LEGO Ideas Discussion
ProfSrlojohn replied to The Real Indiana Jones's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'd like to note that in general, the Typewriter, as it stands now before the designer's tinkering, is a very bad set. At least in terms of a replica of a typewriter. It has an odd key set up, it's missing several keys, namely space, tab, shift/a separate key for every uppercase letter, and special characters. Not to mention, it uses Illegal techniques! I don't doubt that the designer's can alter or correct this, but It seems to me like they gave themselves more work than was necessary. -
The Future of Lego Space. (opinions, ideas, discussion)
ProfSrlojohn replied to Trekkie99's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I think it's really a case by case basis, For example, the exo-suit capitalized on the classic space fans (and people like me who had the Master Builder Academy), while the Fishing Store and similar products aimed for people who enjoy Creator, but want something more substantial. Pirates of Barracuda Bay got through thanks to the efforts of the Pirates people. Sokoda's "The Legend of the Bionicle" got through in record time on the backs of the Bionicle fandom, (and oboeshoes viewers). It all depends on who it's aiming at, and if that group has a big enough lego community or subcommunity to break through. (Good advertising helps too, as Sokoda's project proves) -
Minidolls... Action Themes Ideas
ProfSrlojohn replied to Harkonen's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
While I know it's a meant for constraction, this would be interesting to see. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/270f4844-20f9-4910-a0a5-94a687b21f87 It probably could be adapted to minidolls. -
This would be the Train you would want to work from then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_42 He's not a direct copy, but heavily inspired by.

WW2 is a treasure trove of armored train designs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoured_train In addition, something I don't see talked about much is the Railway gun, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_gun

I got it too and..... I don't care for it really. No offense meant to whomever made it, I'm sure you put plenty of time and effort into it. However, I personally don't care for it.
-
The usual reason. lack of parts. I don't own any pre-2001 sets, (and even those are bionicle figures), so I work with what I have.
-
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! There is a reason monorails never caught on.

Today, lovely members of the Eurobricks, I present to you a M:Tron theme MOC! This train was based off of modern diesel locomotives, though not any in particular. Comments and Crits, as always, are welcome and encouraged!
-
Oh man... These are nice... As a long-time player of CNC, I absolutely love these, especially the battlemaster. "You know it is, Mm, mm, Just right, when the flesh FALLS OFF THE BONE! *Maniacal laughter*"

I certainly agree here. I think 90's space might have been the best era of space in my opinion, (and it is merely that, an opinion). There is something about that angular, blocky aesthetic that appeals to me. Along with this sort of feeling of a cold war, particularly between the SP and Blacktron. It kinda feels like both groups are too large to do much to each other, so they sort of tolerate each other, with M:Tron and Futron caught in the middle. Will there have been some highlights since, such as Mars mission, and Life on Mars, none could quite live up to the feel of it to me. Unfortunate, I was born to late for these sets, (august 2001), so I just try to fill the void with mediocre MOCs with the required logo pieces. No, but it's as cool as heck. I like how the space police 3 guy looks like a Nod soldier.

Oh, well... Thanks anyway!

An OLD MOC of mine, yet still one of my favorites. Name: HT-44 "Sledgehammer" Heavy tank Armament: one 120 mm cannon, and twin 10mm auto-cannons in a second turret Description: Aged Heavy tank that is just as effective today as it was 20 years ago. Its Armor is of a Spaced Chobham type, with ERA integrated in. It also has a Sapphire glass windshield for the driver. It has 4 crew members; a commander, a driver, a gunner, and a radio operator. Comments and crits are welcome.

Thanks for the tips. I got the HP train for the wheels mostly, though the red has been nice for M:Ton MOCs. I have plenty of grey. And mitlitary railway equipment doesn't stop at just trains and cars. It also includes railway gun, such as 800mm "Schwerer Gustav" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav As a comparison, a US Sherman tank has a 75 or 76 mm cannon I have LDD, I've seen Stud.io, but I'm not sure about the first one, nor what it has over the others.
-
You got me! Slight inspiration there, as well as the Black hand and the Avatar from Command & Conquer 3. As fro the grasping arm, that's what the other work mechs are for, right? Right? (I'm floundering for an explanation here. )
-
They aren't orange, it's just the lighting. They are of the same trans-neon green as the rest of the pieces. As for the legs and feet, I liked them, but to each his own.
-
I can see how you think that. A spacecraft and a submersible have a very similar operating environment. Both operate in a nearly airless environment, though a submersible has to deal with pressure, while a spacecraft has to deal with lack of substance to propel itself.

Yet another M:Tron MOC. This time of a small 2-man transport! Sorry for the bad background, I didn't feel like pulling out my light box. As usual, more pics in the Jammer. Anyway, thanks for looking, and remember, comments and crits are always welcome!
-
So, how do I play this, and how do i sign up?
-
Trust me, I would if i could. Unfortunately the sellers on bricklink only have one or two, and have a fairly high minimum purchase. (About 300 or so.) Thanks for the criticism though. I appreciate the time you took.
-
Thanks! You can thank the EXO-FORCE Shield Titan and Cyclone Destroyer for the blade shield idea.
-
A trio of MOC's I made a while ago. First, The Harbinger of Shadows. the darkness sends it's harbinger, to warn the light of it's coming More pics in Jammer. The Driver of Shadows The Darkness arrives, driving the light before it Then, as the darkness reaches it's zenith, all your horrors become truth. As always, Comments and Crits are welcome.
-
Yet another M:Tron mech! This one doesn't fit the aesthetic as well, but I like it. The only dedicated combat mech owned by the M:Tron corporation, it was originally designed to defend the corporate headquarters. Due to the increasing threat of Blacktron, these mechs have begun being deployed to high value operations. More pics in the Jammers As always, comments and crits are welcome!

Surprisingly enough, it a lot sturdier than I thought it would be. It's also not just 1 plate, the are a couple long ones hidden underneath, locking it in place. The bogies are trash though. No argument there.
-
Thanks for the help! To be honest, I don't have any preferences at all, and I've already scrapped the HP train for parts. 8 studs I'd guess, judging by the fee models I've made. As for kind of train, no particular kind. I was almost thinking advances warfare kind. Like if war trains became a viable weapons system again, or other such unconventional styles. For track work, I have enough room to put it all out temporarily, but the sets I have don't have quite enough track to make a full circle. I've already realized how careful you have to be not to derail your train from complicated tracks. (Dagblame switches, always lifting them off the rails) I would have bought the newer train sets, but they are a bit too expensive for my minimal college-age budget.
