its nice to inspire people. and reminds me i need to make a proper layout, instead of laying track over my desk and draws and connecting by a truss bridge.

the emarald night fits with "modern" collections, it can be a preserved steam locomotive thats been fitted to main line safty regulations(many have been)

its sort of a patch work of diffrent express steam classes, lets name the class after the head designer of the project. i didnt know what splashers where, thanks for saying that they arnt wheel archs, it just seems right, there archs above wheels. it has leads from many locos but has the A1/3 feel to it, then again many did! i want lego to make a steam freight loco now, a 2-10-0 maybe. hmm i just found this reading about the 9F on wikipedia: ". the centre driving wheels were without flanges, whilst those on the second and fourth coupled wheels were reduced in depth. This enabled the locomotive to round curves of a radius as small as 400 feet"

the chair piece is fine, it can hold a minifigure upside down. shakeing can make the minifigure come loose. in unrelated news theres no way they can speed up or change gear, only steer.

kraken attack(i think thats its name, its the one with the raft and octopus) pirate set. its a nice set, but very nice for parts, ive given it a little sail(made from the receipt) and moved the birds nest to my BB.

i have a U of track, with a sideing at one end, so i guess it counts as simple, im planing to move it to an area where i can make a full loop.

i got my first of this "misprint" today from a kraken attack set.

i dont think many bears can type... oh that kind of bear... just make sure you dont tell them where you live or where to meet you, duh!

the emerald night looks more A3 since it has the wheel archs. just a little note the flying scotsman locomotive was A1 but was upgraded to an A3. and also note the flying scotsman was/is also a train that ran from edinburgh to london but it wasnt/isn't pulled by the locomotive the flying scotmans(im not sure if they still run it under that title though). basicly im a train nerd it looks much more like an A3 since it has the larger smoke box with the angled sides and the wheel archs.

and too read the small print like the fact that bridges are counted as trackside .

lego designers have to make simple models which are easy to build, yet most of the MOCs that get shown here probelly use complex designs and are highly delicate. ive had offical models survive falls that my MOCs would shatter on! i also believe we all use old or expensive parts alot, which is counter to the avarage that we expect to pay for 1 piece.

1500! thats crazy!, really amazing, all those baseplates! all those bricks! thats just, wow! those curves are awesome!

to make the bishop higher i would of just stood him on a stand.

i wondered where i got my trans clear one of those!

you should of asked for just the crator plates, there not gonna use baseplates in the build. i wonder whats gonna happen to all those bricks one there done... lego pilgrim anyone?

you know the only diffrence ive found in my giant castle chess set is the number, the hands are the same, and the heads, they feel the same, the only diffrence is a number that probelly allows an assembly robot to recognise the piece (who would want a job putting minifigures together ), so really theres no big deal. but seeing them in makr-your-own-fig is strange, they might be cheaper to counter the people who take about 4 minifigures and put them in a pick-a-brick pot and sorround them with bricks.

i prefer a shorter range, it reduces the number of 1x1 round pieces you loss.

i can see 2 frigates here! one on the shelf in the center of the picture and one above!, just how many frigates are you makeing?

when i looked at the picture i laughed, then i read the text.

my road baseplates(i only have 4 streights ) have 6-wide green edges and old-dark grey road. im gonna buy a corner in this style for my town,

over half the population of lego city must be enployed by the emergency services and construction, so the other half must be pyromaniac criminals ! most of them are homeless(not due to lack of money but lack of houses) and the city is under constant construction(maybe there trying to build houses but dont know how)! theres not a school or play ground in sight, and theres a lack of toy shop, why?, because theres few children! it appears that all minifigures do is work, shop and eat pizza. the hospital is rather small for the ammount of accidents that must happen to give reason to the massive fire brigade and police force. if you brought all the current city sets there would be more emergency services than normal people, there would be more construction vehicles than buildings, and it would be the most polluted city ever with all the construction and helicopters and police cars going around.

i keep my broken bricks, they might be usefull, infact ive used broken bricks in models before.

..."err i thought we eat her finger" said a traveler, causeing one of the travelers who thought the finger had been chicken to be sick ...

i forgot to mention in my other post: more ships in diffrent sizes no more "bad" minifigures in the tic-tac-toe and chess. towns and civilians more pirate torsos more hat colours a ship-building set that contains the parts needed to build a ship (hull sections+bricks to link them, sails, masts, rigging, flags, ships wheels, cannons, windows, doors, a parrot and monkey and flag pieces for cannon hole covers) forts islands diffrent captains with there own flags.

war games dont really need that much updateing, but regular trimmings and work on new rules/replacement or removal of old one is nice since it refines the game to its best.
