Removing sticky residue from lego
1963maniac replied to Lira_Bricks's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Cotton ball with denatured alcohol or 95-99% rubbing alcohol. Work quickly, whipe the alcohol and adhesive away. BTW this will also remove permanent marker too. -
isopropyl alcohol can change the surface. So, don't soak them very long and use only 70% strength.

Well, if you're the parent, then only buy them what you approve of from TLG. It's simple!

Humanity is going digital. What's wrong with TLG doing so?

What was your first lego set?
1963maniac replied to Chilly_Productions's topic in General LEGO Discussion
For me it all started with 703 from 1961. To that set I added many early sets from the late 50's and early 60-s; sets like: 214, 215, 217, 218 X2, 229, 261, 280 X2, 281, 282, 400, 700. This was when Small Town USA hobby shops could stock small amounts of Lego and had them on their shelves for many years. My relationship with this hobby started in 1963 (before minifigures). -
You might have gotten sick of seeing it on your table, but that is incredibly impressive. The block work on the bridge is simply awesome!! Wonderful Work!!!

1x1 brackets, why don't they fit at their bottom?
1963maniac replied to astyanax's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I think the little stud inside the bottom of the 1x2 plate is a little bit too large for that connection to work. -
Circuit cubes are all bluetooth so an IR receiver is not needed and the battery cube is rechargeable.

Building instructions for HUGE MOC
1963maniac replied to 1963maniac's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Yes, that is why I'm making instructions. But, I think I will only do the special elements and not the whole thing. -
Thanks for all this good information, UltraViolet. Much appreciated. Has anyone used those Znter batteries with a buggy motor vehicle or a vehicle using large tracks or any heavy vehicle?
-
Looking forward to that. Is this what you were talking about?
-
Thanks for the great explanation. Much appreciated!! So, would you please explain the modified PF cable too. (some of us aren't such good electricians)
-
Uh, You sure learned a lot while you were away from Lego all those years! This is brilliant!!!!! Please don't stop. Your children really don't appreciate how great Daddy is! Put this on Lego ideas too, really!

Nice idea, I thought of it too, but it didn't work for me. So, if it works for you please show us how you did it.

1963maniac replied to FriedlS's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks very much for the information!! I'm wanting to get what it looks like you wanted: more power in a lighter weight package (especially for the buggy motor). One question; does the white wire end of the battery connect to a charger? I'm trying to understand this kind of battery better (two wires). I'm also assuming this a LiPo battery. -
Yea, plexiglass is has a prohibitive cost. We were gonna make a plexiglass enclosure for a 3D printer. We're thwarted too. I hope someone out there has a viable solution. I wonder if glass is cheaper for a deep bookshelf.
