    Those files would be VERY helpful right now. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling with no luck, even rolling back to 4.3.6. This looks suspiciously to have been done deliberately...

    I'm going to make a large "in-model" palette out of 6x6 tiles in every color so I can sample from it and still build. Otherwise I'm at a complete standstill. Anyone that follows me on Mocpages (Justin Davies) knows I'm pretty prolific, so this a like slamming into a brick wall for me.
  4. rx79gez8gundam
    As of 10 March 2015 at 5pm Central Time (US) the color palette has stopped working entirely in LDD Extended, both in the tools and in the brickset on the left. Colors are still available in Normal and Mindstorms modes. You can still sample colors in Extended, but other than that you only have Bright Red available to select.

    So not just me. Have already tried multiple times to uninstall and reinstall, no luck. Sent a message to LEGO but am afraid the response wil be something along the lines of "we don't support LDD Extended". Any chance attacking the files in LDD Manager might have an effect?
  6. rx79gez8gundam
    As of today at 5pm Central Time (US) I lost my entire color palette except for Bright Red. I can't access any other color on either the color selection tool or in the menus on the left. I can still sample colors on existing models, and have normal access in Normal and Mindstorms mode. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm running 4.3.8.

    I chose to model the opening upper Q-Bay hatch, as it is more interesting to showcase and would be more useful when converting to the later 2 seats variants. But yes, the bottom of the Q-Bay was also a removeable panel for equipment access and loading as well. Speaking of variants, I posted my YF-12A Interceptor last night. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/386012

    My brother-in-law was in the 16th SOS at Hurlburt Field, working alongside the 20th SOS and their Pave Lows. I'm glad to hear I did a good job modeling this aircraft, I did a lot of research before and during the build as to the placement of interior equipment and appearance, and tried hard to really do the aircraft justice. Your praise means a lot!

    The MH-53J Pave Low III is a large heavy-lift helicopter for the US Air Force and the most advanced and technologically sophisticated in their arsenal. It features a multitude of sensors and radar for the clandestine delivery and extraction of special forces personnel far behind enemy lines or contested areas without detection, often flying at or below treetop height using terrain follow systems and over the horizon sensor technology. It is armed with a mix of M134 6 barreled 7.62mm miniguns and/or .50 cal M2 heavy machine guns, has a crew of 2 pilots, 2 flight engineers and 2 gunners, and can carry 34 fully loaded troops, with an external sling capacity of 20,000lbs. The aircraft were retired in 2008 and replaced with the CV-22B Osprey. This MOC represents 40+ hours of work to design and complete, and features a fully detailed accurate cockpit and passenger compartment with three M134 minigun emplacements, fully functional landing gear, and a folding main rotor and tail boom. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/385312

    So the general consent I seem to be getting is "put this on CUUSOO", am I correct? :D
  12. rx79gez8gundam
    This model is a heavily modified version of my McDonnell Douglas AV-8B MOC. I have shortened the fuselage, lengthened the nose, lowered the canopy, redesigned the wing and "pogo" wingtip gears, replaced the 25mm rotary cannon pod system with the GR.3's double ADEN cannon pods, armed it with 2 MATRA rocket pods and 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder air to air missiles, and replaced the forward swiveling exhaust nozzles. The aircraft represents a Harrier GR.3 deployed during the Falklands War with the British Royal Air Force, and has the RAF two tone dark green and grey paint scheme from that period. Feedback is much appreciated! http://mocpages.com/moc.php/384773

    Looks like LDD was wrong! Now just need several hundred dollars and a distracted wife! :-P
  14. rx79gez8gundam
    Yes. According to LDD, they aren't available in white. I used LDD Extended to color things as I wished, even though the parts may not necessarily be available physically in those colors. Pretty much everything else should be, however. With my Star Wars models I try to keep the colors to available ones. My aircraft I bend the rules to match real world paint schemes and transparent canopies. My original LDD aircraft picture uploads were all based on physical color availabilites, however. This is why my early Phantoms had blue canopies instead of the later transparent style.

    Thanks! I'm getting better at the photo editing, it had been a while since I've had any formal training with the software. I need to master curving images to match complex surfaces, so far I can only mess with the perspective tool. Once I learn the other the markings will look much better when edited. All the other credit really goes to the LDD to POV-Ray software, it handles all the translation and lighting effects from LDD to finished rendered image for me, with my only input being the selection of the light settings. The only thing I'm actually changing in images with the photo editing software is the background and adding markings. I'm not doing any touch up to the models themselves. :D
  16. rx79gez8gundam
    The only ones I know for sure aren't available as represented (in white) are the 1x2x2 sloped grated pieces I used on the bottom as vents, but that's not to say they won't be in the future. For now this exists only digitally, with the final part count in the 7,300 element range. I shudder to think what this would cost me to physically build, asmuch as I love the model. This is also why I work primarily in LDD, real bricks simply cost too much when you're on a limited means.
  17. rx79gez8gundam
    Their are lots of pictures on the linked Mocpages site for it, including the detailed cockpit and passenger compartment. It also shows the wings in both flight and landing modes, as well as the retractable landing gear. The wings are not geared like the UCS version, as I chose instead to feature a detailed interior. Adding a gear drive system for the wings would have negated this, as it did on the UCS Shuttle.

    To answer both questions; The green windscreen is sun tinting, present on alot of older combat aircraft with multiple piece forward windscreens. Newer aircraft with one piece canopies don't have it. I'm glad you pointed it out, I got so used to building it into my aircraft I glossed over the fact that the Harrier had a newer one piece forward windscreen and no tinting. I've corrected it and am posting new renders without it. As for the camo, I've also corrected that as the colors weren't quite right. The grey was too dark in relation to the green available in LEGO's color palette, so I've dropped down a shade of grey and it's looks much more correct now. This is also fixed in the new render, as is the landing gear doors being closed when the gear are down (a feature on the real aircraft). Thanks for looking!

    This is my MOC of the Incom T-47 airspeeder, more commonly known as the snowspeeder. It features a tandem cockpit with room for two minifigures, a one piece opening canopy, swiveling rear harpoon gun, and postionable upper and lower airbrakes. Please leave comments! http://mocpages.com/moc.php/362179

    Have already been working on it. I have already updated my AV-8B, A-6, EA-6B, A-7, and F-8 galleries. Have a look!
  23. rx79gez8gundam
    Just added my AV-8B Harrier II MOC to this section, it has the same features asmy Harrier II Plus but lacks the opening radome and radar (as the earlier version of the Harrier did not have this). I finished it in the original 2 color olive drab and dark grey camoflauge scheme the Harrier II served in, and backdated the model to remove the chaff/flare dispensers at the forward base of the vertical stabilator. Have a look and leave feedback please! AV-8B Harrier II carrier based V/STOL attack/close air support/fighter aircraft
  24. rx79gez8gundam
    I would love to build it, but it would cost a considerable amount of funds to collect the necessary pieces. Also, as I used LDD Extended, some of the colors are not physically available (at least not currently). I'm hoping to be able to build one of my aircraft first, possibly my AV-8B Harrier II Plus or F-8E Crusader.
  25. rx79gez8gundam
    I need to work on a more spherical shape for the ball, probably adding at least 1.5percent in overall size. The pylon sizes are based off the movie models and are as close as possible with the limitations of available LEGO elements. I used an old Galoob Star Wars Action Fleet TIE Interceptor when making this one, as well as the other TIEs as a physical reference (extremely handy!).
