  1. Unfortunatly, he's getting yellower and yellower, not golder and golder.

  4. I seem to get an error message...
  5. Well, now that I see what you hsall be doing, I can better fit my suggestions to your project in particular. Since it's a building, you are in luck. Of most large projects, I find builldings and cars to be easiest. Firstly you must decide if you want an interior or not. This is a big step. It decideds whether A) You create a solid structure, and can focus more on detail. B) You create a stucture that is sturdy, but also has interior access, meaning harder details. I assume you will be deisnging an interior. The biggest thing I can recommend? Modules. Each thing you do should be in modules. It cuts the workload down, and is more promising. For instance, on my house I am currently making, I build each wall, and each roof segment. Then the outer walls, and four floor segments per room. This way, you can make them the same, and by taking it in small bites, you can better pay attentin to detail than woking on one massive structure. When the modules are done, begin to construct them. When each segment is added, you may have to secure them in place before moving to the next, so you have a sturdy structure. When all the segments have been added, you are, in my mind, half done. See, what my idea is, double every wall. Go around a second time, repeating the walls, but this time adding more detail. You then get depth. And then, go and wipe out the inner walls that you don't nee, so you still have the parts. Now if this is a first large project for you, I wouldn't recommend it, as it takes a ton of patience and time, and can get annoying. So let's look at the drawing you provided. Many small details, from what I can see. I think you will have the most trouble with the main entrance. I would suggest using SNOT, and maybe a technique like CC`. As for stain glass window mosaic, that will be costly, but a prominent part of the MOC. THe money you put into it will surley be worth it. I would suggest first planning the mosaic in CAD or on paper. And regarding the LDD issue, if you really must use a computer design, then I would suggest LDraw.org, it's a wonderful program, and althugh you can't buy the model, you can still see what it will look like, and get the names of all of the bricks. I shall continue tomrrow when I get home from school. =)
  6. I love 'em, just can't MOC very good with them.
  7. ... Vader? That be Natman4000. ;)
  8. And to answer the question, you cannot have spaces, or any other characters besides A-Z, -, and 1-9.
  9. Nice job. Some clever techniques you used, and I like them. Nice to see attention to detail. Now I want to make an Aeropostale` store.
  10. Essay due Wednesday as well. Actually it's a rubric for History, but along the same lines.
  11. Well, the more, the merrier. ;) Me too. Well, I keep a notebook next to my bed, so I can draw a picture or write out the idea, so I can boot my memory when I get around to building the MOC. Aye, that be the plan.
  12. Well, to start, it sounds as if you have a good idea of how to get started. Jim and Ricecracker have pointed some great tips regarding time. But I will toss in my thoughts. As a beginning, remember that on your first attempt, it won't turn ut right. No matter how much time anyone has ever put into a MOC, such as me, it just won't be done when you think. You'll see things that you want to upgrade, fix, move, etc. And that is okay. That is simply like writing an essay. You make the rough, edit, and come out with a product. Then you reveal it, get some advice from fellow members, and modify it again according to their tastes and your own. Second, overestimate. Say you have a $100 fund you want to put into this. Make it $150. When you get working, you will soon find that it grows, expands, and you go over your limit. Overestimate so that you aren't shocked with the outcome. Parts come at a price, and you need to realize that. Third, study. Take techniques from other members, lego, and your own thoughts. Maybe use lego's color technique to fill in open areas that won't be shown with less useful colors, like blue and red. Maybe use SNOT or MDT(many directions technique) when building. Dream. Cna't get to sleep? Think about various things that you can incorporate into your design. When you wake up in the morning, you will be filled with ideas. Finally, take notes. Wheteher they be when you are driving past something and like what you see, or something else. Have fun. f you have any questions, feel free to ask.
  13. Oddly enough, BZP. Back before the "no-forum" rule.
  14. Guys, Brickshelf is fine now, please, get back on topic. I started this thread to discuss Bionicle 2009, and that's what you should all be doing as well. If need be, I would be happy to assume responsibility to watch over this topic until Jinzo comes back(I have been, I've just been logged in as hidden). Thanks.
  15. Oh, I'm happy now. Just found that 7 of my Hot Wheels equal $202! I have around 400 cars, I need to get researching!
  16. Great review, and wonderful trailer. Great job!
  17. Well, maj is still up, so I'm assuming it's a problem with brickshelf, not the server.
  18. Same prob here. I was in the middle of uploading all of my trade-related stuff.
  19. Great, PM me when ready. =)

  22. If not, I could sell the GG to you for 20$ (normally I would charge the full 25, but it has the stickers on it, so I give a discount)
  23. What do you want in return? Awaiting it. ;)
  24. This is how it works. I will trade you bulk parts(system or bionicle), or any special requests if I can fufill them. What do I need? -Any Disturbed CDs -Any Trapt CD's -Any Breaking Benjamin CD's -Any Thousand foot Krutch CD's -Any Lamb of God CDs -Any Kerli CDs -Any Evanescence CDs -Any Linkin park CDs -Any Avenged sevnfold CDs. -Any Nickelback CDs(except for Dark Horse) -Any Sum 41 CDs -Any Static X CDs Best part? I'll take them either new OR used. I would prefer it if you give them used, that they are in somewhat good condition. And if you provide proof you can be trusted, I WILL send first. If you need, I can give you proof of my trustiness. If you live outside of the US, you pay most of the shipping.
  25. ^What he said. You can either offer cash, or any of these CDs; -Any Disturbed CDs -Any Trapt CD's -Any Breaking Benjamin CD's -Any Thousand foot Krutch CD's -Any Lamb of God CDs -Any Kerli CDs -Any Evanescence CDs -Any Linkin park CDs -Any Avenged sevnfold CDs. -Any Nickelback CDs(except for Dark Horse) -Any Sum 41 CDs -Any Static X CDs Reminds me, I need to start a topic about those.
