I love the green water! What the hell is this brick called? Is it a brick or a tile in trans. green? I have no idea! Great work a the tower! Great details there! Well done!

To all: thank you so much for your positive feedback! I am happy you enjoy my mirkwood forrest. I tried to put as much "action" as possible in the scenes in this dark, mystic forrest.

Yes, the flowers! Well, I tried to find a Lego part for the hundreds of blue butterflies from the scene in the film, when Bilbo reaches the top of the tree to have a look around! @markus1984: finally I am there! ;)

Hi, I am new in this forum for a couple of weeks. So here is my first MOC I will post! Hope you enjoy! I added all 13 dwarfs, 3 times Bilbo Baggins, 3 Mirkwood Spiders, Legolas, Tauriel and 4 Elf-Warriors There are several scenes form the film "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" included in this one MOC, as you can see on my other pictures I took on Flickr!

The waterfall, the animals, the trees, the colors, ... the whole landscape is great! It looks fabulous! I love the elk too! But let me know which parts did you use for the antlers!? Cannot remember these parts in any lego set? Are they brand new?

I love the roof! Fantastic details included in this MOC! Well done! It fits perfectly into the modular buildings series! Very harmonious (do you say it like this in english? I don't really know! Sorry about that!)

Hi and welcome! I love your castle and pirates collection!! Very nice!

Thanks a lot to grim64 and jluckhaupt!

4511 wirh instructions and sticker?! Worth buying it immediately! 4512 with instructions and sticker?! Buy it right now!

Of course I know the prices! And it is definitely too much. But that's the matter if you are interested in 9V trains! You cannot buy them in the store but from my point of view you can build with the 9V ystem much more realistic trains than with the RC system or even the 4,5V system. What I wanted to say with the posting above: if you build up a big collection of 9V trains those two trains (Santa Fe and Crocodile) are nice options to buy - if you got the money! - like everywhere if you are interested in LEGO. If anyone is interested in buying the set 4551, here is my experience: The crocodile I build from my own parts. And I won' t do it again. After I finished the set with all the stickers and instructions it was nearly as expensive as a used complete one on bricklink!

Congratulations for your first train set! 4512 is definitely a great set to start! So next great trains are waiting for you! The amazing santa fe (10020) or the crocodile (4551) as well as the train building set 10183! I am looking forward to hearing from you which trains are your next!! Happy building!

The set 4559 is great! Much better than the 4561 because it is much more playable than this blue train! Apart from that the set 4561 is really boring to build! If you are interested in a huge number of different parts then take the set 4512 with it's green bricks! I love this train! It is similar to the set 4564! But it is much prettier than the yellow train! So as a start up I would recommend the passenger train set 4559 and as a freight train the set 4512! Besides I love the 9V trains! As you said in your posts, there are much more possibilities to build than with the RC trains.

Hi all, my Nickname is kofi and I live near Graz in the southern part of Austria. I am 31 years old. I am registered in an Austrian AFOL Forum for 5 years. And just today I said to myself "It is time to get more international!" So here I am! I have been reading the frontpage of eurobricks for years, and now I want to be part of this community! My favorite themes are The Hobbit and LotR as well as 9V trains and Historical MOCs. Apart from that I am deeply interested in Architecture! Besides I started building my own creations 6 months ago. Here you can see some of my latest creations: Micro Sea Cow (The LEGO Movie) The King's Sepulcher: You watch out all my creations on https://www.flickr.c.../113505120@N03/! So I am looking forward to having a great time in this forum as well as great discussions! Thanks for being part of this community!
