Yes, there is! Sorry to reply so late.Hey, new update. Check out this link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/390906 for my adventures this year.

Oh, cool! Maybe I'll un-knowingly see you there, since I know that I'm going. It was pretty rewarding to see last year's mosaic up, and hopefully it will be the same this year!

Here's a topic I thought I would put in, just 'cause. World War Brick is the largest solely military LEGO convention in the world. Supposedly it is, that might not be true, but I'll believe them. It is in its third or fourth year, I believe, now, and it gets bigger every year. It is hosted in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at Brickmania Toyworks. Apart from Brickmania, other vendors come, such as GI Brick, Brickstuff, and others. Will Chapman from Brickarms is also there. Some of the activites besides shopping are looking at Weekend Pass holders' MOCs, looking at the Greater Midwest and Twin Cities LEGO Train Club displays, see Brickmania's dioramas and other builds (Including the new-for-this-year Battle of the Black Sea (Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down) diorama), or take part in the building of this year's mosaic. Last year it was the Iwo Jima Flag Raising, which turned out to be a resounding success. This year, they are doing the Cobra King picture. I could go on and on, but I have places to be, so I'll wrap this up. Weekend passes are still available for $60.00 for the complete devoters, but for the merely curious, you can buy a public ticket both in advance (it gets you in half an hour early) or at the door. You can buy them here: http://www.brickmania.com/brands/World-War-Brick.html and here ia the website for WWB itself: http://worldwarbrick.com/ I hope this sparks some interest!

I believe you're thinking too hard. I'm talking about just putting a picture in the post. Unless everybody puts in a URL link (I've posted pictures before without doing it), then they must upload pictures from their computer.

Hi everyone, I know I sound a little silly, but I haven't been around for a LONG time, and I'm a little rusty. How do you post pictures from your computer (non-url) in a topic? I've forgotten... Thanks, BrickmanJ

spray painting lego?
BrickmanJ replied to cfc's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just today I went to the store and picked myself up a can of Krylon Camoflauge with Fusion. I got it so I could paint some flightsuits for a diorama I'm making. I got it in olive drab. I'm only using it because of price and color. I would much rather have the quality of LEGO, but to get three OD 'figs, it would cost 19 bucks. I got the paint for 7. Plus, the OD LEGO has is a lighter color than the suits. -
Sorry I'm so late. :D. Check out my MOCpages for my latest update and my homepage has my full units plans list.
-
Great job! I love your trucks!
-
Thank you everybody!

Thanks! I found the color list, but I can't seem to figure it out. Can you help me? I use MS Word for my decals.

Here are my current fire units. These are for the Brickshore Fire Rescue District, which is the main fire department in my county, Brickford. This is Engine 1, a 2013 Pierce Velocity side-mount pumper. It has a 500 GPM Waterous pump with a 2000 gallon polycarbonite tank. It is eqquipped with a Federal Signal Vsion SLR lightbar and a Federal Q siren. This is the second version of Engine 1. You can check out the new one here: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/376620, and the old one here: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/374415. Up next is my Utility unit! This is the BFRD's Utility unit for Station 1. It runs with Engine 1 for MVAs, medical calls, and anything that involves a trailer. It is a Ford F-250, converted by KME into a small service unit. It has a hard bubble cover on the bed, but it doesn't hold anything. It has Whelen lighting, and as you will see, there is a traffic advisor in the back. The wheel are raised a stud, due to the trailer hitch, and I think that making it one stud higher makes it look a lot more like an F-250 than a 150. The truck is pretty much self explanatory; not much else to say. Check it out on MOCpages: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/376041. Last but not least, the command car. This car is a 2013 Ford Interceptor used the BFRD for the chief. That they don't have. We have the car, but not the Chief. Anyways, same as the Sheriff cars, blah blah. There will be two more of these; one for each station. This one is driven by the chief, and the other two will be driven by assistant chiefs. It's on MOCpages here: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/377101. Plus, the entire Brickford emergency fleet! Look below for 'Muricah pride! This is a car that would be, if you guys like it, more or less acuratly made into LEGO for the BCSD. I made this on Ford's Mustang Customizer. It is a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 that would be an unmarked pursuit unit for the Sheriff's Department. The reason why it would be a pursuit unit is because of the supercharged intercooled 5.8-liter 32-valve aluminum block V8 engine delivering 662 horsepower and 631 lb.-ft. of torque. Plus it just looks badass, hands down. Do you guys think I should go on a limb and try this? Post below!

That's really cool! I like it, but there's one thing I suggest. For the roof on the body of the truck, if you have the parts, put tiles there instead, so it looks like the rest of the truck: smooth and classy.
-
Drats! I was just about to do a review of this. Well, nice job anyways. It is really a cool truck.
-
Well, it's nice to see that.
-
Ahh. That makes since. I'm 'Murican, and here the CG does that.
-
That is one badass town! I wish I had space to do something like that.
-
A platform sounds nice. So, a Seagrave Marauder II Pumper and a Pierce Arrow XT 85' Platform Aerial.
-
Oh, it's going to be in the works for a while, unfortunately. I'm working on it steadily though. Yeah, I was thinking squad, because I don't want something as involved as a ladder, or something so little as a utility, but that runs into a problem. Every stereotypical fire station has 2 "fire trucks," when only one is actually a truck. It has a "hook and ladder," and a "fire truck," which is just a pumper. I don't want this to be stereotypical, but I want it to be nice, so I think I may be doing a ladder. I'll look into stats on that. Do you think it should be a TDA, a ladder, or a platform? I don't necessarily mind if you show me a pic of your station, but I just wanted to tell you that the "Any suggestions?" was for another rig idea.
-
Great job! I would probably call this, if it guards immigration and fishing, a stealth Coast Guard boat, but whatever…
-
Great, informative, detailed review. I love the "bitchin' sunglasses."
-
Whoa. That's awesome man! Brick on.
-
No, it will be from scratch; no FB.

I am going to plan and probably make a MOC modular 2 bay fire station. It will be bigger and better than the Fire Brigade set, and it will have 2 units, probably from my volunteer fire department. Do you guys think that would be cool? Edit: I have decided on 1 of the two units, a Seagrave Maruader II Pumper. I just need an idea for the second unit. I'm thinking maybe a squad. Any suggestions? UPDATE: The two units will be this: A Seagrave Marauder II Pumper and a Pierce Arrow XT 85' Platfrom Aerial. I am not going to have plans out for this soon, as I am very busy with other things like my new business, my regular LEGO fire department, and a replica rig as a present. I am still thinking about this and working on it bit by bit, though. You will see the units first. UPDATE 2: The LDD rendering of the pumper is done, so I will have that here soon. I am working on the aerial rendering now. Pretty soon I will have LDD Manager. I switched back to LDD because of time and ease. MLcad doesn't work for me and LEOcad takes forever. I didn't get SR 3D. UPDATE 3: I got LDD Manager, so now I have a parts list for the engine. I am working on the aerial.
