I would love to see in the next update: - 2790 Steering Gear Holder - 2790a Steering Rack - 3149 Hinge Plate 2 x 4 Thank you.

Congratulations Stephan and thanks for your huge work. Steering arm 4261's pegs do not connect to plate 4263's holes. Same issue with plates 2711, 4262, 4442 and 2719, as far as I know. That kind of connection is required in many Technic sets from the Eighties and the Nineties. All other issues I noticed were solved. Thank you again

Hello Philo, I modified the models according to your suggestions, even though I am quite worried about deleting or modifying existing parts in my database. That may affect my old models and I am not able to maintenance all of them. Maybe there's some different and more convenient procedure to be used. I will be more careful about the models I submit but I hope there are not too many cases like that. Thank you for your help.

I had sort of the same problem in this building: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/141832 and I had to give up trying to make a round dome: finally my roof is a basically a square with round corners. Octagonal builds are quite troublesome in Lego. In a regular octagone (135°) with a 8-stud side the distance between two opposite sides is roughly 21,2 studs, so if you want to connect your building to the ground you'll just have one side connected and seven sides laying on tiles. The model is quite fragile then. Differently you may vary a little the corners and fit the front and back sides at exactly 21 studs one from the other. At least you have two sides connected and you get an acceptable stiffness in your model. That should also help you to create a base for your roof. Your dome is not bad though. On a bigger scale you may be able to fill the empty spaces using proper wing plates.

Very nice creation. You combine SF and humour. The turkey laser-cutting is unbelievable!

Thank you! There are a few more to post. I hope some day I get what I need to build them in real bricks, although some parts do not exist in that color.

Thank you Zoli for being so considerate. After all it is not such a serious matter, Lego official models belong to Lego and it is just great that they share the instructions and let this wonderful forum exist. I enjoy models made in LDD or LDRAW by other users and in return I like that other people enjoy "my" models. I partly consider them "mine" because I spent some time on them and I would not post something that other people spent their time on without quoting them, but this is just my way. PS I never used the word "stolen".

Discussion moved here from the LDD Official Sets topic After reading this I visited that page and found some models (i.e. 7690) that I clearly recognize as made by me for Eurobricks and posted by some other users without any quoting. The parts layout and the brick-built mocks were the same, just minifigures and vehicles were placed differently. Is that ok?

Entry # 22: Twentieth Century Ocean Liners This theme is dedicated to the Passenger Ships that crossed the Seven Seas during the Twentieth Century. Several million people travelled through the Oceans for leisure or for need and these big boats - a sort of floating cities - were an important symbol of the economical and social history of that Age. I loved the "Ferries" theme that Lego released from 1977 to 1999 and I was inspired by those fascinating models and by their plain and classic building style. At first I meant to build the biggest and most famous Twentieth Century Liners but in the Internet I found that many outstanding models - of Titanic, Queen Mary, France, etc. - had been built in real or virtual Lego bricks. So I decided to concentrate on Italian ships - or better ships that were Italian for a while - because they were the ones I knew better and I was told many stories about them. I am not adding historical or technical notes, as anyone can easily search the Internet about them. The boats have been freely interpreted in some details because the photoes sometimes were not so clear, or because I wanted to keep a "theme style". However the proportions have almost been respected. The scale is approx. 1:480. Anyone who wants to build them can serenely expose them on the same shelf. As some of these ships changed company, name, aspect, nationality and usage (Ocean Liners, hospital ships, cruise ships) during their lives, for some sets I found it natural to make another model with the same structure but some visible difference in colour or shape. The nationality is different too. I counted such models as new sets but they may be considered alternative models, as most parts are in common.
