  1. Now you've just got to build a Falcon Heavy at the same scale!
  2. I like putting them in a vice and slowly tightening it, and watching the low-quality plastic slowly get squished. But I have also tried burning them and a few other fun, evil things.
  3. This is like what I do to megabloks, but without the hydraulic press.
  4. Well, it looks like our new Korean members have decided to spam General LEGO Discussion.
  5. I keep seeing references to the Rocking Horse spam. Where can I read this fascinating piece of literature?
  6. I like how you used the forced perspective in the scene!
  7. >MANTIS HQ, Aviation Control Department >0700 Hours "So the Mandalakian golfer says to the camel".... "Hi Guys! I'm Alex, the new intern! I'm really excited to work here! I love flying spaceships! How can I help out? Can I do anything?" *Sigh* (Quietly, to self) "Who asked for this new guy?" "Yeah, if you want to be of any help, get us some more coffee." "OK! Great! I love getting people coffee! Did I tell you that I just love working with spaceships?" *Sluuuuuurp....BOOM!* "Gah!" To be continued...
  8. I really like your wall techniques, and the furniture. A great build.
  9. Wow, I am 100% going to try that floor technique.
  10. Tying his rowboat down to the dock, Hector stepped over the icy rocks, and up to the door of his cottage. It wasn't much, but it was home. He supposed a world-class cartographer deserved better, but money said otherwise. He stepped inside, lit a fire, and settled down to another nice evening. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Here is the whole scene:
  11. We've got plenty of that where I am!
  12. Probably not for another few weeks. :( I am away from my LEGO for a while.
  13. It seems that you too use the same map as all the other cartographers...
  14. Where do we state whether or not we are participating in the EGS? Has that started yet?
  15. It's actually a secret cloaking mechanism that makes all the maps look the same to enemies, therefore rendering them useless (yeah, we wish!).
  16. Hector Wolfe, avid sailor, navigator, cartographer, and sometimes mercenary, is pledging his allegiance to her Royal Highness Queen Annetta of Corrington, and will do all in his power to advance her empire. Orphaned as a boy when he lost his parents to a shipwreck, he vowed to make better maps to stop further tragic accidents like this. Here he can be seen in a rowboat with two members of the 5th Light Regiment taking some measurements on the southern shores of Corrington.
  17. As the couple skates around the rink, the man in the Santa outfit sells tickets and cookies, the band plays carols, and the snow falls gently on the town square. Here is the ticket booth: And the band:
  18. I think this is a really great discussion that everyone is having here, and I will just put out my position on Purism: Cutting Parts: No, except things like string and pneumatic hose. Gluing Parts: No Painting Parts: No 3rd Party Parts: Here's where it comes to a bit of a grey area. Using things like Megabloks to replace pieces that LEGO makes is a no. Personally, I am appalled by the poor quality of Megabloks, but I will not use 3rd party pieces for something that LEGO makes, or for a solution that can be made with LEGO. If, however, the 3rd party piece is something that LEGO can not equal with any of its pieces(e.g. SBrick, Brickarms) then I am OK with using it. When people use lots of custom parts however, it seems to me that there is little reason to have any of it be LEGO. For instance, if you wanted to build a high-functioning remote-controlled front end loader, you would not consider LEGO right away as a medium. The reason I would build it in LEGO would be as a challenge, because I would have to build within certain restrictions. If you want your LEGO car to be able to climb over anything and you are willing to modify anything to do it, you might as well just get a proper RC car. In conclusion, these are my personal views. I completely respect anyone who chooses to modify or use 3rd party parts, and I hope we can continue this great discussion.
  19. The angry birds license in my opinion was a mistake. The game is about 3 years past its prime, and almost no one plays it anymore.
  20. I sort of considered it, but it didn't work as well as the gears. The gears actually do not provide much friction.
  21. I think this one should be considered purist, because LEGO's terrible IR system is not something you can make up for with good building skills. It is one piece, and it fits perfectly. No LEGO is harmed in using it.
  22. So will the B model have 6 wheels or will it have two spares?
  23. UPDATE: I actually did some of this a while ago, but I forgot to post pictures. Anyway, here are some more pictures. I redid the front and rear suspension to make the chassis lower and slimmer, and I have started the bodywork. At least for Americans, the grille should be quite recognizable. For those of you who don't recognize it, it is a Ford F-250.
