Wow, Amado - that's a great display! I've been enjoying your builds since Lugnet still had a community, and they just keep getting better even after all these years. Really cool seeing those various different MOCs in one place; I guess I never really thought about how many you keep assembled at a given time.

Fantastic! I really like the holding cell and weapons area. The whole thing is nicely thought out and executed.

Wow - that looks really nice! I especially like the claw arm and the details on the rear of the trailer. Nice rendering and choice of angles, too. Great job! I think the best sub-forum for this would be Model Team http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/?showforum=115

This. If you're lucky enough to have had someone toss it together with a more general adhesive, this is the way to go. Good luck! Maybe post some pictures of what you're starting with and how it's working. I don't think there's a huge group of people trying to do this, but it's interesting nonetheless.

I doubt it's hot glue. More likely a solvent-based ABS welder like what the master builders use for larger displays. Easiest way to determine that is if you've already been able to pry bricks apart and now just have some residue on them, or if they're holding fast together or break when trying to get them to separate. If it was a solvent-based glue you don't really have many options that won't harm the bricks.

Love it! So much detail that you've squeezed into that little building! But where does poor Mrs. Hudson live?

Man, at that tiny scale I can't believe how much of the Hoth feeling you've captured. Other than the couple obvious items mentioned above related to the snow speeder (which are no big deal anyway), it's just fantastic! Nicely done.

Eisenpfote is great. Sounds good, and for a sweet little kitty that can be tough, I think "iron paw" conveys that better than "steel claw." Just my 2 cents. Enjoy your new feline friend either way!

I'm pretty concerned about that thing breaking a hip! I really like the overall design. The cockpit is so simple, but really great the way it's incorporated into this clean but chunky mech. Nice work!

Very nice. I like the attention to detail with the seats when up, with the ribbing in the middle. As Rotundus said, the simplicity of the design means the size and shape can be easily adapted and can be used in various scale MOCs of many different types.

Wow! That looks great generally speaking, but at that scale it's simply fantastic! I really have nothing else to add... beautiful work there.

Yikes! Glad it turned out OK! Bug reports for LPUB can go here: https://sourceforge.net/p/lpub4/bugs/

I also enjoyed your posts. You will be missed... but please feel free to come back anytime! Best of luck to you in the rest of your non-Lego life!

Interesting social commentary, and nicely executed. I like the use of color (or lack thereof), and the variety of people is the 2nd image is nice. I really like the older folks - the bear on the man and hairdo on the older woman are great! Nicely done, all-around!

How cheap are you looking for, and do you have any size requirements/limitations? I don't know your locality, but if you want something that looks presentable and is a reasonable price, Ikea has a good selection of separate tabletops and legs at reasonable prices. If you want to go big, cheap, and don't mind if it's kinda ugly, you can go to some place like Harbor Freight Tools and get a couple of sawhorses (as cheap as $12-15 each) and then grab whatever size of plywood you want at Home Depot and lay that on top. Another way to go is to keep an eye on Craigslist (or whatever local Swip-Swap type of sites you may have) for classic folding tables. Might take some time to catch them, but around me I see 6-foot folding tables in decent shape pop up for $25ish pretty regularly.

I very much doubt 130º (F, right, not Celsius? ) will do any damage to your bricks if they're not, like, densely squashed into storage boxes (where excess pressure against each other plus the heat for a prolonged period might cause some kind of issue). 130º F is not a "hot car," at least not here in AZ. I've left Lego in my car all day when the air temp was 115º+ (and many times for a couple hours), not to mention sets that get shipped to me and then sit in the mailbox when it's that kind of temperature out, and I've not come across any ill effects. Of course, do what you feel is safest for your collection, but I personally wouldn't be worried enough about it to go to any extreme measures to protect the brick. What I probably would do is move the built sets to the basement (would be a pain to disinfect/delouse them, but hopefully they're not infested) and not worry about the bins of loose brick. That's based on anecdotal evidence from people saying that they left MOCs in a hot for for several hours and experienced a loss of clutch power, and I could see bricks in tension from being snapped together being much more likely to "set" in a less-clutchy state vs idle bricks sitting in a bit (like boxed sets in my car) that are slowly brought up to 130º and then back down to regular room temp. Good luck - sorry you have to deal with that!

Nice. I especially like the lava eating through the one wall. The vehicle is nice, but it needs some kind of ridiculous weapon function to really fit in with the theme.

To be brief: Probably not worth trying to repair. Acetone will melt (chemically) ABS, but it also makes it more brittle, so exactly what you don't want in a flexing piece like a clip. You're unlikely to ever get the right combination of elasticity and strength back into the clip. If it were a larger piece, maybe. An ABS glue/welder of some type is usually a mixture of acetone and/or MEK with a percentage of ABS dissolved in it and might work better for this, but would also be tough to apply in that small area. Some folks make their own (mostly in the 3D printing field using spare filament, but I've seen folks do it with Lego as well) by just letting some ABS sit in the acetone or MEK and stirring, but I'd imagine that takes some finesse to get right as a usable substance.

Wow! The double wheels in the back an the use of that fender piece in the front are just fantastic. Love it!

That's fantastic! The accessibility must make it incredibly fun as a playset. Bravo!

That's really nice, and I especially like the branding. A T- or 4-way junction would be easy enough to adapt from the road plate, but do you have that designed or a standard for a curve?

Welcome to EB! Love of Lego unites us all, transcending language barriers! See you around the forums!

Wow! I agree that the slope on the hood is a little steep (from these pics), but you've done an incredible job capturing the look. Instantly recognizable, and a ton of detail. If it were a set, I'd buy it!

So nicely done at that scale! You know you've done it right when a single, unadorned Lego piece instantly conveys a character.

Yes, 6081 is from 1990 and may have been the last to include it (though it does seem almost like an afterthought there), but earlier castle buildings included the technic connection on the walls so you could connect multiple sets together to make a bigger castle/fortress. A good example of a set that was OK on its own but obviously meant to be added to others is the 6062 Battering Ram from 1987. You can clearly see the pin on the box picture, even.
