Walrus from carrier command. :)

In UK pounds its £7.45 which is very reasonable for instructions of a quality moc so I sent the payment.

I think there is an option to ignore colours in foxreader when printing, so I take it there are a lot of pages lol, no matter I use cheap ink from amazon, I'll buy this soon.

The 6141 pieces are good for getting coordinates when done like the pic, but when you attach the part the other way the light will get hidden in the piece its attached to. ldd_6141(array[1]{40},array[1]{0},array[1][12]{{0,0,0.9999997615814209,-0.99999988079071045,0,0,0,-0.99999994039535522,0,-8.0800008773803711,0.39999917149543762,6.7999997138977051}}) Copy all the numbers between the {} brackets Which is:- 0,0,0.9999997615814209,-0.99999988079071045,0,0,0,-0.99999994039535522,0,-8.0800008773803711,0.39999917149543762,6.7999997138977051 And paste between the <> brackets below. light_source {<0,0,0>, color rgb 1 matrix <> fade_distance 1 fade_power 5} Like this:- light_source {<0,0,0>, color rgb 1 matrix <0,0,0.9999997615814209,-0.99999988079071045,0,0,0,-0.99999994039535522,0,-8.0800008773803711,0.39999917149543762,6.7999997138977051> fade_distance 1 fade_power 5} Its a slightly different method but same result.

You can print these out or only view online? Do they have a white background?

My entry for the competition. 1920x1080 http://www.brickshel...ream_house1.png http://www.brickshel...ream_house2.png LXF http://www.brickshel...dream_house.lxf Lights http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/JM1971/Dream-House/lights.txt

These are my favs by far.

Mind bending just thinking about the PF, nice job indeed

I dunno, america is good price all the the time on a lot of things. 42000 is $123.92 / £74.90 42009 is $209.99 / £125.55

Not a huge deal but the price on lego.com is £79.99, plus amazon are offering a free trial of prime atm so its free next day delivery, yeah delivery on a sunday lol. Remember to cancel prime after getting the free trial unless your keeping it.

Can the entry have slapstick type of violence? Also what about having something like football pitch inside the house?

That's a good idea, will try that with a shock.

They are also good at squirting water Mythbusters series 13 episode 8 is what to watch for more info, there is a lego vacuum pump on youtube and you would just need a splitter to suck the air out the the top and bottom of a cylinder and to fire just pull the hose on the bottom. and video of it .

Technique could be used to fire stuff with a Lego pneumatic cylinder, some of these cannons can fire a ping pong ball at mach 1.4 which can make a hole in a table tennis racket, I dont have any pneumatics to test it but you could use one cylinder to pull the air out another and then use a switch to let the air back in to fire a little ball some distance.

Freewheel would save on batteries because the PF receiver reverses power to engine brake when you let go of forward on the controller, this wastes power and it would be more effeient to freewheel instead, also it would look cool because if your moc has disk brakes then you could see them working a lot better.

The service truck is 58% of the parts needed, maybe its an idea keep that in mind when redesigning or even make it out 100% out of the 9398+service truck, but if that limits artistic espression then it not a good idea at all and I should wash my mouth out with soap. Anyway the service truck is a must for building this and I dont think it will be discontinued in the near future and one of the cheapest places I've seen it is on amazon.

What I meant was the Linux version is completely different to the windows version, its intuitive and was able to use it without referring to a tutorial because its a lot like LDD.

Its coming along, waiting for certain reasons thats not for me to say. Sneaky Pic

Ok..... Installed free vmplayer virtual thing and installed ubuntu onto that, but the thing is the linux versions of ldraw is sweet, its just like LDD really, much easier to use for me...PIC Well Chuffed

Glad to hear it runs well on 8.1, changing the shortcut properties still gets the prompts in lpub, but I'll look at using a unprotected folder.

I fixed it with the task scheduler, its just that lpub takes ages to do anything otherwise.

Yeah is does but you have to keep clicking the popup loads of times when using Lpub. (when lpub keeps calling ldview when making instructions) Theres a method of bypassing UAC with task scheduler which works a treat, I'll link it because its handy.. http://lifehacker.co...tions-493128966 OOPS I posted this in the wrong forum.

LDraw work on my pc but there are problems with ldview which can be sorted by turning off uac, its a pain to do this because you have to reboot a lot. An easier way might be to download ubuntu and have a dual boot pc, the ubuntu disk takes care of the hard work for you but will ldraw run on ubuntu ok?

Is this like a Lego roadtrip with movie at the end?

Are you doing pictures for instructions when you eventually take it apart.
