Just to make sure: did you install (the old) LPub4 or the new (updated) version called LPub3D?

Haha, thanks! You do have some nice display shelves though! I have a little shelf (in another room) where I put a few things on display every now and then, but things like the Porsche and the BWE just barely fit on there (well, actually they don't and they just stay on the shelf because the better part of the weight is on the shelf ).

Yup, it's not always the cheapest solution to buy everything at a single store. I have set up my store filters at Rebrickable and Bricklink so that it only shows stores in the EU (because of shipping costs from the US etc.) and there's almost always the same store that has the most lots available for a given MOC or wanted list. It's store in Portugal and it has a huge inventory. However, the it also has huge prices... Like, ridiculously high. I've seen so many parts that they (try to) sell for €9,99 while the average price is more like €0,50. So many times that store pops with for example 150 lots for €700 while the second store has 145 lots for €85 or something like that. And to my surprise that store has a lot of customers and they're all very positive. Well, I always read it's difficult to have a Bricklink store (especially the part to make enough money to make it feasible to invest in more inventory for the store) but with prices like that I'm pretty sure it's a piece of cake I've black-listed the store btw (on Bricklink and Rebrickable), the prices are way too high. Anyway, that was a bit off-topic. But it's a bit of a waste to delete my little story now

Ok, was a bit late for me yesterday. So, to answer your first question: I personally wouldn't really like a system like that, although for the most part simply due to the fact that my workspace is not that big. So, if I had to get out a lot of containers, I'd have no space left to build. I sticked everything to the wall, so my building-area would be as big as possible What I like about my drawer setup is that everything I need (mostly just Technic) is within my reach and I can access everything without taking up much space (I can 'hang' the drawers from the cabinets, so I don't have to put them on the table). My less used parts and other misc. stuff is in a closet: But, again, it's a bit of a personal taste. If you have a lot of space, I can certainly see why the container-in-drawer method would be nice. Especially if you can dump all the containers around your building-area, that might even be easier that my drawing method. I used to have a some sort of 'suitcase' like Lego2016Lego has here, but without the loose containers within, just static compartments. I didn't really like it because of two reasons. If I needed one part, I had to take out the whole suitcase and put it on a table to get the part. Now, imagine you need parts from 8 suitcases, there's no space for that. I kept opening, closing and stacking the suitcases. So, I really don't recommend storage like that, unless storage space is really limited or you can (again) take out the little containers (although you'd still need to open/close the suitcases when grabbing parts for the first time). At the end of the day, everyone has their own opinion and their own favorite ways of doing things. If you ask about opinions, you'll get a lot of opinions, but nothing closer to an actual decision

Do you mean something like this? Or do I understand it incorrectly?

If you could share the file, or open the file in a text-editor (like notepad) and show us what line 78 looks like, we might be able to help bettter

Bricksafe currently has a limit of 100MB per file. Jeroen had a problem with that too, when I wanted to put the DB11 instructions on Bricksafe, that's why the instructions were suddenly separated into 2 books. Jeroen said, that Nathan (from Rebrickable & Bricksafe) said that the limit on Bricksafe is actually much higher, but that their back-end filehosting service has a 100MB limit.

Well, not uploading it on youtube I guess... At least not if you want to provide a file with the 'full quality'. And besides, I believe youtube compresses video anyway, regardless of resolution.

Time to buy one of those new AMD 8-core/16-thread ryzen cpus Or maybe @Renderbricks could give the .pov file a shot with his rendering-machine or whatever he has. But, that looks really nice. Great work people!

I haven't worked on the car for months, so I got at it with a 'fresh' mind. I was also thinking that, maybe the doors are in fact correct and it's the roof that is wrong. However, there's no pivot point for the roof. And I'm pretty much 100% correct that I did that part correct, it's very clear in the video (and also in the video. But even if there would be a pivot point, the L beams at the back of the roof would have no room to pivot backwards (front of the roof up), because they would it the L shaped panels... Btw, the reason why the front window is going through the roof is probably because I just haven't properly modeled that part. It's so frustrating that I have no idea where the problem lies. It's a really nice model, I'm so far, and then this Or, maybe there is no problem and it's really just a digital-only quirk and it just about fits in real-life. But I don't have the parts to test it at the moment

Here's a (4k) render of how far I was. That is already completely stepped and with rotation-steps. The only thing it's missing is the doors. As you can see in the image, I tried getting a door correct, but it doesn't fit at all. Now, I know that sometimes things don't fit in digital models but do fit in real life (because you can 'bend' the parts a bit), but this looks really ridiculous. If anyone has any clue what I did wrong... @JoePsysky maybe?

