28x28 what? studs I would guess, but it could be millimeters, or inches too. that said if you know how large the area is, why do you need help with the plates? quick math says a 16 and a 12 plate would cross that opening but not be supported or connect. I think we need more info

yeah you're probably right Glyn. I thought I was being cute with it but I can see how from your side it's a bit obnoxious. (I removed the image but left the text so as to not confuse things further)

I think the main problem is that while people want to be able to chose sets to get important but non-core characters they also still want May 4th promo to be something that wouldn't have possibly shown up in a set otherwise. Revan although an EU/Legends character was a huge hit over all, as many knew there was no way to get him otherwise and probably never will be. while this trooper is so very close to the ones available already that it feels like Lego said "hey we have way too many troopers lying around lets use that one with the extra pocket and give that out" its because of that vibe people are unhappy. the quality of the figure looks great, just I don't think he should be the years big promo.

Why we need commas: Because “I like cooking, dogs, and kids,” Is not the same as “I like cooking dogs and kids”

No joke, its in the calendar and all I think I'll run over to Wal-Mart tonight and pick up my nearly exclusive trooper and his friends (battle pack) on the plus side I can now happily spend my saved points on more speed champion stuff

The waves of spam rise and fall Frequenting general discussion for all I cannot read the foreign strange text But the admins clean what will be next

that's what I am seeing too

I've been seeing wave after wave, Admin are knocking them out quick, but they just keep coming back

wow took those out fast how many were there 30?

should mount closer to canopy (against the technic beam) hope you like the results

the only problem with that design I can see is what makes it great, the hinges. that would be quite a lot of weight swinging out, and there are few hinge options that might be able to support that.

hints so far: Brother, "out of this world", Joe Morton (my guess was a hint )

Nice to see other SWTOR builds! I've always liked Adno and Gurian mounts, though I prefer the Gurian Storm, and the Adno Saberwasp version. you should try your hand at the Ikas, or maybe a Lergo next

looks good, I like that you gave it working steering. the only change I would make would be to smooth off the roof, less studs and maybe a transition area in front (1x2, 2x2, or 4x2 curved slopes)

best thing I can suggest is find a copy of the instructions, (brickset, and the lego site both should have them) and then go through each car, and count how many pieces are used for each.

Mr. Shark Jr. its your turn

I thought about that too, and the short answer is if I were to leave the SC style and go for a more accurate shape I'd probably want to go as perfect as I can. which would be 8wide, length can stay as is, and the really hard part..... the canopy would need to be lowered another plate down (if at all possible). as a 7 wide you hit the nail on the head, I'm unsure how I could keep the windscreen at its current height and center it. but it if I do solve that... i'll just have to find a solution for the nose as its current design would result in some asymmetrical seams.

I almost can't believe they approved the Catherham! when the Vette died I thought for sure that was the death blow for all large scale cars through ideas. very exciting to see it pass. now the long arduous wait for them to show us the final model.

Oran, might want to double check which thread you are in

Ha1 I forgot about the suitcase, time to find a space to hide that too side note I am considering switching to an 8 wide for this car(real is 78" wide), based on it's current length 8 is actually still a touch narrow (the fenders though would correct the tiny difference) of course though If I do switch it to 8 wide then it wont fit well with the rest of my SC cars oh and the rear tires would need to be much wider than is availableEDIT: this was my 666th post

So I've gone over this car again and quite completely too. I've now changed so much that there is probably only 30% of the original design left of it. from a glance though it is still quite similar. the obvious changes from V1 are to the nose area, its sleeker now, but uses a hinge to achieve the right angle, leaving a small gap just before the canopy. this will also let me use the stickers as they were intended again. also there are now brick built headlights and the fenders have been pushed back for a smoother shape as well. then feeling like taking it a step further i stripped out the rear of the car leaving a nice spare tire cavity. unlike the real car i was able to fit a full size spare, re-shape the frame to more closely represent the tube frame on the real car and added smaller exhaust closer to the real location for this particular car. (exhaust moved around a bit in later years) also you may notice i didnt change the step down rear of the canopy, i chose to keep it due to the shaping of the reference car, which has a similarly steep drop rear of the canopy. *stickers will be added once i am completely satisfied with the shape.* Let me know what you all think of V2, and thanks for looking!

what is this a guessing game for ants! (image is 256 x132, for reference)

the simplest way to invert is with a 2x2 plat with bar, and a 2x2 (or 1x1) plate with clips and flip which ever side needs inverting. can also do this with the small mixel ball joints. these methods aren't as smooth as the old hinge parts you mentioned. but they are effective and parts are readily available. a third option is to build a SNOT structure out of sight and invert that way.
