Shadows Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Let's see... Jelly vigs once I have jellies. Chinese restaurant for the City competition. Build Cafe Corner since I finally got it. Find my boxed up pre-dark-ages LEGO. It's all in a box ... somewhere. I miss it. :'-( All those pirates, forestmen, knights, and classic spacers *wub* I better be going now before I scroll back and comment on the walrusjob up there ... ;-) Quote
iamded Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Build some vignettes with my new Agent 47 minifig. >:-) First I need to do some planning. Also, I need to post my sig-fig, so I can get more involved in EB, and hopefully one of Hinckley's comics. X-D Quote
Corvus Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 What is with this new, sinister desire to be in his comic, iamded? I mean, who wants to be whacked? :-P :-P Quote
Sir Dillon Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I mean, who wants to be whacked? ... this is a trick question, isn't it? 8-| :-P Quote
Batbrick Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I am currently trying to attempt to try to build a fake Antarctic Adventurers line. It will have to go on hold because I wish do distinguish it from the Orient Expedition Everest line by using transparent peices as ice as opposed to using white peices as snow. These trans peices I don't have enough of at the moment..... :-( Hello iamded, even when I take a break from stalking you, you still seem to crop up! Coincedence? I think not! *skull* Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
Brainbox Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Just in the midst of MODing my Batcopter and Bat-tank, and my Batcave shelf. I've done the two vehicles, and the Cave might be this afternoon's work. I've also got a few other possible Bat-MOCs (see what I did there? ;-) ) lined up for a 'goody bag' sort of thread. Quote
El Bucanero Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I mean, who wants to be whacked? :-P :-P Who doesn't want to be whacked!! :-D Really, you should know better! :-P Quote
alex54 Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Well, my project is, like always, making a new town... And I decided to make it "modular", not like CC and MS, but modular in my way: I just keep the technic and spin system to put together the "pieces of houses". I'm working on the first piece. Fisrt, I made the shops: And know, I'm working on the other floors: And after, I will make the interior... Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Very nice houses, Alex! Classic! *y* Working on my vigs for Sir Nadroj's contest.. After that, I'll see if I have time to finish my New City Ideas Contest entry.. :-/ Quote
Wouwie Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 i have a few projects; my vignette for Sir Nadroj;s WWW contest, a Coast Guard boat+base and maybe a new tank Quote
alex54 Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Here some pics from my new city project: It's the statue for my central place And here the continuation of my yellow building: Quote
Siegfried Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I have mentioned I was making a dragon before, but I have never shown it. I haven't got far though. :-$ So far it is just an unfinished head... ...which I haven't worked on for months. Here some pics from my new city project: They look wonderful! *wub* I am so going to steal that! *sweet* Quote
Shadows Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 It's the statue for my central place Very nice stuff, please show that building when it's done, and I've also stolen that statue to use as a base for some others. Now if only they'd give us some grey normal horses! Sinner: A good start, I look forward to seeing where it will progress to, and some very nice snot work on those nostrils (ironic, isn't it?) If you decide to ditch the effort, rebuild it in all white, put it on a black base, and call it a dragon skull diorama. Or one seriously large krayt dragon skeleton for a tatooine desert display... *y* Quote
LuxorV Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I have mentioned I was making a dragon before, but I have never shown it. I haven't got far though. :-$ So far it is just an unfinished head......which I haven't worked on for months. Very nice and neat *y* . I specially like the beak-like ending of the upper lip, it gives it a rapacious look *skull* ! Oh, and I like those nostrils too. The only thing I do not comprehend is why it only has one front tooth in the lover jaw 8- Quote
Siegfried Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Very nice and neat *y* . I specially like the beak-like ending of the upper lip, it gives it a rapacious look *skull* !Oh, and I like those nostrils too. Thanks. The nostrils took a while to do. I'm still not sure if it is dragony enough; it could be seen as a T-Rex head. My plan though is to largely leave the head as it is, and decide later. The only thing I do not comprehend is why it only has one front tooth in the lover jaw 8- Quote
Hinckley Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I think it looks very much like a T-rex head. A very well done one, but a t-rex and not a dragon, nonetheless. I face the same predicament as there are three very important dragons in Book of the Ancients. But, I don't know how I'll build them as the ones LEGO has are too <insert that tiresome argument> (new castle or old dragons) or too Bionicle-y (Vikings) It is my goal to make an organic looking dragon. I don't like displaying wips, but maybe I should share some of the "scale" techniques I've been bandying about and see if you like them. Quote
xwingyoda Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 I don't like displaying wips, but maybe I should share some of the "scale" techniques I've been bandying about and see if you like them. oh yes please do Hinckie ;-) Its always really interesting to see wips and compare them to the final product !! Like you say, newbie MOCers can learn a few tricks from those ;-) *yoda* Quote
LuxorV Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I think what Sinner's dragon head, and possibly Hinckley's too, lack to be dragonish in a couple (or more) or spikes on the back >:-) (maybe a row in the middle of the front-top, too). You know, something like this: or this: Hope it'll be useful. Quote

