[MOC] Scorpion Tracker 2023
Murdoch17 replied to The Reader's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
I would make me sad too. Side note: I wish they'd release it in a neutral color, like white or light bluish gray... or both! -
Patience - we won't get any pictures for a long while yet. LEGO has really been cracking down on leaks, so don't expect anything picture-wise until they are revealed, and even if they did leak things change from pre-production to being on shelves so take everything you see or read with a mountain of salt. Also, some sets never get released even if they leak. (Temple of Doom got cancelled by Disney when we had a picture, for example)

I see you've taken my whole post and looked at one sentence only. What I said about the LEGO colors / themes still stands... no matter what possibly misused words I used top convey the concept.

LEGO Sci-Fi Ongoing - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion

I just went and found my two cameras from the Renegade - one was fine, one had the extra lump. -
[MOC] Scorpion Tracker 2023
Murdoch17 replied to The Reader's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Ok, another neat part is being added to my Bricklink want list. Nice MOC @The Reader, I always love your classic-yet-updated builds! (Adventurers FTW!) -
Prepare yourself for a massively unpopular opinion about LEGO colors: Dark Blue has been around in bricks since 1961, Medium Blue since 1949, and Maersk Blue from 1954 up to 2011, as well as the VERY rare Light blue starting in 1949 and running up until 2007, which is also when regular blue came out (1949). So new colors - such as the forementioned blues - are not a new, modern thing. LEGO experiments with new colors and parts to keep fresh, as they always have done and will continue to do. If they didn't do this, or do away with licensed themes, they would have been bought by Mattel long ago, like they almost were in 2001 / 2002. This revisionist rose-tinted glasses thing about the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s being better, with less colors and less themes is total fantasy. (sorry, but it's true!) For some theme examples: LEGO was working on Vikings in 1978 but decided to go with Castle instead. Western would have come out in the 1980s, but Pirates performed slightly better in focus groups, and they only had production capacity for one new theme - and Pirates was pushed back like three years anyway for the lack of factory space / money to expand. (All this is written in the book 'The secret life of LEGO minifigures', among many other tidbits that will blow your mind.)

Tagging @Jim as it appears to be a weird site issue of some sort...
-
You made me LOL with that, @JesseNight.

Update! This space train station (named 'Base Terminus') is to be used with my retro-futuristic Blacktron passenger train to get staff and VIP's to and from the space base. (Some printed parts not in the picture, but they will be when it's built in real life.) Thoughts?

Welcome to Eurobricks and Train Tech @Aleksi Perala! From what I can see of your models they are amazing! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see more detailed pictures of what you've made!
-
Thank you @GeoBrick!
-
Thanks @Feuer Zug! Thank you @JesseNight. RE: future MOC's: only time will tell if more are made... (In all seriousness, I'm out of models I want to make / vehicles that are easily recognizable) Thanks @Yperio_Bricks, and I agree about the inventor being a good match for the machine! (You need to find and watch the 1960 film, as it's good! The 2002 one is less so...)

This MOC of author H.G. Wells' time-traveling vehicle from the novel 'The Time Machine' (specifically this MOC is inspired by the excellent 1960 movie version) was designed by user D3ner over on Rebrickable. You can see those free instructions here, though it requires major modifications to be buildable in real life. My brother re-built that MOC digitally in Studio and edited it for me to make it more stable and look better. This model completes my Time Machine collection* and has technically been built since mid-December, but wasn't completed until today when my brother found me an Steampunk Inventor fig from CMF series 27 at Walmart. (Thanks bro!) The Inventor fig fits perfectly with the time machine, and his hat just barely fits over the top of the seat, almost like they were made for each other. *My five time machines include: Bill & Ted's Phonebooth The TARDIS BTTF Time Train BTTF DeLorean H.G. Wells' Time Machine Thoughts? (Also, @Peppermint_M, if you think this belongs somewhere else, feel free to move it where you see fit. I honestly wasn't sure where to put this MOC.)

How to search for dual-molded/ printed legs?
Murdoch17 replied to hikouki's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Try searching the legs, modified category for "boots" or click here for the category search term, @hikouki. Also, here is the part you're looking for. It's a stupid taxonomy, and the search is usually worthless, but that's par for the course for Bricklink sometimes... -
Thanks @Barry_Smith! That was my line of thinking as well.
