  1. Hello MiniGreavy! Thx for sharing but we already had a thread about it here. 8-| Maybe a MOD can merge both threads.
  2. Happy birthday to all three of you! Maybe you are able to take a green Enoa today. (Whatever that will be)*wacko* :-D May your day be filled with a lot of boxes that rattle. Older ON!
  3. Do I have to do it all on my own? :-| ;-) Here you are: Straights: 68 Curves: 72 Switches: 2 of both sides Crossings: 2 this is definitely no beginners layout. 8-|
  4. Yes. But of course you need at least two piece of that wheel and of that specific track. ;-) Both pieces are used in the set 4885 - Spider-Man
  5. Howly cow! This is *y* *y* *y* for you for making a review so fast! Thank you so much. Hope it keeps a lot of people from buying. :-| :-D LOL! :-D , great comment! This will never be my first or last plane and that for 100% :-X 7723 Crap plane OFF!
  6. So we expect your detailed review till - would tomorrow be okay? ;-)
  7. Mmmmmh. With all those people having a space tag :-| I already was thinking of giving back mine. No. Not really. Maybe exchange it with a Star Trek flag? ;-) Just to keep you busy, Sinner. Flags ON! X-D
  8. Thank you Sinner for replying. I already wondered if I made a new topic nobody is interested in. :'-( What did I do wrong? Or was my story all too long? :-D Luckily I was able to make photos of a floor plan showing the whole hospital in the early design process. Otherwise it would have been really hard to make it accurate. But even with the plan it had some tricky corners. One thing I forgot to mention about the event: All exhibitors got a free 1x8 brick in green with "Frechen 2008" engraved. It sticks to your t-shirt with two small but very strong magnets (not to be compared with the EB-event-07 magnet ;-) :-P ). This is really nice, so you can see where all the others had attended so far. Resulting in Jan Beyer almost having back pain: *click to enlarge* As it was my first event, I started with my badge: Needless to say I

  14. I saw it a week ago. I had no ruler ;-), but I would estimate it extends around 15-20 cm.
  15. I agree, this is absolutely ridiculous! |-/ We do have a seperate thread for ebay findings like these. ;-)

  17. Cool mini-set. Thanks for your pics (that are far too big! |-/ ) I would love this type of mini-trains to be continued to have a large little *wacko* tran-layout. *wub* For track you can run the train on parts like . No curves though.
  18. You should know that this type of null-posting is spam and the direct way to the chamber. >:-(
  19. I see ... you guys catch the spirit of Eurobricks! *wub*
  20. B-M-1A Hi everybody! After a working period of almost a year I finished my latest MOC just in time to show in on the yearly AFOL exhibition in Frechen last weekend (5.1.08 + 6.1.08). This thread is made to show you my MOC :'-) and to incourage you to do the same. (No, you don�t have to come to Germany next January :-P , but you maybe able to show some of your work at a local exhibition ;-) ). It was overwhelming to meet so many Lego oriented/interested people and to talk to them. Another experience everyone should make is talking to visitors. That�s quite fun, because the questions are mostly the same: How long did it take to build it? :-) How much money did you spend on it? 8-| And the good old classic: Can I buy this? :-D The visistors were all very kind and friendly and the are very thankful for the answers they get. I never would have expected that so many NAFOL (not-AFOL :-D ) are still interested in Lego. A lot of people remember their childhood when seeing things on display. But some don�t even know that certain sets existed. The weblink that was given out most on these days was Bricklink.com. Many people are in need of just a few parts and never heard of the famous website before. Here are more photos I made from the event. To sum it up: One weekend of pure pleasure. It was my first but definitely not the last show I attended. (The next thing I�m working on is to organize a small Lego show with the ability to drive trains and do more stuff for little children at our local parish festival. So if you have ideas for me - let me know!) But now to my MOC: I always wanted to build a local building to scale. First I wanted to build the church, but I pretty fast abandoned that idea because of very difficult angles and the towers. :-| Then I looked at the place I work in: The local hospital. Clear structure, no weird colours used - fine, that�s it! I began thinking about it on march '07. I had NO plans of the building and started making photographs. In my BS-folder (see below) you can find a photo where I compared the stone colour with existing Lego colours. I made almost 100 photos to get as many details as possible. Later on I luckily got my hands on some ground plans. I planned the whole thing digitally with LDD. *image clickable* That worked fine for the older part of the building (old brown walls, black roof), but when it came to the newer bigger part (white buildings, flat roof) where I had to put walls after walls without the possibility to edit them (at least I didn�t find a solution for this 8-| ) I quitted working virtually. I bought the first bricks on our last event in G�nzburg. But in retrospect I had NO idea what amount of bricks I was looking for. It was a start, okay, but almost the same amount I had to buy later at Bricklink. Most of you know the story: Right after you have completed an order and went on building you realize, that some bricks are still missing. It took me about 10 orders to complete my shopping list (that never really existed). |-/ And you cannot blame anyone else with this! :-D I started real-building in June with a long brake due to missing parts from September to November. You can see the building process in my BS-folder. Just follow the numbers. I added some photos of the hospital as well to show the real building in comparison. I finished the hospital just in time on Friday, 4th of January at 1:30 a.m. 12 hours later I stowed it in my car and drove it to Frechen. In other words: If there hadn�t been this event, I still wouldn�t have finished it. :-D Fortunately I was able to seperate it in two parts and all went well on the transport. The facts: It�s about 4500 bricks (costs: 350 � - I had expected more) and the pure building time was around 50 hours. I had to estimate the scale - it�s around 1:180 (please tell me, if I�m totally wrong). And - NO, I�m not going to do this in minifig scale, you know! :-P X-D Right now it is stored in my house, but I plan to display it in the hospital as well - negotiations are running (maybe Copmike could help me with that ;-) ). So enjoy and let me know what you think about it. P.S.: On the second day we took our monorail and Santa-Fe to the exhibition as well to fill the left space. Kids (including mine) LOVE trains!
  21. Oh, lucky you! They don
  22. Veeeery good! X-D Splash ON!
