    I wouldn't be to sure of that myself... Sleaze probably has his fingers in everything!

    Ahh! Well needn't worry! I for one would never judge you on that. You must forgive me if I tend to "ramble". *Chuckles* Little nervous ya see. In all my years I've never sat on the jury bench, and I've never wished to. I tend to look for the best in people, but for a man such as Sleaze Ballaigo... *Shakes head* You'd have to look mighty hard I tell ya. Mighty hard...

    Well would you looky there! I do believe that's about everyone I reckon.

    Oh, pardon me if you don't mind me asking but, what's a "machon"? Well shoot I forgot to introduce myself! My name's Clifford Schauer- but you probably already know me as Clifford your local mailman! *Chuckles*

    While your at it, do a "playing as my sim for 24 hours challenge".

    Yes your Honor, it would seem that way. Now I know we should go into this with an unbiased opinion, but ya see here I'm the mailman. And I've talked to a lot of people who have told me quite a few stories about all the things that man had done. And they ain't good I tell ya that right now!

    I voted Imperial Flagship because, well, its the flagship! It really is the greatest set Lego has ever made for pirates IMHO.
  9. Trekkie99
    Same for me. However it was a tricky decision!

    Oh, hi there folks. Just heard about that crime boss they caught. Sure hope justice is served if the man did all the things they say he did.

    Whoops, my bad sorry. Well hopefully there'll be an uptick in popularity in the future. I'm feeling this is going to be a ton of fun!

    Oh OK! So if someone wanted, they could have 20 slots. I guess It's more a question of whether or not there'll be a large enough turnout in order to fill all the slots. Makes sense.

    Wow, awesome! His monorail concept is pretty straightforward, but his switches are quite a masterpiece! And in turn, hard to copy without instructions. Hopefully he'll accept.

    Cool! Eventually, will future games be able to be expanded to allow more players? Or does it become to much to manage?
  15. Trekkie99
    Well members with at least one game under their belt are prioritized. Soooo....
  16. Trekkie99
    Woo hoo! 12 players!
  17. Trekkie99
    Be interested in joining the new mafia game? As for me, I should be building, but instead I'm replying to this topic, and clicking "refresh" on my topics.
  18. Trekkie99
    1 to go!

    3 more to go...

    Lego is making a fat bike?! Yo that is sick!

    Hey @Robert8! I got some ideas for some CMFs you may like! (1) 70's bicycle racer. Based off the famous racer Eddy Merckx, he would have a white cycling cap with the visor flipped up and a sponsor logo printed on the underneath of the visor (the cap could also be flipped around without obstructing his face). His head would have sideburns and a look of confidence on his face. His torso would be Chima yellow with his sponsor logo on the front and three jersey pockets in back with a wrench sticking out of one of the pockets and a baguette sticking out of another pocket. His arms would be dual molded with Chima yellow on the top part and black hands. His legs would be dual molded with black on top and black printing on his feet for shoes. His sponsor logo would be "Moccio" which is Italian. Its an inside joke for both Lego fans and bicycle enthusiasts. Also, as for accessories he'd have a frame pump. Preferably in black. It would probably be a black 318 bar with chrome printing. (2) Morning guy. This is most likely the dad of the sleepy head character. Sloppy hair. Groggy, slightly unshaved face with a dopey, happy smile. Torso and legs would be printed to have him wear a light blue robe over sweats and a t-shirt. He would also have bunny slippers on. In his hands he would have a #1 DAD coffee cup and a newspaper in the other. It would be cool if the newspaper was rolled up. (Possibly a new mold). Hope you like these!

    Thanks Digger! Yes, the airtanks are two round 1x1 plates with 318 bar hole in the middle. I put the plates back to back, slipped a flexible 318 bar thru the holes and cut the bar to size. I then repeated the process for the second air tank, studded them underneath the neck piece, and then topped the neck piece off with two joystick bases. You could also insert a joystick into one of the bases to make an antenna.

    7000?! Wow! Congratulations! This is a great speeder, and I love how you've tagged the motorcycle part number on your Flickr. I've done the same for some of my monorail pictures by tagging the motor numbers. Hopefully it will become a trend. Thumbs up.
  24. Trekkie99
    Yes, they're 10x10 dishes. Dismounting? Very good question...

    Yes, Masao Hidaka's design is what got me started on monorails in the first place, but afterwards I started thinking of other concepts leading to the two that I've showcased. I have a couple of other ideas (as well as some improvements on preexisting designs) one which worked fairly well until to much weight was added. It functioned like a typical train with rotating bogies. But the cool thing about the function was that the point of origin where the bogie rotated was where the drive axle went and delivered power to the wheel! It was a very simple* but efficient design. So to put it simply, the motor delivered power to the drive axle via bevel gears, and the drive axle traveled down thru the train base to the bogie which then delivered power to the wheel again via bevel gears. The main issue with the design was that for some reason it was necessary to have a sufficient amount of weight (aka the battery box) close to (if not on top of) the drive wheel in order for the monorail to have enough traction once the weight of pushing and pulling cars was added to the mix. This meant design limitations and other things that are to complex to describe in words, and if you know me I'm a perfectionist when it comes to designing these things. So, I wasn't having it. In the end I set the project aside, and haven't thought of it till now. However, now that I've remembered the design, I'll plan on assembling an example of the design so I can show you guys. And in the process, I might solve some preexisting issues. [Want to design your own monorail? Well a word if advice. Keep it simple. The best functioning design will likely be the simplest. Don't unnecessarily over complicate things when designing. (I know I did when I started out ) ]* Cheers.
