Are you building a SNOT base? Pics please.

It's a very nice one indeed. Thanks for the name updates. I've added them to the review.

Yeah right. We've heard of no such thing from TLG. And until then, I say this is a bluff.

And since this has been out-paged, it's moving on to the MCW where customs belong.

The Great Review on Brickarms parts. During the past few years or so, I've managed to get hold of quite a fine bunch of Brickarms weaponry and minifigs. Now it's time to have a closer look and evaluate them. Earlier I was a purist when it came to LEGO - no clone brands and certainly no customized parts. - Be that modified or custom made That all changed when I stumbled upon the customs done by Brickarms - I instantly felt the need to own some and within long I did First let's have a look at the two custom minifigs, I've managed to get I present, the "Resistance Trooper" This guy fears nothing, he's constantly fighting birds of prey and tanks with his trusted weapons and when he's not, then he's fighting Terminators instead. I bet that why he's got such a grim smile "Smashing Machines to save humanity!" - what better catch-line can you get? Utility vest, ammo clip, AC8 in hand and HCSR strapped on his back. This guy means business, that's for sure. And when it gets real messy, he's got a bipod to ease aiming his .50 slugger at some baddies I once met a rifle like that. Luckily the guy who had it was on our side. A High Caliber Sniper Rifle is not something to mess with. A .50 bullet at 2000 metres will take your arm off - or your head for that sake And in comes the "Bad Guy" Mr Terminator himself. Now it might be that our "hero" packs a serious rifle and some 'nades, but this fella packs iron skeleton and a minigun that'll tear down a rain forest in seconds or a lot of police cars - depending on which Schwarzenegger moview you prefer And I think we prefer Terminator in this review. And it even works IRL After seeing what the minigun can do, backup arrives to aid the Resistance Trooper. Sadly all that could be found at short notice was this And it seems our photographer caught them at a intimate moment Anyho' they brought a crate of "whoop-that-metal-thing's-megablocks-stuff" Tadaa! First round unpacked and ready to be utilized - or not! "Let's have a deeper look in that crate people!" What are you guys thinking? Vacuum to death after a carpet beating? "Last chance to get something good out of this thing!" "Right, what have we got?" "Spoon, wrench, brush and medieval swords!" "Medieval Swords!" Yessir! medieval swords and a helmet to go with them!" And now I'd better stop, as I am not much of a comic and it'll take forever to present all the stuff I took pictures of. So let's get down to business: The good ol' bat /slugger and a couple of mean looking dados. Both are very usefull - that bat can be used in almost anything from modern cities to mafia settings and Apoc dioramas. A must have together with the dadao sword More medieval swords - not much to say. They're a nice addition to one's ever growing army of medieval infantry and knights. Oddly it seems I got a mismold - I bet that'll be worth a bunch on eBay some day Syringe and scalpel - perfect for evil doctors / reanimators / hospitals drug addicts and what have you. And now we switch to "Guns" (cue the NRA community song) The BAR rifle is a perfect interpretation in my eyes - classic WW2 weapon now available by Brickarms. And so is the StG44 Vampir - I've even tried to handle a very similar weapon with a infrared light and scope. The weigth is killing you when trying to aim at anything. Luckily the size issue with IR and LI has been sorted out since then. Assault Carbine Model 8 - stunning and fits a minifig perfectly. Another look at the "Grizzly Hunter" rifle of all times. Just look at that muzzle brake design So Barrett M82A1 MG42 - a reliable way to pound the enemy senseless and certainly a must have, if you plan a D-Day MOC. 2 Types of ammos - drum canister or ammo belt. Another classic, the M1 Carbine. Nice rifle. M47 Tactical pumpgun with scope. It's bound to make a lot of noise and fill the room with slugs in an instant. RPG - Rocket Propellar Grenade. Not quite sure which weapon this is - it's trans that's for sure. Gunblade It's evil to look at and probably quite useless IRL - but it's still cool and more than useable in for example and Apoc MOC. A scoped, trans clear little pistol. Again I am at a loss at the name of it. Han Solo's Blaster. I wish I had this one in black - so many Han's really need this. Wait isn't that Han holding it already? Sawed off shotgun - now I can't imagine a LEGO world without this. "This is my BOOM-STICK!" Nothing else to add, is there? Erhm! Flame Gun from Logan's Run Longslides. I instantly have "bullet-time" scenes from Max Payne (not the movie) in my head. Same thing, just with sub-machineguns this time. That and this: Best shootout scene ever made Another fine rifle to equip soldiers in modern times or sci-fi settings. Pistols - perfect in my opinion. What better way to ride through town that packing 2 of these? The Combat PDW - a very potent close counters spray weapon. And a little pistol for the man who needs a golden gun. I bet he wanted one here: And a little tease - gunblade and sawed off in nice trans colours. "Weapon strap-on's"' (meant non-offensively) The "clip" - used for a bundle of weapon strap-on's... A heavy blade - more scary than the regular bayonet. Chainblade - perhaps that's more scary than the heavy blade? Classic bayonet. And another mismolded one - not that it really "hurts", because this might prove a quite usefull size on smaller weapons? Trans blades ready for a little cutting. And bayonets ready for some stabbin' And finally a few "non-strap-ons". The classic pineapple grenade and M203 grenade launcher often seen on M16 Rifles (or C7A1 as the Canadian one I used in the military was named). Wave goodbye at the spyish guy and welcome the Alien Fella, who'll take us on a short tour of Sci-Fi weapons: "Alien Sci-Fi pack+" "Hi I'm.... well... my name is.... Let's just get on with it!" A nice classic looking space gun which comes in many colours at your preference. Personally I like the yellow one the most. I can easily imagine a load of Classic Space figs holding these in their individual colour. Not quite sure what this thingy is named, but it sure look sci-fi to me. Needle Gun Now this one I do know. The Plasma Blade Sci-Fi'ish looking guns. Sure to come in handy in most space settings. Space pistols So cute and tiny. And finally a picture of my entire stash so far: The lot

