Lord Vladivus Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I have a question for you all. Should I continue using yellow or fleshy minifigs? I feel that fleshy has more details but yellow has more simplistic faces, plus the wide range of yellow themes. Will you help me? I dabbled in fleshies, but I've settled on yellow- seems more "Lego". At the end of the day it's your decision how you approach it- we can all appreciate a Moc regardless of the fleshiness/yellowness of it! Quote
Bregir Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I use fleshies for the elves (due to the ears on the lotr hairpieces) and yellows for the rest, as I much prefer the classic look of the yellow figs. Yet, I am open for a wider use of the colours, for instance to discern race or origin :) Quote
Gideon Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I use fleshies for the elves (due to the ears on the lotr hairpieces) and yellows for the rest, as I much prefer the classic look of the yellow figs. Same here for the same reasons, and because of the nice yellow CMF heads. I have yet however almost not built anything with my fleshie elves yet... Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Well, I was planning on doing a Cat A entry but simply couldn't think of anything good (so it morphed into this). Actually, after the first deadline I felt like it might be slightly hypocritical to do another one myself... Anyway, Garmadon and I finished our collectible series: Hopefully I'll have a free-build in a few weeks! Quote
BrickCurve Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I've been busy the last few days- I won best in my category at Brickvention! I will try and get the Moc up in the next few day. Edited January 19, 2015 by BrickCurve Quote
TheUtilityBelt Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks for the help guys! I might try to use some yellow for some builds also, and fleshie for others. Quote
Yzalirk Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I'm stumped on something guys and hopefully you guys can help me out. Okay, so, I want to build a ship but I don't want to buy a set that has one. If I buy parts for the hull of the ship, like this and this, what do I need to add or cover up the part that is the "gap" and what would I need to make say a captain's quarters? I also need to know this for some Steampunk things I plan to build. And since I'm asking about parts, maybe anyone can recognize the tracks from this image? Same applies to this image and this image.

BrickCurve Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 @Goliath The tracks on #1 are from a city bulldozer of some description, #2 is from the star wars hail-fire droid, and #3 is from the indiana jones jungle cutter. Hope this helps. Quote

Have you looked up instructions for the TLG pirate ships that use those parts? http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/scans/6286-1/?ct=1 Looks like LEGO uses inverted slopes if I understand your question. Also, for general shipbuilding advise, the pirate forum here is probably the best place. Quote

gedren_y Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I had an idea yesterday that found its way into bricks today. Since the destruction of my Nestlands Embassy in Nocturnus, I haven't had much motivation to build, but today I actually got some work done on the redesign. I may do a small build for Quest for the Egg Part Two that will be more story, as the current design for that build has stalled. I also have the base for my Nestlands Embassy in Mitgardia waiting to be fleshed out. I'm still deciding the particulars for that build. Quote
TheUtilityBelt Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 New build from me, guys and gals! Quest for Family Quote
BrickCurve Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I bought lifelites! Edited January 25, 2015 by BrickCurve Quote
NiceMarmot Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I bought lifelites! Very illuminating ! Been meaning to buy some lighting. What do you think? Easy to use? Well-constructed? Quote
BrickCurve Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Very illuminating ! Been meaning to buy some lighting. What do you think? Easy to use? Well-constructed? Reasonably well made, I bought the AAA powered one hence the fact that I can't quite fit the battery box under the waterfall. The battery box dimensions are roughly 7 studs by 3 1/2. Theres also the chip which you connect the LEDs to. I would probably recommend this one (http://lifelites.com/products/110) if you dont need more than 4 light connection points, and dont mind using button batteries.Edit: I got these ones http://lifelites.com...products/132��.

gedren_y Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I got some major work done on my Nestlands Embassy in Nocturnus. The outer wall is nearly complete. I have a corner tower mostly done. I still need to finish the bedrock, as well as the outer and inner facades of the wall. When that's finalized, I will be able to apply it to the baseplates and finish the courtyard layout. My ideas seem to have snowballed again. I am looking at a 64x64 corner of the actual embassy to be represented. Quote

SkaForHire Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Which reminds me, if anyone has time to do a quick, somewhat minimalist, 16x16 - 32x32 scene in the next two weeks, let me know. I might not have time to finish every plot MOC that I was planning. group by skaforhire, on Flickr Edited January 29, 2015 by SkaForHire Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I got time! ... I think. At least, I can make time! Quote
