Building LEGO

got a hold of these two ships in a lot but the sails need cleaning and they are either creased or rolled .... whats the best way to clean them and straighten them out so theyre flat again? thanks

What system do you use to sort and store for quick, easy access? I acquired a UHAUL sized load of parts that I want to use for building MOCs and need help. I am thinking some kind of wall-sized drawer-ed system but not sure what people have tested and like. Thanks for any help.

Most of you will know R2D2 from Star Wars and of course the LEGO Set might be on your list when it comes to investments. (I guess if some investors did actually build the sets they own they could build a small droid army ^.^ ) Since it's an awesome LEGO model I guess that a lot of you own one for yourselves as well. Doing most important research on the internet I found some nice R2D2 MOCs/Versions that I'd like to share with you all because I think they are awesome and add some spice to the normal model. Hope you enjoy them.

For my final post of this year, I am proud to introduce the Range Rover Evoque with air ride. The car was too black so I added white, it was too low so I raised it a stud and the hood wasn't slanted enough so I re-created the front of the vehicle. I reduced the weight to 6.3 pounds (2850g) The car functions really well, I highly suggest using an S-brick for this car as the receivers are hidden behind the seats. This car has 4wd, air ride, torsion bar suspension, 2 XL motors for drive, 2 m motors for lift, V8, servo for steering, gear shifter turns on the lights. The car is finally to a perfect scale. The hard parts of this build was the air ride, torsion b…

Here is a selection of minifigure dioramas as part of a collaborative effort between KevFett2011 and Tuxedo Greedo. (These should be all of them unless either builder makes more down the road.)

Has anyone remade market street by buying the pieces and using the online instructions? Its 1200 some odd pieces just wanted to know what was the ballpark price you paid for the pieces? How many different places did you go to buy the pieces? How hard was it to find the pieces? This would be my first time doing this. The original is just too costly and you could add your own twist of color to it. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your help and input.

Wondering what is the best way to remove printing from a brick?

Why do LEGO bricks turn yellow? LEGO bricks are made of Acrylonitril-butadieen-styreen or for short ABS. ABS is very cheap and very sturdy. It is however flammable (they add product against it) and also very sensible to UV-light, oxygen, moist and heat. If LEGO bricks are exposed too much to these elements, they will turn yellow. So best to keep your used LEGO dry, dark, temperate and preferably wrapped in a plastic bag to keep out oxygen. But there is good news for those precious sets that were not kept in that manner. I recently bought a second had 6339-1 Launch Pad from a woman on a second hand site in "GOOD" condition, but turned out it was completely yellowed. I…

I was at my mom's house today and found some old lego sets from the late 90's early 2000's. Most of the sets are 99% complete but i'm either missing one brick or I substitute a lego with a different color lego. I'm trying to bring some of these sets back to life. Besides brinklink where else should I be looking for replacement legos?

Based on a classic age where tantalizing tales of science fiction and pleasing aesthetical forms of art came together to create a captivating concept of an alternate future utopia about ray guns, star travel, hulking robots, and invaders from beyond, these builds capture this essence of a "retro future" in all its delightfully quirky charms. While many if not most of the designs could hardly be considered practical or efficient by today's real world standards of technology and leisure, nevertheless much like a vintage car what matters is the look of the ride itself.

Hello, i was searching for about 100 of these pieces (3633) in dark bluish gray,but prices are really too high! I cannot manage to find one at less than 2 eur each in europe. Now checking recent sales on bricklink it seems that there were bought a lot in past months for like 0,20 cent each but now there is like a general sold out. So i was wondering why this happened and if you know where else i can buy that parts from. Thank you in advance

Finally finished my Sandcrawler and with Jaisonline's help have already done some fine tuning to the hatches. This thing has great playability and lots of options to modify it. The pics are just a quick MOC to see what it will look like with the studs covered. I can get the elements I need from Bricklink for $40. Then I plan on adding power next.

Well I have 4 more bags left to go and my Sandcrawler build will be complete. Hopefully it will rain this weekend so I can work on it. I am going to finish one of the front side panels with brown flat 1x4 and 1x2 tiles to cover the studs. I will post pics but want to see how it looks before coving the entire vehicle. I want to add power functions and picked up a 9398 Crawler last night and before I open it up to pull the power elements wanted to get others with some experience doing this advice and/or point me to a link with some tips. If anyone who has built the Sandcrawler and the 9398 could chime in and tell me about the feasibility I would appreciate it. Al…

So as I recently got back into LEGO, I realized I don't like little sets. Reasons: 1) They're too small to display on their own, and look strange beside a large set unless you have an entire theme all together. And if you don't have a large focal point, it just looks like a bunch of random scenes mixed together. Especially when not on a LEGO baseplate (such as on a table, shelf, or the carpet). In order to get a nice looking scene you may need the entire theme, which may cost thousands of dollars (in the case of Harry Potter). Even if you have them all, some themes can still look kind of bare when laid out together (like The Hobbit). 2) They take up a lot of room. A cou…
