    I love the Russian Decapod design, though I've never managed to see a real one. Very happy to see it in bricks. Do you have a side-view? The Decapod design has a notable amount of empty space below the boiler but above the frame, was wondering if it was at all possible to incorporate that feature.

    For a DC-9-50, is there an easy way to add the strakes on the nose?

    I love the Transylvania set for the castle, but the minifigs seem "excessive"----few are very unique/interesting, and seem to be there just to pad out the numbers. I'd honestly prefer half as many figs and a lower set price. Or at least one more vampire/spook instead of so many kids and "typical townsfolk".

    We finally got a Lego store around here a few months ago, so this was the first time ever I could pick up an "exclusive" set on release day. Arrived about an hour after it opened, walked right in and grabbed a Renegade, and went to the counter. In and out in about 5 mins, most of which was waiting for the people ahead of me to finish paying using a complicated mix of cash, gift cards, and credit cards.

    I'm a HUGE Countach fan and have been looking forward to this, but now that the official pics are out---I don't like the front end. Specifically, the front fender arches, and how the sides are higher than the trunk lid (frunk lid). The pure side-profile shot especially looks off to me, around the top of the fender just in front of the windshield. (the doors are also rather "flat", I expected more curvature in cross-section)

    The photo of the real one on the box, is not what the set is. Most prototype Concordes had MUCH smaller and shorter tailcones than the production versions (and most also lacked the iconic vertical-slats visor, instead having small windows). The photo on the box clearly has a tiny little stub of a tailcone. This set itself has the bigger tailcone, which means it has to specifically be the fourth prototype, F-WTSA. No other Concorde had the big tailcone and this paint scheme.

    I think printed vs stickered passenger cabin windows will be the deciding factor whether I buy it. If they do the final schemes for BA and AF, then they should be able the use the same piece multiple times along the sides to do all the windows needed, for both schemes with no stripes. Just a simple print of windows, and perhaps a dozen of them or so? (depending on scale) But if they want a ton of window-stickers going down each side---pass.

    Warm water+oxi clean works amazing on vintage sails. I did it to my original 6285 a couple years ago. Let them soak in a dish for a couple hours. (or half a day, depending)

    I'm interested in how you did the tender trucks, if you can show them a bit more?
  11. steele
    Will you be offering instructions for the modifications done?

    Anyone else think the 2022 Countach has good odds, now that Lambo has unveiled it? (While I would like a large/Technic model of it like the Sian, I think it'd be too close to the Sian time-wise, to get another large Lambo already) Or maybe the "buzz" would help also get an 80's Countach officially made?

    That is the best 4-6-0 I've ever seen----but my question is actually about the track! I love those "black-based display sections" of track you have. Could you show those (mainly the ends) in a bit more detail? I have Tony Sava's Daylight instructions, and plan to "display" it rather than run it (no room for a loop, sadly), so having something a bit more substantial than 'raw rails on the shelf' would be nice---and your tracks look very nice, exactly what I'd like to have. Are they basically just large piles of 45-degree 2x2's? Is the very bottom layer 8x16's? (and a quick check of black 8x16 prices on Bricklink makes me think maybe not, or those are quite expensive display bases!)

    Yup, could have waited and gotten everything. :(

    Risk of missing out on the shuttle because of waiting for the probe is why I went ahead. Probe could show up next week, next month, or next fall...

    I noticed the stickers were in miles etc, I wondered if perhaps there were alternative stickers provided in some regions. The instruction book itself does a very good job----for the English parts, it lists miles etc, with the metric equivalents in parentheses. But for the French and Spanish parts, it shows metric as the default, with imperial conversions in parentheses.
