    I mean.. there’s a picture of somekind of eldorado fortress. I was only asking if this is some “reveal” from TLG or just an example. It’s just a month left from shelves afterall 🤷‍♂️
  2. Matteo1130
    Wow, is the picture the actual set or isn’t it revealed yet? I hoped in a more “pirates of barracuda island” looking set, with sand isles and so on..

    Nice. I would buy it. Have an idea of the possible price (according to piece list and similar items)? Asking this because lots of huge ideas purposes are frequently made, some of those are probably too expensive for most of the target. This seems to be the right size!
  4. Matteo1130
    Amazing!! Do you plan to sell instructions?
  5. Matteo1130
    Helps alot. So both PU train base or motors can be inverted by a software, this looks convenient in terms of space, if compared to PF. Edit: multiple motors on one axle with differential is extremely interesting, may i find this on this portal?

    Some more questions: i’ve seen multiple train motor choices (power functions, powered up electrics, 12v, 4,5v) and also some stand alone motors too, moving simple design gearboxes. Do i need a train base, for power and strenght, or a M/L motor with a simple gearbox does better? In both cases, if i apply two motors to a train engine, does the first bothers in any way the second, or just do i have more traction? Thanks for reading!!

    Luckly i’ve landed a portal with some free mocs building instructions.. much more for freights than passenger, but it’s a way to break ice. BTW it would be nice a freight too, if included in a countryside landscape.

    Thanks all for suggestions. Have to say: 8 studs is interesting, but i’m afraid i would leave it half way in a while.. maybe it’s better to start with an easier project. Those books seems to be a great start, also considering italian language and train type!! Firstly had the Santa Fe plans from TLG official page, for reading and hopefully understanding the basics. Edit: my first attempt was to use sone space to build a countryside quarter (houses, minimarket, police station, service station) like in late 80’s sets. In this i’d like to insert a train station, so i reached this sub-forum... and got trapped!!! Back to the original project: an 8 stud train may look bulky in this background

    Since i always played static lego, i’m not confident with power function and powerup. Have to study..

    Really interesting, but very expensive to be just plans... i think i’ll try to figure something my own. Maybe i’ll correct that later.
  11. Matteo1130
    Thanks a lot for suggestions. I’ll probably look for emerald night gearpack, if it’s in my range... otherwise the train base will work (i don’t need to make a 100% accurate reproduction). Trains from TLG... well, they look too modern or ancient to me. I woukd really like to make a short-track train like ours “regionale”, with a late ‘900 look. High speed trains looks great, but they’re not for me.
  12. Matteo1130
    It really helps. Perhaps i may make some try.. the only thing i need to start is: do i need the official train base? Or may i just use some power function motor? In this case is there any tutorial for the gearpack? Because i think it would be better to make the working part and build all around that..

    Hi all, I’m Matteo from Italy. Honestly this is not the sub-forum that i read most, but after looking at this, well.. interesting! Now i’ve earned myself this under roof space that my wife doesn’t want because “ugh, spiders!!” and i’m planning to build a mini railroad and a small train just to have fun. I’m already reading as much as i can about trains on this portal, but i still need some direct tip: which width, 6, 7 or 8 studs? Do i need a train base or is there any guide to made traction with M or L lego motors for who don’t know about engineering? Where to find inspiration (maybe for italian trains)? Thanks for reading!

    Love the tuna king. It's simple, complete, all legal-connections.. might be an official lego set. I'll be glad to see instructions too!!!
  15. Matteo1130
    Simple ad great looking! Love the stern... but I would change slightly the headrails: this is how I tried: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/362883 They'revery sturdy this way (in line with the rest of your ship). Second: this is the first ship I see with great lines and no tension or semi-placed bricks!! Makes me want to build one (if I only have an LDD working PC...)

    Finally, another lego-hull moc! I mean.. I really love other brick built hull creations too, but somehow using official lego hull pieces looks more "fair" to me. It reminds me lego could be used for building detailed models, but they're still a game! Like a lot the bow and the way the red combines with old brown, unfortunately the windows on the stern looks a bithidden in this color scheme. Really appreciate you didn't made the gunport too near each other (2 studs or so) to increase the gun count...
  17. Matteo1130
    Great!! If this was on Lucca comics and games, now I'm really sorry for loosing that.. Do you plan another display on events?
  18. Matteo1130
    Uhm... I've probably exagerated my reaction. The best way to know if TLG did a good work or not is to try to reinterpretate them. I'm personally on using digital designer and replicate the concept from the kits I like less, and try to make my interpretation using the maximum amount of pieces written on the box.. It will take a while, I'm not that good with LDD ;)
  19. Matteo1130
    Hope to see changes in future, the only thing I really dislike is the huge step backwards in designing. An emprovement in design could change heavily my first impression. Indeed TLG have the priority to sell toys and not to surprise afols, so studs shooter, palm tree etc is ok for their purpose. But the design is too "naif" for a pirates theme.

    I honestly can't understand those who likes these sets. All of them talked about detailing or using some of the bricks.. I'm wondering in wich way this could be different from bricklinking. UE customers have to face this fact: 9usd, 19usd etc magically became 9euro, 19euro etc.. so the european customer who wants only minifigs doesn't have any interest on buying the complete set, bricklinking dollar-priced minifigs outside UE. The only armybuilder to consider is the cannon battle-like set, which has an acceptable price for its contents.
  21. Matteo1130
    Hmmm is there any chance these are not the real kits? Maybe some fake to see how the public reacts? 'Cause these kits looks like put together in 10 minuts. Low minifig count etc... I don't think I'm buying any...
  22. Matteo1130
    I like it sooo much! Don't need thousands pieces to make something really good!
  23. Matteo1130
    Uhm... I can't hope for another IF style ship. Indeed I've promised myself never to buy again another "rised cabin ship" or "flat non-tumblehome-ribbed sides". To me, an UCS is for AFOL as it's priced for them.. Ummester's gilded crow demonstred it's possible to build a plausible look with legal connections genuine construction, so I'll be very critic on price/quality before buying. I think things would be different about an eldorado fortress re-release or similar... or even better for an UCS fortress, wich I'd love too see (on my shelf!!) designed by TLG.
  24. Matteo1130
    Wow. Absolutely similar.
  25. Matteo1130
    Don't think it needs presentation ;) It's not a moc of mine, just a find, but I think it worths support: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/72407 In the updates there are newer pictures..
