nolanfan34 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Bricks, that is awesome. We need a thread for stuff that our kids build. My son is always building his own "sets", which always seem to include a vehicle, structure, and a few named minifigs. He is 5. This is Captain Gunray's base. The Captain is the guy on the far left. I love the little cannon though, actually a pretty creative use of detail I thought that I could see on a ship or something. This is a farm set of course. I get the brush for the horse, and the broom for the stall. A little concerned on what they plan to do with the axe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Finally opened up the Haunted House I have had since last Christmas and built it to display for Halloween. It took me about 9 hours over a 3 day period. It was a really enjoyable build and it looks even better in person than it does in the pictures. I really like the sand green color and all of the little details that are in this set!Doesn't that set just kick major ass?! It's wicked awesome and the prize in my own collection. Practically the perfect Lego set to me. Built this hog over the weekend.Nice! What set is that?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2onCOdhbN7c :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbeard Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I was checking out at the local target last night and grabbed a Umbaran MHC polybag to put together during the rain here today .. fun little build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spener90 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I built an Ent last night, and will be building part of Orthanc tonight! 4 more hours until I'm home free!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Today there will be an unopened haunted house sitting on the kitchen table for my kids to put together after school. With Halloween coming up I thought this would make a great display piece in the living room. Then we can get it out every October for years to come and display it proudly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenchu2000 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 POTC Queen Anne, just completed yesterday. It's an awesome ship, and it's huge, much bigger than I expected. I am planning to work on the Black Pearl tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeboy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This weekend my boys (6 & 4) will start putting together our Monster Fighter collection - we have everything except the mad scientist lab. Last year we put a sweet display in our front porch window for ourselves and for Halloween visitors. A little black light and some dry ice fog, and the display looks awesome. I'll try to get some pics when we're done. I scored a scarecrow from the current minifigure series, so we'll have to give him a prominent spot in the display - perhaps a small corn field to one side of the HH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeboy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I bought a MSIB 8169 a few months back for $70 (half its current value per BP.com), and I just opened the box it came in yesterday (in order to use the same box for shipping something else). Well, I had no intention of building this set, but the box is pristine, and the car looks so amazing....and there's a newly-made clean spot on my desk. So, I may build this while the kids build the MF Halloween display mentioned above...decisions, decisions. What would you do? Build or hold?

TheOrcKing Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well, I took apart one of my Log Cabins to put together the other alternate build, a River Hut. (Image purely for referance.) Oddly enough it seems a little bit bigger (or should I say 'stouter') than the other alternate, Country Retreat, yet shorter at the same time. It appears big enough from the outside but there is absolutely no room at all to move inside until you remove the roof which also happens to be the side wall. I must say each build has at least one thing going for it one way or another but the main model of the set really where it is all at. Decent build for $30 (better for less) but I can see this set easily be dethroned if another Creator house at a much larger scale (think Family House) comes along with oodles of those reddish brown bricks.

Dang, that car really is BIG! It's definitely pretty big. My son took the vampire out of the coffin and he's now riding shotgun. I'm not sure I'd want a zombie cheaffer to drive me around.

kenchu2000 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Ferris Wheel. But for some reasons, the rubberbands that supplied with the set do not have strong enough tension to support the rotation, so the wheel currently doesn't rotate :-( I did a little research by googling, seems like other people have the same issue.

Scissorino Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 My wife wants to finish off the campervan with me so tonight I did a quick little build: 9461 The Swamp Creature. Really cool figs and some nice pieces including silver grills and studs, some trans green stuff and 3 guns (1a spare piece). Few nice tan bits too. I got it discounted as well so all in all well worth it and something to do for a few minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's never fun. Hope you can get it rotating in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
