    As I said on Flickr, I never understood the placement of the clock. It makes no sense to put it there like they did... It seems like it would always hit engines, no matter the orientation. But your MODs look good @SerperiorBricks!

    The owner of this MOC hasn't been on Eurobricks in nearly a year. I don't think he frequents this site anymore, and as an aside, asking for instructions when they aren't offered or provided already is generally frowned on @White_Wolf.

    Sorry for the late response @Space Coyote, but I've got more progress to show off! All the furnishings for my upcoming MOC. I've been working on it since at least May 5th, and now the furniture is finished, with the modular base's remaining parts are coming tomorrow. The building itself will be ordered in a few weeks.

    I originally built this 103-stud long 1920's Adventurers tramp steam ship from two Adventurers sets: I enlarged the ship from set 5975 - T-Rex Transport and modified it to resemble the vessel from set 5976 - River Expedition. The resulting ship (which is named the Eastern Star) features a lifeboat, steering wheel, and a smokestack plus I have the bridge with removable roof for the top deck of the ship, and captain's quarters for the lower floor. Currently, an ornithopter (inspired by set 70913 - Scarecrow Fearful Face-off) is being transported, as well as a live T-Rex in a cage. The ladders hanging on the side of the lower deck lead the way to the ship's bridge on the upper level. The life boat is also located back here. This T-Rex (from set 6720 - Tyrannosaurus Rex) looks none to happy about being caged! The bridge features a nautical telegraph / engine controls and the wheel. The lower level features the captain's quarters, with a table full of priceless relics and ancient maps... plus a dynamite plunger. NOTES: I built this ship in 2018, added the dinosaur and cage in 2022, and finally got around to taking photos in 2024... sorry for the 6-year long wait! Thoughts?

    @mikey777 If this is in Stud.io, I would suggest asking over on Bricklink's Studio forum, as it's their program and might be a known issue. You'll get a much quicker response on Bricklink as well.

    Thanks @Agent Kallus!

    I hope somebody is compiling a web / chart of everything we're discussing here... it'd be awesome to see it all laid out! Maybe a wall with pictures of the major players, connected with different colored twine?

    I have but one question to ask: Is the baby pig's name Peppa?

    @CloneCommando99 The beacons are lit! LEGO City calls for aid! ...and the Outer Dimension of Galidor shall answer! @Swordy RE, the Maelstrom: I like the way you think!

    This is a modified version of the flying car LOLA from LEGO set 76077 (Detroit Steel Strikes) which is based on a vehicle the Marvel's Agents of Shield TV show. The car in the show is a 1962 Corvette sports car from the C1 generation with flying mode added, probably by Howard Stark. I redid the color scheme a bit, added the correct quad taillights of a Corvette, and strengthened the design everywhere I could using parts not available in 2017. Flying mode activated! The front of LOLA in driving mode. The inside of the car was redone in white to better contrast the red bodywork. The rear of the car. Turning the left and right dark bluish gray knobs 90 degrees folds down the wheels for flight mode. Both left and right doors open and the car seats one figure. Sadly, Agent Coulson is very expensive on Bricklink, so he won't be driving LOLA anytime soon. (although I have a way of making an approximation of him when funds allow) Thoughts?

    But what about the droid attack on the Wookie's? ...wait a second - wrong evil guy controlling a formerly democratic nation, slowly turning it into a despotic empire for his own gain. Sorry about that!

    @Renny The Spaceman 'Some people just want to watch the world burn'. The demolition dummy is one of those people. But don't worry: a new force will rise to stop the Dummy... 'Look! Down by the station! What is it? A steam loco? a maglev? a workman's handcar? NO! It's Super Station Master! Faster than a speeding TGV! More powerful than runaway freight train on a mountain grade! Able to imitate any train's shape in the blink of an eye! It's SUPER STATION MASTER! Once a mild-mannered manager of a lowly branch line railway station, until a chance encounter with a radioactive train ticket turned this simple everyman into SUPER STATION MASTER!'

    @legoturtle what, exactly, does this have to do with Batman, DC, or even this subforum?

    This heavily modified copy of set 31064 (Island Adventures) is now based on a fictional aircraft from the 1930's-set animated Disney TV show 'TailSpin'. Technically it's a Conwing L-16 amphibious seaplane, but it's better known as the Sea Duck, and is piloted by Baloo. This anthropomorphic bear is originally from the 1967 Jungle Book film, and he is not alone in making that transition from the film to small screen, but you'll have to read the show's wiki page for more info as I don't have the space for a full synopsis! Sadly, the plane's pilot, Baloo, isn't possible to make as LEGO doesn't make a bear head in Black. Hopefully someday I will be able to get him built in real life! The rear of the plane. I extended the cargo bay a bit from the original set, and modified the horizontal tail to be stronger and less floppy using technic rods instead of pins. The cockpit roof opens to place a pilot at the controls. The cargo door opens as well. ... and that's all I got. Thoughts? MODS: I wasn't sure where to post this. Move it how you see fit, if you need to.

    The Fortnite sets has been revealed, per Brickset My two cents (first posted on Brickset and relayed here): Personally, I view these sets, especially Peely Bone, as disturbing, strange, uninteresting, and / or horrifying. That banana is going to be chasing me in my nightmares, so thanks LEGO.

    Congrats on making the front page @KolonialbeamterdeMartinez! 'Tis a fine modification you've made of that set!

    Needs a caveman working the levers or sliding down the boom to complete the look. Yabba Dabba Doo!

    Man, those cartoons were violent.... even by 1940's standards. but, if we ever get them as figures (someday, I hope to see a Hannah-Barbera CMF), we can have Tom and Jerry meet their parodies! (Itchy and Scratchy)

    How dare you! PETF* is gonna comes after you for being so cruel to those innocent robots! *People for the Ethical Treatment of Furbies

    Once upon a time, I had almost every single 2001 castle set minus a scant few (Hagrid's Hut comes to mind). I had read the books and knew this was missing from the lineup of challenges. Thank you for filling in the gaps - my inner child can rest easy now! (It always bothered me it was missing...)

    @Clone OPatra can you just lock this thread please? This is getting ridiculous with the baseless rumors some people are spreading.
  24. Murdoch17
    Agreed on best set ever @Darkkostas25! I have a design for an removable endcap segment mostly built in real life that can be placed on one end of the tracks, but it sadly doesn't work like I hoped. Thank you @Feuer Zug!
  25. Murdoch17
    Thanks! I was waiting for those parts to arrive on PAB for several projects since I first spotted them in the Friends mansion set back when it first was reviewed. I hope you find them useful - keep us posted on what you do with them, please!
