  1. Danke. I wanted some action poses and needed a way to hide the stand. Clouds seemed perfect for it.
  2. Stunning build. Plenty of detail all around, from the pallet jack to the new looking payphone. Nice mod of the Red Cargo Train too. The high hood and nose gives it distinct look.
  3. Getting the entire PF package into a tight space in 36 hours is quite the accomplishment. Doing the rest of the locomotive to boot makes it even more impressive. Well done.
  4. I like it. The styling fits and it would be a great addition to the Orient Express.
  5. Great work recreating this iconic DeLorean. Having all three versions is a bonus.
  6. Quite the festive building there. Lots of color and good use of the elven hats for the minidolls.
  7. Gorgeous building. The attention to details is amazing and really makes this creation pop. NPU with the fenders.
  8. Nicely done. I see some interesting custom elements here.
  9. Nice small industrial shunter. Good trick on the louvered panel brackets.
  10. Wonderful work. The additional details and lighting really bring it to life. Glad to hear it is prominently displayed and looked after.
  11. Gorgeous vintage coupe. The yellow works great inside the box and the color shines through the ribbon. NPU with the brick with grill on the sides of the bonnet.
  12. Have you tried the roller bearings to fix the drag issues?
  13. Battle droids and skeletons do count for me because they are built similar to minifigs. Some parts are theoretically interchangeable between them. I'll agree that brick-built figures and small droids aren't minifigs and shouldn't be counted.
  14. The PDSRE benefited from holding onto their first generation jet fighters. Mature second generation designs were available when the air force was ready to buy new aircraft. Caught by the speed bug that afflicted most nations at the time, they purchased a Mach 2 capable fighter from a politically aligned nation, Khorgogt. The Ostry Heavy Industry Salamander Mk II is a single engined, axial flow turbojet powered fighter. Pushing 10,000 lbs of thrust dry, and 13,500 with afterburning, the lightweight Salamander Mk II could reach a top speed of Mach 2.3. Upon actual combat usage, the aircraft were found deficient. The lack of internal fuel and few external hardpoints (only the centreline plumbed for fuel) severely limited their capabilities. The delta wing design also meant they handled like a lorry down low where they often had to operate to survive against surface-to-air missile batteries West Steinovania relied on. Below, we see an early color picture of a PDSRE Salamander Mk II during maneuvers in the 1970s. After a number of years, PDSRE looked to upgrade their aircraft. With a limited budget they could not afford new aircraft. Not finding any nation or company willing to undertake the project, they developed an internal organization to conduct the upgrades. New radar warning receivers in the vertical stabilizer, additional avionics in a dorsal hump, a Doppler radar retrofitted, the ability to carry a targeting pod, and wingtip rails for short-ranged IR missiles were all added to the basic Salamander Mk II. The air-to-ground capabilities were considerably enhanced. A select few have been rebuilt as photo reconnaissance models. Moreover, retired aircraft from other nations were purchased as spare-parts donors. The PDSRE expects to continue flying their Salamander Mk IIs for another decade. Still, they are planning their replacement already. Below is an upgraded Salamander Mk II as seen around 2020. This aircraft is heavily influenced by the Dassault Mirage III series.
  15. Stunning build. The details on your ship are gorgeous. Lift out cabin, good rigging with the real lines, and a bowsprit that is Wow!
  16. Top notch. Great work with the foliage and making it all fit. The dinosaurs poking out give it a mysterious and menacing feel. The coastline is perfect too.
  17. Lovely design. The modular approach to the performance gives this options for multiple disciplines. My mental listening to the song appreciates only having a single flutist on stage.
  18. Lovely Christmas present. As mentioned, the box looks spot on, and the ribbon gives it the festive feel without overdoing it. What vintage model Dodge is in the box?
  19. Powerful bear suit. I like the humorous facial expression it has.
  20. Interesting take on Steampunk. Exquisitely detailed all around. Plenty of mechanization, but with a touch of old world humanity.
  21. Gorgeous blend of Blacktron colors and the organic look of Bionicle. Quite the menacing ship.
  22. Superb design and execution. Steampunk airship meets pirates works great here. I especially like how certain parts are lit, enhancing the visual effect of the entire build.
  23. Wow! The redesign is perfect. I love the colors and it's quite fitting for the theme.
  24. Quite the build. The architecture fits well with the gothic themes, and the play features/Easter eggs are a nice bonus.
