Hello there! The brand is Alutec and I bought them at Conrad, see link: https://www.conrad.de/de/sortimentskoffer-set-l-x-b-x-h-322-x-279-x-297-mm-alutec-anzahl-faecher-16-variable-unterteilung-820693.html. The plastic holder for the cases is really usefull with it's handle on top, the cases don't fall out while transporting. But beware: The plastic holder itself is rather flimsy (lots of heavy LEGO pieces might be a no go in the long run) and not intended for stacking them vertically. However, the cases themselves are stackable, so you are not tied to using the holder.

Oh my. This is just awesome! Can you show some detail of the slanted roof, please? I wonder how you've done it.

LEGO makes a non-ABS prototype brick
Capparezza replied to Master_Data's topic in General LEGO Discussion
This is everything, but definitely not a brick (well, at least not a SINGLE brick): Phantom F4-B VF-161 by Carl Greatrix- 38 replies

The LEGO Group takes civil actions against LEPIN
Capparezza replied to CopMike's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Well, this has some tradition with LEPIN... remember "Star Wrns", no? I guess that's partially done to circumvent any lawsuits, too... Err, maybe... but maybe it's just "Engrish"? Who knows... -
I am using these at the moment, have 6 stacks of these. Only used for smaller parts (anything up to 2x3, bricks or plates), they have seperate compartments in different sizes which you can take out of the case and customize the arrangement to your needs. Anything bigger is in big plastic tubs, sorted by color. Or tin boxes that my Twinings tea came in... I'm already out of space and my old Technics parts are still awaiting cleaning and sorting. I need to stop buying ... in hope I can wash and sort everything before storage space in my cellar runs out :D

Modular MOC: Kahuka Lounge Tiki (Juice) Bar
Capparezza replied to Still Raindrop's topic in LEGO Town
Nice idea, lots of details and great mix of parts. It seems that Kahuka needs some waste bins at the back... to hold those spare "Squidward" parts, maybe? -
A LEGO Encyclopedia is in the works...
Capparezza replied to LEGO Historian's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Ok, then I try to buy the online guide as soon as possible. Donauschwäbisch, what the..... Try to exercise that one and thus keep it alive, if possible. It's going to disappear soon, as no one in that area (were Donauschwäbisch originates) is speaking German anymore You could say, that you are a "living relic" then, he he.- 14 replies

Hm, Benguit Gothic is very different. You can test it for yourself here: https://www.azfonts.net/load_font/bengothb.html. Maybe you can try your luck at https://www.reddit.com/r/identifythisfont/, people on this reddit sub are amazing at finding out font names

A LEGO Encyclopedia is in the works...
Capparezza replied to LEGO Historian's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Wusste ja gar nicht, dass du ursprünglich aus Deutschland kommst. Sprichst du noch Deutsch? You've mentioned that your encyclopedia available online will disappear when the books are getting into print production. Any clue when this will happen? I'd love to buy your digital version, but currently I lack the funds to do so. Would be a shame if I'd miss that last opportunity.- 14 replies

Looks damn sexy. Have been following your progress over on DB, the idea of using the Tower Bridge (or at least, most of it) is cool and the tunnel looks OK too. Maybe, if feasible, put the black bricks one or two studs into the back of the tunnel to get a more 3-dimensional look? But I think this is planned to go flat against a wall, so this might not be an option at all...

Jail time? For taking those expensive LEGO sets without buying them, because of the lack of money? Totally possible... I'm currently working in my "new" flat, hoping to move in by end of June or beginning of July (old building, so lots of stuff to repair or replace). So all my plans on working on a small train layout with a couple of MOC buildings are on hold until Fall. It's mostly lack of time and lots of other things running around in my head (and the fact that most of my own LEGO is already packed up in boxes). But I do try to take some time now and then to play a little with my son, sometimes we take out his LEGO and build something.

Custom micro motor adapter
Capparezza replied to msx80's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah, and starting at 15 bucks for a working one... postage NOT included! I dare to guess that the OP's version is much cheaper than that. @msx80 I'd appriciate any info about that small motor. Where is it from? Gutted out from older toys? Or new? What are the specs? -
I've got a lot of those older frames with the metal axle, mostly from early 90ies sets. No rust so far, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'd say: Go for the trains and dump the rest :D (BTW: what do you mean with "railway crossing barrier"?) Welcome to EB and have a good time!

Still wondering if I made a good deal or not... bought the Technic Quad 9392 for 6 Euros, couple missing parts (handle bar, piston and some gears to drive the piston are missing). No instructions, no box. Hmmm...

New apparatus for the Fire Department Farnheim (bunch of pics)
Capparezza replied to Farnheim's topic in LEGO Town
Wow. Just, wow. Incredible detailing. I have been following the progression of your fire vehicles on your blog, pretty impressed what one can accomplish in LEGO -
Hehe, what a great idea. I've been to the Brenta myself, you have selected a wonderful scenery! Nice job on the Drone flight too.
