WIP Southern Pacific 4-8-8-2 AC-7 Cab Forward
dr_spock replied to Barduck's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Looking forward to seeing this in real bricks. It's a unique tunnel steam locomotive. Helps that it burns oil instead of coal, if I recall. -
LEGO has always been expensive. You're paying for the brand name. There are many plastic construction toys that can be had for less money. The size of the box, graphics and/or shape is to attract the consumer's attention in a sea of other toys on the store shelves. If they noticed you, they might want to buy you.

March's Double VIP- What are you buying?
dr_spock replied to TheFuzz's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Probably some PF M-motors for GBCs. Nothing interesting for March. Maybe Technic set 42043 if there is going to be double VIP in October 2015. -

Tips for Displaying at LEGO Conventions?
dr_spock replied to Adeel Zubair's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
So do Great Ball Contraptions (GBCs). Have a couple of spare chairs for the moms to sit and chat with you while their kids watch the balls going around and around. -
Those coupons seem to be good in Canada too. Got my while supplies last Hans Solo Hoth. Brick Specialist said I was the second person to get one of them at his store. I wonder who was first?

You could try a swing out door design.

Do MOC's have copyright?
dr_spock replied to Richard Dower's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
If MOCs are considered works of art, then in the USA you have copyright the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. You should register your copyright at the US Copyright Office if you think your work will be stolen by infringers to make lots of money. -
Benefits from building at a standing table?
dr_spock replied to Orange Leader's topic in General LEGO Discussion
You should try different heights to see which one you're comfortable with based on the task. I used to work in a factory assembly line and stand all day. Some of the stations have adjustable heights since everyone is not the same size. I felt stronger working at the factory than at the IT office job. -
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly - for a TIE guy ;-)
dr_spock replied to HJR-Holland's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Pretty TIEs. Pew pew. -
Oops, there seems to be a bug in the system. Day 031 of 365: Beam Me Up by dr_spock_888, on Flickr I'll leave the interpretation up to the viewers. Hope he won't fart out the secret location of the Rebel base.

Here is the Eurobricks topic on rendering with LDD2POVRAY -> http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=71654 It's pretty easy, basically run LDD2POV and load in your LDD file and wait for it to render which can take a very long time depending on your computer hardware and desired resolution. Here is a rendering I made from a LDD created by Murlock17. He was inspired by my rotary snow plow MOC and made his own version in LDD.

What happened to your trains? They seem to be in various states of disintegration.

Neat. Where are the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads to make the french fries. Man, I miss real fresh chicken.

Yup, that's how that grille look on the real thing. You could always mod the grille on the truck to a different Mercedes style.
