    I couldn't agree more, Flossie! I had a similar thought a while back, and made a digital build of my idea, in July 2017. It's way smaller than SC scale, but the coach is 8 wide. Was gonna submit it on LEGO Ideas, but talked/convinced myself it would get rejected. Was thinking of calling it the 'Gold heist Coach', but even then I thought it was too obvious and would infringe on the 'Mini' IP. Anyway, sorry for going slightly off topic, folks. Hope nobody minds me posting my efforts below:

    Thank you Chakotay! 69 Charger with a big blower, sounds awesome! The Speed Champions one due in 2019 looks fantastic, but I'm curious to see one without wheel-arch extensions. Please post some pics when you're finished.

    Thanks for breaking it down for me, SylvainLS! Had a little go and tried to import a printed head from an official Lego set, but the '?' cube appeared. Not to worry though as it turns out I hadn't selected decorated bricks. The selection of heads isn't as expansive but it'll do.

    Thanks bamsham363! Love the profile of the torque socket wrench pieces, as they're nice and flat. Really like the front added curved piece (same as the back). I gave it a try but unfortunately the torque wrench pieces were too long. Had another little play with it but I'm still not 100% happy with the changes I made. However, the good thing is it now has a front window (kind-of). Another change I made was the front grill. I really liked how it was, but proportionally it was the wrong size, hence the change to something less decorative. I think where it is now is as far as I'm going to take it, (may look at it again at some point). Ultimately though, my little effort here amounts to nothing really, as I checked to see whether the parts are available in turquoise, and about 3 parts don't exist in that colour. So it kind of amounts to nothing. Many apologies MTBingNinja. Here's a couple of pics of what it ended up like anyway:

    No matter how many times it's taken you to design that bit, it was well worth it as it looks awesome! Merry Christmas to you too!

    It's a very inspiring build indeed paupadros! I was referring more so to the green façade. I think it's that, that was making the connection in my head to the old 'Tower records' shop in Birmingham, rather than the interior of the shop itself.

    Thanks bamsham363! Just tried it but unfortunately it doesn't quite fit between the 2 rear frames. Have tried it with a different piece though, and it seems to work. I think the rear of the roof now looks a lot better, but the front, not so much. Still I'm really happy you gave me the solution to the problem, as the driver can now wear a helmet!

    Wow! This is utterly fantastic! My memory is hazy but it kind of reminds me of the 'Tower Records' shop, that used to be in Birmingham city centre (UK), many years ago. Stunning work, paupadros!

    It looks good enough to eat! My favourite carriage has the be the cookie and hot chocolate one. Absolutely awesome!

    That Gasser looks amazing, bamsham363! It really does look like a 55 Belair! Had a little play around in the LDD, but I couldn't really come up with something as convincing as the 2 models above, bamsham363 kindly shared. Sorry MTBingNinja. Have shared a couple of images below, of my take on the car but there's a few concerns.. The main one being the question of the parts existing in the needed colours (haven't checked as yet). The other main concern is, yes the model can fit a mini-figure inside, but unfortunately the space is so tight, that said mini-figure cannot have a hair piece or helmet of any kind. Finally, although everything moves as one part when selected in LDD, I don't know if the model is robust enough, to stand up to the rigor of play in real life.

    Thanks fordtruckin! Glad you like the usage of the boomerang piece. It did have a 1X1 flat circle tile there to begin with, but then I remembered seeing the boomerang in the parts list. Thanks Digger of Bricks! Yeah it's indeed a shame that the parts are limited in the turquoise colour. Really hope in the future Lego expands on the turquoise parts. Thanks AntiZombie and broomhandle! Thanks paupadros! I hear what you're saying. I suppose it does look a bit more complete with them. Will have to go over the model and see whether I can make a revision or two. Thanks MTBingNinja! Would love to get it a bit smoother at the front really, but I'm pleased with the details. Thank you Agent 86! It only exists in digital form at the moment but I hope to build a model of it in real brick, in the new year. Thank you ncx! I looked at the 57 T-Bird as a source of inspiration, but there's definitely a hint of Chevy in there too. Hopefully it passes off nicely as a kind of generic convertible of that period.

