    Hi all, Oh what a day. What a lovely day! ]
  2. PaddyBricksplitter
    Thats a good job getting all those builds from a few sets. The look great too.
  3. PaddyBricksplitter
    Wow they all look fantastic. Like official Lego products.

    Thanks for sharing your story and your great moc with us. I am sorry for your loss. I myself had a serious illness though fortunately I made it through. I understand how these things are big and scary, how it effects your loved ones. Especially when it happens to someone who is young. Family and friends all feel so helpless and shocked. Then angry and sad. And no, it's not fair. I take comfort in the symbol of the comma you described. Nothing ever really stays the same or ends. That's not a negative thing. Like a comma. A pause in life. Time needed to think and take stock of events and try to figure out how to begin to move forward again. I found that Lego helped me to get through some very hard times. A distraction, something else to concentrate on. It's a small and silly thing but it can be one little piece of building a solution for going forward. I really like the whole ship design and you have used some interesting construction techniques there. Well done.

    With the moc and the photoshopping this is really visually appealing. I don't usually like to much PS but this works. I have always been a Wipeout fan this captures the feel of that style of game perfectly.

    Thanks, feel free to join in, there's lots of combinations you could do with your mini figs all you need is some clouds and a guys with wings for the background.
  7. PaddyBricksplitter
    Thanks guys glad you like it. Yeah it's quite pleasing building clouds. What's a line cutter?

    Hey I seen these on Flickr, they are great. Really well built with a good sense of creepy atmosphere. If you do any more I think it would be cool if you tried some lighting tecjniques. Some people use tablets or smart phones to cast coloured shadows on to mocs. I think I will try that sometime myself :)

    Lots of interesting techniques used here. Looks simple but really is not. Well done.

    Hi all. Ever since I got these golden gates I've had this idea in my head. I got the Hawkman minifig recently who had the perfect wings for it so I finally got round to building it. Hope ya like it :D "Hey no cutting in line!"
  11. PaddyBricksplitter
    Very imaginative. Nicely balanced build shape and colour wise. I love all the details like the bag and goggles. Really sells the character as a steam punky adventurer type.
  12. PaddyBricksplitter
    I don't know the source material but it looks great with lots of interesting greebling. Winner!
  13. PaddyBricksplitter
    Thanks for the vote of confidence, too kind :) Thx!
  14. PaddyBricksplitter
    Ha! Great, love the idea. Worked out really well.
  15. PaddyBricksplitter
    Thanks. I've dismantled it all apart from the surfer. There's really not much to in anyway in terms of building. The whole city fitted on to a 48x48 base plate sitting on top of my sock drawer. The buildings in the background are just stacked plates with a few pieces added to make them interesting looking when out of focus. The flying ships are basic builds with pink trans pieces from the pod racer star wars set as the jet trails. They are added to a stack of bricks just out of shot so they look like they are flying. And that's it. I waited until sunset to take the picture and used a book light to illuminate the wall to make it look more like a sky. Thanks. I like her too. She made from Toxikita and the female samurai cmf. Thanks doc.Thanks to all for looking and commenting. Too kind guys :D
  16. PaddyBricksplitter
    Wow really good. Great source material too.
  17. PaddyBricksplitter
    That's impressive. Great sculpting.
  18. PaddyBricksplitter
    Thanks :) The hair piece is from the Friends Hair Salon. Thanks guys I was trying something new with the background and the depth of field effect. I think I'll give it another go sometime.

    Hi all, I did this a while ago, it's part of my Skyboarders theme inspired by Akira and Chopper. Hope ya like it.
  20. PaddyBricksplitter
    Seen this on Flickr. Really nice build.
  21. PaddyBricksplitter
    So good. It's just crammed with details.
  22. PaddyBricksplitter
    Yeah I actually kept the Ghostbusters box and booklet too. It seemed like that's what Lego intended you to do with it when they designed it. I guess ideas sets are designed to be more precious objects than say Chima which is targeted at kids.
  23. PaddyBricksplitter
    No way. Ok so I didn't really get how much of a serious thing collecting sealed sets was when I started this thread. I guess Lego has more types of fans and reasons for getting it as there are ways to combine the bricks. That's pretty cool. I like that idea. So are there well know holy grail sets that collectors want?
  24. PaddyBricksplitter
    Well ya can take it with ya. I just don't see the point stacking loads of boxes and just looking at them. I guess I will never be a collector. I see my parts collection as valuable because of the possibilities for creation the parts afford. Not because of some idea that this or that piece is "rare" and I alone have it. I also see Lego as temporary. No matter how long it's took me to build something I do it in the knowledge that it is only a temporary state. It's gonna come part and be reconfigured as something new. In the end when I finally do croak some lucky kid is gonna have one hell of a lot of fun with the collection.

    But the last 2 times I got totally un boxed 2nd hand Lego they came with hairs attached. One of which I'm sure was human. Have you seen the guys who buy the new sets and sell the set and mini figs separate? I've bought plenty of those sets. But who are these mysterious people?
