Rook

Wonder if he had any missing pieces or wrinkled instructions and stickers.

Liking the gap in the wings. I penciled out a gapped wing star fighter two weeks ago to build this spring probably. Glad to see others already inspired with similar ideas.

Ah yes the canon vs. non-canon. OT vs. Preq. Expanded vs. Theatrical. SWU/Space/Sci-Fi over lap so much drawing a distinct line is like trying to prove evolution or creation. The art should fit the desired target. In this case it meets the requirements of a Star Wars based contest so…

Likewise, I have two from Fairview and none from Sherway.

I'm telling you, you make it, I'll wear it. Yeah I'm going to wear my ROOK shirt. The Mrs. got a little crazy and has made herself a "Darth PLUR" shirt. I feel like I'm going to Comic-Con with her.

To answer your question a little deeper: Yes there is such a thing as color theory, an art & design principle. There is also something called color psychology. Basically colors affect the brain in different ways. Understand color theory and color psychology and you convey a deeper level of imagery through emotions caused by visual stimulus.

That blue, white, & yellow is worthy of being bricked!

I'll was able to figure out how/ who to talk to, but I'll BD there on Sunday in black & khaki. With a... Name tag-ish. :P

MOC got blogged on TBB! http://www.brothers-brick.com/2011/10/11/eternal-dusk/

Hmmm. Beautiful and compact. I've been working on my Power Functions skills but I'm not there yet.

Ah I call BULL! What Power Functions? We see the reciever but that's it. Show us the juice!

I was at my local TRU yesterday to pick up supplies and happened to be eligable for the free Bricktober magnet and they said, "Sorry we don't have any yet." WTF!?

So basically I have that as my primary gear coming off the engine, that what I shouldn’t have any gears grinding into bits because of too much friction. Because that piece will spin out before the motor rips apart a gear. ------------------------------------------------ EDIT: Is the torque threshold reasonably high? Or does it seem to cause almost everything to spin out?

None. But I’m planning to buy some. I’ve been eyeing up trains for a while now they’re pretty expensive so I’ve stayed a way. Any recommendations for a first time train buyer out of this year’s line up?

I have a question that I'm sure will be easy for you guys. I mainly build SWU themed MOCs but I like blending Power Funtions into my designs. Slowly I'm learning more and more about Technics and Power Functions but here's my question. I just picked up Power Functions #8293. I needed an extension cord and didn't feel like making an online order just because of a cord. So figured I could probably get the Power Functions Switch cable to double as an extension cord instead. Then I'm ripping everything open and I noticed all the bonus bits in the set. To be specific I noticed the white gear with a small internal gear. Has anyone used one of these before? If so how and to what end? Basically what is its function/purpose? Can you show me a MOC(s) or set(s) that use these?

Wow that’s a whole lot of Space Piss!

I’m amazed everyone got so sucked in by the bow. It took a couple tries but was easier then about 95% of the ship!

Back the camera up a few inches and we could have seen it all in 3-6 images.

Yeah I used ten 5x12x13 right angled triangles. 2 for each wing mount and 2 for front end. Series 5 Collectable Minifigures Ice Fisherman.

Excellent. The Mrs. (Darth PLUR) and I will be there for Sunday. Who do I talk to/email about being an official volunteer this time?

MOC Madness II! Eternal Dusk Inca Ter’ The most feared bounty hunter in the quadrant. If you want your bounty alive to torture them yourself, Inca Ter’ is the best, but he will cost you. Inca Ter’ carries a long range sniper riffle loaded with enough tranquilizers to knock out a gundark for a week. For close combat he prefers to use his great grandfather’s tribal spear as a bow staff. San’Piper Inca Ter’s sidekick is known simply as San’Piper. Her weapon of choice is a high power double barreled tranquilizing compound cross bow, as silent as clear night’s breeze. She also carries a double barreled over under repeating blaster for when “alive” is no longer an option. The Bounty Some poor schmuck that is probably about spend the last days of his life in a lot of pain. Just be glad it’s not you… this time. The Ship Eternal Dusk is armed with an array of forward baring armaments stolen from a dozen species in primary wings. The primary wings also house 4 maneuvering sub-light engines. The rear wings house massive sub-light engines slightly over sized for this ship making her a rocky ride but faster then her prey and two small sleeping quarters. The Eternal Dusk boasts a quad barreled laser turret on her dorsal tail. The main cargo hold is equipped with cryogenic chamber. The aft cargo bay houses the maintenance access to the hyper-drive engine. Flickr Gallery

I think the key thing to Lego is being creative. Star Wars Universe implies near limitless possibilities. Therefore mixing SWU & Lego should result in virtually endless possibilities of creativity limited only by the imagination and the technologies set for by its creators, authors, designers, cinematographers, markup artists, fans, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Could/Should they be spilt in subforums? Probably. Canon and Fan Fiction, a process that is already under way in other forums.

Grand opening then on Fri, Sat, & Sun (30,1,& 2)?

Wow, now there’s a collectors item.

Congrats BaronSat I liked yours the most.
