To each their own. For the MF, I do not see any reason you can't mix non bluish gray with bluish gray. The MF is a dilapidated "hunk of junk". So having mix matched shades of gray is fine.

My friend has a Roland Versa UV printer. I help with his business and this is a side project I did for myself. Going to be eventually replacing all my UCS set data sheets with printed tile and keep the stickered versions in storage.

Very cool! I am BL my 10179 myself. I have 2400 pcs already gathered from my collection of lego. Now to buy the rest. I may get the 3D printed ladders. They look great! I plan on printing the data sheet on a 8x16 tile.

Ok so they are not really UCS. But I custom printed the data sheet image directly onto the 2x4 tile. No more stickers!! The blue turned out a bit darker than expected. Will need to play with CMYK colors.

Yeah I am using scans of the instructions and parts list from Bricklink to make one. It is a bit underwhelming compared to the Tumbler. The biggest pain in the butt is the Hero Factory shield peices used for the hand guards. They are $10 EACH on bricklink!!! and you need 6 of them. My wife managed to get 4 of them used for $6 each. I am using Star Wars battle droid torsos as the foot pedal part rather than buy two more shield pieces.

At my last LUG meeting, I got a set of UCS Tumbler front tires, they came from the recent Technic Dragster set and came in from LUG Support. I was eager to get them so I could start Bricklinking a UCS Bat-Pod to go with my UCS Tumbler. My wife has been helping me order a lot of it on Bricklink along with her orders to build the large Eiffel Tower she is working on. To go with my UCS Bat-Pod I downloaded a custom decal design and printed it directly onto the large tile. My friend and I were testing printing this and we decided to add a layer of gloss to emboss the Bat-Pod image. I am waiting on two more parts orders to complete the Bat-Pod. Edit: The last parts came in today. I just need a couple small pieces but it is 99% done.

Interesting! Thanks

I found these two minifig legs while sorting some lego pieces from my LUG. I do not recognize them. The circles look like registration marks. I am not sure why one set has a number 2 and the other has a number 3 Has anyone else come across these legs before?

Can't wait for the LDD file. The wife wants to make one.

Not much can be done. It was the character development by JJ Abrams for him to look the way he does.

Yeah they look great but not Minifig scale. They look like Ewoks in costume trying to ride a Speeder Bike.

To each To each his own. The gray bothers me on the official Nick Fury as well as the length of the trenchcoat printing. When i think of how Fury looks, he is in all black. Like this picture below. The jacket should go past the knees. But the official one does not.

I was looking at my Kylo Ren and his torso and leg printing are rather non-specific. I grabbed a random Imperial Officer body and put Kylo's helmet on him. Side by side you can see the difference. But alone, there isn't much to Kylo Ren's that is unique for him. Bland TFA Torsos by Nick Chen, on Flickr Here he is on a Blacktron torso. Untitled by Nick Chen, on Flickr

Here you go. Untitled by Nick Chen, on Flickr Yeah it is a bit big. But in some versions of Nick Fury he does have a metallic buckle. I don't mind it that much. The printing of the jacket edge on Hux body looks more accurate as Fury's iconic trench coat. Looking at Fury's body printing, the jacket curves up which looks odd.

Photoshop. Resize them or crop them to fit.

There have been many people who printed their own nose art stickers. There is this thread. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21876&st=0

Here are pics of my modified version. I didnt notice that Vodnik relocated the knob for the pop up chair mechanism. So I had to shift some pieces over to get the side greebling to fit.

Many of the Force Awakens torsos and legs prints are rather bland. They don't seem to pop as they are supposed to be Star Wars uniforms. Well looking at General Hux from the Kylo Ren Shuttle set 75104, his torso and legs look like they could be an alternate body for Nick Fury. So similar . . . by Nick Chen, on Flickr And here he is with Nick Fury's head. Who wore it best? by Nick Chen, on Flickr

Neck brackets.

I copied Vodnik's concept and extended my Transport. I just extended the cabin by 4 studs. So you need a plate to extend the floor and roof. Then you need bricks for the walls. You may want to get more slopes and 1x2 to continue the style inside the cabin. You also need 2x4 plates for the side greebling. Oh and some more 2x4 tile in lbg

As I was trying to make a First Order Transporter Costume for my FO StormTrooper, I ended up making it into a Micro Transporter and then changing it into a costume.

I had to change the orientation of the plates to attach to the neck bracket. First Order Transporter Costume by solscud, on Flickr First Order Transporter Costume by solscud, on Flickr

Too easy. Lol

In the rumor thread where else?

Added a couple new creations. Snow Speeder and Speederbike.
