Building LEGO

No one needs the machine! Since I found the construction exciting, I built the machine. But you shouldn't look too long at the middle that it has a hypnotic effect! Have fun https://youtu.be/Fpsn7HLn4XY

You can have the article translated automatically via Google Chrome, but basically it says that 16 yrs old built within a year this MF. Its 163 by 118 cm, consists of 70.000 pieces and what is most interesting.. the kid concluded that the price of all the bricks was just cca 300 USD more than the original UCS version.. unbelievable.. https://www.idnes.cz/jihlava/zpravy/lego-millennium-falcon-stavebnice-hvezdne-valky-pelhrimov-rekord-kuriozita-mezina-vysocina-radek-pop.A191211_084929_jihlava-zpravy_mv

Hi, SO I stumbled upon the site "Light my Bricks". Pretty cool site and I was drawn to how they sell specific kits for specific sets, but I also naturally assumed they are up-charging quite a bit. I wanted to ask someone's opinion who has a lot of experience buying LED lights and mounting them in their displays. For example, they sell a lighting kit for a UCS Tie (Here). It looks like the kit comes with: 1 x Flat Battery Pack 5 x Bit Lights (White) 1 x Multi-Effects Board 2 x 6-Port Expansion Board 1 x Connecting Cable 5 cm 2 x CR2032 Batteries 3 x Assorted LEGO® pieces for assembly Lets say for argument sake I take advantage of their free…

I decided to start taking down some sets I have built and displayed. I already had several pieces break just by separating the bricks. I have been using the brick separator too. This is very frustrating considering how much we pay for these fricking sets. Now I have to put in an order for bricklink where the shipping and handling will cost 10x what bricks I need replaced. I think I am going to end up just leaving some of the bigger sets intact.

Hi. I finally managed to build my EV3 omni/holonimic telerobot with anti collision-system. If you drive to close to anything it stop and reverse a bit, if needed. Sensitivity and reverse is adjustable. I will equippe them with laser tag weapons and laser aim system and so on. It can be remote controlled over the internet with live camera stream, so it is a internet camera robot, (that moves like a computer avatar in FPS computer game). It can be controlled over the internet from a mobile phone, ipad or computer, from a browser. I plan to build a internet game so that you can log in to robots and have a game with them like in https://www.isot…

Hi. There is again a good telerobotics app for android called RoboCam. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.proghouse.robocam&hl=en_US You build a Mindstorm's EV3 robot and tape on an android mobile. The mobile connects with Bluetooth to EV3 and then with wifi to the internet. It can then be remotely controlled from other countries from a mobile or computer in a browser. Here is some collected info from their website about their app development. http://www.proghouse.ru/tags/robocam Translate it with Google translate. https://translate.google.com It is not in open source as CellBots was released in 2009. www.cellbots.com …

Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum. I live in China and was able to pick up this set. Take a look here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnyfounEhIg

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.)

Was working on parting out Set 21151 The End Battle, and came across these. Codes you can enter in the game for Skins. Also, I like seeing all the new parts that come out, and also everyone’s favorite parts so I thought I’d start a new thread dedicated to it.

I know this is a resellers forum but hopefully someone can help me out? A friend reached out to me asking if I could do an approx. 4” version of either Science World or the Harbour Center at her bosses request. These are 2 buildings located in Vancouver BC Canada. I let her know I’m the wrong person for the job but I’d post the question on here to see if there would be any takers or is there a forum/group that I may have better luck with? I’d appreciate any info. Thanks in advance.

So it´s a MOC after all.

Hey everyone, So I had this vision to build a very small minimalistic black tiled frame that would be mounted behind my sets and lifted enough to be scene above the set. (rough sketch attached). I was curious if anyone had any idea on how to build these? Or have seen any sample builds out there? I figured I'd ask before I just jump in and start from scratch. I tried googling some, but a lot of them featuring gluing bricks ON existing frames and thats not what I want. I want to build something simple, all out of legos. That can "pinch" the print in a frame somehow. This frame does NOT need glass, I just need something that will hold maybe a 4"x6" print in place …

Kinda long, but an excellent interview and good coverage of his city layout.

As of today, April 7th 2018, the original Space theme by LEGO hits the four Earthen decades mark. For many it was what brought us into the building block fold with their band of galactic explorers. Although the theme has not truly been continued in any official capacity outside of a few nods and promos, the classic legacy treks ever onward through the fans' creations with what is generally called as Neo Space. You can find a number of such various MOCs in the thread linked for all the classic Space teams. Classic Space @ 40 by justin_m_winn

A Summer In Tuscany by Pau Padrós, en Flickr Hey guys, just in case you're interested, this is a little modular MOC I finished a couple weeks ago. There's a whole album about it on Flickr. About its design, there's not much to say. Assembly Square's setup (48x32), only tuned up for a Tuscan/Emilia Romagnan little square (Firenze, Lucca, Piasenza, Modena, Ravenna etc.). I do think it's nice, hope you like it! It's actually the second modular I do that features yellow prominently, but here I believe it's used in a more balanced manner. Besides, I've tried to capture some of the summery details that are often hard to convey in Lego, for instance, the tree peeking b…

Last year's Nnovvember MOC month yielded a total of 91 different Vic Viper designs by 58 creators. Here is the collective collage courtesy of Pascal as is tradition. Be sure to check out the Flickr group if you are interested in seeing the many builds (present and prior) in closer detail. Nnovvember 2017

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?

Many interesting entries for this year's SHIPtember so let us get started with the first ten with more to be added as I go.

Just finished this up, figured I'd post it up. The goal was to leave the Haunted House set untouched but to build around it. I also wanted to be able to open the house. All in all I'm happy with how it turned out. Thoughts and comments appreciated.

This will sort of be a "progress" thread so i will continue to share pictures through the process. Wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems to be a good spot for now. As many of you know i wall mounted my bricklinked 10179 and posted it on these forums, it was a fun endeavor and a great way to display the monster. I've since moved to a smaller condo and now more than ever do i need the room. So i plan to (try) do the same with 75192. I managed to pick one up in store lining up at 6am or so and being 5th in line when my local store (Sherway) got a restock. After about a week i have finally finished building it, and now it's time to start brainstorming ho…
