Wow- what an altogether reasonable list. Nice examples and well-said. I agree on all counts, for what it's worth.
-
It's not a "purist" solution like Jarren's, but you can also bend the end of a paperclip into a U and use that to hook the underside of the 2x2 anywhere along the lip and once it starts to come up should be easy to pull out.

NPU for the monster in several places; the tongue is especially fun. The doors are great as well! Nice detailing with the half-offset.
-
Thanks for sharing! Nice designs for a great collection of pallet handling equipment. The warehouse, packages, and pallets themselves look great as well.
-
Nice. Great setup on the flat railcar, too. I think it could use a windscreen, though- perhaps just a 1x4x1 trans-clear panel where the last stud of that 2x4 tile at the top of the hood is (directly behind the steering wheel and clipping on top of the brackets for the mirrors, or it might be more keeping in character for the vehicle to use a 4625 finger hinge tile with the 1x4 trans-clear windscreen piece so it can be flipped down. Regardless, it's really nice. The way you did the track and the fuel tanks on the undercarriage look really good, and nice shaping overall.

Welcome to EB, Rosa1917! Another option to get started with building houses is to take a look at the instructions for past home sets that Lego has put out (here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions ). You can search for "house" or "home" and find a lot of inspiration there. I especially like set 4954 - Model Townhouse, which is a 3-in-1 with 3 really nice house designs. Happy building!

That's lovely. Great ambiance in the scene, and the bookshelves wrapping around and the stacks of books on the floor (and holding up the table!) are really great. Nicely done!
-
Welcome to EB, Undershadow! Nice to have you de-lurked!
-
Looks good, nice scale, and great articulation. Very well done!
-
Yes, back in early 2016. You can see some of the detail on that here: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2016/01/21/lego-digital-designer-officially-defunded-and-unsupported-news/ -
Very nice. I still love that interior build, and in this quick submission I must say that the shots through the "telescope" stand out and are well done.
-
Fantastic! This will be another trip down memory lane just like the classic space thread. Already bringing back fond memories... and you're getting to create new memories with the grandkids as well!
-
Welcome to EB, Wes! Seemed like a reasonable introduction to me! Looking forward to seeing some of your MOCs.
-
Very nice. Looks like it belongs in a Speed Champions of the Future line.
-
Very impressive! The exterior (especially the "log" construction touches) is great, but the interiors are spectacular. My favorites are the room with the toys and the top of the tree, and the feast. Just lovely!
-
Very nice! The hands really work well for the roof at that scale, and that tree & hill (and fence on the hill) are lovely. Well done!
-
ME Models has good rail packs available, and they make straight rails as well. If you don't need 9v track, just buying in bulk from Bricklink (or an eBay auction) is probably the most economical way to go.
-
Very nice. Good shaping all-around.

[MOC] Once upon a times when master Wu was young...
deraven replied to Vincent Q's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Beautiful! The roof technique is really interesting, and I also really like the ground in the courtyard, the planters/vases, and the lush greenery at the side of the pond. Great build! -
Excellent! A nice balance of classic feel with good detail and techniques. The simple but interesting terrain, and the timbered section of the castle are both really nice and add a lot to the build, and all your interior details are outstanding.

[MOC] Winter Village Whoville House & The Grinch!
deraven replied to mouseketeer's topic in LEGO Town
That's quite fun - I especially like that tree! -
I like the passion, but the business decision was made almost 2 years ago now, so that means there's even less of a chance that they'd change their mind since I'm sure the resources have been deployed elsewhere for at least a year. I'd move to one of the other digital Lego building programs if what's available in LDD is no longer meeting your needs.
-
That's awesome! Captures the look nicely, even at that fairly small scale. Only constructive criticism I would offer is that the curved part of the street seems really blocky in comparison with the rest of the MOC. You might consider replacing that portion with SNOT to smooth out that curve (using plate widths instead of brick widths). Nicely done!
-
Wow! Such great shaping throughout; I think the tail and windscreen/roof are especially good. Wonderful build!

Welcome to the de-lurked side of EB, CIS Droid!
