  1. Beautiful work. It would look amazing running in a garden railway.
  2. A little green guy once said...Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads suffering. Suffering leads to Jar Jar Binks...
  3. Ghostbusters...the remake of course.
  4. Shop around and ask for quotes if available. Each store is individually owned and people do change. I know one owner who raised his shop's limits because he doesn't find it worth his time and effort to fulfill small orders any more.
  5. It can be less dangerous to file a small notch in the ME track with a nail file that your significant other may have in her purse?
  6. Very nice work. Is it a SD70M variant?
  7. ^Robert8 already posted that human stampede video 3 posts before yours. Pokemon Going into a police car is probably a bad idea:
  8. Snowmobile sounds perfect, you only need to make one track. The track looks like it'll dig well into the snow. Come visit Canada in the winter months, we have lots of snow here. It might be easier to travel to an EU country with some snow to run it in ludicrous speed.
  9. Maybe you could drive trains. No steering involved. I don't think anyone has done a review of BuWizz running trains? It seems like a great all-in-one device for the non-9V LEGO PF trains at events and you're not limited by 8 IR channels. How long can it run a 6 car Horizon Express train on one full charge? Ludicrous may provide the extra power to pull very long trains.
  10. Ha, STAR WNRS. This is a matter for the Disney and LEGO company legal and IP departments to deal with. Thanks for the comparison. It's interesting to see how close copies have come in quality. Your English sounds fine.
  11. Friday July 22nd is their last day. They are selling the store shelving and displays too. One of Brick Adjuster's recent Brickfete YouTube video showed his wife there with the kids on the Brickfete weekend. They had some shots of what's on the shelves.
  12. Thanks for sharing. That looks like a lot of good times fun. Staying up all night drinking like at AFOL conventions and operating trains next day could lead to crashes and accidents. Those scale model railroaders probaby know crashing a brass model is expensive and a major body work repair hangover.
  13. You could use hot glue. It will provide some extra hold but not as strong or hard to remove as Kragle or epoxy. It really depend on how rough or gentle you or your child plays with LEGO trains.
  14. There are ways to motivate yourself. If you're building a complex MOC, you can do the project management trick and break down the building tasks to sections or features of the MOC and set reasonable target dates for completing them. Having some reachable goals along the way to completion provides feeling of accomplishment and motivation. Last year, I did a photo a day project which turned into a crazy MOC a day. Coming up an idea each day, building it and photographing it helped drive to the end of the project at day 365. Focusing on the one daily subtask of the project made it less daunting. If you have multiple MOCs going, you can prioritize and allocate cycles to work on each of them. Like at work when I had to work on multiple projects with mulitple deadlines and project "mothers" nagging me. If you're a member of LUG, the LUG can help especially if they have monthly meetings and that's a good opportunity to show off WIP and get feedback from members. Sometimes LUG members drive each other to build. Having to display at public events is a good motivator for me to get my MOCs done before the event dates. Personally, I don't find WIP on an Internet forum having the same motivation. It can work for other people. Find something that works for you.
  15. Neat idea. I've seen something similar used on a GBC module. What MOC do you plan to use them on?
  16. The Volvo product brochures do not mention the EW160E having 4 wheel steering as standard or options. Terex do list some of their wheel excavators with optional 4 wheel steering. It could be interesting to mod it with for 4 wheel steering.
  17. Neat. That seems similar to the Faller car system in the world of HO scale modeling. Do you have an ultrasonic or IR detector in hood?
  18. How do you find out if your photo have been posted to Explore? I try to stick to posting the best single photo of my MOC on Flickr. The other photos of the MOC I post to Brickshelf. That could be one way to avoid the bad ones on Explore. Also make the photostream less cluttered for the viewers. I don't worry too much about followers. They come and go as people delete their Flickr accounts or get tired of me. LEGO: https://www.flickr.com/groups/lego/ Eurobricks: https://www.flickr.com/groups/eurobricks/ Groups specific to your MOC theme or style. Join the ones that has a lot of members. More members could mean a wider audience seeing your work.
  19. Thank you for the detailed review. Looks good for scooping food for hamster. Time to save up for this one.
  20. That Killer Croc fig only appeared in one Batman set many years ago if I recall. How did he/she get 97 of them?
  21. Yay. What kind of Thinkpad do you have? What did you do to revive it?
  22. Nice build. That unicorn should fetch many a doubloon of gold or at least bananas.
  23. You could MOC a beltwagon to handle the height difference between the BWE and the Arocs. Or use a GBC conveyor module.
