Skinny Boy

Thanks Natman! I always like to keep a bit of comedy in everything. Glad I intrigued you Ricecracker. I was thinking of having this involved with Enough, but I doubt they'll have any connection (other than my city's name). Thanks! BTW Part 2 was shot today, so expect it up later!

(Hi there. Some of you may have read my Post-Apoc story 'Enough'. Well here I am with an even better story (it actually goes somewhere!), set in the not too distant future. With inspiration from: Fallout 3, I robot, V for Vendetta, Project Eden, and other places, I hope you'll like it as much as I've enjoyed writing and building. Well, here it is: Space-Time Confidential!) Prologue: Cedar Bay, 2034. The City is booming. People are enjoying happy lives. A new Government and Economy are proving more than successful, but nobody's perfect. The City's crime remains ever popular, with last nights raid on the City's Elite Guard Armory causing panic among citizens. A city-wide search has just been undertaken to find those responsible, and to retrieve all stolen arnaments. 2 Troopers were issued a mapping droid, and given the 1 in a millionth chance task, to search the lowest levels of the city. Part 1: Searching For Discovery. Troopers Carl Grant and Hank McFarlane were the two sent downstairs. Carl: "Hank, why is the ground green?" Hank: "I dunno man, but that ain't no grass. But I can see why we were sent down here: I can't see a thing." "Same here, oh wait. Theres some kind of bridge here. And I think I see a fence." "Well get movin' then." Hank: "Wow. I can see nothing from up here." "Come on man, whats on the other side of this fence?" Carl: "HEY! Don't you move a muscle!" "What? What is it? Is it him? Or them?" Carl: "Buddy, put that down and step towards me." "Now, who are you? What were you doing? And what on earth is going on here?!" "Well, I don't remember my real name. People started calling me 'Smack' around ten years ago. I was getting a drink, and what do you mean 'whats going on'?" "Ok, Smack... I mean, why is the ground green, and why is there such a big fog around? Are you saying you've been down here for ten years?" "Naw, I only came down here about a year and a half ago. I dunno about the fog, but I was told the ground is green from the acid rain pile up some years back. Seeped into the soil, destroyed everything. Even startin' to get through the buildin' right there." "Acid rain? I doubt that was what did all this. Hank?" Hank: "Hmm, I say we get the droid in, get some pics, and show 'em to the Mayor." "Good idea. Smack, we'll be back here in a few minutes. Start practicin' your smiles." The Troopers later returned and photographed everything in sight. They left to show it to the Mayor. Well, thats the end of part 1. Hopefully i've intrigued at least one person. Stay tuned, but then again, I have no clue when the next part could be. Thanks for looking!

Some of you may have seen my "Too Much, Too Modern" creation in the T&T forum. As said there, this was built for a military contest on Flickr, and after a couple weeks of modding, I finished and photographed it today. Here it is: Rest of the pics can be seen here (when moderated) Brickshelf Some facts: My first MOC to be 100% studless, Consists of 5 removable SNOT modules and the base built building, Weighs... a lot Piece count.... a lot Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the replies everyone, though I wish ithadn't turned into a fight about MM I've decided to build a series of Space MOCs (after a contest has ended) and see if I enjoy the build as much as i've enjoyed thinking of the ideas in my head. All I can say is I've got some really great inspiration from 2 games, and 2 movies. Lets still hope I can make something original! Thanks!

Thanks for this Eilif! Really informative, and will certainly be remembered by me when if I get to a PAB with cups. Aww, poor you. I wish they'd put a PAB in Ireland!

All very nice looking Penguin! Though I can't help but feel I've seen one of those hooligans before. Maybe it was here?

Skin-neh Boieeeee. Something along those lines.

