    Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

    Something I've been meaning to rebuild for years since the flared balloon pieces came out in red. The 50th anniversary of the band, and the untimely passing of bass player / vocalist Dusty Hill in July got my behind into gear. My all new, completely rebuilt ZZ Top's Eliminator Hot Rod, with repositionable band riser and billboard, plus section of highway to pose the builds on. This is a physical build, but with photoshopped decals and hole in the "P" (for now). My last version I made in 2015 and posted the old photos here when Dusty passed away. A few more shots available on my Flickr gallery. UPDATE: Now on Ideas, should you wish to support.

    Just get some Pink Elves off Bricklink. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?M=hol235&ColorID=0

    Well, that's one possibility, and does give support to the CMF theme speculation. But there are IPs like Battlestar Galactica that they won't accept, because seen as too similar to Star Wars. Maybe the Jim Henson Muppet Show Muppets are simply seen as too similar to the Sesame Workshop Muppets by the Ideas team, despite my best efforts to convince them otherwise.

    Yes, that was the point I tried to make with the Ideas team. ;)

    Jay's Brick Blog also speculating it could be The Muppets: Probably a coincidence or due to Sesame Street, but my Muppet Busts Ideas submission was rejected a few weeks back with the standard "IP conflict" form reply. It fact I received the same rejection a 2nd time when I tried to make a case for it not being a conflict with Sesame Street IP.

    The part number is in the screenshot above.

    Made a number of updates to my three Muppet busts, including new torso and arms for Beaker, new nose and torso for Gonzo, stronger arms for Animal. The earlier versions each had threads here, but hopefully these changes and the group photos are enough to warrant this new topic. Unfortunately they have been rejected by LEGO Ideas due to "IP conflict". Tried explaining Sesame Street was a completely different IP to The Muppet Show: different audience, location, characters, and even owned by separate companies. No luck, I’ll just have to wait for the Sesame Street license to expire and no longer be considered 'active' before trying again in a year or two, I guess.

    Woah, that is stunning, and horrific. Amazing work.

    Made this back in 2015, but never it shared here. It could do with some refinement now there are more new curved pieces released. RIP Dusty Hill. Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/134884717@N03

    Nicely done everyone - a real fun contest theme. May I please have the Scout Trooper? I'll message you now Josh, thank you for organising all this.

    I was tracking the voting, and this is where I think things landed. Note: this is not official and I take no responsibility for its accuracy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_d4cq1qOn5X3BBqYVbEkhQkReTlncbUa/edit#gid=969840020

    Just seems really weird to have contest builds featured on the homepage - and then deny a big proportion of Eurobricks visitors the opportunity to click through to see the actual post & the rest of the images. I'd have thought things like contests would encourage more people to sign up, but that won't happen if people can't even reach the contest forum or see the entries.

    Hi, I was surprised to see the 2 subforums on the Star Wars forum (Watto's junkyard, Factions) are not visible or accessible to logged out users. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/114-wattos-junkyard/ https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/188-factions/ ______________ Sorry, there is a problem We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2F176/1 ______________ Wondering if this is a mistake, and if not, what's the rationale behind the decision? Visitors are unable to view the latest contest entries the way things are currently set up.

    The chin is straight from the Hermione instructions. Vader's helmet is from set 75227.
  16. jp-30
    Had to do something with the Hermione pieces... my 2nd Star Wars MOD / MOC based on the Potter Maxifig set 76393. (Banana for scale) More on Flickr
  17. jp-30
    The new one is about 25 - 30% bigger, but some techniques may ne able to be utilised for better helmet all round at this scale.

    Today's fun.... my MOD / MOC / Mashup using sets Harry & Hermione (76393) and the original convention / Target exclusive Darth Vader Bust (75227). Mashed them together, made a brick built belt, chest control box and lightsaber. A little hard to photograph at this time of night. Will reshoot tomorrow in better light, here's a teaser though.

    Thank you - funnily enough I bought the latest Y-Wing 75249 a couple of years back to turn it into a McQuarrie version. This seem like the perfect time to realise it, but when researching reference pics, this beautiful one of the Docking Bay showed itself (I was already familiar with it), and I thought I could pay better tribute to McQuarrie's style using the Docking Bay scene than the Y-Wing hangar.

    *cough* Is this thing on? Been a bit quiet here for the last few years! Here's a new MOC that I finished last weekend - based on Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for Star Wars' Docking Bay 94. Built for the "Star Wars Concept Art" contest here. Reference image - Ralph McQuarrieBuild Voting thread is now live. Two votes per person to determine top 3 places (among just 8 entries in total), so long as your Eurobricks account was created before May 4 2021. Here's the vote link if you're interested in seeing all the entries...

    Thank you! It's the new-ish cloud part from the big Monkie Kid Flower Mountain set, I used that set as a basis for a theme switch to Adventurers.
  22. jp-30
    The latest of my Classic Adventurers modern remake MOCs. This one inspired by 7410 Jungle River. Initially part of the Orient Expedition theme, I relocated it to the Amazon. Original set See also: Aero Nomad remake (7415) More / other MOCs at my flickr page.

    Inspired topic, and superb execution - brought a smile to my face, well done!

    My entry: Ralph McQuarrie's Docking Bay 94
  25. jp-30
    Based on the iconic Docking Bay 94 concept art with McQuarrie's revised Pirate Ship design replacing Colin Cantwell's version (Cantwell's later became the Blockade Runner), and our heroes meeting up with the captain of the ship. Reference image - Ralph McQuarrie Build
