Building LEGO

Here is a starting handful of "super heavy investment in parts" starcrusiers for your perusal from this year's SHIPtember building event with more to be posted in due time. Apologies for not uploading last year's designs. After this I will go back and sort that out.

A few years ago I picked up video games again and, while catching up, a couple of my favorites (Uncharted 2 & Far Cry 4) took place in South Asia. It inspired me to create a couple of smaller vehicles, which in turn led me to creating this entire project: Here's the full flickr gallery if you want to see more - as well as the link to the project in Ideas, if you're interested in adding your support: https://www.flickr.com/photos/142667034@N04/with/49940857112/ https://ideas.lego.com/projects/f9009263-d502-4284-a0e7-be215d19972a

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 would love to just sit down and build something like I did when I was a kid, but I find myself suffering from blank page syndrome. Even if I go in with a goal in mind, like building a robot or whatever, I just can't get started. Along those lines, any suggestions on making a bin/box/whatever specifically for this sort of free building? I've got tons of Lego bricks, which I've tried to sort by color, but that compounds the difficulty of free building. I'm thinking it would be good to make a mixed box of parts that are explicitly unsorted.

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

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…

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

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.

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…

Perhaps I should have begun this a while ago, I have posted several MOCs on this site. But instead of posting each new MOC, I am beginning one that will show all from here on into the future. I wont repost one in the past, if interested go ahead and check them out here: http://www.moc-pages.com/home.php/100020 I am not an immensely popular builder. But I do have fun and i use a variety of different builds, build in many genres, using many techniques, and probably have some of the more diverse-types of builds out there. Mostly a technic builder, but sometimes i dabble in mechs, space, and Star Wars Genres. This is my latest build; as we get ready fo…
