Interesting. So in other words it's something like this? الإ ما رات

I posted this on YouTube a couple days ago along with a little promotional image for it on flickr where the meme had been circulating just to attract some feedback, but I wanted to share it here too. I've tied together a bunch of images of various MOCs 97.16 percent of which are not mine but from various great builders across the online community. The full accredited list of those whose works I have used is as follows (in the order of their appearance). Astronaut 1 by Louise Dade Astronaut 2 by Johnmnight Astronaut 3&4 by Balaklov Bridge by Steven Purvis Great White by Ghoulrealm Photographer by Echao City (Shannonia) skyline by Shannon Young Deadliest Catch ship by Ken Osbon Zulu warriors by Tristan Cormack Shaka Zulu by Jared Burks Surfer girl by Tupperfan Dirty tunnel by Keith Goldman Nascar/Mecha Race by Chrispockster Egyptologist (Topslice) by Jordan Schwartz Buddhist shrine by Triathletus Submarine by Dave De Gobbi Rock concert by DerJoe Belville Bazooka by Justin Vaughn Burning house by Derek Schin Windy scene by Zgrredek Etymologist Patrick Yrizzary Mt. Doom magma by RebelRock Giant Squid by Dave De Gobbi Fireworks by Moko Mythbusters by BecTodd Steven Hawking by Mike Crowley BASE-jumper (the only thing that's mine) Globe by Maskatron If you happen to be interested in seeing any additional pictures of any one of the individual pieces, feel free to request the respective gallery and I'll be able to find it for you, or if you prefer one can always by all means run some web searches for the builder's name in quotation marks and if needed the word LEGO directly outside them to find some of their material. Anyway, the link to my LEGO rendition of the commercial can by found here - while the original clip posted by the Discovery Channel can be found here - Thanks for looking.

Wikipedia gives the Arabic name of the Emirates Airline as: الإمارات Looks pretty close to what you're looking for.

I just wanted to say; felicem diem natalem!

Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Teddy! The river consists of a handful or so of 1x2 trans plates, 1x1 trans round plates, 1x1 trans round bricks, and 1x1 trans "cheese" slopes simply dumped into the "canal". Well, except for the ends where they're built up to prevent overflow onto the table.

I return today to give a few belated thanks to those whose comments came in after I had taken leave and also to offer those interested a shot of my expanded setup, now elevated on an actual hill, I have room for the actual underground shaft visible around the back. More and better quality photographs to come once I get the chance for the first time in weeks to work on it further this coming weekend.

Hey, welcome to the discussion; it's so nice to see the builder of this magnificent piece joining in! I'd have to write several paragraphs in description of all the little details I love so much, but in short I can say that this is one of the very most meticulously crafted and authentically styled historical based creations in a good many of those that I can remember. From the pointed arches and ribbed vault in the front and interior to the flying buttresses in the rear and the stained glass all around, the exemplification of High Medieval age Gothic style is at an extent above of all else architecturally comparable! When I first came across this yesterday I browsed through every single photo in the showcasing gallery with a pipe organ transcription of Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre playing in the background; it was a very riveting experience.

I very much recommend Stanley Kubrick's cinematic masterpiece "Barry Lyndon".

I just found another female minifig "Beauty Pageant" photo. Seems to be a pirate wench from a set we haven't seen yet on the left and one of the medieval market girls on the right.

It seems that the recently released "Medieval Market Village" pictures have provided us with some high quality shots of some of the new molds to be released in the upcoming pirate theme including the hat plume/flame pieces, the decorative support/telescope pieces, and a new fish mold. If you haven't already seen them in the History and Adventure forum, check out the pictures below of the respective parts taken by Hinckley at the currently ongoing BrickCon '09. http://brickzone.net/images/eurobricks/sta...uff/mmv/019.jpg http://brickzone.net/images/eurobricks/sta...uff/mmv/022.jpg http://brickzone.net/images/eurobricks/sta...uff/mmv/003.jpg In addition, further photographs from BrickCon uploaded to flickr by Lego ambassador Andrew Becraft give us a peek at a mermaid figure for an upcoming set - one likely to be mass produced as the figurehead on the pirate ship of the 2009 product line. Edit: Lastly, another attendee and ambassador, Nannan Zhang, has put up a shot of the "Governor's Daughter" minifigure to be released with the same pirate ship.

In addition to the orc queen we also have photos of an upcoming human queen as well, shown next to the Temple of Doom Willie Scott in this photograph courtesy of Mr. Nannan Zhang.

This is really nice one, Jordan, but I especially like it as a seasonal transition getting into that timeless autumn/harvest/Halloween spirit for the upcoming month of October, something that I especially can associate with New England. I'm also thinking it would be great to see an interior around the back considering you've left it open by only including two out of the four walls. Editing and thinking back, I forgot how much excess blockliness protrudes from the back of front wall, so disregard that interior comment. It's still all awesome, however, just to restate.

I know of some nice brickbuilt hammocks in the crew quarters of Ben Fleskes' USS constitution.

