    "Ugh, these blighters really do bite!" The lights were getting closer, which was fortunate. Tesni Cloud Gigas Atramor Nur Ellaria

    (Ugh, how to run this round eh?) The essence did it's job and Tesni stood, striking with her hammer at Black Leech C Cloud Gigas Atramor Ellaria Tesni Nur (If this is a poor looking round, someone can recommend a change?)

    I have two things on trade at the moment: and Santa is bagged still and the Friends figure is loose. Offers are welcome. I am looking for some of these: I have one and need four for a MOC. I also like printed motorcycle helmets and racing/leather jacket torsos. May have more to post once I've got a little more sorting done.

    Now that is a cool build.

    "Sorry the situation means you'll be rowing m'lady" Tesni winked. "A fine beastie to fight alongside us is a good thing though!" Tesni Cloud Gigas Atramor Ellaria Nur

    Okay. On paper a BGB is 38.4cm x 38.4cm right? The 8mm stud dimension multiplied by 48. So, a layout that is four BGB by four BGB (so 16 in total) Should cover a space of 1m 53.6cm, in paper terms. However, brick-clutch works by the tubes and grips pinching the studs ever so slightly, pulling the dimension shorter by micro-measurements. Over a single baseplate it isn't too noticeable, even across two it won't be something you'd see. However, the further distance you cross the more it appears, by joining a number of baseplates with a brick or plate. Cover a larger space in baseplates and try and get them all to stick together with plates or bricks on all four sides/corners... It won't happen, there will be plate popping and tugging and skewing. The more distance you cover the worse it gets. The parts are stressed, a fully joined up large layout wouldn't be possible without force that might damage a MOC or even the LEGO. The theoretical 1m 53.6cm might have lost that .6 (Not an exact figure, I am not sure of the actual measurement of "loss" clutching bricks cause or the ratio of how it transitions across a distance. There is bound to be a paper somewhere on this but I studied Civil & Construction Engineering, not Material Science so it is beyond me!). So long story short, you lose a little of the total measurement. I wasn't trying to be obtuse and it sounded right to my (admittedly early morning coffee deprived) brain.

    Also a little advice: You lose a little of the total measurement across six baseplates due to clutch from bricks. Just a few mm but it happens. Modular or even unconnected baseplates combat that problem in large builds.

    Tesni was focused on her target. The success vaguely registered. Tesni Ellaria Atramor Nur

    "Al right then. Atramor, what do you have in mind, got any fancy beasties to send out in our aid?" Tesni took Mellt and made aim for Black Leech A Battle Order Tesni Atramor Ellaria Nur

    "I can fight 'em or take hits while rowing." Tesni looked to the party. Hopefully there wouldn't be suspicions over her giving orders in battle ahead of their 'employer'

    "Ah, it seems even the shiniest of cities has a few bad eggs." Tesni commented. "It should be quite a sight to see your cities. Dwarf crafting is excellent."

    Collectaholics Series 2 episode 5 features LEGO. Lots of lovely LEGO and a valuation. Are you a member here too dude? Hiiiii!

    "I've been underground before, aye. Cleared out some undead from a cave, worked a few jobs that ended in caves too, the usual sort of fare for hired muscle." Tesni shrugged. "I lived in a cave atop a mountain most of my life though. I am better used to above than under the mountain." She grinned.

    Okay. This was relevant when it was Elves centred. Dimensions discussion goes elsewhere please!
  19. Peppermint_M
    No problems! It was getting on my nerves that I couldn't figure it out!
  20. Peppermint_M
    It was a minifigure trike. It needs the front yoke and wheels.

    Eurobricks member Actionfigure has been creating a menagerie of wonderfully built animals. Go to Special Themes and take a look at lots more!

    Tesni grinned and flexed an arm. "I can row miss, not much different use of strength than a fight."

    Not anything that'd ID your part that I can find. Have you tried looking through Green or Trans-clear on the BL colour guide catalogue? The parts sound pretty "unique" so they would have a listing if you tap the colour block. The colour block listing doesn't show all the more generic plate and brick type parts. The lid and base would be listed separately by colour but then you could find out what they were as an assembly. L@go, I am guessing you went through all the stickers that came in Racers? It has a look of a vent detail that turned up on a lot of them.

    Does it look like a container or package? Something like a cannister or tub that the set may have come in? I am trying to visualise it... EDIT: It isn't one of these is it? X-pods were a creator series of sets some years back. It is all I could come up with barring a photo from yourself.

    "Excellent. Let's approach the dwarves. Remember we're working for Ellaria so she'll need to do the introducing." It was a good thing the alchemist was well spoken, Tesni knew she was a little better at intimidating than diplomacy...
