Stepping into the middle a light sabre fight is not good for you. Day 048 of 365: Light Sabre Battle by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Thanks. It's just to see if anyone notices the frog. I started using the frog on Day 34's photo. It's fun to add the frog here and there. He's an amphibian like Jar Jar. Or she'd rather kiss a frog instead of him. Golf looks dangerous. The Wookiee might shoot himself holding the musket club that way.

I concur NPU on the Technic panels.

Nice. How can the prison see where he is going and no one holding him? Don't they usually put the bag over the head after prisoner has been placed against the wall?

My HE engine nose sticks out 3.5 studs from the end of the tie going around a standard LEGO curve.

Yeah, it would be nice if they bring back red train doors.

Good use of brick separators for a plow. You might want to make the plow into a V shape if you have tack very deep snow. That way snow is forced to the left and right side of the train. Lots of fun with all the play features.

Fantastic scene and details.

Thanks everyone. It can run pretty fast with the PF train motor when cranked to level 7 on the IR speed remote control. It flew off a switch at the edge of my table and hit the floor. I was surprised how much of it held together. I haven't tried rubber tracks with the PF train motor. Not sure if they fit or not. Someone should give it a try.

Oh cool. The rear of the tour bus slides out to make a stage in the mid-front of the bus.

I think the new space shuttle windshield is better than the one used for the previous set 3367 space shuttle. It was the airplane/helicopter set nose with engine nozzle print: http://brickset.com/sets/3367-1/Space-Shuttle That's the 4203 set excavator on train wheels and geared with a power function motor. http://brickset.com/sets/4203-1/Excavator-Transporter It's not too hard to do your own version of it: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=105874

Give new meaning to the Big Dig in Boston.

Presenting my hi-rail exacavator. It is a fun little creation I put together for an upcoming LUG meeting at train themed brewery. It is driven by the rubber tires mounted to a PF train motor. The battery box and IR receiver are located in the high side gondola. It is made to stand up to children playing with it. I got the inspiration from a picture of the LEGO display at LEGO World. A designer took the 4203 set and put it on rails. I don't think he/she used a train motor since his/her wheels are spaced much further apart. He/she also used a box car with draw bar. I think a gondola would make more sense to pair with an excavator to dump material into. Hi-rail Excavator by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Here it is running on some tracks: I morphed it from this originally:

Great looking train. Nice use of the clip piece on the bogie frame for shock absorber.
-
Very nice. Are all those tan train windows?

They didn't release 8258 Crane Truck in Canada for some reason and that bugged us to no end. Since then, all Technic flagships have been released in Canada. -

Good one. Now the creature will break out and sing "Let It Go".

Nice work. Ivanova would approve. Clever model stand. Reference pic for those not familiar with Bab5:

Are you refering to this on BrickShelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=553045

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy seeing LUG creations. For some reasons, I have a craving for McDonald's french fries now.

Supporting adults don't seem to be mentioned in LEGO's responsibility statement: http://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/responsibility

Great idea. Laminating will help it last longer. Worth it if you don't want to have to recreate it after much kid play later on. You can make the buildings stay on the laminate with double sided sticky tape so it doesn't slide around.

Nice. I guess you have to work fast before the aluminum oxidizes again after you've cleaned it with the steel wool.
-
I believe you are correct. It appears that part of the 1x2 grille tiles on the floor is covered by the dark bley.

Thank you. The single pane funnies thread seem to be more comic style with speech bubbles. I am not sure if my work qualifies.