I agree, thanks for posting this great find, Emperor. Mr. Florea's work is always top notch from what I've seen of it following his flickr stream. Here's the link for Mr. Phes. http://flickr.com/people/olog/

Ah, I've admittedly never played the game, but that does look like some nice fry and dusty industrial atmosphere you have going there. Thanks for the tip! Oh, introduce myself to who? Thanks very much my friend, but I'm sorry to say that the pulley system is not much in the way of perfected at the moment and really only serves a decorative purpose. Many thanks for the compliments, but I'm going to have to answer in the negative in regards to your question. Unfortunately enough, whenever I'm inspired to build a new one, I've always torn down the old one for pieces. But that's what the hobby's all about, isn't it? Ah, Mr. Norro! So good to see you here; now what is this putt putt of which you speak? Would that involve the mine cart, perhaps? If that is so, then I can understand your compulsion - about half the small childen who walked up to this at Brickfair were internally forced to slide the cart up and down the tracks. Thanks again to all else for the great feedback!

Wow, so many great comments in the past couple hours I've been out that replying directly to all of them would probably exceed the 20 emotion limit! However, I do really appreciate reading all of them. Thanks so much, everyone. Sure was! That's how I got my hands on

If my recent Wells Fargo Assay Office was considered "Episode 1" in a new series of Old West MOCs, I guess this one is the previously unreleased (and unbuilt) pilot episode. And if it were to be later produced as a film, I suppose it could form a sister series to "Pirates of the Caribbean", also being based on a Disneyland park amusement ride (Big Thunder Mountain). The only regret is that I didn't have enough spare trans-clear elements for the water flow in the sluice. And here's a gallery - http://flickr.com/photos/agent_oo7/tags/sluice/ and just in case anyone's interested, some of my inspiration came from here - http://flickr.com/search/?w=faves&q=thunder here and here - http://flickr.com/photos/forwardlookguy/166044992/ http://www.wildwestmodels.com/Flack_Mine_product.html and unfortunately, here - http://tylerhere.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/egg3.jpg Thanks for looking.

Yup, I rebuilt the howitzer just to bring along with me. Thanks again. Sitting next to my more intricate and respectively impressive Western Goldmine and Japanese Teahouse, it honestly didn't get as much attention from most of the visitors who came by the table, but I did get some nice compliments nonetheless from the castle/semi-ancient room coordinator Ben Ellerman and also Brickarms owner Will Champman who liked the use of his M1 Garand model both here and in some of the other pirate stuff my brother and I took along. http://www.flickr.com/photos/billthefish/2812644228/ That;s actually a single door attached on it's side serving as a dock. I agree, the design of that playmobil set does look very well done. It's also a little similar to my model, which is also cool. Thanks for sharing those photos (and also for the great compliments, as always).

Well, having added the roof shingles and displayed it at Brickfair, I suppose this is now finished.

Hi all, I suppose I come here with something of a update on this for you all. I have found that some of newer prototype models given to me at Brickfair by the incredibly generous Brickarms vendors Will and Chandler can be integrated fairly nicely into the pirate theme, particularly this early mold of a double-barrel shotgun currently lacking a barrel and stock thereby causing it to resemble an 17/18th century double-barreled flintlock pistol very well (And as always, the quality is superb).

I picked the new choice, late 2008. Although advertised for 2009, these always pop up in TRU earlier, around mid December for some last minute holiday shopping. It's almost 2009, but not quite.

Hello again everyone! I made this a little while ago, probably should have posted it sooner, and remain unsure whether I should create a new topic, so I figured I'd just post it here before this topic got buried any further. This was a potential addition to my original diorama, something I built along with the initial work but didn't make the final cut for inclusion. It's a zen rock garden, bonsai tree, torii gate, and naginata samurai. There's also a nice stepping stone path and raked sand effect too, but it's difficult to see from this silly angle at which I took the photograph..... Thank you. That is all.

Good ear! Marty Robbins it is indeed, but half the praise should go to Keith Goldman for the idea. (For such an old idea, it's really great how useful it turned out to be) Nah, that's not the right war! Plus, I really like the fife and drums throughout this particular piece, a piece whose mp3 format I hyperlinked when I posted the vignettes in their original topic. So that one's also an idea I've had for a while. I think I'll add a poll to this topic here....

Over the past couple days I've been piecing together some digitally composed shorts to display some of my various past creations that have had some significant historical background. First came El Pueblo Bandolero, my first large scale diorama to be themed in accordance with the America Old West. Eurobricks Topic Next came The Battle of Lexington Green, a pair of vingettes based off the American Revolutionary War. Eurobricks Topic And for the third and final came my second and most recent Western themed diorama, the Wells, Fargo, & Company Overland Express and Assay Office. Eurobricks Topic Comments, criticisms, critiques, complains, compliments and questions welcome. Oh, and expect a third large-scale Western diorama soon.

Not yet, Lord Admiral, it's only a WIP! I'll be posting some updated pictures later on featuring those roof shingles but I still need to figure out whether or not to somehow work in that small cutter..... Ah, thanks very much for your feedback! Thank you, Commodore. I most certainly can get that up for you but be warned, I had to play with the size and the red hue to get it the best match. Somehow I found the red one of the toughest colors to work with and could only reach satisfaction with the use of glossy photo paper, unlike blue, black, or grey torsos that I've printed in the past on regular paper..... And just to reiterate, I have designed this torso over another one made by one of our members (ImperialShawdows) only leaving the bandoliers and the center black buttons from the original. So, partial credit goes to him.
