My name is Pertyn Sawk, Pertie for friends. I got this name from my great-great-grandfather. He established a small speeder workshop on Bothawui and my family has been living there since then. We still produce small vehicles and I'm very proud of this. One day a group of men came in the workshop and asked for some small transport speeders. And this seemed very suspicious, since they didn't look like workers, but more like soldiers. But not imperial soldiers. They asked me some questions and I told them, that I'm not very fond of the current system, altough my life's not bad. I saw some stormtroopers intimidating my Bothan friend. And I knew why. My customers soon identified themselves as rebel soldiers and invited me to join them. It was a hard decision, but I said yes. I left the family business to my younger brother and went away. But I took my first speeder with me and I'm still using it. ---------- I've recently joined this RPG and I wanted to build a small, simple build to introduce my character. Thank you very much for stoping by. I would be very happy if I could get this freebuild judged. Thank you in advance. ----------

Hi Everyone, For some months I have been working on a realistic looking "not so super" car. Actually it is my real life car, I tried putting both much functionality and also good in aesthetics. Here is a photo of real life image of Ford Focus I "focused", (photo is not my car, my is 5door hatchback in dark gray) Nope, it is not orange, LEGO lacks many things in orange but as Blakbird says white is new red, so I made it in white. Still there are many pieces lacking in white so I had to use many black pieces from my inventory. Now it looks like a panda unfortunately. I hope you enjoy it. Features: * Common Expectations from a (Super) Car: Independent Suspension, 5+R gearbox, working steering wheel, HOG steering, fake engine * Handbrake / 2WD / All WD switch, fake engine is tied to front wheels * Openable doors, back trunk, front hood + sunroof * Realistic accessories: side mirror, back mirror, glovebox (?), console "middle of seats arm putting thing / small box" (what is this called in english?), fake air conditioners and its control panel, fake stereo system * Around 2stud suspension travel * Custom front axle with some geometry I honestly dont know its names, I know it has Ackermann steering and kingpin incline:) idea is from here, check post #8 and #13 * NO RC Link to all screenshots: Ford Focus Second Gen Glovebox thing, sorry it is black and hardly visible there Handbrake's special switch to activate 2WD/AWD and also handbrake (by locking the middle differential to force on with different direction turning, technically prevents wheels turning = handbrake ) That "thing" I have been mentioning about the middle seat box. Console and you can also see the handbrake's link going back. Idea is almost same with the new gokart set. Dead simple sunroof, opens by manual lifting, no technic stuff. Front axle, idea from this thread: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=74356 check post #8 and #13 Finally the bottom of car and interior with a different angle to show "fake" stereo and air conditioner controls I hope you like it, Things I dont like: * It is white, I really wanted to make it orange, perhaps after Porsche set is out I will have a chance to convert it to orange. * Front is ugly, if you have a different idea about the front hood and lights, I appreciate. * I could not put the fog lights on front, I want to put them for completeness, again problem of the front * Interior is messy to make the sunroof and also the angular back, it is not really visible unless you look for them (no photo of it hehe). interior is like the arm of 42042 :) * To make the angular view, I used some angles which Lego does not like, no stress is made but as you see not all beams look connected directly. Hint: 15L white beam over the rear wheel is actually completing a 15x1 triangle * to LEGO: Why you not make #4 connector and #6538c on white common !!! Cheers -
Hey all, Been getting my bearings around the threads and all and I noticed something kind of worrying on the Custom Decal front. From what I've read there seems to be a difficulty with having white in you decal design. Especially if your are making your decals with something like Testors Waterslide decal paper or similar. My question is is there a reason that White can't be printed with a inkjet printer and show up on the decals. I know the reason why Metallic colors can't be done since Printers can't print metallic (which you think by now we would have ones with addable inks that can) without it just being Grey. I'm sorry if this has been explained else where I don't want to make a thread on a covered subject. But I thought I'd ask the experts. Main reason I ask is I want to have whites for the eyes of my minifigures with glasses like Good Cop's and also you got to have white for the Octan logo. Anyway let me know and I'll figure it out from the pros. Thanks all, Plokman

Edit: Please note that this thread includes a mixture of posts from the 2015 Pictures & Rumours which have been merged with appoah4's thread..... Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond. A lighter grey,in the palette as a compromise would indeed have been great, but you make do with what you have. Not that I'm second guessing your decisions, but I'd still like to point out that white doesn't look that bad on a transport ship like The Ghost, which isn't really that far removed from the Falcon as far as presentation goes.. I realize that it has a lot of bright colors to contrast with a bright white, but the white is also toned down with clever use of grey plating like it was done on ghost.. I guess I should just assemble the thing in white in LDD sometime and take a screengrab and see for myself :) EDIT: This is what it looks like at the end of Bag 6: Also, if I may ask one more question, was there ever an idea of giving The Ghost interior space a la Falcon? I promise, no more questions after this.
