I had missed your previous micro-Bonds and they are amazing, too (YOLT in particular!) Here's looking forward to what else you put together! -
Incredible! The detail packed into the relatively small size--and that it opens--make it a winner. Stellar job
-
I love that you didnt just scatter the water around, but purposefully built it up. It is really well done, and conveys the motion of the monsters well. As for the serpents themselves, their slinking coiling bodies are amazing. I have tried something similar before and wish mine looked half this good.
-
The curved look of the roof with cheese wedges is really well done, I imagine it took hours rebuilding it to get it to be so seamless.

[Lego Ideas] Flying Saucer - Meet the Greys by DivingFaces_5018
rodiziorobs replied to divingfaces's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Classic saucer shape with classic alien creatures! The colored lights rimming the outer edge of the disc really nails the vibe you seem to be going for. My only criticism is that the cockpit area looks clunky, with the wide pillars and 4x4 cyl windows. Overall, though, its a fun build. Good luck over on Ideas! Also, I appreciate the [Ideas] tag in the topic title. I can't remember what the specific rules are here (I don't come by near as much as I used to), but I like knowing up front what you're posting. -
The color scheme running through it simply screams "Blacktron" while the shape suggests simply running and screaming.
-
The shaping is excellent, with some smart NPU on the balloon and shell pieces. Also, the way the wheels are designed fits the futuristic aesthetic very well. I, too, don't feel the color scheme really says "Harley," but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise great build.

Normally I'm not a fan of loose bricks--i.e. its a pet peeve of mine when people just spread blue studs around and call it 'water'--but the lower pavilion with the wizards, where you just kind of loosely arranged the grey slopes on their sides? It looks wonderful. The effect is that it extends the scene freely, building it out in a purposeful way. I'm surprised both by how effective it is and how much I like it. Oh, and the rest of the architecture is fantastic as well. Thanks for sharing!

Great use of color, and the curved/conical shape of the roof is very appealing! I will keep that technique in mind for my own future creations, thanks for sharing

(MOC) The Elvan Seaport of Elvadion
rodiziorobs replied to Bricksnaps's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Elves has to be my favorite TLG-generated theme from recent years, and your build here is a great extension of the theme with several unique additions to it. Great work, thanks for sharing -
Great work integrating all of the technic/bionicle pieces, but most of all, I love that you used a technic figure! Also, I'm practically drooling over the metallic silver. This is a great piece to me, I love it!
-
The whole scene, down to the lighting, is so spot-on, I can practically hear the printer buzzing! Really great creation here.

[MOC] Pink Floyd - Building All The Albums
rodiziorobs replied to Retro's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I enjoyed this particular recreation, particularly that you were a little loose in the interpretation. It is instantly recognizable and I think, especially given the soirce material, that the simplicity works in its favor, rather than being slavish to every detail. -
What was the last movie you watched?
rodiziorobs replied to EbonHawk's topic in Culture & Multimedia
Into the Spiderverse, finally, and now I can't get "Spidey Bells" out of my head. What a gorgeous, incredible movie. I'll give it to Lord and Miller, they know how to run the gamut from subtle background jabs to in-your-face absurdity, while hitting some deep and sincere emotional beats along the way. -
This is wonderful. Just that one picture tells the whole story. Thanks for sharing, good luck!

Review: Creator Expert 10269 Harley-Davidson
rodiziorobs replied to mostlytechnic's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Excellent review! I love that you went out and talked to people about it, it seems like such a nobly nerdy thing to do. I'm not much into motorcycles, but when this hit my inbox this morning I was excited. I was worried it would be end up costing $$$$$, but at $100 it seems attainable. My biggest issue is, like the review said, the front fork is too chunky and wide. But the rest of it really matches the look and angles of the real thing. Despite my having no connection to the source material, I really like this model. Time to set a new ebay search I guess. -

I generally agree with this, but the trailers make this seem like not-your-typical comic book movie; I think that will work in this movie's favor, especially where it doesn't seem to be tied to any other movie continuity. That being said, it also doesn't look like my kind of movie, so I won't be seeing it anyway. - - - - - In a separate note, I saw this short clip of some behind-the-scenes problem solving on Shazam! put together by the director. It's short, informative, and entertaining: Sandberg's wit is sharp and quick. https://io9.gizmodo.com/in-a-neat-video-shazam-s-director-talks-the-art-of-pro-1836149088

rodiziorobs replied to EbonHawk's topic in Culture & Multimedia
In recent weeks I have seen Captain Marvel (it was ok), Aquaman again, this time with the kids (who loved it), and a couple of Nic Cage's Disney flicks, also with the kids, and Da Vinci Code (not with the kids). -
It's the inevitable Muppet/Marvel crossover event we've all been waiting for...! I like it
-
Yeah, the original was very...lackluster. Not bad necessarily, but not great. Personally I think those pieces for the fingers are too big, but your other choices are the part the original used, or its counterpart with the tube ending, so what you have is probably the best. The knees and shoulders on yours are a huge improvement. I'd echo the comment above about the thighs--would it work better to use the ball joint pieces on a double-sided snot brick, pointed downwards? That way you'd avoid needing a 2x gap between the legs, without altering the overall proportion at all. Overall, though, a great start at a smaller size sentinel.
-
I'd say you got the look pretty close, and no it doesn't suck Matching those curved shapes is tricky, but you've done a great job!
-
Some very creative parts usage (and connections!) to achieve the look--the Vader mask part is great, it took me a bit to puzzle that one out. The whole bike is instantly recognizable, and very well done

[MOC] Tea ceremony in Japanese garden
rodiziorobs replied to Pate-keetongu's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
You never cease to amaze me, using exotic parts for normal things, and mundane parts for exotic things. The face on the warrior and the robe on the maiko are the standouts to me, but the entire creation is just so good. Thank you for sharing it here! -
The overall effect is great, with some spot-on choices for minifigs. Thanks for sharing!
