Protector X could be fun to model, especially the interior.

Excellent work, @playingwithechoes! Just, not nearly enough grease on the ties & ballast. 😉

These look really cool. Apparently he got custom boards manufactured to make it possible.

But having all those modulars? Meh – I would have enjoyed it more if he had made a wide open cattle ranch or a custom scene from LoTR at the base of those hills.

Sorry, the site will only let me post one link per post, so here come four consecutive posts…

@zandecreates yes I saw your mini-microscale Burgh on reddit. Very well done. I really like how you created the two stadiums.

I have some microscale Burgh buildings (here -…Read more

I’ve said it before, but thank you to everyone who contributed to make our display so awesome. We had 27 members participate, including some new members displaying for the first time. If I forgot anyone, I apologize, but many…Read more

CAR CONSTRUCTION

* Did a little work on the 20 and 30 cars, mostly on the front hood for the 30 and the rear of the 20. I might diverge from some of the standard template of shaping that I’ve been doing on the 84, 2, and 3 cars, as this is my last chance to break from patterns that have made these cars easy to mutate over time.

* Did…Read more

So far I see that @randomdan and @philmatt24 are pending approval and @rcgrier3406 and @timf are tentative. @greg as a yes?

I think we’re in the same boat here as we are with…Read more

Is this boring? Why, yes. Yes it is.

CAR CONSTRUCTION

* Completed the #85 XU Transport car in white, red and DBG. Driver is installed.

* Did some minor adjustments to the 71 and 73 cars, adding NutyREZ as a sponsor to the #71 car on the spoiler, solidifying the red/green split on the front/rear of the car, and using the 1×2 green tiles from there to eliminate the silly…Read more

But it’s true, I like dark red!

* Finished the #56 Circuit Challenger car, but it still needs a driver. I need a plain white fig torso, and probably a yellow helmet for this one.

* Did some work on the #73 Team 1 car, and realized that Rainbow Warrior is a GOOD thing in racing, so I’m going to do one of those, since the original 73 car had a red firesuit and yellow…Read more

Now I’m thinking about unifying the car “models” through shaping and paring them down to a lower number while I still can as I build the higher numbered race cars. It’s turning out to be pretty easy to select which race cars belong parallel to existing models based on which stickered parts exist for it on the surface of the eventual…Read more

Regardless, this is “threadjacking”, and since I have been know the have expertise in this area, I just gotta wine that the ONE SET I wanted to buy on VIP weekend was in stock for less than two hours when it went out of stock…Read more

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

Based on a pending trade with @philmatt24, I should get LBG 2×4 curved slopes instead of the 2×3 that matches the sticker set for the #27 carand resume that build this week. The difference in part is okay, because I used a “short” sticker on the #9, and I’ll probably do it again on the #22 car, as all of these cars are inspired by…Read more

@bengood921, we weren’t able to get any of Tim’s buildings in this version because of the…Read more

If there is serious interest in doing our own bar night, I could get a hold of one of the owners of Cobblehaus Brewery in Coraopolis. They have a great beer selection, and some side rooms that could be used for build challenges.

Looks great LD. Was that a local library? All your design for the seascape? Have these all been taken apart?

I’m a ghost boo

anyway, top left corner is how…Read more

I sold one on bricklink and it arrived to the buyer damaged. He’s sending it back to me and I told him I’d see if anyone else had a good one. @philmatt24
