Thrash

Brickforge is coming out with some cows/bulls soon...so you will have Lego cattle! (www.brickforge.com, look at the part about "where's the beef, where's the bacon?")

That message was left in a file in the maj.com account called "recovery" with password "savepics". It's possible it wasn't Kevin though. I mean, anyone who read this thread knew the account and password, so really anyone who wanted to could have deleted all the pics in there and left that message. It wasn't definitely Kevin. I feel like if he wanted to make such a statement, he wouldn't just leave it in a text file in a Maj account.

Brickforge sells the helmet seperately from the Sturmgewehr now for $1.50.

What's the point of skipping a turn and then doing double the damage next turn? Why not just do 30 damage both turns for the same total of 60 damage after two turns?

On top of the bad guys castle it looks like the Evil Wizard has some sort of lightling rod. Perhaps it's a new type of staff like the one for sale at brickforge?

This MOC is excellent. I really like it.

Here's a little something I made.

I bought the whole rogue knight package thing off S&H. The legs are a sand blue color. Also, I thought it was kind of cool how the armor has bronze speckles instead of the usual silver speckles that we got with the Vikings.

Check again...both of the new viking sets are available on US S@H individually. The Army of Viking sets is just preorder, but the other one is available now. Now that I look around a little more, I see that both Arkham and Battle at the Pass have been put up for preorder too. Looks like they've put up all of the sets that we know are being released this year.

When there are new posts on the forum, the square thing is a darker blue than when there aren't any new posts, so you don't really need the lego face.

It comes in two sets: Air Temple, and Fire Nation Ship Just look at this thread: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=3857

Umbridge is definately not a thin woman. Wikipedia says she is "a short, squat woman resembling a large toad."

Wow! What a great castle. I wish I had gotten one or two of those while they were out.

What you have looks good. The only thing I would suggest is to do a follow up scene to show what happens when the Ninjas get into the building. I assume they were attacking to try to get some item or assassinate someone, so maybe show what they were coming for.

It is not a 3x4x5 triangle. I think I was able to use different lengths since I used a hinge on one side instead of having them come together on a stud. I've been working on the interior, and I've finished the storage room. I still intend to work on the main room behind the "face" and a second floor above the storage room. Here are some pictures of the storage room. Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions for what else to put in the storage room.

Thanks for the compliments guys, and the resizing tutorial. As you can see, I fixed the size of that first picture. Here is a picture of the angled wall with the two key components circled: As you can see, I used a hinge piece at the ends of mouth, and then built over to the main wall. At the main wall, I alternated putting the angled part and the main wall on top. Also, I had to leave alternating open spaces right next to where the two walls. If that little explination didn't make much sense, I'd be happy to take some pictures and do a tutorial on how to make angled walls like I did. Just let me know.

I knew I would be bored over spring break, so Friday night I just started building. I ended up with this Magic Shop. I'm still working on the interior, but here is the exterior: I'm not sure if the image is too big (I'm not really sure how to resize images on here, but I'd be happy to resize it if someone tells me how), so here is the link: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/thrash/M...ore/frontal.jpg Let me know what you think.

I don't see the point of SNOT. If I don't want studs showing, I simply use smooth peices on all visable studs.

I voted for the India sets because they gave us cool new torsos for minifigs, turbans in lots of sweet colors, and elephants. Oh yea, the palace also came with those big white half-onion type things, so that's another good thing about them. The Scorpion Palace is one of the only big sets that I've bought two of.

I used to throw all the boxes in the basement, but then we got a termite problem and found out that the termites were all living in the empty Lego boxes in the basement. Now I throw them out after I'm done building the set.

The bat accessories with the hole in the center are to put on the end of the smaller gun to make it look like a grapple gun that batman uses.

Thanks for all the good suggestions SuvieD. I have a bricklink order that should be coming in soon, so I will probably try to work on this MOC next weekend. I'll post pictures so you can see how it turns out. Anyone else have any more ideas?

I only used 3 of the bigger BURPs and 3 of the smaller ones, the rest of the mountain is made out of bricks. I guess you are right about the outside being a little bland...I didn't really include many flowers or other foliage to spice it up at all. Thanks for the helpful criticism. Anyone else have any ideas of how I could fix it up?

To answer TheBricksters question, that beard is a piece made by a guy called Redbean. If you want to buy some of his stuff, go to his website: http://armothe.com/mcnstore/
