  1. Thanks Oky.

    For me the first pic was not a box art but just a clean pic. But I've removed it.

    The second pic composed of 2 pics could be easily be taken in one shot.

    This is just a little montage but I don't think I could be desqualified for this.

    It can't be considered as a seven pic in my own.

    BTW I'll try to take a new pic this week !

    thanks for the tips Oky, thanks ;)

  2. I HATE you my friend ! I Hate you ! :sweet:

    This moc is very incredible.

    I just think you should add a pic of the whole MOC to appreciate the entire

    dimension of it !

    Really nice parts use (NPU !!!!!)

    and nothing more to say it's just a really nice and pure moment of happiness to look closely at your moc

    it will look nice above the dojo ;)

  3. Thanks all for your remarks.

    I'll try to answer to all our interrogations :

    Minus the modular feature, but thats still really cool! oh, I thought I knew who I would vote for, but now I'm not so sure..

    the modular feature is something new I've tried to incorporate to a D2C set.

    This set could be a little bit expensive that's why I purpose to own it step by step for

    everyone.

    Anyway if you want to buy it in one set it's still possible ;)

    The medieval market is a little bit modular in his way doesn't it ?

    Moreover you can have 9 in 1 dojo !!

    Simply outstanding!!

    This is what I'm talking about , pushing the envelope that little bit further default_thumbup.gif

    Many have said that some entries are too this or not enough that , but as LEGO continue to up the level of awesome you can't hold too much stock in what has been done before and must look to the future of sets.

    Who would have guessed the level of detail in the "Grand Emporium" or style and size of the "Death star" before thier release.

    This is the kind of set I want to see released not a carbon copy of an already released set design.

    Goods luck in the comp... you rock!default_thumbup.gif

    Thanks Taz'Manaic, That's exactly what I've try to do. Increase the concept and try to develop something new with still keeping the spririt of a D2C set.

    I agree. Lego designers need to start thinking big in order to sell to the older audience.

    As for this creation, you did just a wonderful job. The diorama fits perfectly (even if it is not part of the actual set).

    I've try to create a set for every one of us : Afol, and Tfol.

    Afol could buy the set in one time but Tfol with less money could step by step acquired an UCS set in a D2C style too !

    Christmas, birthday, it's possible to offer few little set in a cheap price in order to build a big moc !

    I think about the death star. When I was young, impossible to pretend to have this set one day, too expensive but if Lego have ever tried to develop the idea of few middle set that could be add together to make a 10188 maybe I could have it sooner !

    Mightily impressive creation lego-maniac! The modular function is a pretty ingenious idea that would certainly be a welcome concept for possible future sets. The build of this temple is simply majestic that it really makes for an excellent diorama display. Kudos for this wonderful build! :thumbup:

    thanks a lot !

    Wow, that's a really lovely, lovely design. :wub: Great work! I love the idea of the modularity, although i do wonder how much it weakens the structure by dividing it up the way you have?

    Best of luck in the contest! :classic:

    even in little elements, they are strong !

    It's not very clear on the pics presented but if you look more closer at the gallery, you could see that there is pylon behind the wall.

    look at this pic : http://legomaniac.canalblog.com/albums/dojo/photos/63797838-p1070058.html

    you can see that there is horizontal line of 4 round brick 1X1 round.

    I've also but a bar inside and it's all cliped behind the wall.

    each element are very consolidated

    Excellent construction, interesting idea. Only problem I have with the modularity (?) is that the build process could be a bit too repetitive. But it looks great, and the ability to have different combinations is a really good added feature for such a set.

    I see what you mean. When you look closely, all the 4 corner elements are exactly the same, but linear element are a bit different. you have windows or door...

    It also due to the fact that I've keep in mind the concept to build a big set with a lot of little set. I don't want to make 4 or 5 different little set to keep the idea of the concept

    The architecture of japan dojo is very "symetric" so I've try to respect the rules.

    BTW, the death star or the Grand Emporium are both quit repetitiv in their construction.

    After 4 hours on the death star I've found it was a little bit boring .

    Thanks all for your remark I'm glad to read your comment !

