It is one of my favorite too! A lot of small details of the SHIP in a single picture! :)Thanks everyone! :) More to come next year hopefully :)

Hello there! Here I am to present you the Thealdran! "The Thealdran is a Repair Freighter for military purposes. On large scale battles where back up might be delayed or shut down completely via hiperspace jump inhibitors, the outcome of a battle lies on a fleet capacity to repair the damaged allied ships. Given the modularity of the building structures of militar warfare, increasingly implemented in the last 8 decades, sometimes all it takes to a ship to be back at battle is the replacement of the drive module since enemies will mostly be looking for moving targets. The Thealdran is equipped with 10 pusher-ships which can, given the opportunity, tow back to the rear lines of battle, ships as big as destroyer class ones. The hangar is big enough to accommodate inside repairs of smaller ships, or ship out modules for larger scale repairs outside. Most of the cargo space of the Thealdran is therefore stacked with modules and repair materials. Given its size (427m in length) the required working crew is rather small (135) which is mainly comprised of repair bots overseers. It isn’t equipped with any weapons and relies on the fleet defense structures to whithstand the battle. The hull thickness makes it a flying fortress only vulnerable trough the hangar. Because of its structural particularities it’s been used to ram against enemy ships with a great degree of success in the battle of the Quadron Realms in 1410CET by the hands of Military Strategist P. E. Fieschi." ----------------------------- My first SHIP ever! Or at least, as an AFOL because I'm sure I did a lot of rainbow SHIP's when I was a kid A week ago I was lost at this point ----> WIP03 And Pierre E. Fieschi one of my favorite microscale builders commented on it saying it was looking good! I answered back asking him if he could sketch the other half of the SHIP since I was so lost and I knew he is a great sketcher... And he kindly did this! (Pierre if you're watching this, you're the man! :)) I was amazed, the goal was set really high, and I had the "project" I needed to reach the SHIPTember goal. It was a great experience from which I learned a lot. I'm quite happy with the result and believe that with more time I could have improved some details. But for now, I think its acceptable! Hope you guys like this as well, cheers! :) You can check my photostream at Flickr

You should be proud! Great piece of work! :)

Thank you Wout! I've posted it in IDEAS. Let's see how it goes when approved :) The blue thing is called a trailer and has brackets inside to keep the tiles in place.

I liked the way you designed the cockpit, well done!

Nice intepretations! The first one is my personal favorite! I've never had Tente but I heard of it since I'm close to Spain (Portugal) perhaps?

Congrats on the frontpage! The model itself looks really really good! And I'm not that of a big fan of the classic space theme overall so, kudos for you and your work :)

Hello everyone! This time I bring you something in minifig scale! Nothing more to it than the pictures show! I started with the tractor and the rest kept comming! Looking at it kinda has a feeling of an official Lego set! What do you guys think? :)

Thank you guys! :)

It has been a while since I've been here in EB, so I thought the best way to come back would be to present my newest build :) It all started a few weeks back when I've done the Mystery Box. The rest of the elements kept comming and then I tought I had enough to make this little presentation. You can see detailed photos at my Flickr photostream: https://www.flickr.c...37/20009292500/ Hope you guys like it! :)

Free Stuff?! Now who doesn't like that? Great raffle CopMike! So here's my watermelon bowling lane: I hope it counts! Good luck everyone!!!

Too bad the time is up for new entries... Two or three hours and I would finish mine and submit it to the contest...

I'm having troubles finding the brick count... How do I check that can someone tell me? Going full speed now to try to finish my MOC! I'm so under schedule

The "ship" has two wheels to keep itself horizontal. Well, it really has three but it you see this link in my BS folder you will understand what I mean: >>>>> LINK <<<<< The one with the gears is for traction, the other one is just to keep it balanced. That helps maintain the ring in its place as well as some technic work: >>>>> LINK <<<<< Hope it's clear now! ;) And here's the link for the entries in the contest held at my LUG Comunidade0937: LINK

It has already been said, you just need to reed the topic. :)

@The Brickster: Yeah! @prateek: Almost did when I was shooting the videos! Once again thank you so so much! I'm totally overwhelmed with the feedback I'm getting with this MOC in such a short time. Just Wow!

I told you already, this one is just great!! My favorite in the contest!

@dr_spock: It doesn't! :) Thanks to all for the nice comments! This MOC as even been blogged by BrothersBrick! Wow!!! LINK @lightningtiger: "I&#39;m a conformist&#33; 'Catarino' I&#39;m a conformist&#33;!" I will surely do!

@Black Rabbit If you check the entire post there's a link to the video of this thing working with Power Functions ;) It is pretty stable I think! :) @Decale: The ring is done with bricks plates and tiles 1x2! Try it! You will see that it is quite soft when it gets big and then you just have to bend it until you get the ring :)

Hello there! So here's my latest, done for a contest at my LUG. The theme was single wheeled vehicles and I came up with this thing: "Mobile Lab Platform Explorer - Used to explore the conditions of new planets to be colonized. It is equiped with a lab with all sorts of equipment to determine the conditions of the planets. It is able to accommodate 2 scientists for long periods of time." Check the video as this one is Power Functions Controlled! ;) >>>>>>>VIDEO<<<<<< Here are the links for the galeries: Flickr or Brickshelf So? What do you think?

Yes differencial gears! I also noticed that there aren't clutch gears wich are really important for steering. But here it's easier to just use another one that resembles those. Thanks!

I noticed that there aren't diferencials in LDD, Unless I've wrongly checked... Can we make models assuming their usage even it they don't show up in LDD?

8880 for 21€... It is incomplete, but the rare pieces are all there! Rims, tires, printed slopes,steering pieces, shift plate etc. Just missing some technic bricks and light gray pieces such as slopes, plates, technic bushes and others like that... Nothing too hard to find to complete this baby. What a find!!!

Someone review this please! I'm so wanting this one! From the building instructions it looks awesome!

Just like the title said! Here is what you get: If you want to see the rest of it while the folder ins't moderated, go from deeplink http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Catarino...FA/dsc01373.jpg to ...dsc01381.jpg Best offer I get above 9€ in the next days will take it. Do it by PM. Shipping is in charge of the buyer. Payment via IBAN or paypal. I want to be in straightshooters list so I have to start somewhere!
