    thank you, I was not aware of this thread. I'll be certain to post further inquiries here.

    I cannot seem to locate part 4319 (Hinge Bar 8L with 3 Fingers and Open End Stud) in LDD. I've searched for hinge parts and bar parts and cannot locate it. Is it simple not there?

    Looking at this more critically now, as you can see by the photo, particularly the old larger one, the building is basically repaeating panels (brick facade, most with 2 windows) arranged to makeup the building in the dimensions of 3x7x2 (length x width x height). I think you have all put me on the right track, if I start with the upper windows, and build the entire bricks facade panel around the dimensions of the window, I can use that as a guide for the dimension of each section going forward. This will make it look as best as possible I beleive. I look forward to starting on this now. I have a feeling the rest of my work day is going to be really long.

    Thank you so much. Particularly to Kaitain for sourcing those photos. The building looks very much the same today, the biggest difference being the awnings attached to the building. And I also appreciate the advice given to scale it to the windows. That seems so sensible, I am certain to do just that. I want to make it as accurate as possible, without breaking my wallet and it also needs to be transported. This will quite possibly be displayed in the local museum, so I am trying to make it as detailed and recognizable as possible. Thanks again, I think I am on track now. I will be working in LDD or the new-to-me SR3D to design it. I will likely use LDD since I am more fimiliar with it and know how to produce a Bricklink wanted list from a model built with it. I will post some photos when i have something to post.

    I want to build a LEGO recreation of an iconic building in my town. There are not very good "straight-on" photos, but even if there were, I still am uncertain how to proceed. I've seen sample of peoples work where they overlay a grid to ascertain the ppoper dimensions in LEGO, adjusting the grid resolution depending on the size they want to make the model. I'm willing and ready to go take some photos myself, but I could use a little direction on how to obtain the proper grid size, or if there is a template I've een unable to find it. Thanks for any tips. BTw. Here is a photo of the building I am attempting to build. It is the Dickens Opera House in Longmont Colorado. I'd love to find some really old photos of it and build it the way it looked in 1881 when it was built.

    lol. That was funny.

    You mean a member of this forum made the baby they used in that scene? How very cool.

    I would replace all matter in the universe with Lego elements.

    Wow, I love this software. The more I use it the more I like it. Is there a way to import LDD files by chance?

    You can remap f1 to esc in the registry http://www.ghacks.net/2010/06/06/the-ultimate-guide-to-keyboard-remapping/

    I was just introduced to this software. It is a splendid piece of work and I look forward to gaining a good grasp of it, it seems like everything I've wanted from LDD. Thank you for making this and providing it for free, you are a benevolent and generous man.

    This is so amazing. I am so impressed. I loved reading this thread and watching the ship get built. You are incredibly talented.

    It does look better like that, but I also preferred the pulleys for wheels. I think they were more authentic in size.
  15. dvsntt
    Heh, that's cool.
  16. dvsntt
    These are so awesome!

    I would love to build this model form the offical instructions as well. Please update this thread if any are sourced. Thanks.

    Here is my submission to Cuusoo. Apprecaite any feedback as many of you have provided good insight on existing projects. Thanks.

    I never apply the stickers to my Lego models, and I thkn this set looks great without them.
  20. dvsntt
    It looks awesome. Your phootos are amazing also. Do you have a tutotial or would you mind providing tips on how you achevied such nice quality photos? Thanks. ((I understand if I am askng too much about what is proabbly quite a basic skill to most people).

    For the scale, that is really impressive. It looks really great.

    These designs are superb. I have long wished for an amusement park\carnival ride theme to emerge from LEgo. It seems like the perfect fit. BTW, I love the chairlift design. Thsi is a deisgn I have made, not at all styled to look like the rides in RTC, but amusment park related none-the-less.

    One of my favorites sets is 8288. I love all the wokring rigging, adjustable boom, and weight distrubtion.

    It looks incredible. I am always impressed with the modelers, like yourself, who can use so few pieces, but arrange them so well to transform them into a sculpture. I would be so proud of myself to build something like that.

    It moves much slower now that the batteries are half-drained :) I appreciate the feedback, I will consider reducing the gear ratio attached to the worm gear to slow it down. This speed was rather convenient for attaching the motor. I may consider a rubber-band system like the ferris wheel uses, although I dismissed that idea initially as I didn't like the placement of the motor (for easy accomplishment) but I enjoy the re-design and tweaking as much as making the proof-of-work concept (if not more).
