Thanks for the constructive feedback, Eilif. I am trying to recreate the vehicle on the right side of the reference picture, because the other one is the "duck", which is already created into a Lego set (River Chase). I tried to make part of the front section look like it was part of the wheel guard, but now that I look at it, its way too long. I'll try to think of a better solution to making those fancy mud guards when improving this MOC. I realized that I was missing the side tire as soon as I was uploading the pictures. It will be easy to move the back tire to the bottom stair on the right side. As for headlights and rear lights, I attempted to incorporate them into the design, but there wasn't really any place for them at the time. I'll try to add them in my next version. I know, I didn't mean for it to appear that way. I was focused on making the front high enough to reach the windshield. Again, I'll work on improving this next time. Thanks, The Alchemyst. All in due time. I'm definitely getting rid of the tan pieces, but I'm not sure about adding a hinge to the windshield. In the reference picture, the windshield appears to be at an angle of only about 30 degrees, so adding a hinge wouldn't change much, and complicate the design. Thanks for the suggestion, though, I really appreciate it.

Very impressive. I love the color scheme and the cartoon-y looking cannons.

You don't say. I like to cook, but I've been told more than once by more than one person that my cooking is terrible. I made home-made french toast at camp once with raw eggs and bread over a wood fire. I never got to cook at camp again. My omelets aren't bad, though. I'd like to get better at cooking.

I said pretty sure, or in other words strongly believe, so speculation. Bad wording on my part, sorry. I have to disagree with you on this one, Svelte (or maybe I'm just wishful ) . They said "is to be discontinued", but not when, and they also said that this was a rumor until confirmed. Half of that SW set list sounds bogus anyway. Just because we haven't heard of any new sets for Indy doesn't mean it won't be continued. It's barely August, and I don't think we've had any other set rumors besides SW (Have we?).

Hello again, I've upgraded my Indiana Jones: River Chase Truck from IJ: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Here's an edited overall shot: Additional shots: Here's the reference shot again (Thanks to Darth Legolas and theraider.net): And the alternate beds: New: Original: Thanks for looking, and there's more on my Flickr.

I'm pretty sure that they meant Indy will end at the end of 2010, just like SB this year. So, yes, I think there will be at least one more wave of Indy.

Noir Mafia Confirmation/General Discussion Thread
JimBee replied to MagPiesRUs's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
16+ posts from me in the day 3 thread alone... It doesn't matter what gender your character is, just as long as you can play the part. Zepher has almost always played a woman until now, for example. -
Yup. I believe this to be true, although it will be sad to see it go so soon. You, Svelte, and some others must have been right in saying that it will have run its course by the time 2010 is over. Even if it does end next year, there's still that year to make the tank, train, and other sets that haven't been made yet.

As far as my experience with that site goes, it is fairly reliable. I had the ARC once, but all of the pieces are mixed up or long gone, so I wouldn't mind seeing another, more stable version at all. Although I wonder why it would be remade at this time, unless it's in a future CW episode. Same with the Tri-Fighter. Why not? It was rumored that the TIE Defender was supposed to be released in 2008, so maybe set designers are getting around to it now. While I would like to have a new one (I never had the chance to get the older versions), I have to agree that it makes little sense to have another one next year, since TESB sets are supposedly the main focus of OT because of the anniversary. So you're not willing to spend 5 extra bucks on a Taun-Taun!? Shame on you! On another note, with all of these SW names among the staff (Darth Hinckley, Commander KimT, ImperialSvelte), I have a feeling that we're being made fun of.

Oh my god, Wisconsin is so horrible! Well since I posted here, I might as well say that I'll be gone for a few days at the end of the month.

Murder on the Emerald Express: Chapter 12
JimBee replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Hooray! Let's ditch these nutcases! *smacks forehead* Hey wait, I have a gun, too. With bullets. But seriously, I was asleep this whole night. If you want to talk about butchers and knives, talk to Kill 'n George over here. And in the meantime, let's get out of this creepy place. I suggest we head to that one path that we skipped. -
Looks interesting, and I'm grateful for the structure section, since I have zero train parts. I'll look forward to this one.

