Building LEGO

I really like the TIE + Slave 1 + X-wing here: http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/14102-how-to-build-your-sealed-set-while-retaining-the-most-value/#comment-458852 But it gets me thinking.. I'd really like a display frame that showed them fighting eachother. Like have the TIE attacking X-wing and Slave 1 off to the side but all in different angles, as if in space. I imagine the weight would be a problem. Has anybody seen something like this? I like seeing these shelf displays, but I think they would get kind of old sitting kind of bland like that and feel like an actual action scene would have way more pop. Maybe even throw a piece of cardboard with a space backdrop …

I previously asked everyone's general idea on how much you would pay for MOC instructions on average. (Anyone buy MOC instructions?) Here I would like to ask, "What do you think about the style of vehicle designs in the attached images?" and "What do you think is a fair price for a set of digital instructions for similiar designs?" I rather like these designs. They are like a nice blend between minifig-scale and realistically proportioned I think. These kind of designs use about 200 parts or more on average, are 7 studs wide, fit very nicely on those road plates and look great parked next to any building. I value your guys opinion and like hearing what's on your mind. …

It would seem the Hot Wheels/Matchbox sized LEGO sets of 2005-2011 inspired a style of small sleek street rods across the community. Some pretty good usage with so few parts in my opinion.

Sorry if this topic was posted elsewhere. I searched but couldn't find. If your goal is MOC'ing, specifically city scenes (modular buildings, streets, railway, etc.), what's a better approach to gathering materials? Buying bulk on ebay or buying sets? For example, there's some discussion about the Tower Bridge being a good raw material set because of the high price per piece ratio. Would it therefore be better to buy that set? Assume I'm looking to build buildings in usual colors like dark brown, dark gray, tan, light blue, etc. Tower Bridge has a good amount of those. Or should I wait for what looks like a good ebay bulk sale in terms of the ki…

I looked at buying the Lego Mixer set but the cost was pretty prohibitive so I decided to build my own. I hope you like it and any feedback is appreciated. It's taken me almost five months and was pretty difficult as I'm new to Lego and there was a lot of trial and error before I managed to get it right. The ride breaks down, just like the real thing and fits onto the truck bed and into the other truck in the images. I have a youtube video which shows it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrgOIbpqKl0

Is there one? I know about the existence of Lego Designer but is this the right tool to plan a LEGO city as well? Thanks Mauro

Built Day 9 yesterday. Question to all, is this a Tractor or a Train? My first reaction was Train, but the wheels are bigger in the back, similar to a tractor? Also the steam is coming off the back and not out of the front like a steam locomotive?

I volunteered to create company logo with LEGO but can't commit due to time. Is there anywhere out there that will take a logo and create a MOC with pieces required? I started designing in LDD but just don't have the time. Money isn't a big constraint. They want to display this at a corporate event.

I know some of you are into Fantasy Baseball, Football, etc. I was curious if anyone out there keeps any kind of stats or logs? I guess the main thing that came to my head was something along the lines of a piece per minute stat. Simply meaning after opening your first bag, how many pieces can you put together per minute? I was wondering this while putting together 75082 Tie Advanced Prototype. I liked the set and everything, but seemed to be zooming through at a good clip. Although it did have a few repeat builds which made it easy. But that got me thinking if that is something to track or not? I mean it does take some brain power to be able to see what pieces are needed…

Hey Folks, I just visited our local cinema because they have one giant MF in their entrance area as a promo for Rogue one. This monster MOC is build from a Legoholic around town. He states that this is the biggest MF in the world (except the real one in a galaxy far far away ) ! It has around 35.000 pieces and the outer shell contains mostly the original grey pieces. It's about 1,83 metres (6 ft) long and 1,24 (around 4 ft) metres wide and it took 2 years to build it. But enjoy the pics yourself. just wanted to share this, all credits goes to this insane guy who build it. I was very impressed by this MOC! And I was quite suprised to find something…

Hello all. Wanted to know if anyone has ever added power functions to the elevator in the town hall? If so, could you recommend what all is needed to complete this project. Thank you.

I finally completed this video. It's been sitting in my studio for years. I had to purchase about a dozen missing pieces from bricklink.com. I really enjoy this set because it's not often that Lego releases an all out "brick" sculpture made of basic bricks. I hope you enjoy the video.

Brick City Depot has just made digital instructions for the fourth in their Residential Pack series available for purchase. Here's a quick link.

Hey everyone, I posted a version of my Unimog recently.. here are more pictures and another video. For full details of this project check out my mocpages http://mocpages.com/moc.php/407959 I am too lazy to put it all here I had lots of fun with this project, and I think it raises some "firsts" or at least breaks some ground in Technic building in new areas. First, I have no idea for certain, and will probably be proved wrong (which is fine by me) but this model may have the largest third party tires used for Technic models. They are nearly 6 inches tall! I have not seen any taller. Second, I haven't really seen any models being used for muddin'. We hav…

Could anyone please tell me what type of this MOC called? I've seen other superheroes as well but could not find the picture now. And I was wondering whether there is a name for this specific MOC so i could use it for better search. If anyone have an instruction on how to build one of them, it would be great!!! Many thanks

I know St. Patrick's Day was yesterday, but this MOC is definitely worth seeing. I like how the museum guys are tied up and the cool rainbow that is over that tiny pot of gold. Link.

Just started building 10240-1 and found a piece from the stand that was basically flying around in the box and not in any of the numbered bags. Is this normal?
