  1. Hello to all friends, Romans, and LEGO men. This is one of the buildings on the train layout in my basement. I know about the crappy image resolution, but hey, let's see you try to take a picture of something in your basement using Photo Booth. A front view of the station. Not much to say except it's a very busy Sunday. View facing east. Please ignore my little brother's dirt scraper in the background. View facing west. Notice the semaphore signal and buffers. View of the café and booking office. The refreshment lady is brewing up some hot coffee. View of the Railway director's office. It looks very similar to the office in 4554, doesn't it? View of the engine platform. A cat is in the back by the buffers trying to catch a rat for supper. View of the depot with #10194 and another MOC standing beside it. "Goodbye for now!" Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
  2. There were no other huts around the Customs House that first winter. The Customs House was the only house there at the time.
  3. Happy Thanksgiving! Plymouth Colony For more images, click here. For more information on the REAL Plymouth, clickhere. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
  4. Probably not, since this ship was used with LDD LU mode.
  5. Why, yes I do.
  6. Hello, Historic-theme-obsessed-people! And Happy Thanksgiving as well! Getting into the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am going to make Thanksgiving-related MOC's all throughout the month of November. To get the ball rolling, let us start with: The Mayflower First of all, for those who don't know, a bit of background on the Pilgrims: The Pilgrims were a group of Protestants living in England during the 17th century. They belonged to a church group called the Separatist church, so called because they "separated" from the Church of England. The King told them to keep to the Church of England, but they didn't. To escape religious persecution, they fled to Holland. That didn't work out so well because they didn't know the language and were afraid that their children were moving towards the Dutch ways. They heard of religious freedom in Virginia, so they asked the King of England if they could go to America, and he gave them a charter of land near the Hudson River area of New York. The Pilgrims acquired two ships, the Mayflower and the Speedwell, and sailed to the port of Southampton, England to take on passengers and supplies for the rough journey ahead. The Speedwell's captain was too cowardly to go ahead, so he caused a leak on his ship on purpose and stayed in Europe. With the Speedwell damaged, all of the Pilgrims had to climb into the tiny Mayflower. The Mayflower departed from Plymouth harbor on September 6, 1620 with 102 passengers, including at least two dogs, with William Bradford as leader. On the trip over, the Pilgrims suffered many hardships. Five passengers died at sea. One baby was born on the voyage and named Oceanus Hopkins. While sailing to America, the Mayflower was caught in a storm and instead of sailing straight to the Hudson River, they sailed north into New England. On November 9, 1620; land was spotted from the Mayflower, but before anyone could leave, they had to sign the Mayflower Compact, a list of laws that all colonists had to obey. Anyways, enough history, on to the build. The MOC Obviously, I made the Mayflower with LDD only because I didn't have the bricks at hand to make such a huge ship. A view of the decks: The kitchen at the front of the boat: I feel sorry for those Pilgrims, eating only watery soup and hardly anything else. The cargo hold: Governor Bradford's quarters: The guy with the armor is Captain Miles Standish, the military leader. For more images of the ship, click here. Stay tuned! Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
  7. I am a member of Luther's church, and I admire the good job you've finished. Also, after Luther finished translating, he took on a disguise as a knight.
  8. Hello, people. I have recently been building some Thanksgiving-themed MOC's and I am wondering if anybody else in the Historical Themes forum has used Pilgrims in any MOC's before. Please leave your creations in the section below. Always entertaining, always pondering, always:
  9. Hello, Eurobrickers! Here is yet another train that I have built using LDD. A Hunslett Austerity 0-6-0ST. Though I don't usually do this, in this review I will be cutting it up here and there. A look at the cab interior: Inside the water tanks: A look at the device keeping the pistons in place: Click here for how I bought it at the scrapyard and fixed her up. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
  10. How sad. May the good Lord watch over him.
  11. My points go to: ThePenguin: 1 alanboar HK: 1 Captain Genaro: 1
  12. This set takes me back to when I was four and helping out with the harvest. Only, our combine didn't poop out haybales! All in all, great review.
  13. A very nice review. Though, I could catch some inaccuracy. Southwestern Indians did not have totem poles. They were in Oregon. Tepees were only used by Nomadic tribes. Most Southwestern tribes lived in adobe buildings or hogans. All in all, TLC introduced some culture to Europe and the rest of the world. I say great job.
  14. If you click on my MOC page link in the signature below, you can see one of my Christmas engines there.
  15. What can I say, sir; but I LOVE IT!
  16. Easy. 1. Take a screenshot of the model you made 2. Go into MicroSoft Paint 3. Make all the dubs you want on Paint 4. Save and you're all set.
  17. Feel free to comment on the creations. I made these using LDD and remaking the torsos on MicroSoft Paint. Firstoff: Charlie Chaplin (c. 1917) Next we have the geeky, but lovable: Harold Lloyd (I couldn't find a normal straw hat, so I used an Adventurer's Hat). And for some more comic mayhem, please welcome two minds without a single thought: Stanley Laurel and Oliver Norville Hardy. Thanks for looking, see you in the funny papers. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
  18. If LEGO made them, I would like the greencoats (Hessian Soldiers). But, the bluecoats are great, too. They remind me of circa 1776 Soldiers of the Continental Army.
  19. This sunday on CBS they interviewed various AFOL's on their hobby and profession. You can view the video here. Under the photo is a link to an interview with an AFOL CBS News
  20. It looks like the cat is violating that little boy.
  21. I say that 6-wide is the easiest to do, but I know another width that works: 5-wide. Click on the link to my MOCpage below and you can see one of mine.
  22. Ha ha ha ha ha I've been watching The Office ever since it first aired on NBC, and you did a great job on making the cast. It's so great that you get 10 out of 10 stars from a skilled LEGO comedian.
  23. Okay, okay. Here is how. 1. I chose a Space Skulls Torso 2. I took a picture of it and re-opened the picture in MS Paint 3. I highlighted the coat lines with black paint. 4. I chose the gold paint and designed the cross on his coat 5. I added the three white dots on the breast of the coat.
  24. Here is a link to the newer, less offending poster. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46699
