  1. @Alexandrina, looks to be from a Lego Idea book. Way before my time, but I recognized it from the video by Jangbricks on that book.
  2. Nice creation! You are absolutely on a roll Captain Flint. I think the textured walls here worked out pretty well. What is the intended function of the fan on the roof?
  3. Putting cypress trees in an Ideas submission is quite a gangster move . I really enjoy the color scheme and the asymmetrical design. The one thing that bothers me a bit are those gaps under the hinged sections at the top of the pediment. Great creation though!
  4. I'm enjoying this WIP thread. Are you working from any plans or drawings?
  5. Nice work! I'm very impressed by the shaping of the faces of the pyramid. I wonder whether such a temple would have looked gray and weathered when it was in use.
  6. Welcome to the forum! You might be interested in this alternate build by fellow Eurobricks member @Ransom Fern. A common technique for swords in Lego mechs is to attach the sword to the inside of the hand with a technic connector and then wrap the fingers around the hilt so it looks like the mech is holding the sword. See the instructions for 8103 Sky Guardian for an example of this. In that set, the hilt piece itself is Bricklink no. 32039.
  7. Those are some very cool sets! I don't know if I have any useful advice to give, but I'm curious whether you are planning to acquire more Lego in the future? You may want room to expand the collection...
  8. I love this! I hope that diorama backdrop helped this build be noticed at the event. It certainly makes the photo stand out. Thanks for sharing!
  9. A family square dance scene would be awesome and hilarious . Though perhaps too specific to North America for TLG... A new combine, on the other hand, would have so much universal appeal and I think would do really well!
  10. I think it's important for the community to support good alt builds, since they represent a much more accessible way for most people to be creative with Lego than huge MOCs with hundreds of minifig hands as greebles. It's especially important for us to carry on the torch of alt builds since Lego no longer features them on box art! I don't particularly know why this was chosen for the frontpage, apart from it being a good MOC, but IMO Eurobricks is a more welcoming site when small MOCs and alt builds are featured. In any case, it's a good creation. It looks good for play, with plenty of nice spaces to pose minifigs! Thanks for sharing.
  11. I really like this! I especially enjoy that you put some interior in this microscale model. The shape of those 8 "keyhole" windows on the second floor also stands out. Thanks for sharing! Wind Waker has some of the most beautiful art and design in the series. Way too long since I played it...
  12. Such a tragedy! I am thinking the Adventurers will win as they have the high ground . My favorite detail I see so far is the raft that curves a bit. Thanks for sharing!
  13. Nice work! Those soldiers in yellow are very cool. Thanks for sharing this.
  14. You're probably correct.

    Significant improvement (in my opinion)!
  16. Yeah, I feel like a farm theme or the return of the farm subtheme is badly needed. The 2021 tractor set is great, but it would be so much better if there were farm sets available that it could be used with. I don't know how well farm stuff sells for Lego, but it's been more than ten years since the last farm subtheme. A milk truck would be fun for play, but perhaps not in common enough use anymore for a city set? I've heard of a few companies in my area bringing back milk delivery recently, but most places in the US, milk delivery hasn't been common for decades. Maybe a milk truck will be seen someday in a winter village set or modular, as those tend to be a bit old-timey themed.
  17. Beautiful! I like the use of alternate faces for singing. Looks much better than the old days of brickfilming when mouth movements were achieved in MS Paint... I hope this inspires more opera inspired brickfilms and MOCs!
  18. So much love for those bubble canopies. Thank you for sharing this!

    Nice work! I think I like the shaping around the cockpit better in the physical model. Also that yellow striping along the back adds a lot in my opinion. Are the landing gear sturdily attached?
  20. Man with beard replied to Captain Flint's post in a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
    I like it! Kind of reminds me of the world of Wall-E.
  21. Absolutely beautiful model! The gold looks great in the physical build. Very cool to see as someone who has never before seen German locomotives. Thank you for sharing!
  22. Looks pretty cool, and the piece count seems reasonable for a physical build. The stem has a nice unique shape, as does the aftercastle. I'm not sure about that sail on the mizzen-mast though. The shape doesn't make sense to me.
  23. I'll assume that Sam Sinister isn't trolling and say that I don't think any of these badges are needed. As far as I know, Eurobricks was founded in France and should be a welcoming community for continental Europeans (as well as everyone else this scheme would put in the "Foreign" category). Also, as per the site guidelines: So all the religious badges seem to be in contradiction with the guidelines and the spirit of the whole site. Personally, I think it is cool to see all the different countries people are writing from, so I don't mind the existing country feature.

    I really enjoy this, SERVATOR! Good solution for the windshield and roof especially. I'm a fan of the compact size as well. One thing I don't like is how the rear end hangs down lower than the rest of the car. Thanks for sharing!
  25. I really enjoy this! Thanks for sharing. The Indiana Jones tent looks lovely here. I think my favorite detail is the clothesline and clothespins. I also like that fur piece on the roof! I must confess I am not familiar with it...