    This contest is very intersting and I've try to add something new with my entry, hope you'll understand ;)

  4. "Attack of the dojo"

    Theme : Ninjago

    Number of parts : (Full version 2643)

    Number of figs ; 9

    417728newcoverEB.jpg

    Particularity : This set is different that everything you could have seen ever :grin: !

    Indeed, this set is just a conbinaison of other little set who could been present in the theme.

    This dojo is totally modular and totally build with 16 vig' (12 for the RDC and first floor, 4 for the second level)

    Each vig could be bought separatly ! for a dimension of 10X10 stud, it contains around

    160 or 200 parts and 1 fig each and could been sold for an interesting price

    2 principal vig could be founded in the moc (a linear and a corner element)

    227633EB8.jpg

    with this 2 elements, you can buil your own dojo

    With the 12 vig contained in the moc presented, I've made other 9 differents mocs

    Here is one

    848733EB5.jpg

    In this full version, all the moc could be opened

    on the right the Black Ninja team who attack the dojo

    on the left the training ninja's

    626457EB3.jpg

    but even closed the action is present :

    The last pic is just here to present that this set in hiq full version could easily been incorporated in

    a diorama ;

    you'll find there how to add your elements and all combinaisons !

    hope you'll enjoy !

    good luck everybody and do not forget 55180262927715p.jpg

  5. Hi all.

    Not sure to post this message in the right place (sorry)

    I've got a question about the set 2504.

    I've just bought it for my son and during the construction, I've noticed that

    the 2 bricks 2X1 tan from the first pack are not used in this set.

    On BL we can see that this 2 parts are included :

    http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=2504-1

    at the end of the instruction too :

    078.jpg

    but nothing during the instruction:

    http://bricks.argz.com/ins/2504-1

    my question is :

    Is it possible that there is a mistake in the instruction ?

    or maybe a mistake in the packaging....

    sorry for the advertissement, maybe lego will take of this 2 parts of the set in the next months

  6. Congrate to the lucky guys !

    nice idea, and good prize, txx EB and staff

    This one's proof that the entry was not a factor....

    I do not agree. This entry is the most clever I've seen. (4 round plate studed, pic with mobilephone certainly and post via 3g : done in 60 sec max and how to represent better number 4 in lego ? I ask you how ???

    UsernameMDM you're my hero !

  7. hi all

    sorry for the title, I do not have inspiration for the name of this creation

    more pics on the BLOG

    This moc has been build today. At first the idea was to build midiscale Star Wars characters for my soon but

    I don't know why some parts inspired me. I'll try to finish my first idea later !

    Even if the moc is a bit fragile, all parts are studed to the others ;)

    Hope you'll like it!

  8. That's a great job, the house is very well done but the furnitures inside are very very nice.

    The SNOT stairs are also well done!

    That's for me a very nice moc, congrat'

    I prefer this model than Emporio Armani, most finished !

  9. Hi All

    I would like to share with you my latest creation

    This entry is my participation for Be My Brickentime contest

    Give Me A Last Dance is a tribute to love trough the time.

    Love is immortal and even ghost could celebrate their love in a last dance...

    The power of their love (represented by the appearence of the heart) bring them back to present

    for a last dance. When love is not strong enough, the heart disapear with the dancers...

    No electricity

    the motor used is a bb46

    hope you'll enjoy ;)

  10. That Y-Wing is excellent, and the RGS is very well done, too. The ARC-170 is probably the weakest, but even that is instantly recognizable.

    Yes he knows the wing are too too short but he said that he likes it like that because it seems to have been cartooned !

    I prefer do not make too much remarks and keep encouraging his creativity, but I don't know why but your comment are all keeped into consideration and he says : "they're right, I'll try to improve " :laugh:

    thanks a lot for your kind comments, be sure that he's very very proud.

    other ship will arrive soon ;) to be continued

  11. Great Micros! Your son has a lot of talent, can't wait to see what he starts making in a few years! :thumbup: Has he done other MOCs as well?

    yes but a lot are not already on our blog : http://legomaniac.canalblog.com/

    chose "minilegomaniac on the right ;)

    He's mocing a lot and I'm in a hurry for shot his moc with my cam.

    Moreover when his moc is done, it's dismanteled...