Damn! I completely forgot about the Corvette! I can't remember what, something happened and I wasn't able to work in the Corvette for some time. But after that, I completely forgot about it. I'm sorry James (any maybe anyone who was waiting/hoping for instructions) I'll see if I find the time to (try to) finish the instructions in the coming weeks. The LDraw model was near complete except for the doors.

Ok, the updated instructions will take a little longer. My LDraw file is a mess, which made updating a little more difficult than I first anticipated, but most of the work is done regarding that. The thing that's mostly in the way now is a bug in LPub3D I'll have to find a way to work around it, because I'm not expecting an update soon. It's probably not that much work, but I don't have a lot of time this weekend.

Well, maybe there will be 6 more small blue Technic pins. I'm not sure if only the instructions were missing those or the parts list as well. And apparently 8x round LBG tiles instead of 8 LBG jumper plates. But, other than that nothing as far as I know.

In other news, I'm preparing a new version of the instructions with a few minor fixes and (maybe) a little higher image quality. Nothing major, but figured I'd let you guys know anyway. I expect it to be ready around Friday/Saturday.

The easiest way is by going to the model-page of the AT-AT on Rebrickable, then selecting the tab 'Buy Parts' (under the video) and then pressing the button 'Add Parts to BrickLink Wanted List' (make sure your browser isn't blocking the pop-up). Then follow the instructions in the pop-up. If that for whatever reason doesn't work, you can do it manually by going to the 'Inventory' tab and selecting the button 'Export Parts' and then choose the BrickLink XML format. Then go to Bricklink and manually upload the parts into a wanted list. Hope that helps

Is this 100% sure? No chance these things will be available at other stores like Amazon? I was hoping they'd be available outside of Lego so my chances for some good deals would be a bit higher Btw, your Brickheadz images are very nice. Especially the last ones

You're keeping it really it up to date with the newest (unofficial) parts

There's quite an easy solution for this. LPub3D uses its own parts libraries. Don't ask me why, but @bootknuckle probably knows the reason. That means that when you change your own library, you also have to change LPub3D's one. Anyway, go to the following location: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\LPub3D Software\LPub3D\libraries I recommend you to download a copy of the newest official parts library and replace the current complete.zip with the new library, I believe the included one is outdated (but not 100% sure). Besides that, you can place all your new unofficial files in the lpub3dldrawunf.zip. Or, you could download all current unofficial files and, again, replace the whole zip (make sure the name stays the same). Hope that helps

Kinda random, but I just noticed that Star Wars set 75172 comes with an LBG 11L axle. I think that's a lot better than only the yellow we've had so far.

That battery box doesn't have a battery. You have to put 6 of your own AAA batteries in there. This one comes with a built-in rechargeable battery (that can't be replaced), but it's more expensive and you have to buy the charger separately. Although, I got mine for like €20 when there was a price error at Lego and I got a cheap charger from China. But, the DB11 is designed for the non-rechargeable version.

Well, the battery box has a tiny structural function as in, the corner of the bottom of the dashboard is attached to it

At last... An index update. For a long time, I though it was impossible because the forum upgrade removed the ability to use bbcode. However, Calabar mentioned that bbcode conversion still (kinda) works, so I decided to try it. Well, it didn't work 100% well. But, the index is at least usable (for the moment).

The continued step numbering is actually something I suggested a little while ago to the author of LPub3D too. It's not possible at the moment, but back then he said it might be in a future update. So, for now I think there's not much you can do

I just finished the hatchback. I made some slight color alterations, because the original color-scheme was a little too 'rainbow' for my taste. It performs wonderfully smooth. Driving it was just as fun as I imagined. Really recommended creation. And thanks @Madoca 1977 for the instructions