You know, I was thinking spikes leading up the center of the nose through the forehead, or horns, good call there! As the effort currently stands, it could very easily be adapted into a Chinese styled dragon, suitable for use in parades in front of my Chinese restaurant that you should all go and not vote for. :-$ X-D Otherwise, it'd make a serious figurehead for a ship. I'd like to see that! *y* Quote
Siegfried Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I think it looks very much like a T-rex head. A very well done one, but a t-rex and not a dragon, nonetheless. I don't like displaying WIPs either but I was stupid and mentioned it, and was asked to show it. The problem with this one is the head could be OK when the project is finished so it is my plan to move on to phase 2 and worry about the head later. While I am building a dragon, it isn't just a dragon... I think what Sinner's dragon head, and possibly Hinckley's too, lack to be dragonish in a couple (or more) or spikes on the back >:-) (maybe a row in the middle of the front-top, too). While I do agree that the dragon needs spikes/horns, these will be integrated into the body. That dragon isn't my style anyway. Unfortuantly mine doesn't look like that either! :-P Otherwise, it'd make a serious figurehead for a ship. I'd like to see that! *y* Actually you're halfway there. I want to make a space craft that resembles a dragon... X-D I've been wanting to make one since I was about 10. :'-) Quote

LuxorV Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 But I haven't posted a dragon's head... *wacko* I know, but you wrote you plan to build 3 for your Book of the Ancients: A very well done one, but a t-rex and not a dragon, nonetheless. I face the same predicament as there are three very important dragons in Book of the Ancients. And I thought you had similar problems in shaping their heads... Quote
Hinckley Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I know, but you wrote you plan to build 3 for your Book of the Ancients:And I thought you had similar problems in shaping their heads... I see how you could have thought that. However, I haven't even attempted the heads yet. Right now I am concerned with the body. As I did when I built the Swamp Monster I feel it is difficult to make an organic looking creature using LEGO. Here is the idea I am playing around with for the "dragon construction." brown scales and tan ribs. This would be the start of the dragon's belly... The reason I don't like to display wips is because then other people will finish the model in their heads and then could be disappointed when they see where I finished this. I oftentimes feel this way when looking at someone else's wip ( :-D ) and then seeing the finished product. I sometimes think I liked it better as a wip because I disagree with the way it was finished. I prefer to finish a model without advice and then incorporate feedback into a re-build later :-$ Quote

At this point I thought "hey, I've seen a MOC on BS that could be of use for inspiration!" Then I read the following lines: The reason I don't like to display wips is because then other people will finish the model in their heads and then could be disappointed when they see where I finished this.

Good work :-P I'll patiently wait to see them dragons (and the Book with all the custom charcters) finished ;-) Quote