Traitor! The Emperor shall hear of your pirate-love

The only thing that has actually been requested is a picture with a baseplate next to the MOC to compare width and so far marshal banana hasn't added such a picture. But there's still time.

Actually it looks like it fits. Plus the rules state that a SNOT base is allowed to be a little bigger due to the difficulty in using the 5/6 ratio when it comes to brick heigth and width.

My first order with BrickTW just arrived. And I am absolutely stunned. The parts are of really good quality and the colours are spot on! I'll be making a review of it all in a few days - I have to finish up my review of a load of Brickarms first

If it doesn't rain then Hamilton is screwed. He did his fastest lap on soft tyres and they wear down after 5-6 rounds. And since he has to start on the tyres he did the fastest lap in, then he'd better hope for rain, so that he can start on wets and avoid pitting after 5 laps. At least that's how I saw it. I think that his driving style suits Montreal well. It's hard getting heat into the tyres and he certainly got those tyres warm unlike Button

Not sure I understand your question. Do you want them to move it from the US to England or would you like a LEGO-con in England? From wikipedia:

Here's a kind pointy finger: This is not a chat - it's a discussion topic and the same goes for the other topics here in the Star Wars Forum. Over the past days several members are acting as if this is a chat forum. Please stop that now and think before you post. "Stay On Target!"

I'm sorry but the rules state before June 1st. Next time you may join in and have a go at winning.

It's seems some members are keen on discussing this for nothing more than the discussion itself. I'll close this down and leave it to the members for themselves to decide what to believe.

Happy Birhday Walrus Keeper. Thanks for taking care of our beloved walrus - eventhough his farts smell like clam

Which is why you choose to bump it with a comment like that?

Yup - Montreal will prove to be a very intense race. Shame on you for not getting any tickets

Overhang is fine

I the first post I asked you guys to keep this discussion clean and argumentative. You've failed. Not happy And leave it to staff to decide who get's banned and who doesn't. Hell no

You may have a point there. Still it's allowed, but one must surely consider such things.

Yessir! That's what I like I think I'd better update that entry index. We've got so many different types of entries now that it's hard to keep up with them. Thanks Tereglith for making this great epic scene

Entries on the same epic scene by different members are allowed - so noone can actually "steal" your scene. Do it your way and you're all set for possibly winning

Indeed, now stop bumpin' this topic you dork
