Rules:
1. 35 parts + 1 minifig
2. Minifig accessories count against part count
3. Must be able to call it a spaceship with a straight face

Easy Mode Rules:
1. 70 parts + 1 minifig (due to inflation, obviously)
2. Minifig accessories don’t count against total if they’re not…Read more

@bengood921 is our GBC guy that I know of, and I think @randomdan was dabbling in multiple rail systems to add variance to his industrial builds. @arcadiumsol is probably our best engineering talent, and his melding of…Read more

The #27 project is on hold as I scrounge around for LBG 1×4 tiles. I may just BL them, which will delay things unless someone has them easily accessible for trade. I will probably continue and build the front and rear of the car instead while I wait for the parts I need for the sides, to add stickers there. I’ll need a fifth 1×4 LBG…Read more

This makes me think…Read more

He and I had a discussion about it over Chik-Fil-A and I suggested a “Mother Ship” variant that had a circular system to sto…Read more

@wreckgar13, I think there are many different ways to approach designing a Space faction.

* You can start with a color palette, as all LEGO Space factions tend to have one,…Read more

No building or designing, just the nagging thought that I want the engine housing to be molded into the fuselage so I can turn a rear element of said engine, spin everything else within it as the landing gear comes down, like @arcadiumsol‘s Eon craft. This will require an extension of the fuselage into the engine housing, which is…Read more

* I was missing a black Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Grills, part 41862, and a black Plate, Modified 4×4 with cutout, part 64799. I used LBG in both cases. If you…Read more

So I created two fuselage twice in the…Read more

Do we still have a wealth of 1×1 plates? I’m low on the core colors and transparent red and green, and I’m thinking of gathering about 400 of each of white and blue for both a pixelated build for the Q1 build challenge and keeping them for white and blue craft and Temple of…Read more

On Saturday November 23rd I’m having a space build at my place from noon until whenever we’re done with it for the day. Like last time, I’m ordering pizza.

I have been out of the LUG loop for a while. I want to catch up with and plan the small space hanger display that is going in the Lego store in January.

I have a new add…Read more

So, what HAVE I been tinkering with?

* I have pretty much completed the #8 Turbo Sprinter V8 racecar in blue and flat silver. the stickers I’m using on the hood won’t lie down because of…Read more

As far as I know, we have the following going on the floor:

I’m @tcsbgdady ‘s Wife. Thanks for letting me join you all! I usually help Jim sort parts and help the kids build. I look forward to meeting some more of you as I’ve met @arcadiumsol.

My MOCs were additional prizes donated by me.

I have 8 48×48 plates. I will be using them for the December trolley display. Sean @arcadiumsol has three…Read more

See you at a meeting or event some time? I feel like we met briefly once, but it’d be cool to get to know the woman who puts up with @arcadiumsol! 😉

The question is, when can we meet before the Q4 meeting? My schedule is insane for the next month.

Also, I got a sneak peek at a Build Day with @arcadiumsol, and there is going to be some good competition. 😉

SPEED UP!

Also FYI, @greg, I still have your McDonalds from Summer Greenberg’s and @skippermike, I still have your Jungle Cruise from the same.

* Built a Space Container standard for an 8×8 stud cube and longer 8×17 stud container. These containers can carry 6 stud wide vehicles, Temple of 5:2 crates, all sorts of stuff. They have pull open doors that work with serial number details on the doors. The containers are…Read more

From one viewpoint, I am a big, big fan of the broad use of programmable lighting for LUG collaborative displays. This would also be a fine learning experience, since few of us have this expertise. Light, motion and sound attracts people to our table…Read more

Also looking to get rid of the ninjago backdrop that @arcadiumsol brought over, unless he just wants to take it back. Not sure if we have any die hard ninjago fans that would love it in their room or not…

However, I got yanked back into starfighter schedule with the purchase of set 60177, the Airshow Jet.

If I were a LEGO designer with experience in low part count builds, this would be the type of designing I’d do. It uses many of the exact…Read more

Unfortunately, I will be away from 6/10 til 6/16, so other arrangements will have to be made @rcgrier3406

The struggle is real.

I’m still planning on this. I will start laying this out when I get back. I’m hoping @arcadiumsol and @whitesidewjw will have some things…Read more
