Thanks @aFrInaTi0n. For sure. It's definitely not a critical bug.

@Murdoch17 Thank you. Much appreciated.

I have been experiencing a bug on my profile activity tab and all activity tab. I recently started a new topic "[MOCs] New J. R. Snotly Builds 12/18/25 (includes: X-Wing, Luke's Landspeeder, LAAT, STAP)" but it only shows up when clicking on "see activity" then either "posts" or "topics". It doesn't show up under "activity" or under "see activity" then "all activity". It was likely caused by me trying to edit the new topic immediately after posting it (I was so fast I had to wait 10 seconds before being allowed to post my edit). I have since tried editing the post to see if that would change anything. It does make the topic appear on my profile for a few minutes but then when I recheck later it has disappeared again. To fix it might require an admin to delete the post and for me to start over. I care about this because I don't think people will see my topic (which feature mocs) unless it is naturally displayed on my profile. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

@Daiman and @Robotbikeboy, Thank you both for your kind words.

@Max_Lego Thank you.

Another batch of midi/minifigure scaled custom Star Wars MOCs. This is my second group of builds uploaded to Flickr. - The two Tie Fighters are quite similar, each with a cool back engine. - The AT-ST is extra small with skinny legs but fits up to 3 figs. -The droideka is miscolored but includes all the important bits. Each photo is linked so clicking on it will load the album with additional pictures and info. [05/25][MOC] Tie Fighter [05/25][MOC] AT-ST [05/25][MOC] Droideka [05/25][MOC] Tie Interceptor

@BrickJonas Thank you. Part 18491 is the same length, though doesn't give you the same height without the attachment pins being above the ship. I mostly turned it down because a full figure cannot fit inside it. I'm not the best at hangar mocs, but I've got a finished droideka so maybe.

@Artizan, @Max_Lego, @Daiman, & @LEGO Train 12 Volts Thank you all for the kind words and reception. I agree with the snowspeeder and AT-RT being good quality. I am also happy with the helmet on the N1 starfighter engines. @Artizan On the topic of the non LEGO canopy, Inthert's linked ship is significantly deeper than my design. The throwbot visor used for his canopy front is fairly shallow heightwise making it uncompatible with fitting a figure in this small of ships. A LEGO part version could be 92474 which I think looks adequate enough.

These are the first five albums of my custom Star Wars MOCs uploaded to Flickr. All of these try to emphasize being smaller than the average minifig scale (which I feel is too big generally). I would say they are minifig scale but others might disagree. The last two (N1 & A wing) use a non LEGO canopy as there isn't an official LEGO one small enough. Feel free to ask/comment about any of them, just be sure to specify which one you are referencing. Clicking on an image should take you to each album's page for additional info and images (as long as I linked it right).

First Name: John Handle: J.R. Snotly Info: Age 27 male living in Utah I am a custom MOC designer with builds centered on the Star Wars theme. My intent is to build scaled MOCs that don't feel disproportionately oversized compared to a minifigure but that accommodate functional interiors and cockpits. I enjoy building items of different sizes. Examples include large ships, single fig vehicles, micro/nano scaled ships. I have five MOC's that are designed and ready to share but am waiting for pieces to arrive. I'm also in the process of setting up a Flickr and Sales Page for instructions. I have enjoyed Eurobricks since I made an account as a teen; however, I am officially introducing myself now in preparation to start sharing my builds. LEGO has been a part of my life since my childhood and I am excited to connect with others with a similar brick affinity.

Correct. I’m expecting $50-100 for only a few pieces and don’t want to spend that much. I meant cheap pins as in quality and functionality not price.

Anyone have advice on finding custom produced/non-Lego technic parts and/or making your own? For a while I have wanted to be able to get technic half pins and 3/4 pins but with friction ridges. Since Lego doesn't offer any, I have been trying to find non-Lego or custom options but have struggled to find any. So far I've done deep searches on Aliexpress and Google with no results. I've had some luck contacting sellers on Aliexpress directly and putting in a request for them to produce the piece which I will likely try if I can't find any. I've also looked at options for designing/producing the parts myself. I thought about a resin mold but as the part doesn't currently exist, I feel that would be harder to get exact. I've considered shapeways, but don't fully understand their pricing and fear that it would be quite expensive for cheap pins. Anyway, any and all advice would be appreciated. Also, I'm sorry CrankyCraig but I don't know. It'd be sad if if was no longer being updated. Hopefully someone else knows more.

Somewhat. Its uses do stack up pretty evenly with the boat stud, if not better. Strengthwise, neither are really designed to connect large amounts of weight as neither are able to be reinforced easily or if they are it's from the bottom and at that point you might as just well use a 2x2 round plate. 3679 actually provides stronger stud connections as it doesn't have cut corners like the boat stud. The boat stud could not perform the above pictured connection. 3679's thin nature and possibility to break isn't a big issue as most applications will include less force than the stud connections on 3679, definitely not enough to hurt the piece. Both have thinner edges if you need to avoid some form of overlap though 3679 would be more versatile in this aspect because its thinner at the edges, thinner for a longer distance, and only .8 studs in diameter rather than 1. Both extend .4 studs at their thickest points. 3679's big potential for use comes from the ability to create such thin yet sturdy connections for mostly decorative uses. For example, thin looking connection such as the wings in Inthert's Naboo Starfighter or thin connections in tight spaces like in anothergol's at-st. (the upper two are obvious, but the lower two are a better example of why only 3679 would work) Definitely if you are just looking for this offset it makes most sense to just put it on a larger plate where strength won't be an issue, as long as that fits your model's design.