Noir Mafia Confirmation/General Discussion Thread
JimBee replied to MagPiesRUs's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Whew, that was fun. I really enjoyed this, and I'll be sure to sign up for future mafia games. Thanks TinyPies and all who joined. -
Why? Do not trust Shawn. Please... he's tricking you again... don't listen to his lies...
-
I have added up the votes and they stand: Jerry: 10 Shawn: 6 And I have noticed that at the end of the first post, it states that only nine are needed to condemn. Please, make the right decision and keep a loyal townie alive. I need just two more unvotes to stay alive, and we can stop and think about this.
-
Another one added to the Thrash family. Welcome, Honeydew, I hope to see some MOCs from you.
-
There you go. The investigator is to be trusted, and you should stick with his story. Like Shawn said, the investigator is being a coward, and he doesn't know what to believe. Hell, if it was an investigation, why would he/ she take the side of the person they just found guilty? I would like to ask this person to step up and explain themselves. That's the problem. He/ she doesn't even know whether to trust the game's... of life own host or your sneaky, sneaky lies. You have changed the story yet again. You never said that I "blackmailed" anyone, nor did you say anything about the serial numbers on the bills. No, it's called lying. If you were really "collecting evidence" Blackmailing? Now this is getting ridiculous. You can ask any one of the good people who defended me that they are doing this out of their own kind hearts and free will. And where would blackmailing get me, even if I was scum? If I killed them, then I would have nobody to defend me.
-
Wait, I thought you just said that the revolver and money was yours? Ad even if it was mine, what's it doing at your house? Anyone could take their own money, gun, and letter and say that it's someone else's. I know you'd be smart enough to leave it at my house and then tell the real investigator to find the proof, if that was the case. Why do you continue to change the story? To save yourself? I can only hope that some of us have the logic to realize that changing the story means you're a liar. Again, you contradicted yourself and Shawn. This is exactly what Shawn has been doing: having no proof that he is correct, and he's going to need more then just claims to prove that I am scum.
-
Proof? I'll say once again: You have been investigated, and you have been confirmed as scum. You can't deny that, even by saying that the letter was mine, or that the gun was for self-protection. And just because you're part of the FBI doesn't mean you're actually investigator. Just like if my profession was a soldier, I wouldn't necessarily be the killer. No one actually ever accused you of killing anybody. Just because you're scum doesn't mean you're a killer. Everyone must realize now that Shawn is manipulating you. I'll say it one more time: Shawn has been investigated and proven guilty. You can't change the facts here. It's true and Shawn can do nothing to change it, not by falsely accusing anybody or saying anything.
-
This day will end, one way or another. Would you rather help Shawn with his evil plot, or would you like to live? I assure you that if he is left alive, we'll all be dead.
-
How can you trust him at all, when he obviously tricked us all on day two? There is only one, and I know he/ she (I'm not saying which) can be trusted. Really? Then how can you believe Shawn's claims? And why didn't he present this information about the letter before he was accused? So, you're going to believe his false claims when you yourself said that we had no proper evidence to go off of? I must say that is ridiculous. Oh, and if I die today, I can vouch for Artie, Michelle, and Zita. These three believe me, so I can definitely say that they're loyal. I just need one more person to unvote me, please... I am innocent, and Shawn is using lies and deceit to fool you all. Read what I said again, and use logic when considering the whole story.
-
The only one manipulating here is Shawn, and now you? Look, I'm still unsure of you being scum, but you make it seem that way. Maybe Henry was right of accusing you after all. And I'm not trying to bring anyone down with me. Shawn is scum, and I can't believe that some of you are denying that. We heard it right from Father Waters that the good investigator confirmed that Shawn was scum. The money, the gun, the letter... how does that make me scum? Just because Shawn says so? You are all making a huge mistake by voting me off. Are you really going to believe someone who tricked us once already?

Murder on the Emerald Express: Discussion
JimBee replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Same here, sorry about that. Ahem, Ricecracker and I just got mauled by a killing tree! -
Nope. I'm pretty sure there's only one good investigator, unless anyone wants to admit that they are an investigator? Or are you waiting for Shawn to tell you what to say? Hmm? You'll all be making a big mistake if you don't change your votes. Please, I want to help the town, not destroy it. I swear on my own life that Shawn is scum. If you kill him off today, you'll have one less piece of scum in this town. If you vote me off, you'll see that Shawn has tricked you yet again, and we'll all be one step closer to defeat.
-
So now you're just contradicting yourself. Do you or do you not think I'm scum? If you don't, then please show it by unvoting me.
