After way too long, I finally up-dated the Indexes, adding a new ATLANTIS Decals Index in the process. Please, always refer to the Indexes before posting requests for new decals. Thank you.

The ATLANTIS Decals Index This library provides links to all the great Atlantis decals that have been posted in the Minifig Customization Workshop. Some others have been found elsewhere (BrickShelf, Flickr, ...) and put into this library. Just post your Western decals in the Minifig Customisation Workshop, and we'll make sure it gets added to this library. If you want to try making a decal yourself, have a look at our Tutorials section of the Minifig Customisation Index and Guidelines. Enough talking, let’s start with the decals: Non-Diving Suit Female in Purple by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Female in Purple with stitches by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Female in Lime by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Female in Lime with stitches by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Female in Blue by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Female in Blue with stitches by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Male in Lime by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Male in Lime with stitches by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Male in Yellow by NickAb Non-Diving Suit Male in Yellow with stitches by NickAb Diving Suit 1.0 front in Green, Blue, White and Red by Bricksandparts Diving Suit 2.0 front in Green, Blue, White and Red by Bricksandparts Diving Suit Legs by Bricksandparts Shark Warrior torso by Bricksandparts Manta Warrior torso by Bricksandparts Crab Warrior torso in Red by Bricksandparts Barracuda Guardian by Bricksandparts Thanks for sharing your designs! Again, if you need help in using these decals, visit the Minifig Customisation Index. All discussions about the library can be done in this thread. NOTE: This thread will be used for library purposes only. It will be updated regularly, based on the decals normally posted in the MCW threads.

Happy belated Birthday Pandora!

Three new decals just arrived: Kingsley Shacklebolt Yaxley Horace Slughorn

I can't belive it's already been a year since I last up-dated this topic! Anyway, during this summer I did not only get a good tan, but I also spent some time making new Naruto decals. I hope you'll like them Gaara Yellow and Flesh Temari Yellow and Flesh Kankuro Yellow and Flesh Itachi Uchiha Yellow and Flesh Kakashi Hatake Mangekyou Sharingan Yellow and Flesh Konohamaru Yellow and Flesh Sai Yellow and Flesh

Indeed, I converted the current deeplink into a simple link since the photo is way to big as it is. Please re-size your image and/or re-take it so the focus is on the figs. Thank you.

Really nice model, Rick! Very classy I'm sure Fabuland drivers are happy to have it around their streets.

Happy Birthday Phred

Hi robuko, I get it you really liked the comic, which you probably discovered only recently, but your post does not really enrich the discussion and you should have made comment directly to The Penguin via the PM system. For the future, please try not to re-vive years old topic like this. Thank you

This is a very nice MOC, Cecilie. It really fits the Fabuland Croc characters Just, is that a relative of theirs used as a carpet and what seems to be their dinner?

When I read the title 'Exploration over', I was expecting to see aliens busting out to chase human explorers from their world. Then I saw what this thread is really about, so I took the freedom to fix the title The rover has some interesting design elements, like the ball and socket joints that allow a wide range of posability for the wheels.

I merged the two topics.

Hi DLuders, I'd like to remind you what our Member Guidelines say about image size: Would you mind checking you follow these rules when posting pictures? Thank you

Happy Birthday poeple! I wish you to have a great day

I am sad to say this, but I noticed an increasing decline in the quality of posts in this thread. Terms like 'Hello', 'Please' and 'Thank you' are used rarely. Capitalisation is not much loved as well Finally, I adviced many times that people should link to reference material (pictures) in their requests, to help our decals' designers in their task. I would not want to do this, but if posting quality does not improve in the future, we'll have to ingnore those requests not living up to basic forum posting standards. Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.

Indeed this is a major MOC, as you call it. I love all the details you put in it; it really shows the care you invested in this project I cannot comment on all the interiors you made, but the jesters' scene is just great! Would it be possible to see a bird-eye of the whole complex (I checked Flickr but could not find one), or would it be too tricky, given its size?

I really like the feel of this model, very American and very toy-ish. It strongly reminds me of some old toy I had as a kid

I love all the building details in this Ice Cream Shoppe, but the glass sculpture in the fountain is easily my favourite! As said, you managed a perfect fusion between Fabuland and System parts, and the combination of shades makes for a great overall effect

Do you mean you have Greek Mythology decals to post or you'd like to see/request some? In the first case, open a new thread and post them there. In the second case, use the Decal Wish List topic.

Oh well, the original pic looke more grey-ish. It's up-dated now

Here are 6 more: Bill Weasley Battle Blaise Zabini with Face Dean Thomas Battle with Face Ginny Weasley Battle Ginny Weasley Wedding Dress (it is a bit shorter than a minifigs' legs, just like the original) Fred and George Weasley Battle with (worried) Face

You can't fix it yourself. You'll have to wait for Brickshelf moderators to make it public (usually takes a few hours, but can even be days at times).