    Thanks for the warm welcome, leafan! I hope to get involved in more topics and discussions, though I feel a bit out of my depth with my limited knowledge of Lego. Still, can't think of a better place to learn all about it than here! Thanks for the warm welcome too, Holodoc! It's a great site! So many wonderful MOCs that I've never seen before. And so many in-depth topics about Lego, building techniques, reviews of upcoming stuff etc. It's the ultimate Lego site! A digital contest sounds fantastic! Will keep an eye out for it, in the new year.

    I don't know whether this would be the correct section to post this, but figured it would be okay as it's Sci-Fi themed. I think I could've done a better job on the doors (incorrect opening action), but I may re-visit it at some point in time. Particularly pleased with the castor style hidden wheels though, as it allows the car to move (or spin 360 degrees), just like in the movie. I can't take full credit for the robot though, as I copied it (facial expression), from another MOC i'd seen in the past.

    Here's my most recent MOC. It was inspired by the pink and white car in the Diner set. I know the metalised parts don't exist but I think it would look okay if those parts were white instead. Here's a couple of pics with it in it's current state. I think I prefer it without the wheel-arch pieces TBH, though as a result it loses the wing mirrors and side detail, but I really do think I prefer it that way. Also adjusted some pieces so it now can seat 2 occupants (albeit with one of their arms in the air).

    Wow! I didn't know that. Thank you, fred67 for shedding some light on the situation.

    I'd personally love to see LEGO do some more EXO-Force style sets. Loved the colours they used for those mechs.
  17. Dazzzy
    Wow Nightfall ! Absolutely love your buildings and vehicles! I'm trying to come up with a modular building MOC at the moment, and your work I find very inspiring indeed.

    Hi MTBingNinja, I don't currently have a 55 Belair to show you, but I may have a play around in the LDD this weekend, and see what I can come up with. I've just completed a 50's style car (6 wide), that may also interest you, but until I post 10 comments, I don't think I can show anyone. It's obviously not a Belair and is quite generic of the period rather than an outright representation of a real car, (much like the pink and white car found in the Diner modular set). It's loosely based on the 57 T-Bird.

    Thank you both for the warm welcome, Reaper and dr_spock.

    Hi everyone. I suspect this may be a FAQ, but can someone tell me why whenever I import a minifigure with a printed face from LDD to Stud.io, the face disappears? Thanks

    That Mini Cooper looks amazing! It's a must have, for me.

    10264 Corner Garage

    Dazzzy replied to Rick's topic in LEGO Town

    This looks like a fantastic set, and although it's beyond my budget I'd still love to own it. If I could make one change though (I think some of you have already alluded to this yourselves), it would be to add a partition that seals off the stairwell from the garage. Absolutely love this modular though, this and the Diner modular (another set I'd love to own), has filled me with inspiration to build my own modular style MOC (using LDD). Have just completed a car to go with my MOC that I'm fairly pleased with, but am unable to share a pic of it yet as I'm still a new member. Anyone who likes 50's era cars please be sure to check it out, when I get around to posting it.

    Hi fred67, I'm a new user to the site so please forgive me, but could you please point me in in the right direction of the "LEGO story" (that's assuming there's an existing topic related to it)? Thank you kindly.

    Hi everyone! My name's Daz and I hail from East Anglia in the UK. I'm a 43yr old AFOL but more-so just a casual MOC builder than a full-on LEGO nerd, (my LEGO knowledge isn't that great). I stumbled on/discovered this site from reading a post (clicking on a link), over on the LEGO Ideas site, and after seeing everyone's awesome work on here and the in-depth discussions that take place, I decided to join up. I pretty much build exclusively using the LDD, as I don't currently own that many LEGO bricks. All of my childhood LEGO was given away many decades ago. Fortunately my long term partner still has a few pieces of old LEGO Technic she had from her childhood which she kindly lets me use, and I do occasionally make the odd LEGO and Brick-link purchase when my tight budget allows me to. The most recent LEGO set I own is the Speed Champions Mercedes F1 set, (won it in a competition last year on Rebrick). Prior to that I was given the Speed Champions Mercedes AMG GT3 as a gift, and a third-party (LEGO compatible), roller coaster set, (it was an early development product with questionable quality). Other sets I own date back about a decade ago. I have a couple of cool EXO LEGO sets and a few Bionicles. I also seem to remember purchasing a small LEGO Technic Buggy that had cantiliever steering from the early 00's. Aside from that I have various random pieces of brick, that I pick up from car boot sales from time to time. I hope to grow my brick collection in the future, as although the LDD is a God-send to me, nothing beats working in real brick.
