It's neat to see how long multiple Maersk sets together look. I could visualize it n my head. I too have bought multiple for the reason, but can't assemble them yet. How come you sold off 3 of the wagons? I doubt I will sell off my extra engines, but wouldn't dream of selling off the cargo or wagons. Probably couldn't part with the shunter truck

Very nice MOC Ezechielle. A simple yet very creative build. Excellent work, I hope to see more of these types of creations

A Few small BL orders and an eBay lot of 3 city figs

Excellent work creating this Sergio! This is very lovely and so detailed! You definitely captured a rustic look of an out-of-the-way town. I like the colors of the lime, white, and dark orange SUV, Could you post a close up of it? Great job on this

Great work Dakar A! They are getting better and better. Much more detail here, I like what you've done with the interiors. The red appliances are very retro-looking. Keep up the fine work

That is one HUGE heli you designed and built. It looks great, very realistic. The added PF is a great addition, as well as, the ground support. Very nice work here, Plastkiman

More great trucks you've created! I'm glad you revised the ladder truck. Now the driver can see much better. It seems as if your upcoming city will be well prepared for any emergency. Keep up the great work

Great set of emergency vehicles Farnheim! They all look great. My favorites are the two busses. I also like the idea of the "swap body" vehicle

Excellent layout so far! It's great to see a dedicated 4W city! And a very nice back story of Farnheim. It was nice to read. All these classic parts look brand new. I really like the "urban bus" and delivery truck. I can't wait to see the new expansion, as it occurs

When it comes to sets under 500 pieces, I am indifferent to numbered bags. Larger sets, I prefer numbered bags. My dive into modulars made that apparent. At first I thought the numbered bags where making it too easy until I built my first modular, the GG. I spent so much time searching for parts, I could only stand about an hour or less of building per day over three days

Great review, very enlightening. I too, am a little off on the clock faces jutting out, as they do. I would b more impressed if it was given a special more detailed clock face, as well. The old clock is needs an update of a little more detail and this would have been a perfect set for it. Still it is a very nice model

Excellent building jaredchan! I love the interior and how you used white rubber bands for the logo, very creative. This is definitely on par with your other creations! Keep up the fantastic work

I am looking forward to the new horse! I hope it makes it's way to City by 2013. I'm surprised the original made it this long without new features other than updated paint. I always thought of them a bit boorish when it came to play as a child. I seldomly did anything with them other them pose them eating or looking over a fence I too, have no head pieces for, or anything except saddles, for my horses. I am curious as to whether they are independent hind legs or not, as well. They shouldn't have any trouble making them independent, but I feel as if there was another animal or something that had joined legs. I just can't remember what it is

Excellent work as alway andybear@hk! The bus is fantastic and well suited in 8W, very detailed. Using the cars stickers was a very good idea. Also, very nice work on the bus stop. Keep up the great work

My brick order has arrived much sooner than anticipated. I immediately started further assembly on the structure. It is currently at 130 studs long and 8 high and completes a full circle. Thank you for your contributions, Lego Otaku, SNIPE, davee123, Xyver, and Legoman. @Lego Otaku, I did some pricing on 1x1 round bricks and hit a wall when it came to green. Of the estimated 150+ needed, pricing starts at $0.05/pc from single sellers with over 100, in US. If I do go that route, it won't be until May, that I can start orders @SNIPE, Those slope pieces would be great if the smooth ramp was convex rather than concave. I'm not familiar with them to determine how I would attach the green and red stripe. However, I do like the degree of their curvature @davee123 and Xyver, Thank you for the useful info and pics regarding full 1x2 circles. 12-15 circumference is very tight for these bricks. There is no doubt in my mind I would not be able to do that at all, let alone without glue. My first pic above was at 50 studs and barely 1/4 turn. That said I am not sure I will be ruling glue out anyways, as this will be a permanent structure. I had just finished my cylinder base before checking this. Looking at the multicolor example, it looks identical. Even at 130L , it is under moderate stress. If it doesn't have an even stud height all the way around, it buckles due to uneven tension @Legoman, Thank you for sharing your experience on the matter. This model will just be what it is, a permanent structure. I am not too worried about stress and warping and don't plan to reuse these pieces. At most I would consider the whites, but as most are a little discolored, I see no further use. AS for the money, you are absolutely correct, they are cheap. I think I've spent just over $50 and have only received 1/3 of amount ordered. I'll keep you in mind regarding the white ones. As this project is an OCTAN related build, I can't use yellow or blue. I am trying to keep the stress, at most, moderate. At 130L I'm on the limit. I don't think I can get much shorter, especially with a projected height of 24. I my even have to make it a bit longer to make it easier to connect once I have it built up. And no worries on light. None of my Lego has seen light in 15 years... I'm very adamant about that Here are pictures of the structure in it's current standing. As you can see it is quite a large scale: Length 130 Studs Projected Height 24 Studs Full Circle @ 130L Many thanks to all the help and ideas presented so far

Thanks for the ideas & suggestions Lego Otaku, Christoph, and pinioncorp. I am though, trying to keep this as cheap as possible due to it's planned size. I looked into hinge bricks, but alas, they do not come in green and I need green. 1x1 round tile may be the easiest option. JB's looks a little complex and to require many pieces. I have, however, found a reference picture to what I want to build. As you can see HERE, someone, somehow, managed it with staggered 1x2's. I hope this can add a little to my dilemma. I reckon, trial and error is another way to go

Greetings, My question is in regards to building a large cylinder out of 1x2 bricks. A quick brief: I want to build a large fuel storage tank strictly out of 1x2 bricks. I am wanting to know if anyone has experiences with this, what the flex is of the bricks, what circumferential stress they can handle, and what the minimum footprint it will use. I know about adding 1x1 round bricks for a smaller footprint, but I don't want that look. Currently I am amassing the bricks needed, so I am not very far. I have pictures of how far I am below. At 25 bricks wide and light bending tension, it is looking to take up a lot of space. However, I have seen a storage tank built purely out of 1x2's, that's circumference fit within a 32x32 baseplate. Before I try to bend these that tight I'd like to know a bit more and if there are any damaging effects or modifications. Thanks for any help

An eBay lot of 2 8684 Skiers converted to snowboarders, 8805 Snowboarder for $6 and 60% of 7734 Cargo Plane. BLed some parts for the plane and for future MOCs

I enjoy occasionally collecting 1:64 Hotwheels and Matchbox and 1:18 Maisto and Burago cars (less so). I was much more into them when I was young teen and earlier. About once a year I get out my model paints and add details to the HW & MB cars (i.e. custom color wheels, paint engines, interiors, bottom, touch up, etc). I also love tinkering on my actual cars and driving in general. Apart from the game of food and drink, some of my friends and I love mountain biking and skiing, and I am told I'm pretty good at pool and catching fish

Sitting on a gold gray mine with so many of those girder pieces! That looks awesome! What length can is span safely?

Those look ideal for storage. I'm going to forget a file cabinet and head in that direction. Thank for posting them

My April/Easter haul arrived today!

A couple BL orders for 1x2 bricks in Octan colors and 8803 Racecar Driver for $2.36

Fantastic work Bricktrix! A superbly detailed steamer. I watched the video on the mechanics of this running and it is nothing short of amazing! Wonderful job on this and the others

Very nice train markg! The bunnies look great! Is that the Stig's getting into Easter spirit? You and your kids did a great job
