    Who's you're gonna call when you got skunked? Skunk @ Sea by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

    I have a new favorite CMF character. Skunk @ Work by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Yup, monkey money.

    Yo ho ho, awesome. Clever lock mechanism. Glad you use the Redcoats flag. Does payout more than it takes in?

    Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

    But can a HE with 2 PF train motors climb the (USA) Sierra Nevada mountains? I am really curious to see 16 XL motors in action. It's a Union Pacific moar power thing. If you plan to use several Sbricks, make sure your phone or tablet BLE can communicate with the number of Sbricks required at the same time. I don't think BLE devices need to be "paired" like older BT but there could be still some limitations based on the BlueTooth hardware chipset used in the master device.

    Thanks. It will eventually be licensed. Let's see what this month's MRCA brings first.

    Thanks for doing the index. Do you index both licensed and unlicensed ships? Maybe we should have a standard tag for ship builds like including SHIP in the title or tag. It might make it easier for you identify threads with ships.

    You can use the savings at the petro pump to buy more LEGO.

    My favorite CMF 15 is the skunk. To get the skunk: a fume hood skunk trap with superventilation fan to pull the scent away. The pie is bait. (Not part of the contest entry but the skunk fits under the hood.)

    Welcome aboard Captain Shen and Captain Darksten.

    Those types of question have crossed my mind when I buy used goods. After my cat used an opened tub of LEGO as a litter box, I am not too keen on used sets and pieces any more.

    If you're building a huge train, you could try with 8 battery boxes, 8 IR receivers set to the same channel and a lot of PF extension cables for LEGO Purist solution. The IR receivers could be all mounted into a single car so that they can see the IR command signals together. The battery boxes could be spreadout on to different cars. With 16 XL motors you should have adequate torque to pull all those parts. Making your own circuit solution can be much fun. Driving a large current load through a single motor driver IC can generate a lot of heat. Be mindful of cooling requirements, burns to fingers and melting point of ABS plastic. May be better to have several motor drivers each controling two motors and a control module to command them all. You can program special start up power profiles so that you aren't spinning your wheels. I think that's where research and testing come in. Have fun and good luck.

    8258. 8110 is great if you intend to MOC all sorts of attachments to make use of the PTO and/or pneumatic lines.

    You could make a Star Wars clone turbo tank with 10 of those wheels/tires.

    Welcome aboard. Please don't forget to post in the Sea Rats sign up thread, your fig's picture and intro. A back story would be nice too.

    From Philo, each L motor has a no load current of 120 mA. The V2 IR receiver nominal current is 1.5A per channel. The battery boxes have a 750 mA resettable fuse. You may be tripping fuses.

    Procrastinating shredding and sorting some MOCs. What is a bamboozleometer?

    Good MODs. I like the shark tank for the captured pieces.

    40158 Pirates Chess Set.

    Thanks Kai NRG. You caused me to buy the chess set today. I wonder if I have enough Red Coats to make it blue vs red.
  22. dr_spock
    Aye, a fitting build for the sugar lover in me. That's a mighty big scythe.

    60052 train engine will most closely resemble ones found in Canada. You could also ask your son which one he likes more, if it is for him like you said.

    Clever joining two FBs. The shanty feels very cozy. A fine residence. Avast, conflict of interest, I can not approve.
  25. dr_spock
    Being a Rat I can not approve. Nice use of Tonto fig. Good lead in to the next FB.