Welcome folks to my 9th review for the Eurobricks Reviewers Academy. Today I introduce you the 6378 Service Station set. Theme: Classic Town Set name: Service Station Set Number: 6378 Price used: 25.50-90 $, 25-70 Euro Pieces: 283 Minifigures: 2 Year of release: 1986 Links: Peeron, Bricklink and Brickset The Box Front Front of the box is almost a square of 28 x 28.5 centimetres (11.03 x 11.23 inches), just a little higher than the 7307 Flying Mummy Attack. It depicts the Service Station on a fantasized roadside background, with some low ‘hills’ and a blue sky at its back. In my view, it’s a pity the box designers did not take it one little step forward and add a few green lines on the grey stand to match the baseplate’s ones. The set number and LEGOLAND band in the upper left corner, and the LEGO logo in the upper right corner complete the layout (European edition, of course; the North American edition [courtesy of Peeron] had all those additional information about pieces count, age limits and so on, too). Back As typical of those times, the back of the box does not show play features or alternate views of the original set. Instead, it showcases a number of possible alternate builds. It really screams: ‘Free your imagination, and let’s see what you can do with these parts!’ Inside cover This is one of those boxes designed for exposition as much as for storage. It had a lid that covered a plastic window from which the parts would ‘smile’ to the future buyer. Too bad we see too little of this nowadays. Anyway, the Inside cover (or backside of the lid) show a kid enjoying those play features that were not included on the back of the box. Contents Inside The main colour of this set is a bright white, with accents of red and yellow to liven it up. Black, grey and blue complete the palette. Recoloured parts This set includes a couple of re-coloured parts, namely the White Container, Box 2 x 2 x 2 - Solid Studs (found in other 3 sets only) and White Container, Box 2 x 2 x 2 Door with Slot. New pieces The new pieces include the Light Gray Baseplate, Road 32 x 32 Service Station with Green Lines Pattern (exclusive to this set and the 9360 Roadplates and Scenery set), … … the Brick, Round 2 x 2 with Buttons on Black Panel Pattern on Two Sides (found in three other sets only) and the Slope 45 2 x 1 Double with Double 3 Button Black Pattern (common to this set and the 6394 Metro Park & Service Tower only). For those interested, here is a picture of the DSS, courtesy of Bricklink. Minifigures Mechanic (left) – This is a man who loves his job! Always positive, he never gives up until your car is fixed. No broken motors, no flat tyres, no oil stains can brush the smile out of his face. One of my favourite parts in this minifigure, and I believe one of everybody’s favourite parts, is the overall torso, introduced in 1984 and produced until 2005. It really speaks of blue collars and a job well done. Granted, the blue cap and classic smiling face are a bit outdated now that both have been updated, but they are nice additions to anybody’s inventory. Attendant (right) – Probably the Mechanic’s wife, this smiling lady is happy to help you refill, wash your car or buy new parts in the Service Station shop. The Shell torso piece had a long history in LEGO, as it was first introduced in 1978, but was about to make its final appearance, due 1988. The rest of the fig is made of pretty standard parts, from the classic smiling face to the blue legs and the black headgear. The torso pieces do not sport any back-printing, as those appeared some years later. Tools of the trade Even if these are not new parts, I’ll like to spend a few words on the pieces in the above picture. Together with the gasoline pumps we’ll see later, these are the tools our proud minifigures use to earn their meal. Sure, they cannot be compared with the newer mechanic’s tools introduced in 1995, but they have been, for a long time, every kid’s dream in terms of minifig technology, along with those nice shovel, axe and pickaxe pieces we all know. Instructions The cover shows the same picture of the front of the box, plus two additional pics in the lower band. On the right side, we see Mechanic and Attendant talking (unless the lady is going to hit the Mechanic with his wrench…) in the Service Station shop; careful observers will notice that they exchanged torsos and the shop is an alternate build compared to the original model. On the left side, we see the first step of the instructions, classically starting with the minifigs. The back cover shows a composition of views from the original model and the alternate builds. All of these pictures are also available on the box. In this random page we see the set building is pretty straight forward. As typical of the time, there are no pieces call-outs, except for some minor, smallish details. Note how the baseplate design is cut to save space on the page. Building Tow truck Even though it cannot be compared to Mater, this tow truck looks fine and funny to play with, including the open-able hood as well as doors and roof of the cabin. My only complains are the lack of a car to tow, and the fact that, even though the doors are printed, the hood needs a sticker. Talk about inconsistency! Service Station start We start by building the shop and workshop. I love to see how these older sets use a fair number of single pieces instead of panel and BURPs to make a wall. Moving on The windows, roof and furniture complete this part of the set, and we can move on to the… Pumps What would a Service Station be without its gasoline pumps? This isle configuration is very nice and it’s achieved with a limited number of well chosen parts. Very accurate and still playable, this is my favourite touch in the model. Finished set Front The canopy and some minor details complete our set. The colour scheme, the proportions, the overall feel, all in this set makes you feel TLG designers took and actual Shell Service Station and shrunk it to LEGO minifigures’ size! Back As common to almost all sets of the time, as well as a number of current ones, the back of the buildings is open, to allow better playability. Personally, I like this feature more than the removable roof one; as long as the model is meant more for play than exposition, of course. Bonus images Detail of the pumps In this shot we can see abetter detail of one of the pumps. Doesn’t it look just like the real thing? Kudos at TLG for a job well done! Working day Attendant is filling the Tow truck while Mechanic keeps the workshop in perfect order. You must be ready for when emergency calls, or a customer just stops by. Final comments Overall, Design & Colour scheme - 10/10 (A perfect replica of a real life Shell station. What more could I add?) Minifig - 10/10 (They fit their roles perfectly. The torsos are very nice in design and represent a great addition to any Classic Town or City collection.) Parts - 9/10 (Not many new or re-coloured parts in this model, to be sure, but a lot of useful and interesting ones. Moreover, most the new parts included here can be found in only a small number of other sets.) Playability – 10/10 (Along with a good Town Centre, a Train Station or an Airport and an Apartment Building or Residential House, a Service Station is a fundamental part of every Town or City, and the number of interactions one can imagine is probably limitless. Moreover all the little play feature introduced in this model make it look just like a miniature version of a real gas station, boosting its appeal.) Build – 8/10 (Pretty easy and enjoyable, it includes a fair number of nice solutions, like the pumps’ isle.) Price – 10/10 (Quite frankly, I have no idea of the original price of this set, but I was happily surprised to see the price on the secondary market still remains largely affordable in most cases.) Overall: 9.5/10 Excellent As always, questions, comments, and pic requests welcome!
