Hinckley

Looks great. Perhaps you can add a two car garage? Seriously, it's quite a project. I think maybe you should just finish it up before it gets too expensive.

Finally! Someone has added some scientific research to this discussion. I think the theorem has been extrapolated. What sayeth the rest of youse? Which one is the smart emoticon? This one? Great work Dennimator. What conclusions did you draw from your extensive research?

His head... ...or whatever hat he was wearing...or hairpiece. Or a leg. Were you asking me?

Let me be more clear. The model is based off of the home it is in: It is not my design. I am just replicating it in LEGO. I'll add this picture to the first post to avoid any confusion...

Hello all. I've been really busy lately. I was out of town for a week and the week before I left I was commissioned by Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry to build a display for their Smart Home Exhibit. Naturally it was due right after I got back from vacation so I've been running non-stop since before the trip and ever since it's completion. The museum basically gave me free reign to create something for the boy's room in the Smart Home. The house was sponsored by WIRED magazine so I created some robots (with some clearance Grevious sets) and then built a model of the Smart Home. I couldn't have done that without the aid of fellow EBer stash2sixx who helped me source some bulk brick. Thanks buddy. You're awesome. EDIT: Here is the exhibit the model is based off of (and residing in ) Anyway, here is the home pre-glue (yes, I had to glue it ). Somehow, I neglected to get good pics of it after I glued it which is unfortunate since I think it looks better on the base: The base I eventually glued the model to sits one brick higher than the staircase, so that the top landing meets the door... And here's the final display: You may notice these pics are from BrickArtisan.com and not BrickZone.net. For several reasons, I would like to separate my MOCs from my comics. Mostly, professional client and The LEGO group (If I ever apply for the Certified Builder Program) might not care for the murder, adultery and gay characters of Fabuland Housewives or the "your comic taught my kid what a swirly is" of The Whacker and the Walrus. Both of which need new issues published. They're scripted, but not filmed. Anyway, my point is, the architect of the Smart Home wants to blog my LEGO version and I need to send her the new site address. Feel free to check it out and leave me feedback about it. I could use the advice. Thanks Also, I look forward to hearing from you guys about the project and what you think and what I could improve, etc. Feedback appreciated! Thanks!

Better to figure out your tags than to have unmatched ones sitting around...

You know, fellows have the gallery feature...

How does outing the Dux of the Aventine Hill Pleb constitute "flying under the radar?"

Well, sure it's easy to solve the whole thing if you paid attention and read everything. Great job Sandy! You rock!

Did you solve it? Am I such a slacker?

Oh, enough with your history and facts, dragon-man! And Miss Sandy we all have the exact same head, it fits all of us.

and a mud room!

Only one bathroom??

I wonder if that lever I pulled in the other side of the attic would open any of the locked doors we've come across. I'd like to wear a cape too and have we checked where that secret corridor leads that I opened up?

IZ!!! I believe you show up in a couple of other episodes. I have your sig-fig so when another female is necessary, I just throw you in. How have you been? Welcome back! Yes, the new Pirates aren't the greatest, but they're Pirates! I like the ship. Anyway, I was confused when I saw this thread revived but I'm happy to see that it's you.

Tiny Pies, in Noir Mafia ready?

So, why was your hat down here then? Is there some piece of evidence missing Lt. Murder Spencer?

Let's not leave yet. Let's inspect the dragon heads above the doorway in the boiler room more closely. I would also like to remember where we have seen that sword before. Can I please remember? And I'd like to take a look at the broken plate and the remains of the cake. Why don't I just do it instead of talking about it?

*pushes Miss Sandy out of the way* I want to check upstairs!!

I also want to try and push and turn all of the statues.

No, me! I'm the dumb-waiter. I want to check it.

Audacious, aren't I?

Oh what the hell is wrong with you people? Oh, look who knows so much. Wrong! Mister "Now I'm the King of Mafia games... I would never use something with such a stupid name as the "Rotrgous Gambit." And unless anyone feels like revealing all the roles from Roman mafia, I will not explain my "gambit..." By the way, most of your gambits have sucked. That was all my fault. I didn't understand mafia games, but I understood "Survivor." To be considered a "gambit" I think you would have had to have played well... Yes, never use these "gambits" as they are more than likely to lead to needing 24 hour in-home care later in life. Again, "gambit" should only be used where skill is involved. Never, in it's current format. Correct! Since Tanotrooper pause the game for months and months and now can't seem to get it back up ... no more Roman mafia and I'm sorry to say we can't trust Tanotrooper to run a game at this time. Sorry ... What are my gambits? ... Dare I say? The "Hinckley in Roman Mafia" gambit- Try flying under the radar since you know you are the worst of the bad guys. When you are confusingly called out by an "investigator" and you still have no idea what a mafia game is or how it's played. Once you realize that nobody else does either, do your best to make Tiny Pius look like a crazy liar. Use those skills you perfected on the playground where you constantly talked your way out of being beat up for having the smartest mouth but always being the smallest guy ... with a moustache at age 11. (seriously, I was the first to hit puberty but never had a growth spurt so I was terribly awkward and had to learn to be a smartass to make up for it...or develop a Napoleon complex) Anyway, surprise even yourself when you talk everyone into killing off the investigator and then freak out the next day when you're painted into a corner. Oink at people and stab them. The Charles gambit- Sort of figure out the game and the convince yourself that you're right so much so that you just won't stop repeating yourself. Insult the intelligence of people who disagree with you. Bang your head against the wall. Insist so much that you're right and accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a witch until Quarryman kills you like the jerk that he is. Then be more annoying in death than you ever could be alive and pester the game host by PM and taunt the remaining players in the discussion thread. Change people's titles to vent your frustration.

Just being lazy. Too much else to do for this one. All of those little land mines and PM voting made it really busy for me. But the Ding Dong, Dillon's Dead title came the day after he had been convicted, so there shouldn't have been a surprise since you would have seen everyone vote for him the day before...
