  1. great use of mixel joints, for something looking organic without using illegal techniques for once
  2. keep in mind that Lego ideas doesn't allow screen caps of the LDD, it's in their guidelines when you submit a project you can do a render using "LDD to povray"
  3. The LDD file was in my post, 2 posts above yours. Should be easy enough to make it in black. I'm currently working on a walker companion for it, still waiting for some bricks but the body is ready & very sturdy. yeah that piece doesn't exist in transparent, but anyway the idea is that it's all driven by monitors inside, think Ghost in the Shell Next one has a transparent windscreen - hoping it will fit like it does in the LDD.
  4. Thanks, that's what I already knew, it's not part of the known colors and yet there are a couple hundreds for sale - that's what's a bit weird. Plus, a clear light cover doesn't really make sense for its original use (since it doesn't color), so it was probably made to be used as decoration. I've already Bricklink-ordered from Belgium (my country), France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK. So far I've avoided germany because shipping seemed the most expensive, but at the same time it varies a lot according to the seller, and some don't send letters, only packets.
  5. Hello, Because part 58176 (globe with stick) doesn't exist in clear, I'm looking for the very old 4773 light cover, but it appears to be very hard to find in clear. In fact, it's so rare alone in clear that I'm thinking that, in its clear version, it may be a sub-part of another part. I've checked images of bricks with light bulbs and found them in several versions, but it's hard to tell if they have transparent covers, or if they're just the bulbs themselves. Anyone knows where 4773 in clear transparent comes from? The internet doesn't seem to know. Thanks.
  6. Here it is: http://fiastarta.com/SideStuff/Tricopter_Final.lxf Whoever wanna build one, most bricks are easy to find, you will have problems with: -6187 bar handle, getting more rare in light grey -45677 roof, doesn't exist in light grey (maybe this year? It's in the LDD), but looks as good in dark grey -58176 "globes", they don't exist in transparent. However, don't try colored ones, once they're in a hook, you can't take them out. They should be 4773 "globes", but those are VERY old (still findable, though). I've used transparent round tiles here. -(little round tiles that don't exist in dark grey [god knows why], light grey works as well) It's easier to build separately the 9 parts that are hinged together.
  7. Thanks. LXF file here, I find it fun to rotate around it in the LDD. http://fiastarta.com/SideStuff/Outpost.lxf
  8. I don't know if it counts as a MOC if it hasn't been built, this was my first serious try at the LDD (getting back to Lego after over 20 years!). Naively, I used all that was available, thinking I would be able to easily find every brick. Then, trying to, I quickly gave up & moved on to smaller projects with a limited set of bricks. But hey, it exists in 3D. It's some freestyle "castle/pirate/whatever" outpost, it was kinda fun making it destroyed. (a few LDD-to-POVRay converter bugs in this render, some bricks are oriented wrong)
  9. A low-part count tricopter. I'll have to invest time in taking good pics, so for now it's better as a rendering. It's on Lego Ideas. Not that it has a chance to ever reach 10k, but it's still another valuable place to be seen. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/93273 If anyone wanna build one, I'll share the LDD. I made sure to only use parts that I could easily find. The rarest one is the dark grey wedge at the top, & most expensive ones are probably the paint rollers in the cockpit.
  10. Looks really great, nice mix of red & greys, well-balanced shape, excellent
  11. You mean with the base "wings" in light grey? Possibly yes, but it'd make the toes look even thicker. This said, I think the leftmost one looks nice & "chubby", while the rightmost looks the most accurate. I think the 2x2 slopes used on the rightmost, would be a perfect choice for a larger-scale one like Cavegod's, used as full 2x2, as the toes of the original AT-AT are kinda small and nearly squares.
  12. Hello, I like the latest AT-AT and was gonna give him his missing toe, and tested if the feet couldn't be improved. I totally understand the reason for the missing toe, but as an adult I don't care for possible friction or whatever, so I have no problem with 4 toes. I'm suggesting 6 variations, 4 shown on the pic. I think I'm gonna go for the rightmost one, as the toes are thinner. While I liked LEGO's color scheme, dark foor, light toes, it's not bad either with light feet. The rounded 2x2 slopes don't exist as light grey, though, but they exist as 1x2. It's still strongly attached by 2 2x2 disks. The other designs may be slightly more fragile, but not much. The LXF, for those interested: http://fiastarta.com...f/ATAT_Feet.lxf
