    This ship looks truly amazing! It dwarfs the Slave II not only by size, but also by looks
  2. Littleworlds
    This looks so lovely evil and massive - and properly steampunky. Love it
  3. Littleworlds
    These look cool! The lighting is incredible. It makes the scene really look like a real-life street. Please more of that!

    So lovely to see a happy Lego-collection rebuilt from the depths of time! Personally I don't mind wear and discolouration either, as long its not too extreme. Some slight yellowing on grey castle or spaceship parts actually adds some texture to a build.
  5. Littleworlds
    Very cool lines. I like it! It looks like proper TIE and has this aggressiveness from the Interceptor Just the cockpit window doesn't really fits though.

    A very good review of a very good set I always loved the look of this siege tower. It just appears authentic, unlike the stuff Lego was throwing at us in the recent castle-waves
  7. Littleworlds
    They look very cool! Sizewise they are fine too. They are steam engines after all. And certainly not bigger than what Lego officially releases, so what
  8. Littleworlds
    I absolutely agree. Sometimes you just have to wait till you find a bigger set, with a minifig you have an eye on, reduced. Its tedious sometimes, but i clearly don't endorse "fantasy" prices. Better wait and focus on something else in the meantime, instead of making a bad deal.

    funny you say that. Its just what they say about the S.E.5a, one of the classic biplanes of word war one (and one of my favs too): So yes, I can live with that comparison

    Your review is really outstanding! Very playful and fun - just like a good Lego set should be More of this please!

    Oh wow - now that you said it, I looked that ship up and it really has some similarities! I was totally unaware of that, haven't watched the prequels in years or paid much attention to the designs in them in general. (What might be the reason for that? ) Lets blame the brutalist-design they have in common for that

    For this build I wanted to combine the classical Ralph McQuarrie desgin with some dieselpunk aesthetics from the 1930s and 40s, giving it an elegantly curved and streamlined look. Just think of the wind-tunnel designed cars and trains – and of course airplanes – of that era. It was also pretty clear to me from the beginning that the only possible colour this fighter can have is red. It just works so well with emphasizing its lines and gives the whole build a vibrant dynamic I wouldn’t have gotten in – say white or grey really. Oh, and my affinity for the biplanes of the great war played quite a role too. So see it as the Red Baron in space basically! I see the landing gear as provisional, so it can be easier put on display (and to make it easier to find a place to land^^) I really want to make it more elegant, while not sacrificing its stability. Sadly there isn't really much space where it is - but I'm sure there will be a decent solution coming up Anyway, apart from that I am very happy with it. It is stury and very swooshable and is a nice display piece For more pictures and musings about its design and stuff feel free to visit my blog!
  13. Littleworlds
    Definitely! Its subtle but gives nice accents

    Thats a seriously epic looking rendering. The roadmaker simply rocks! As for the car: since it is more aristocratic - what about applying some gold on it to break up the wood?
  15. Littleworlds
    This is clearly heresy, but - at least for the TOS-era ships, its damn good looking heresy I'm not impressed at all by the minifigs though and the Enterprise-D looks simply wrong so blocky.
  16. Littleworlds
    They look amazing! I love the slightly mad designs. You really caught the essence of steampunk with them The raw mechanical technic pieces on the roadmaker machine make it looks significantly mean and over-the top - just what you would expect from it! However I would give the car, which is on the far right side on the 2nd picture some more varied colours. Especially the sides. Maybe some added piping?

    I was "fortunate" to at least come out of my dark ages, to the last wave of LOTR sets. I also got a couple of sets from the hobbit, but clearly, in either case it was by far not enough. The LOTR theme had so incredibly lots of potential. The sets were looking great (mostly) and the minifigs were lovely designed and printed. It really should have got the appreciation Star Wars got, but the direct competition with it only knew one winner sadly. Anyway, I sometimes buy smaller sets several times, to increase numbers. More often though I look at bricklink for complete minifigs or pieces to customize something together. Since I'm pretty freestyle with my world building, I'm fine with exotic combinations

    I like the idea of a regular masterpiece edition. It would be a nice treat AFOLs growing up in the 80s and 90s to see their old favourites all poshed up with the possibilities of today's bricks. And as you mentioned, it has been done before with the Imperial Flagship, Benny's Spaceship, the Kingdoms Joust and the Market VIllage, but only as one-offs really. Of course there would be inevitably a number of people who would argue that the improvements ruined the sets, but there will be always someone who complains

    Cool review! Very well written and photographed! it just made me liking the theme a little more, despite the dolls instead of minifigs all this cute evilness really picks a string on me. As for the chocolate and the booze i think she simply likes to treat herself from time to time. Being evil can be quite exhausting! So cheers to her!

    I really did expect the yellow submarine to be chosen. Legorizing the probably most famous band in history (and in a very good looking variant too) is just a winner. I am however surprised by the apollo 11, especially since they explicitly asked for smaller sets in the recent past. Maybe it was saved by being upright? Smaller footprint and all that. A shame that neither the nautilus nor the victorian christmas market made it. The nautilus is just irresistible really. And the market is such an awesome looking set. I would have been fine with a smaller version of it too. Anyway, for the next round i cross my fingers for the fossil museum and the fishing store!

    I absolutely loathe stickers and I'm also pretty bad in applying them. Let's agree on that they don't like me and I don't like them. Printed parts FTW!
  22. Littleworlds
    Simple but elegant! I like it a lot. Looks like it cuts through atmospheres like a lightsaber through... people? Very nice design
  23. Littleworlds
    The new design is certainly a step into the right direction. The old one was quite dated looking and just not up to today's standards. A pity that the pages for the individual stores still look much like before, as well as the stores-list. But maybe that will addressed soon. And yes, there will be always the complainer who wants stuff as they are used to it, even if it has its quirks and limitations, but a more tidy and efficient look is really needed on bricklink. People will get used to it. Important for me is that it isn't a step backwards in terms of usability and accessibility and if there are certain search-features missing now, they better implement them
  24. Littleworlds
    Very good! I think that is the closest you can get to this legendary plane in Minifig scale. Love it!
  25. Littleworlds
    This looks just amazingly realistic! Great work! Also that yellow waterplane reminds me a lot on a certain cartoon series from the 90s
