    Nice model, Erik! Very realistic for this scale, especially with the articulation and functioning elements. That is some haul that truck is pulling, even with empty trailer hoppers!

    I agree with this. There are much better materials to use for making real objects than LEGO elements. Is the 'LEGO look' worth enough to off-balance the loss of quality in a functioning product that could be made out of metal, wood, fully-formed plastic, clay, etc.? I suppose some of those materials require much more skill and equipment to use than gluing/bolting LEGO parts, but still... To each his own, though. You are free to do as you wish with what you have. The only time glue has come in contact with any of my parts was repairing broken elements from my childhood play.

    Welcome to Eurobricks, Noel! What part of Illinois are you from, if you do not mind sharing? I also am from Illinois. I am looking forward to your presence in the Guilds of Historica, especially once you become a member of the coolest guild, Mitgardia!

    Very nice, Mark of Falworth! Your representation is very true to the original and makes a great picture representing history!

    Welcome to Eurobricks, snowdogs! I am looking forward to seeing your modulars and MOCs, especially your woodland!

    I suppose it depends on how you define "hobby". I will use the definition that it is something I do because I enjoy it, not because it is monetarily profitable. LEGO is my most-devoted hobby. I also like crafts such as woodworking, blacksmithing and other metal work, clay sculpting (especially ocarinas, or chamber flutes), drawing, painting, anything to do with arts and crafts (LEGO is my favorite art and craft medium). One of my biggest passions is music, including singing, writing songs (instrumental and vocal), and instruments (I play piano, ocarina, and bagpipes, used to play trumpet in grade school, and have tinkered with violin, didgeridoo, and about any instument I can get my hands on ). I am not a professional at any of them, but at least I am never bored! And I agree with Jared that learning is always interesting!

    I build mostly Castle in the Historic forum, but I love to see amazing builds from any theme!

    Great series, Kai and Garmadon! I like all of the descriptions, especially since they are perfectly representative of TLG's CMF description style! My favorites are the Serving-man, Cabin Boy, and Bumpkin!

    Welcome to Eurobricks, marvango! That is one huge and nice ferris wheel! I am looking forward to more builds!

    Is the top "textured like the face of a slope" or toothed like a gear rack? Is this the part? Train, track plain rail straight This part is 1x14?, not 2x14, so it may not be the right piece Here is another part I thought of that seems similar to your description: Technic rack 1x20x2/3 This part is also not 2x14, so it also may not be the right piece Nevermind, this part is not available in light gray. A picture would help in identifying the piece.

    Welcome to Eurobricks, zicdragon! I am looking forward to seeing your city and trains layout!

    Welcome to Eurobricks, truebricklove! I am looking forward to seeing your collection and community contributions! Do you mostly build according to instructions or do you build your own creations?

    Great build, SK! The purist in me is glad to hear that those are official LEGO white foliage pieces on the tree. I knew LEGO had made them, but they seem to be pretty rare. The snow looks great, as does the frozen water (especially utilizing trans-clear and trans-light-blue)! I also like the cart with its smooth transitions and realistic shape. Nice parts use for the reins!

    Another set of great builds, Ecc.! I like the style of turrets you use for the battlements! I also like all of the rockwork with foliage covering vast areas. That is an interesting idea using a zip-line/crane for moving goods up and down from the tower. The jagged tips on 'The Boulder' make great battlements! Does the tiled end match up with the other half of the bridge, or is this just a jutting cliff?

    Welcome to Eurobricks, DonLemurejo! I am looking forward to seeing your collection!

    Great build, MKJ! That whimsical face with the comical smile is very nicely built! I also like the beard with the different braids or strands. The axe is very neat, and I wish you had the black pieces in light bley, but you have to deal with parts limitations...

    Nice architecture, Hammerhand! I like the balconies and the pillars, especially the use of the boulder halves for the pillar top and bottom! The cheese slope insets on the floor look great as well. I also like the SNOT-slope steps and the throne. Nice work!
  21. Slegengr
    Excellent build, especially the statue, SarahJoy! The attention to color and balance is very evident in this build. I also like to see fantastical interpretations of real history, and this is no exception! The story is great as well!
  22. Slegengr
    Well-played story, Jorrith! The death brought about by Jorrith is demonstrated very effectively through the different scenes! I am looking forward to the rest of the story!

    Check out the Ottoman Turks and their attack on Constantinople in the 1450's (around what is considered the height of the Medieval or 'Knight in Shining Armor' era, just before the large-scale introduction of gunpowder which caused a rapid decline in the shining armor and causing ancient castles to no longer be a perfectly safe haven).

    The first thought I had would be to turn the smaller brown handle 90 degrees (as a direct extension to the pole) and attach the cheese slope directly to the stud on the side, sloped to represent the leading edge of the crook curve. This would not make a true curve, but would be more to scale. Without trying it myself, I have no idea if this solution would look better than what you did. One idea I had for a shepherd crook was to try to utilize the Indiana Jones whip as the curved end, but this would make a very coiled crook indeed! I do like your solution, as I recognized it right away, and this is something at too small of a scale to build perfectly with only LEGO elements.

    Nice build, mccoyed! I think the riverbank turned out pretty good, especially through the use of angles and color variation. I figured that was a shepherd's crook in Goda's hand, but it is a bit large and "un-curved" for my taste. I would not say not to use it though... I like the simple foliage in the build, especially the small trees. The rickety bridge is nice as well. Looking forward to phase III, mccoyed!
