  1. You take the dimensions of your MOC, and the highest dimension should be between 20 and 40 studs. Is Aquazone in the list in the first post? If not then it doesn't count.
  2. So this is the spaceship I built to illustrate the Classic Space Era contest here on EB. I think it was my first CS build, and it was quite fun to do, I appreciated the challenge, so I hope you did too!

  3. Only Lego stickers
  4. You can post to other media a the same time you post here, or even just before if you use a hosting service like Flickr.
  5. I think I already said that you can use any part produced by Lego.
  6. It's been a while since I ran a contest, and I didn't miss the people being nitpicky or even sneaky with the rules 1: Yes 2: Good question... I'll say yes, it must be manned (bt can be "stored" without the pilot. 3: 4: Yes, as long as it is something produced by Lego (I sometimes use a round Lego eraser as part of MOCs) 5: Only parts that are or have been in production. 1: You can use Technic, system, Duplo, Scala, Belleville, .... Anything produced by Lego 2: You can use the color scheme of the whole theme, so if in the theme even only one set uses a specific color, then you can use it. Light grey and dark grey should be transformed in light bluish grey and dark bluish grey.
  7. Correct, I'll update the rules.
  8. Light bluish gray can be used... Except if you prefer using only light gray ;) Rules updated
  9. The original color scheme has to be respected, so unly the colors used back then. I know this may be difficult or restrictive sometimes, but I'm sure it will add to the fun...
  10. That's a bad choice of word on my side then. The secondary vehicle may be stored inside the spaceship, or be detachable, but not necessarily hidden. My example build has a small rover stored at the back. That's the spirit :)
  11. Thanks. I built it, but haven't taken pictures of it except for this one. Will post more later this week I hope.

  15. A quick one-day build I did while working on a bigger dragon for a contest... I really wanted to use moulded parts to create a minifig sized mount with lot of details. The Wandering Dragon Slayer Knight by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr
  16. A while ago, BrickBob asked me if he could make instructions for my Zenith Escort Cruiser. I accepted, mainly to offer an alternative to the chinese version that was commercialized without my consent... Anyway, he did a great job and the instructions are now available on The Brick Collective website here: brick-collective.com/en/produkt/zenith-escort-cruiser/ Zenith Escort Cruiser - Instructions by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr You may also get the free instructions for my micro version of the Zenith on my Rebrickable page here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-55669/BobDeQuatre/micro-zenith-escort-cruiser And sorry for the necro-bump
  17. "Built from the salvaged carcass from the 20th century, the Porsche 911 Turbo VV is, like its predecessor, one of the best racing hovercar of its category. The front of the car is built around two antigrav generators, while the back houses the powerful VV hydrogen repulsor motor, which was integrated in the old bodywork without disrupting the lines. The interior features very old accessories like the strange levers between the two seats, but also top notch controls."

  18. Years ago, I stumbled upon <a href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rWJO6" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Daniyar Kdyrov's work</a> and knew that one day I'd build something inspired by it. When I got the Porsche 911 set, it was clear that it was the perfect candidate for the transformation... The MOC is actually fully powered, with two motors, battery pack, working suspension and steering. But sadly, the frame isn't rigid enough for the car to drive for more than a meter... I actually built this one before the flying 911 I posted earlier. So I carefully removed the underframe, and transfered the bodywork on a new frame to build the hovercar. And then did the same thing in reverse. I decided to keep the red line that runs from the front to the rear, to tie a bit more the two builds...

  21. Set information Set Name: Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote Set Number: 40559 Number of Pieces: 205 Theme: Brickheadz - Looney Tunes Year Release: 02/2022 Prices: £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99 (Euro prices may vary) #40599 on Brickset #40559 on Rebrickable Box and content As usual with dual Brickheadz sets, the box contains 2 numbered bags and two instructions booklets, one for each character. The front of the box shows the two models, while the back shows... exactly the same... The build I started by building Coyote. It is a simple classic brickheadz build. Nothing fancy here... I think Lego missed an opportunity here as on my copy, I replaced the 2x2 pink brick (aka the brain brick) with a printed TNT brick, which to me seems a bit more appropriate. Road Runner build is a bit more interresting. Both the body and head use two black Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on 3 Sides. The head attach to the body with a 1x1 brick with axle hole that is positionned sideway. The final models look decent, but I think Coyote's head should have been done differently as it is too "square" (even for a brickheadz) compared to the its shape in the cartoon. Conclusion Design: 5/10 - While Road Runner is ok, I think Coyote's design could have been so much better. Parts: 5/10 - The part selection is average, especially for Coyote, as Road Runner's part selection is a bit more interesting. Price: 4/10 - With a high ppp of 0,097€ the set is quite pricy. Overall: 16/30 (53%) - An average Brickheadz set, with some misdesigns.
  22. Please refrain from bumping old topics. Thank you.
  23. Set information Set Name: Temple of the Endless Sea Set Number: 71755 Number of Pieces: 1060 Theme: Ninjago Year Release: 06/2021 Prices: £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99 (Euro prices may vary) #71755 on Brickset #71755 on Rebrickable Box and content The set come in a pretty large box, with the front showing all the parts of the playset. The other side of the box shows the back of all the buildings and their various play features. The box is filled with 9 numbered bags and two instruction booklets and a stickers sheet protected in a plastic wrapping. The first visual impression looking at the bags is that there is a lot of black, teal and gold in this set, which is a very good thing! The build The instructions are easy to follow, but building all the different aprts of the set may require some time. With the first bag we'll build Kai's small submarine and a small building with a clam shell. Bag 2 will start the construction of the sea serpent Wojira... ...And it's finished with bag 3. Bags 4 to 7 will guide you in building the biggest part of the temple. Glutinous laboratory and Wojira's shackles come with bag 8. And finally bag 9 gives us a part of the temple with a small prison and a spring shooter on top. Minifigures The minifigures are really nice, with detailed printings. Nya's minifigure is my prefered, with its pearl trans blue hair, a trans blue arm, and a simple but quite nice front and back printing that extends on the legs. On the good side we have Scuba Kai, NRG Nya and prince Benthomaar. A focus on the new scuba parts for our ninjas. On the evil side we have Glutinous, prince Kalmaar and two Maaray guards (and a manta ray) The completed set When assembled, the set looks really nice. Each part of the temple can stand on it's own or be attached to another part with clips. Both sides of the buildings are detailled. I'm justs a bit disappointed by Wojira, as I think it could have bee a bit beefier (especially on the neck area). Conclusion Design: 8/10 - Some very nice builds here, with a vibrant color scheme. Parts: 8/10 - The part selection is rather good (if you like black, gold and teal) with some unique or rare parts. Playability: 9/10 - There's a lot to do with this set and all the different buildings. I like that a small submarine is included. Minifigures: 8/10 - The minifigs selection is great, even if only prince Benthomaar and Glutinous' body are exclusive to this set. Price: 5/10 - With a ppp of 0,095€ and 7 minifigures, the set is a bit overpriced. Overall: 40/50 (80%) - A very nice playset, with nice minifigures. The set's color scheme is really nice even jsut as a display item..
