    Hello once again my fellow EBers!

    Flickr yielded nothing, so I thought someone here might be able to help. I'm looking for at least 6 green forestmen hats. I'd prefer to trade, since these do add up on Bricklink, but I will buy if I need to. :classic:

    Thanks!

    (I'd consider G.I. Joe sci-fi, wouldn't you? :grin: The original line might not be, but trust me, the new film is)

    As some of you might have seen on flickr, I saw G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra last night at the charity premiere. On display was the original Mole Pod from the film - just an awesome prop, with a spinning drill. I hung around it during the premiere party and got a really good look at it, so this MOC is very accurate.

    Phew, ok, finally done. Thanks to everyone who offered feedback in the WIP stages, it really helped! This is a pretty huge MOC for me, since I building on small scales usually; hopefully you find it to be in my "top" MOC echelon.

    From flickr: "Fulton's Revenge is a steam-powered, schooner-shaped paddleboat. With over a three-month build-time, this ship features both a sculpted hull and a paneled hull, which makes it unqiue as far as construction goes. A working paddlewheel, steam-stack covered wheel house, two crane masts and a chrome lightning-rod figurehead are among the many details adorning the vessel. She will be on display at BrickFair 2009 at the end of August."

    However, as you have written yourself it was salvaged and tricked up, but it shows no sign of any wear and tear from either the "end of the world" or from previous zombie encounters. I'd reckon it would be better to have not browns and grays, but just a little more, like a missing light or blood stained front to show what it is. As it stands, it just doesn't sit right with me. Either that or give it a backstory explaining its state.

    Ok, I'll go out there then and say he washed it. That, or it was stored in a special underground bunker when the a-bomb or h-bomb or whatever went off. :wink:

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    However, I am going to have to totally disagree with the statments that claim this is not post-apoc. It's not the sterotypical post-apoc., but let's break what the theme is about - we all know it is the speculative genere illustrating what would happen after the end of the world. It's generally depicted in LEGO using lots of grays and browns - we've all seen them - heavy, industrial convoy vehicles or tanks. This is simply a different take on the theme - perhaps an even more plausible one. This is a hearse that was salvaged during judgment day, then "tricked out" to take on zombies. Hopefully this makes sense. I trust you know I wouldn't make something with the intentions of it being one theme, and have it turn out having no relation to its intended theme whatsoever. :wink:

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! :classic:

    Magnificent ! I really like how you made the wheels. Wasn't it hard to invert those tiny arches ? How did you connect them to the rest ?

    Thanks Jipay; It was hard to fit the tires over the wagon wheels; I've seen it done quite a few times before, and was surprised at how much force was needed to get them on! The arches are attached with 1/2 pins (a builder's best friend! :wink:) The whole thing is a structural nightmare, though. :grin:

    I'll be there; my first event. I plan on bringing a few MOCs, too, including "Warehouse District Shootout", "Stagecoach and Buffalo", "Stanley's Steam Car", "Fulton's Revenge" (A big steampunk ship, should be posted in a couple days.), "Bot-O-Matic", a soon-to-be-finished remote-control moon rover [if I can finish it in time!] and maybe a couple other things... I look forward to meeting some fellow EBers. :classic:

    Thanks for the feedback fellas. :classic:

    It looks ok, but a few things strike me as odd though.

    If it is steam powered, then where is the big exhaust?

    And why do the mudguards not fit over the wheels, they are kinda useless now..

    Nice use of the chrome cups as headlights though and using the arches upside down on the sides is a nice tough as well.

    Did you base this of a real car Jordan?

    Well, it's not a historically accurate model, but it's based on Stanley Steam Cars; for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pairadocs/2477663776/ I guess I just forgot the exhaust pipe; simply put, the mudguards didn't end up fitting over the wheels; technically they should be over the wheels, but instead they rest more closely against the body of the vehicle. Again, not so historically accurate. :grin:

    Stanley the Fox bought a new steam car and is off through the country! I originally built this to be minifigure scale, but it came out much too large; luckily, it's the perfect scale for belville child figures!

    Ok, this has to belong here. It has to. If not, you've got your work cut out for you Sir Dillon. :tongue:

    "An explorer and his guide stumble upon a sinking temple deep in a Cambodian jungle."

    Obviously inspired by the hindu temple from Disney's "Jungle Cruise" along with some temple found in Disney's Animal Kingdom [Anandapur, respectively] and Angkor Wat - this is kinda a history/fiction crossover.

    Oh boy, I hope "dinosaur" is a "historic theme"! :tongue:

    This is my first brick-built dinosaur - my personal favorite, the (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachycephalosaurus) Pachycephalosaurus. This particular creation is unlike many other creations of mine for a couple reasons, one being the scale, and two being the rough texture [notice the use of 1 x 1 round plates vs. 1 x 1 (square) plates and the exposed studs.]

    I wanted to build something with both a retro-space and steampunk style so I came up with this.

    "We join our hero in another intergalactic quest of cosmic proportions! Travelling in his rocket, The Bringer of Jollity, he lands in a clearing on the mysterious planet. What strange manner of life shall he lay chance upon today"

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. :pir-blush: I know what the ship will look like in the end, but I don't know how to classify it. I suppose it'll be schooner-esque. Here are a couple more pictures:

    I believe this is your first ship in the pirate section of Eurobricks, and I wish you all the best with the build! :pir-sweet:

    Actually I've built some ships in the past - nothing too great, though. :pir-tongue: (I had in ship in my PTV entry, I've built the Dutch whaling vessel, and the H.M.S. Gaspee - those are my recent ships, anyway.) They all used the bulky hull elements, though.

    Teddy is actually building the sides of his HMS Victory in that style. Bear in mind that we build the bottoms upside down for more smoothness.

    Though this is a crude model, you are on the right track Jordan.

    Good luck on it, hulls can be a headache.

    Yeah, his is similar - both are studs out, but his is more sculpted vs. my use of hinges. I did note the upside-down thing browsing through the ship archives, but it was too tile-intensive for me. :pir-wink:

    Thanks!
