Hello Everyone- First off let me apologies if I ask questions that are already discussed on the forums, please simply direct me to the proper discussion if you don't mind to make my research a bit easier. I have been a long time fan of LEGO, but really have been in a 'dark age' for a good while. Recently, I have been trying to find a hobby to mix my product design training with my desire to keep my inner child alive and well (growing up is for the birds). I went to Lego land for a vacation with my wife, and was inspired by what is even possible to make with even the most basic of LEGO bricks. As I am starting to research and develop my concept (which currently I want to remain unknown just in case I fail to even begin this project), I am trying to just practice advance SNOT techniques, and build up my library of parts while I detail my concept. I thought about just buying sets to build my set up, but that seems fairly costly, and not targeted enough to build my library of parts up fast enough. A basic concept I want to build in order to practice advance techniques would be a large flying saucer (about the size of a real life Frisbee). I thought this would incorporate a lot of SNOT techniques, and help me get a lot of useful pieces. If anyone has any help on make a large disc shape out of LEGO, what parts I need to accomplish this, and a good bulk way to purchase these parts would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have any suggestions for great builds or tutorials to help learn great advance building techniques that would be awesome as well. Thanks-
