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

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

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

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

They could be useful if you were doing an underground tunnel

word of advice Greg, give up while you’re ahead 🙂 @philmatt24

I am assuming some things. One is that you’re using color 103, Bright Light Yellow. The second is that this modular building is set in the modern day. The third is that Bright Light Yellow is your wall color. I wish I knew what the modular was depicting,…Read more

Anyway a few days left I dont think i’m going to win (obvious from the start) but it was cool to finally enter one of these. Thx to anyone that hearted mine.

Toys R Us Will Close 180 Stores Across the US

I was trying not to dignify this thread with a response. But since Greg and Tim are, and since these faulty apostrophes cannot be tolerated, but mostly since Greg used an epic Princess Bride reference, I guess I’ll join the fray…

Also, @tim… “grammAr”, not “GrammEr“…

Uh huh. I have a better chance of getting Greg to finish his tree than I do of getting you guys to stop using an apostrophe in ‘its’ when it’s a possessive pronoun. Where’s The Grammarist when you need h…Read more
