Piratedave84 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Excellent work Calabar. Brickdoctor, will we be able to count on Aanchir for color and accuracy this time around? Pirate Edited June 2, 2011 by Piratedave84 Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 Brickdoctor, will we be able to count on Aanchir for color and accuracy this time around? Yup. Quote
moop2000 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Agreed, a great first step, setting a good tone for the build. One question, in LDD, it says your section is 259 bricks, are minifigs counted as one brick or are you going by just the total LDD count? And does a baseplate count towards someone's total? Quote
SilentMode Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) One question, in LDD, it says your section is 259 bricks, are minifigs counted as one brick or are you going by just the total LDD count? And does a baseplate count towards someone's total? I was going to ask that myself. I would guess that a minifigure would count as (hips+legs) + (torso+arms+hands) + (head) + (helmet) + (jetpack*) = 5 parts. I've had a look at the model, and great work so far. I've got a couple of ideas floating around but rather nervous. * I've always thought of them as jetpacks, even though they're oxygen tanks. Edited June 2, 2011 by SilentMode Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 I have 350 bricks as the total. In any case, we go by the number LDD lists. This addition was 260 parts because 10 additional parts were required after color-correction, though do note that does not mean you should use incorrectly colored substitutes to use fewer pieces. Builders who turn in color-correct models are looked well upon by the hosting members. Quote

Builders who turn in color-correct models are looked well upon by the hosting members. I have 350 bricks as the total, I was just referring to the new building, counting it separately. Sorry for the confusion there. So as I understand it, any set that is posted has already been reviewed and has been okayed by those in charge This is the first RCB I've followed, and just want to make sure I understand it correctly. Thanks! Quote

J4ke Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Gotta say, that looks brilliant. Such a classic vibe. The legs are a nice touch, but my favourite element are the stairs. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 Is it my turn yet? Guidelines for discussion of the RCB: Do not ask when it will be your turn. I'll PM you when it is, so if you haven't been PMed saying it's your turn, it isn't your turn. Quote
BasOne Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Is it my turn yet? I will bug you, even if i can't sing.... muahahhahahahaa Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 I will bug you, even if i can't sing.... muahahhahahahaa If you bug the host too much, there are five other builders who'd love to take your place... Quote

Tamamono Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Great start, Calabar! The garage/hangar really has a "classic space" feel to it. Quote
SilentMode Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Nice work with the hangar! Wonder what will go on it? Quote
J4ke Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 On the ramp near the back, you've used loads of 1x3 slopes. You are aware that there are 4x3 slopes? This would save a few pieces. Quote

Brickdoctor Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 I wonder how big this thing is gonna be I'm thinking a little bigger than RCB 2, size-wise, though piece count will be around the same. First post has been updated. Quote
MattTheLegoman Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I was getting worried that Blue would feature too much in this build. But I love the current use of blue as the base colour. The build is looking great so far! (Even though it is only turn 3.) Edited June 16, 2011 by MattTheLegoman Quote
Tamamono Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Is still going? It's been quiet..... As far as I know it's still going. I just finished my turn, so I guess we're just waiting for Aanchir to color-check it. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Is still going? It's been quiet..... Yep. Turn 5 is currently only awaiting the Color Master's approval.You could always discuss previous turns if you want something to talk about. During RCB 1 everyone commented on the turns when they were complete. Maybe I should post whenever I update the first post, so you'll know when a turn is completed.
