  1. Wow, beautiful design for that base! I really like the detail of the entrance door
  2. I love these new sets! Top notch work!
  3. This photo is impressive! The detail of the shrouds and sails is wonderful...the pirate flag totally rock me!
  4. Impressive project...the locomotive windshield reminds me of set 744! Great use of colors!
  5. Wow...if I had a set like this in 1977 I would have gone totally crazy!
  6. The mechanical features implemented (suspension, gearbox and steering) are fantastic...but the first photo oooh man the first photo is a masterpiece!
  7. Oooh beautiful design and lovely tunnel
  8. I have the original set but I think it's much more blocky than this one which has great personality! Excellent construction techniques!
  9. Stunning work! the amount of plates for the sea is incredible! Beautiful details all around!
  10. This is the best possible version ...the original seems like a long banana in comparison! Thanks for sharing the instructions, I will definitely modify mine!
  11. No way... How did you get this truck powered? ...perfect and incredible work!
  12. Wow very nice scale ...amazing pictures!
  13. I finally understood why the pirate section seems to have a life of its own!
  14. Wow, this is really huge! Fantastic ship and amazing building technique!
  15. I totally agree. I'm not on any social media (except Youtube and Brickshelf), maybe because I'm too old for these things or maybe because I don't believe in social media and I don't have time for them. I like EB and I love this community, where the focus is not on snooping around users' private facts but on sharing experiences and technical solutions related to the brick hobby. However, even here friendships are born and consolidated over time, thanks to an increase in mutual respect and teamwork ...so this is perfect for me! I believe that the original intention (which has been maintained) was exactly this: to share ingenious constructions and solutions with other users with equal interests. Emanuele a.k.a. LT12V
  16. Thanks @Toastie! What can I add to so much (and welcome) goodwill? What you say is correct: I added the motorization by rearranging where to put the PF receiver and the batteries. I proceeded to drill some pieces to fit the 3 mm LEDs into the plates (once upon a time I limited myself to drilling the bricks for the 5 mm LEDs) in what an ever-evolving world we live in? As for the welding, I don't have any photos, because I find them uninteresting but I certainly improved my skills by using heat-shrinkable cable ties which I didn't use until 8 years ago. I preferably turn on the lights with a separate switch (so as not to occupy the already limited PF control channels) and using a circuit powered by an independent battery (so as not to remove energy from the engine)... there are obviously exceptions, especially if the models are small. All the best Emanuele What I like is that they have a train department that expands year after year, with a number of models that would make Marklin pale. For me it's a source of comparison and inspiration (sadly more than the official Lego catalogue).
  17. Hello @Duq, in reality it should be a tank wagon for the transport of hydrochloric acid and bleach, but due to the black color I like to think that it's a wagon carrying bituminous oils
  18. I'm not the author, it's a model produced by Bluebrixx Thanks, I think it's a nice combination!
  19. Hello everyone, today I want to present this new freight train consisting of the DB 232-254-3 alias "Ludmilla" and 6 wagons for the transport of prefabricated concrete beams. The train comes from Bluebrixx to which I made modifications on the baseplate, I added the lights and the motorization (performed with two 14500 lithium batteries). For the wagons (again always from Bluebrixx), two of the four anchor points were removed so that the concrete beam can slide during curves and allow the wagons to be correctly attached. Here you can find a video and some more pictures of the convoy. See you with next project...
  20. This project becomes more and more interesting, it deserves to be published on Lego Idea or better yet on Rebrickable!
  21. This leader looks perfect! Great attentions to details!
