First up for the proof of concept is the 4.5 inch gun on the proper version of the gun the barrel will be covered by technic round connectors as well as having the body of the gun done as well What do you think of this proof of concept and is there any suggestions that you have

I know that is why I am doing it over a period of time

I have now started aa topic for the atual model which you can see here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?...mp;#entry666264

Hi Guys I have, as you may already know decided to build a minifig scale model of a Royal Navy Typre 45 Destroyer, this will be an ongoing moc and as I complete sections I will post here as well as any questions I may have for some of the great modellers here. I am not sure how long this model will take to be built but I am estimating about 1 year The model will have a detailed bridge and hanger. So first the approxamate specs: Scale = 1/45th Length = about 3.38m Hight = 74cm The hip will be built in about 7 main sections with things like the mast, gun and bridge and hanger being seperate sections. What I will also do is post proof of concept models which will then tell me what you guys think of each section

I realise how many bricks and approx how much it would cost, I already have about £3,000 worth of lego, also this would be one of my most expensive models however I spent about £70 on an airfix kit one and I also spent about £900 on an radio controled car so this may be expensive but if I buy it in bits and build it over a period of time, say 1 year the cost will not seem as much

Hi Ralph, your friend has wonderfull models, I may use elements of the design of HMS Edinburgh with mine, for the 114mm gun on HMS Edinburgh do you know what he used for the barrel as I am unsure what to do for it I have already built a smaller scale version a few days before the real HMS daring was launched here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?...c=31442&hl= is that some sort of offer also do you have a link to Mark Rodrigues models as I would love to see them For the size I have worked out that total length will be 3.38m and approximate hight from floor to top of radar will be 74cm as I plan to do a waterline model as that would cut down about 16cm hight wise Also for the storage issue I have already though about that. I will build the model in 50cm sections which will mean that there will be about 7 sections

would bricklink be a good source of parts or would lego provide large quantatys of parts , I am trying not to spend too much on this model. Also what do you guys find easier when builting models of ships, waterline models or full hull models

Hi I am hoping to eventually build a true to minifig scale Royal Navy Type 45 Destroyer but I have a couple of questions 1. If the ship was 154m long in real life what lenght would it be in minifig scale 2. how would you build the bow of a ship in lego Any help would be greatly appreciated P.S sorry mods if this is in the wrong section

I know it works with xp as I got the official lego studios xp disk, what I have now decided to do is buy a mini wireless camera to attach to my nxt which was what the lego cam was going to be used for

what do you guys think of the update ir do you see anything that could be changed all comments and critisms appreciated

OK here is it with a black snorkel (cheese slope at the top is white because I don't have any black cheese slopes)

sodo you think I will not be able to use the camera with vista

Here is bricklingston after the new year updates Fist up is the airport with the improved security building here we have the new motorised wind turbine as well as the vehicle hire store new gates have been added to the presedential compound the town square no longer has the christmas tree but it now allows more room for the citizens of Bricklingston here is the redesigned skate park and hire shop and finally a better view of the hire shop, the research center and the basketball court which is currently being used as a rc track

what do you think of the updates, do you think the snorkel is a good idea or not all comments and critism is appriciated

OK then what do you think of this new front

I have taken your advice on board and done a couple of mods to it and this is what it now looks like

An absolutly brilliant moc the details are incredible may I suggest for you elivator you connect a bit of string running from the elivator to a pf motor somewere whcih would allow your elivator to be motorised

thanks for moving it the OS that I am using is vista home premium I got a reply back from lego saying they could not help as it is a discontinued product

Here are the pics of the revisions

I will try lowering the wheels a bit to see if that will help, I will post images of it later and I have just as I have been writing this realised that the windows that are used for the windsscreen can be used for the sides thanks ralph also lightningtiger it is meant to be blocky as it is a h1, big bricks as some have called them

Here is my MOC/MOD of a hummer and horsebox owned by the mounted division of Bricklingston's Police Department The Hummer The Interior whcih can fit 2 minifigs The Back with storage area The storage area The hummer and horsebox The Back of the horsebox with police lights Please tell me what you think

I have noticed that there are attually 2 escaltors, one from the ground to second then one going from second to third

Thanks I have now ordered a couple from bricklink

I have resized and ajusted the pic that legoliner piolt posted to create what I think is a high quality large version of the pic

I have just realised that the shell tanker is not my oldest set as I have a lego brick which does not have anything on the bottom so it is hollow, any ideas from when this is from
