    Modded the JP gates; Expanded the base outward and rebuilt it to look more like dirt (the original is also in reddish brown, which matched the gates and isn't accurate to the film). I also made it so the tire tracks are 8 studs apart as my next project is going to be building a custom Explorer for myself. Added more diverse foliage and to the base as a result and a little easter egg; Fully enclosed the back to match the front as I thought the mini-scenes were silly and ugly. I had to rebuild the structure for this, including running technic beams up the hollow inside for strength. And, this is very minor tho, I fixed the placement of the torches on the front. In the official set they are no where near the proper positioning, and literally all it took to fix this was flipping a couple of tiles and replacement them. I have no idea why the original set is so wrong. The only thing I'm not 100% on is my new solution for the track the cars run on as its a bit simplistic and plain compared to the official set, but the parts to emulate that method don't exist in dark tan and I was getting pretty bored by this point so;

    I'm trying to track down a blog I found about a year ago of someone who was modding the gate from T-Rex rampage and chronicling the progress. Does anyone have this?

    Maybe the Creator Expert cara are going to start alternating between a film or TV set and a regular licensed car? James Bond two years ago and now this?

    Is there some trick to preventing the entire body from being loose against the wings? It rocks side to side on my model and often pings off the engine intakes.
  5. PriorMarcus
    Here you go. The biggest change that wasn't just a colour swap is the engine, which I built in reverse practically so that the dark tan curved bricks could be at the front. I built the other engine to match too.

    Here is my progress on a white and red Red Five. Made some modifications to the wings to allow me to use the printed pieces that came with the older sets. Added lots of changed colour panels to the model work, including a mod to the side of the nose so that the red striping would be a consistent height on the model. I've also modded the top engines so that I could get the dark tan into the right one. For the most part this is as screen accurate as I can make it so far, though I am going to Bricklink some more pieces and make the nose in white. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    It's okay. I fixed it. The problem was I jumped the gun and put the pilot in before construction was finished. I figured this would be easier but it turns out until you install the technical t-shaped piece at the rear the seat module has a tendency to bend upwards and thusly a pilot won't fit. So really it was never an issue.
  8. PriorMarcus
    Do the newer style of Pilot helmets not fit in the cockpit? I've built mine to spec and the windscreen wont close all the way. There is a few millimetre gap all around.

    Here's my MOD of the Hulkbuster UCS set. Hope you all like.

    The doors do still open, yep. Sometimes the blade piece will be pushed up out of place if your not careful but that's easy enough to fix. Minifigs do fit inside, yes. I'll have to take a couple of extra pics to show that off. I did think about using that piece to add some detail to the exhaust, as it's something other builders have done, but after examing the film and replica models there's actually very little texture of them. I'll have to look into your suggestion for the red capacitors.

    It's a non-purist jewlery wire I'm afraid. I did debate taking it off for the photos but decided to keep it included. The model just doesn't look complete, to my eyes, without it. Out of interest, where is it you've been debating it? @jp-30

    Here's a MOC I've been working on. Lots of parts inspired by other MOCs. Feedback welcome.
  13. PriorMarcus
    I'd love a parts list for all the additional parts chubbybots used for his full mod. I might try and work one up in the next month or so but I doubt I'll have the time.
  14. PriorMarcus
    Well at the moment I have the air filter in the space where more shelves and detail would go. I'm 50/50 on removing it and having more storage space and detail there.

    Hi guys. I've been meaning to do this for ages. Here's the Friends Hot Dog Van modded to work in a City layout. Pretty self explanatory. Eventually I want to make some furniture that can be stored on the roof and taken down once the van is in location but I'm running low on parts for that. Any feedback or suggestions would be great.
  16. PriorMarcus
    Do you have any visuals of these? I'd love to see what competitors are doing.
  17. PriorMarcus
    Thanks man! You're actually a big influence on me and my city vehicles. My trains are going to be 8-wide, so in that sense the bus will be a little large, but my plan is to hide this by keeping them far apart in my city so you simply don't notice. I actually tried for a 7-wide solution in keeping with your scale but just wasn't happy with the compromises I had to make for the interior and windowscreen. The door is, yep, less than ideal. I've been considering going back and brick building one that can open more accurately but I'm just not sure it'll look as good. The one now is visually at least close to the real thing. Aside from some modifications I made to the Ecto-1, the Palace Cinema and a side alley for my modular city this is the first major mod I've made so overall I'm happy with it.

    So... I finished my modification of the bus from 60154. I'm really happy with it. It's based off of an Optare Versa which is a really common type of bus in the north of England. It's 8-studs wide which is a little bigger than I wanted it to be, but given the parts usage was unavoidable. The entire front is built upside down and held in with friction, but seeing as this is a static display model I'm okay with that. I tried a few different ways to change the direction of the studs and connect it but none of them worked out with the space and alignment that I have. It's got a full, though simplistic, interior. The original set basically had nothing inside of it, so this is a huge step up in my mind. It seats 11 mini-figs and one driver. Would love some thoughts and any suggestions for improvements that people might have.

    How much did the UCS one cost you?
  20. PriorMarcus
    Hi Wesley, would it be possible for you to repost the file? It's no longer available and I've just finished parting this out ready to build but lost my digital copy. Thanks.

    Hela's helmet in the film is symbiote technology. It can move independently of her and be a weapon by itself. When she's in full battle mode with it on it covers more of her face than we see here.
  22. PriorMarcus
    Both ends of the arm are thicker at the end to stop it sliding through all the way. if you look at the gold printed end of the arm you can see the increase in size. the opposite end is the same.
  23. PriorMarcus
    You'd have to cut the existing arm to remove them.
  24. PriorMarcus
    It's one long tube, you can pull it through her body on either side to make one arm longer or shorter than the other. The hand piece just clips over the normal hand.

    Faking that image would be trivial for someone with even a basic grasp of image editing, and the details are all wrong. No brick bank. Also, I'm not sure if this has been pointed out, but it's made in the graphic style of the old Lego website splash pages, not the newer ones. That website would've been in development for close to a year before the public saw it, bit internally all of the promotional material would've been designed with it in mind.
