    How can this be? Cats being slaves to a mouse? Cats serving a mouse? Well... it can. MOC for thought. The king rat 5 by Spiros Geropoulos, on Flickr More on FlickR.

    Thanks Faladrin! This small MOC resumes most of my activities: IT Administrator, photo amateur, LEGO modeler. SG1 by Spiros Geropoulos, on Flickr More on FlickR. Quiz: Can you guess which moc I'm photo shooting (a moc in the moc)?

    George Legoman builds trucks. He needed a display for his builds. So, I built for him a road, in the style of E65. side by Spiros Geropoulos, on Flickr More on FlickR. 65 cm width, 2 m length.

    What we haven't seen from the duel of Vader with Luke on Bespin: when Vader slashed Luke's right hand, he offered him some... treatment (a-la Sith) for the wound. A Hansaplast band (with his photo on it)! Luke: Dad... You slashed my hand! Vader: Shut up, son. Here... Take this. father&son1b by Spiros Geropoulos, on Flickr More on FlickR. MOC inspired by the Star Wars branded Hansaplast bands. I used sets 75110 and 75111 and built the environment to scale (quite large).

    Von-Piano was an orchestra conductor and a composer. He just finished composing his new symphony, after 3 years of hard work. He got out of his house, for a while. Mr Pano was a painter. He went into Von-Piano's house to paint it. He run out of newspapers, to cover the floor (for spills, obviously). Fortunately, there was plenty of paper around, to use. Von-Piano returned home. From that day on, he is know by the name Vono-Piano (vono [pho-no] = murder, in Greek). 2 by Spiros Geropoulos, on Flickr More on FlickR.

    This is an example, how we can use the brick separator as a building element. 45l by Spiros Geropoulos, on Flickr The angle of the Separator gives interesting options for sloped building. On a more abstract level, using the Brick Separator as a building element, is a way of presenting the versatility of LEGO elements (and the LEGO philosophy). We turn something that is designed to separate and destroy, into a creative part that supports builds (instead of tearing them apart). More pics on FlickR. I've also submitted it to LEGO Ideas.

    I'd go for Birds.

    Oh... the Brick Separator does not have to be the "bad guy" of bricks, only separating them. Use it as a LEGO building element. Here's an example: Btw, I've uploaded this on Ideas. If you like it, you know what to do...

    Welcome Vaggelis!

    Can we built it? Will it stand its own weight?

    Not quite. The color still remains black, though not glossy anymore. It is a kind of chemical alteration on the surface. It happened instantly when we sprayed the parts. They were fine before the spraying.

    I need to steal time, to do some mocing.

    I have enough sets and loose parts to: Find it difficult to separate and store them. Moc easily. Compile a complete collection. And yet again... it seems so difficult to find exactly what I need for the next moc. Numbers don't tell much. 500+ sets, Around 180.000 parts. Not enough time to enjoy all of it.

    Everything is useful (and everything is not awesome). Bright green is more oriented to children, while plain green is more AFOL friendly. It's a matter of target groups, for the company. Anyway, the color does not concern me that much. I can always cover the baseplate with whatever I like, if I ever use it. The price does concern me (but that is another story).

    The older separators where not that good in tile removing. I prefer the new ones. And they had no axle remover. As for the quantity, the more we get, the better. They can be used in mocs.

    I think that this thread is similar to this. Maybe a moderator would like to have a look at it. For the record, I always was a fan of Star Wars spaceships. I was collecting them as models when, suddenly, one day I saw this in a store: Well... that was it. I could finally combine my Star Wars love with that old (forgotten) LEGO enjoyment, of making something yourself.

    Never use paintbrushes. They leave tiny scratches. We tried with canned air. At some time, this happened: We can't explain it and it's permanent. So, avoid canned air. The same goes for air compressors too. I tried the softest makeup blush brush I could find. Not antistatic but the kind that gets a hold on particles. This was the most effective solution, because it takes the dust particles with it. You need to clean it all the time, between sweeps. To avoid resettling of the dust on the models, use the blush brush along with a vacuum cleaner. Keep the cleaner hose very close to the brush when you clean and keep your eyes open for parts that separate not to be vacuumed. For models that are heavily dusted, it's easier to dismantle them, wash the parts and build them again.

    I found the same topic here. Shouldn't these two threads merge? By the way, my first set was 386: I still have a few parts from it.

    Useful presentation. Thanks SvenF (and Jaimie).

    It kinda reminds me of Nexo Knights: castle + technology with pirates as an extra. The point that makes it really funny, is Benny. He's always sooo happy, like being in a trance of happiness, no matter what's going on around him.

    I love natural beauty. I think the birds are a set of exquisite delicacy of real life. It connects LEGO building with something that people recognize as "existent", all over the world. It is a set "for the masses" or, to be exact, "for the adult masses". Fictitious ships and characters, are known mostly to fans. Spacecrafts like Hayabusa, although real, are "out of this world". TV shows are known only to countries they broadcast. Sets like the birds, I believe are truly global and they can appeal to practically everyone.

    And yet... I still get to create my own modules, whenever I can't find ready-made exactly what I need. I prefer that, than reusing old code. I'm a software engineer myself. More of a systems engineer for the last 20 years, since I turned into windows server administration and solutions designer. I also teach computer courses to colleges.

    ...you see everything around you quantized in LEGO studs. ...you give a LEGO set to your kid and, a few days later, the set has mysteriously disappeared (but you know where it is).

    It was my love for Star Wars spaceships, combined with this:
