  1. I would try some ABS plumbing glue first. Use a tooth pick to apply and set the pin back into place.
  2. Just a quick tip in case you didnt know this, but if the string is the larger version then you can melt the end of it with a lighter or on a stove element and help keep it from fraying any more.
  3. Here is a picture of one on flickr.
  4. Ah, nice to have a fellow Texan here. I wish I was there now. Its cold here in Canada
  5. Thats very useful. thanks for the tips
  6. Its the same track as rc track but without the metal on top.
  7. Does anyone know how to build the tank part of the water tower. Ive been trying for days. Cant seem to figure it out.
  8. Try http://www.brickfactory.info
  9. Not sure which sets you have but this site might help you out. http://www.brickfact.../set/index.html Just go to your set number and it will pull up the instructions.
  10. sounds like the gear and the rack became out of sinc. youll have to pull off the gear that moves the gear rack and line it straight again like you did when you first built it. try this to start with.
  11. I do this a lot. simply for the fact that i cant afford most of the sets i want. As you mentioned. its always great to get brand new LEGO and the box, but I think that its more fun to build it the way its supposed to be until i cant any more( because of the lack of parts) and then make the set my "own" . In the volvo bucket situation i would try and build one out of lift arms and panels or plates. Thats my two cents.
  12. Very nice! Simple design with a little bit of technique involved, and nice extra features.
  13. Did any one notice that the flags are flying in the wrong direction? A minor detail, just thought id throw that out there. Great looking set though with so many nice pieces and things to play with.
  14. concerning your question about how to get your string to spool up nicely, the cranes i work around have a rod pressing down over the spooled cable so it has no choice but to roll up nice. not sure if that helps or makes any sense. nice crane though.
  15. I think ive seen it done on an old windmill before, but it looks great here as well.
  16. I was wondering what had happened to your story. I found it very odd that it just disappeared one day. Glad to hear your on the road to recovery. Id always look forward to what was going to happen next to wilf and emily was it? They made me laugh. I hope you continue to heal and always have enough energy for LEGO and comics. P.S. your link wont allow me to see your blog, any ideas?
  17. ill let you know next week, mine are suppose to arrive on wednesday
  18. A really nice idea. I too recently made a transformer car and it is harder than it looks to close all the gaps and still allow it to function as a transformer. even harder yet with limited pieces. Great job.
  19. Some of them do in a not so obvious way, their initials are a lot of the time on the licence plate sticker
  20. As long as you didn't receive a confirmation email or letter stating a completed transaction where your payment went though, you should be good to go as far as a canceled transaction.
  21. Thanks for the input and comments fellas. I see your point The_Cook. plus the size of the models would have been larger also and therefore increasing the price more than likely. I guess ill just have to modify the sets to my liking.
  22. I recently bought a bin of LEGO and in it was the complete kings castle set from 1984. The armor shop was also in there as well, and so it made me think, since the kings castle can be added to using all the smaller sets, such as the armor shop and blacksmith shop, why did they use thick base plates on the additions and thin base plates on the castle. Were they meant to be used on the knights castle instead? Just a curios thought. Figured I would throw this out there seeing the classic castle addition by Brickscape, which is very fitting i might add. Any body have any ideas as to why this is?
  23. No problem, good luck, happy bidding!