Well, I think this is my first topic in this forum, so be gentle. I've seen that literally loads of people lately have started sorting their Lego collections. I've also noticed that in order to do that, they've broken up most sets and creations. And then to build a future creation, would eventually lead to breaking and sorting itself. This got me thinking. I thought of building something so big, that it used up all (or as close to as possible) of the pieces in your collection. This then lead me to the Space forum. My main theme interests are Town and Military, so I could easily come up with the idea of a giant town and military base, but, what will I do with all those SW sets? Seriously? To follow my main theme interests, i'd be leaving out a fair amount of my collection (a lot of which I still love) from the giant creation. So, my combination of Town/City MOCs and sets, and SW sets made Space seem like the best theme to build in. Also the fact that I have only a few colours in bulk, for buildings, streets etc. Now then, to build, or not to build? That is the question. I mean, destroying nearly a whole collection (its only about 10-12 years worth ) to make one giant MOC, it has its ups and downs. It would free up space all around the house (putting everything in one place), Might destroy some great old memories OR make several new ones!, Could be an amazing MOC (see here for my main inspiration ), Would be so fun to make! - as i've said, Space and Mecha combines so many different themes, and allows pretty much every piece to be used: Old Historic stuff-Make a museum!, Regular Modern Day stuff-Keep it around (not everything has to be futuristic), and of course the Actual Space Stuff-Use it to your hearts content! Plus, the fact that a futuristic city could be in ruins, a war, or booming with success! Phew, that sure tired me out. So, i'm not going to ask you all to tell me whether I should or should not destroy my collection to build this (no matter how much encouragement I get ), I'm just going to ask if you agree; Is Space the Ultimate Theme? i.e. does it allow for anyone to build, have such great flexibility, the ability to host several other themes. Now, goodnight

Original MTT. Spent so long saving up for it, then it was gone! Like the wind...

5 days... and still waiting for the review

Find x, when y=14.07124728 (y)^2 - 2x = x 66

Well, yeah I suppose. The seasons definitely have an affect on my mood, which in turn would make me want to build. I may build better when i'm happier, but maybe I would'nt necessarily build a happier creation when i'm feelin good

May be forced into one with the current economic recession. Just look at this!

Well, it sounds interesting, but I doubt i'd want to buy one. Also, what practical use other than measuring out space on say, a table, for a 22 stud squared creation? You know what I mean, is there much need for something to measure studs when they're not that hard to count Good luck with selling though.

Everything looks great Badger! Yet, I can't order until sometime next week Hope Will has some left

I realised now I'm having issues with logging in. I never reset my cookies when the site moved some time ago, and since then I have been logging in every time I came to the site. Now, its kinda random. Like this morning, I went onto EB, and I was already logged in. Its not a problem, just starting to give me false hope that it may happen again

I haven't had the privelege to buy any City sets recently, with the modulars being too expensive, and the classic's, well, where are they? I voted no, since I really prefer playability in the Classic style. Then again, I have no idea if they fit well together or not!

Dr Steve: 3 - Makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it! Toutouille: 2 - Such a great idea, and very well done considering the lack of Pirate pieces. Infomaniac: 2 - Really great scene with the upstairs meeting, and the downstairs battle :pir-skull:

Nice one Dave. Maybe Tuesday's budget will have: "TLC Advertising: €4m". They're gonna need every cent!

Sorry, I was just wiping my face clean of vomit. €50? Thats just too many profanities in one. Simon, seriously? Interesting. But sort of unreliable.

#1 I may buy if it gets cheaper or its featured in a sale. #2 I really wish you'd post more pics

Ooooh, no can do. Count me out.

I suppose I could play, but do you have any idea when it could end? I know i'll be very busy after 2 weeks, so I can't be checking this all the time.

Well, this is exceptionally bad news for me, as it was recently discovered/compiled, that Ireland has no PAB's!

Very interesting Matn. Definitely one of my favourite zombie situatiuons I cannot believe you brought that up. Twas my first thought on seeing this creation. I only saw that a few weeks ago, and I'll give a fair warning to anyone who wants to see it. Though i'd say the book is great.
