    I need to build a locomotive for my WWII display for our next train show. Does anyone have some inspiration-type photos of a WWII era loco? It seems like there's not a definitive "look" for a WWII loco ...

    Hi, I made this Tannery/Market as part of a collaboration where the idea was to create a medieval version of a Lego modular building. This is loosely based on the Green Grocer modular. Enjoy! Tannery and Market by Trent, on Flickr Tannery and Market 2 by Trent, on Flickr

    This is absolutely jaw-dropping in every way. Congratulations on completing this build. I am in AWE of your skill.

    Incredible! Your stuff always raises the bar.

    Nice! That's a good interpretation.

    Hello, This is a MOC I made as a contest entry for a challenge our LUG had at a show to use only one colour. It's supposed to be the acropolis in Greece. : ) Micro Acropolis by Trent, on Flickr Micro Acropolis II by Trent, on Flickr

    Congratulations! I've been following your progress for a while, and you knocked it out of the park on this one!

    Well hello fellow Reginian! This is the first in what I hope to be a fairly decent size layout of Scarth Street and 12th Avenue. I've started on the Michi/O'Hanlon's/Copper Kettle building and the TD Bank Building is next. I'm struggling to figure out a way to build the twin towers so that they look good with all that glass and the angles. If you're around in late July, you can check them out in person at Brickspo in Moose Jaw!

    Looking good!

    Ah, I was debating which forum to put it in ... mods, feel free to move it.

    Hello all, I built this as the start of a project to build some downtown buildings from my city. Here is the first one based on this: IMG_0749 by Chorduroy, on Flickr IMG_0750 by Chorduroy, on Flickr As always, sorry for the bad pics ... haha! Thanks for checking it out!

    Well, on the original model the headlights were just yellow, so I stuck with that - I agree it would have looked better as a model with actual headlights tho ... haha!

    it is detailed as well. I forgot to take a pic of it, but I will definitely do that when I reconstruct it for our next show in a month's time. I will have to rebuild it a bit as I had to pack quickly and it didn't survive the 2 hour road trip back home very well ...

    Hi everyone, Our LUG just had a show in Saskatoon SK and our building challenge was to create a copy of a Hot Wheels car in Lego. I chose this Mustang because I thought the lines would be fairly easy to recreate. Vehicle building is not my specialty, so this was a stretch for me, but also pretty fun. I'm happy with the front grille and rear taillights, but couldn't figure out a way to make the rear windshield slope look correct. The public voted for their favourite, and I lost by a landslide to Grave Digger (which was wickedly well done by a fellow member and can be seen here: https://flic.kr/p/rhM5zw). No surprise!

    Hey everyone, We just did a train show in Saskatoon, SK and my contribution was this train station/hotel combo. It is loosely based on a hotel made out of an old train station in Tokyo, but it is mostly off the top of my head. There are no interiors, sadly. Check it out!

    Basebrick is the best. Importing from Bricklink is such a huge advantage.

    I have purchased over 750 sets and only had missing pieces in 2. The strangest instance was when I found 2 Creator Ferris Wheels (http://www.basebrick.com/sets.php?s=ferris) on clearance at a local store well after they had been discontinued. In one I was missing an entire bag of pieces, but had a extra (duplicate) bag of other pieces. Lego still replaced all the parts in that bag no questions asked as always. They are fantastic at Customer Service. I really thought they might balk at me saying I was missing 50 plus pieces.

    What a beautiful build! Congrats on such a smashing success!

    Hi all, I'm sure this topic has been covered somewhere, but I just can't find exactly what I'm looking for. So I'm wondering if anyone has a link that shows how to build a reliable and robust PF bogie? I tried looking on YouTube and no luck. And I couldn't find anything specific enough here in TT (I need really simple step-by-step advice ). LDD instructions or a video would be great. I'm absolutely terrible with PF in general. I tried to copy the Railbricks bogie (issue #6 I think?) and had no luck trying to attach a motor to it. I just can't get it to mesh properly. I've never really tried to power anything before, so I'm a complete noob. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's interesting and counter-intuitive that the heavier it is, the better. I honestly have not made any of my locos motorized as of yet. This one was going to be my first attempt. I am loathe to use the PF train motor as I feel it really doesn't look "right". But maybe I just have to ... Back to the drawing board!
