New Zealand: "Where to find Lego"
AllanSmith replied to Legoman's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
Ordered 2 Maersk train sets from S@H with free shipping . Might order more sets tonight. Edit: I weakened and bought another Maersk train set and the Winter Village Bakery. This free shipping has cost me $NZ 700 -
A yellow dump truck using the nose section from 3221 and the tray from Toy Story 7789. Complete new chassis and side fuel tanks that have a foot step built in. Low cab roof. Enjoy

I originaly built the cab on this truck to be similar to the cab on 7938 Container Truck from the train set. I like my truck cabs to be similar to 3180 Tank Truck so have now lengthened the cab by one stud to provide a foot step.

Hazmat truck built a week ago but photographed today. Designed to carry 4 hazmat suits to the firefighters at the scene of a chemical accident. After a hot day in the hazmat suits theres nothing better than a cold ice cream from the lovely girl in the Mr Whippy truck.

Discuss LDD Extended mode here
AllanSmith replied to Superkalle's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
I have entered ThemeAccess=LDDExtended in the .ini file. I noticed that Themeaccess=LEGOUniverse is still there. Should this be removed? -

Which model is?
AllanSmith replied to Raquel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It is 8280 Fire Engine from 1995. This one is MISB and cost $NZ 109.95. As I am not a Technic collector it will one day be sold off. Edit: As it is Technic maybe this topic should be moved to the correct forum. -
This is a B unit. The engines at each end are called A units. I modified two Sante Fe sets to build the B unit. There are instructions on Railbricks.com to build a B unit. You can watch my video taken in Taupo, New Zealand of the Sante Fe train with A-B-A units.

Farmers have 30% off toys on Thursday only -
After seeing SpacySmoke's Food Truck I was inspired to update my 13 year old 4 stud wide ice cream truck to the current 6 stud wide LEGO design . Using a 30% off discounted 7286 Prisoner Transport as parts I built a new Mr Whippy van. Inside is an ice cream dispenser and 2 cupboards with ice cream cones. Colours are based on this picture Enjoy

6399 Airport Shuttle is my favourite set. I bought it new and it gets used every year at my annual layout display. It looks and goes well for a 21 year old set. I like it so much I bought a second one from an auction site.

New Zealand: "Where to find Lego"
AllanSmith replied to Legoman's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
There is already on Eurobricks info on the dots for all the S3 figs. They are hard to see and in the end I used the feel method. Lower Hutt Toyworld also have 2 cartons at a time to sell. 1 with sealed packets on the counter and 1 under the counter with packets opened. So it was great to give them a list of my wants -

Monthly Mini Model Build Ice Cream Cone
AllanSmith replied to AllanSmith's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Yes but I could not figure out how the white ice cream part went together. Thanks for your help -
I have a limited supply of LEGO in my bedsit apartment which is about the size of a shipping container. So made this Container for Naughty Toys.

Thanks. I will modify your file with these pieces and it should work. -
Why is the 7747 Wind Turbine Transport so unpopular...
AllanSmith replied to medib's topic in LEGO Town
We have a solitary one in the Wellington city suburb of Brooklyn in New Zealand. The Brooklyn wind turbine on Polhill was built by the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand in the early 1990s to test the feasibility of a regional wind farm. Visible from many parts of Wellington, it has been adopted by Brooklyn as its symbol. Click here for picture
