The thread was merged here as the OP didn't present the build as a MOC and without any photos, it was simply an IDEA link promotion. Strangely, they did post a image of the MOC in this thread with a link also and then created the separate topic missing all the key components. The rules on the forum for an Ideas project are to showcase a MOC first and foremost, with a project link for those who may want to support it after/at the end. Thread titles requesting Ideas Project Support, or calling for votes fall foul of the rules. It was instated when Ideas launched, to prevent the forum just being a giant advert for Idea projects without the community interaction/engagement, just another stop on the socials tour. With the thread merged, I leave a link from the original location so people and the OP can find it again.

I don't say Sheeps, so I don't say Legos. So is it all internet drama for clicks? Engagement pays the bills for all of the YouTube posse.

17 years later and uh... Oh man. Oh man oh man... I'm still here Gosh. So I still love Astro Boy and Robotech/Macross. I have a backlog of anime to watch and recently watched all 10 episodes of Haunted Hotel on Netflix. (It was funny, I liked it). I have been watching the Ranma 1/2 remake episodes and enjoying those. I liked Owl House, RWBY, Bee and Puppycat. Plenty of series have been and gone but I am glad EB is still here. So anyway: It is fun to see a thread I made so long ago still gets posts.

How free are we talking about here lads? Testing the waters and checking out what people think is important to the future of the forum.

Oh indeed. I will second Cloney.

At least my age is below average! I was born in 1988, just too late for Fabuland (Mum was well miffed that there was none to get me when I was a tot) but I had Duplo from age 0! I personally think it is worse that I was moderating conversations on Power Miners and Series 1 CMF and now legit AFOLs are old enough to call that childhood LEGO!

At least one of his Star Wars replica blasters has a LEGO lightsaber blade in the sight, I managed to source a lot of similar transparent flagpole/rod parts from my clone brand collection for him to use as spares. What is really handy is he has stock of a type of glue that is technically illegal now, if I ever need it

LEGO is an emotive subject for people, "Innocence of Childhood" is represented by the toy and "Corruption of a wholesome subject" create all sorts of psychological reactions. Not to mention the guy was trying to get funding for Cancer treatment! (I mean, US Healthcare... You really have been chained to a Master: Capitalism. and my heart goes out to you.) The whole thing is very known now, so it is going to taint B and M, plus there is the risk as the story goes global and more commentators and influencers start to chime in, that LEGO will see it as a reputational damage to their brand. Say what you will about TLG, but they really do protect their image. I hope those wronged are helped, or at the very least the attention means the family involved can get the funds they need for healthcare.

I had a lot of clone brick to play about with and use in other projects so I have done a lot of ABS mods over the years. Plus a minor obsession with Gunpla and Zoids. So I collected a lot of tips My sister and brother in law are pretty serious costumers too, so we trade "hacks".

To finish it to a good smooth edge, use a fine grit emery paper, you can get them in hobby shops. Or a nail care kit that comes with a number of boards and buffers. For really fine finish, put a little basic toothpaste (no gel Stripe, literally just white toothpaste) on a cloth as its a really mild abrasive.

Yes I am. I must admit, I only know any Spiderman characters from the 90s cartoons

There is a new Speed Champion set coming out (Jaguar and Land Rover) and one of the figures has a handy looking sand green torso and dark tan cap and scarf.

OK I have no idea what has happened here. I created this thread as a useful place to drop the One and Done members who land just to post barking up votes for their IDEAS project, the low to no effort threads posted to drum up support where the IDEAS bit is central and not the MOC part (Not those that simply share a link to vote if you like their MOC...) So, I would say most of this belongs in Unpopular Opinions. Anyway, I will carry on using this thread to drop the threads posted with SUPPORT MY IDEAS!!!1!! as a title.

Why thank you. I do enjoy making them. I have some past ones on my Flickr (I hope the link works...)

Tombstone in the new Spider-Man set has an excellent formal waistcoat torso. I will need that for an Adventurer, either an original character or a remix of a classic one.
