  1. Not to mention Lursa and B'Etor! ... and also Morn.
  2. The oval looks pretty close to the TV Enterprise-D. It is properly ‘oval’!
  3. I have the large scale plastic model kit of the Enterprise D which is 46 cm long. Assuming Lego maintains the size ratio the Lego kit will have the following dimensions: Length 60 cm Height 21 cm Saucer Width 44 cm Saucer Length 36.5 cm Saucer Height at thickest 5 cm; at edge, about a Lego plate Nacelles length 23.5 cm
  4. What is the estimate for the width of the main build? Around 48 studs perhaps? Have to work out how much shelf space to reserve! A great set.
  5. I have the set in hand. It was delivered in error to me in Australia instead of the Rivendell set. I'm returning it to Lego as I value the Rivendell set more; although while it was here I took a few photos to record the event.
  6. Thanks, the Assembly Square mod is described below.
  7. Thanks, I really like the Art Deco features on the facade which provide extra interest to the build Thanks, having the extra space on the interiors provided extra interest.
  8. Thanks, I've had a few Light My Bricks kits, and for me the Treehouse and this Jazz Club kit are fantastic kits and really suit the kits they are based on. Thanks, as mentioned the space I have to work with is awkward, however I'm really pleased with the results. Thanks, I appreciate the comment.
  9. Hi All, My study has shelving built into the walls which are 47 studs wide. This poses a bit of a challenge, as Lego suits more to even numbers with the standard baseplates being 32 and 48 studs wide. I want the Jazz Club to fit to the shelves so bought a second kit, along with mini builds from the Moving Truck GWP, and the Light My Bricks lighting kit. I built the Jazz Club per instructions to get the hang of it and then rebuilt it to a cut down 47x32 baseplate. The Jazz Club has gone from 20 to 30 studs wide, and the Pizzeria has gone from 12 to 17 studs wide. The stud saving from 18 to 17 on the Pizzeria was done by having the column to the left of the door to be 1 column wide rather than 2, it's hardly noticeable. I also changed the outside lights on the Pizzeria as the kit light was too wide for the narrower gap between the awnings. The extra floor space allowed other interior changes; the stage is bigger allowing a 5 piece band including the piano from the Moving Van, the Pizzeria has a table and a jukebox, the Tailor has extra bench space, the balcony in the Manager's office is larger, and the dressing room has an extra couch and more room for the performers to warm up before their gigs. The Light My Bricks kit was typically fiddly, but it suits this set really well, with the flashing lights at the entry and the stained glass windows. The last photo shows the other Modulars I have, with Assembly Square also reconfigured to be 47 studs wide. It was a great project to do.
  10. From measuring based on stud count based on the 6x6 round plate below the body it is around 56 cm / 22 inches high and 72cm / 28 inches long.
  11. The inclusion of two colours for the body is great, you've got two iconic colours, plus you can include some white bricks and reproduce Eddie's Frankenstrat!
  12. We have built-in bookshelves at home which, due to a design quirk, are 47 studs wide. A previous project was to retrofit the 48-wide Assembly Square to 47 studs, and this time after building the Bookshop I had a 15-stud wide gap. To fill it in I turn the Central Perk model into a 15-stud wide Modular as you see here. The MOC was done combining two of the Central Perk sets augmented with what I had around and a trip to a PAB wall. I wanted to keep the style of Central Perk as much as possible so re-used Gunther's Coffee station, the Couch and carpet, and rug and Phoebe's stage. I also added a Lego Art wall on the middle story. It was a bit of a challenge given that Lego is not favoured to odd numbered sizes for builds. For the top floor I had a balcony along with the Music Room. There's no stairs at present, but the gang can climb up the scaffolding until I get some stairs, probably similar to those on the outside of Assembly Square, installed. I'll be putting a lighting kit in as I have with the other modulars. I'm happy with the result thus far, but may refine it in time, perhaps to make the exterior of the middle level a bit more interesting.
  13. Lego Space coin or Ulysses wasn’t available in VIP store when I ordered Discovery this morning (in Australia). Can see space coin now but no Ulysses. Shuttle still available to order at present. By comparison the Porsche and Bonsai were sold out by now on their launches.
  14. Any idea the dimensions of the model when closed? The official description only gives measurements 'when open'.
  15. There may be a solution. There is a review on the Lego Shop by ty28 that includes the following suggestion: Remove the tan piece in front of the holder with the beam and replace with a 2 by 2 plate. The piece holding the grey beam should be moved forward by one 1 by 2 plate. Next, remove the rubber piece in the front. Then add 2, 1 by 2 plates and one 1 by 2 tile stacked and place in front of the holder that used to hold the rubber piece. This way the orange piece should align at 90 degrees, He/She includes a photo of the mechanism with the post. https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/grand-piano-21323 Go to the User Review dated August 16 (or 17 for me in Australia) I haven't tried this but plan to check it out. Thanks to ty28 for posting it there.
