    Thanks @hrdknxbrix!

    Remember: LEGO parts are friends, not food. This is your LEGOLAND Public Service Announcement for the day.

    I'll do you one better: How is Soup? Everyone knows brittle brown tastes like chocolate*. *I'm not responsible if you try this at home, work, school, or anywhere else. Don't be an idiot and go for a Darwin Award - be a smart person and don't eat your Lego! Remember: LEGO parts are friends, not food.

    Nail polish remover / acetone will melt Lego, @ChrisXY. If you're gonna sell it, sell it as is. Otherwise it's bit shady to modify a figure just to sell it.

    Thanks @zephyr1934! Upper management says the station master can just stick his head out the window or walk outside... no renovations at this location happening anytime soon. Thanks! Wouldn't you be mad too if someone messed with your desk clock, @Shiva?

    RE: the haunted house. I don't need it. I don't need it. I definitely don't need it. ....I NEED IT! Also, the Beautiful Horse reminds me of the 'Majestic horse' April Fools prank LEGO did from two years back... well, at least the box of that prank somewhat matches! Anyone else feel the same?

    These looks awful... absolutely awful. I concur with @SpacePolice89: they don't look like construction toys at all.

    I REALLY wish that Cruella's car had been posted or at least leaked... but alas: not yet. I guess I'll have to be patient.

    Thanks @LEGO Train 12 Volts for your kind comment! Thank you @Feuer Zug! The backstory writing is my favorite part of posting models online.

    Picture of the Subway train in question, for those interested. (courtesy of Brickset) I want to buy one copy, then reverse engineer several more cars. I think the Chicago elevated cars (the 2200 series) they used in the film worked in trains consisting of four cars, but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm how many would be used in a typical 'L' train? Thanks in advance!

    The model seen here is originally based upon open-back instructions purchased in 2012 from Brick City Depot. The 'Winter Village Train Station' can be seen here and was first built in real bricks by me in 2017, but then torn apart only three years later in 2020. Well, I regretted that decision to dismantle the model from the moment I did so. Thus, I've rebuilt it using newer techniques and a few modifications. Some examples include (but are not limited to): two new ramps at the ends of the slightly-shorter platform removal of the second story seats have been redesigned vintage Coca-Cola vending machine added new signage, posters, and billboards station master mini-figure new chimney flue Here we see the track side of the station. Two benches are placed outside, and another is inside. Also visible is a chalkboard showing arrival and departure times from this station, along with each train's destination. Here is the street side of the station, with a Coca-Cola machine and a Radiator Springs poster visible. Empty bottles are in the wooden crate next to the soda machine. The inside of the MOC has a waiting room and ticket seller one one side, and a baggage room on the other. Shown here is the passenger waiting room. (yes, the clock is 90 degrees out of place. I didn't realize until after I had made the pictures that it was incorrect compared to the other two clocks) Here we see the baggage room, used for express freight, passenger baggage, and the mail. Two big sliding doors allow for cargo to be loaded onto the platform side, or out the street side and onto a truck. Here's the late 1930's / early '40's era station master of the small town Mount Clutchmore train depot, who I've named named Robert. Robert has seen a lot of changes in his 25 years of railroading. He's seen the Boys go 'Over There' to fight in the trenches, survived the Flu Epidemic of 1918 around when they came home, witnessed the golden years of the Roaring Twenties end with the economic Crash of '29, and saw masses of hoboes riding freights through his town, while sleek streamliners flash by. Now, another war is starting abroad and he's also seeing the diesel-electric locomotives for the first time as well. Simply put: the times keep changing and the calendar marches relentlessly forward. Robert isn't sure what tomorrow will bring, but he's certain the railroad will get us there. That's all I got for this MOC. Thoughts?

    I think the the Biomedia Project has Manta Nui Online Games 1 and 2, but I'm not sure.

    Glad to see you're still alive and kicking! The bridge is really awesome and impressive, plus I'm also pleased to see the atomic engine is still around. (Did you ever get those running issues ironed out with that one?) I hope to see more of your builds around these parts - you are an amazing builder and I always look forward to seeing what you make @Electricsteam!

    No. Give me a movie Fantasticar lego model or give me death! ...ok, maybe not death. Can we settle on me stubbing my toe, knocking into something with my funny bone, or something like that instead? In all seriousness, Galactus looks good. The F4 not so much...
  15. Murdoch17
    I hope somebody MOC's the movie Fantasticar and makes instructions - it would certainly look fantastic next to my 8-wide Incredibile from The Incredibles films! (The Flying bathtub version not so much...)
  16. Murdoch17
    Neat MOC @XG BC! They both look very smart*. (*pun intended)

    Thank you @zephyr1934!
  18. Murdoch17
    Thanks @Feuer Zug, and I agree!

    Welcome to Eurobricks! I can almost guarantee nobody is gonna do all that for free. It is time, effort, energy that almost no one is going to give away. Also, you might want to edit your post and put it into English, as that is the language of Eurobricks. (Just sayin')

    Thanks @Shiva!
  21. Murdoch17
    Thanks, and I'll try to get a comparison shot ASAP!
  22. Murdoch17
    Thanks @Shiva for the kind comment!
  23. Murdoch17
    Agreed. I think a moderator should lock this thread, as it is going nowhere fast. @Jim what do you think?
  24. Murdoch17
    Thanks @Darkkostas25 for the compliment!
  25. Murdoch17
    Thank you! There is probably a special spot in Hell for graffiti artists and vandals, likely right next door to counterfeiters and train robbers. Thanks for the compliment! This is actually the second time it's happened in 15 years... if I remember correctly, the first time was in 2011. Also, are you local to St. Louis? If so, you should check out Gateway LUG!
