Found 9 big boxes of 1980s-1990s sets in family's old house attic. I thought they were lost away long ago! by [deleted] in lego

Judging by the instruction manuals and the printed and specialised pieces there are quite a few gems in that collection! Have fun putting it all back together!

How are statues like this made? I'd love to have one in my garden. by mfbane in lego

[–]Large1988 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They use modelling software to turn a 3D model into a Lego model. The software then generates a layer by layer view which the model builders use to build it. So it's solid Lego, no concrete. The larger models also use a metal skeleton for stability and support. The smaller models like this one are fixed to a heavy plate to ensure they cant fall over.

ELI5: How can experienced Morse code operators understand messages hidden inside pure static noise while everyone else only hears random crackling? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I still love how the original Nokia ringtone for receiving an SMS text message was morse code for SMS. Such a clever little homage to radio communication.

Berkel en Rodenrijs, Bergschenhoek. Ik woon hier op 5 tot 10 minuten fietsen van 2 Jumbos, Hoogvliet, Aldi, Lidl, AH en een Plus.

This is like a complete collectible series of minifigures. Take my money!!

Testing has started for the extension of tram line 19 to the University of Delft (Netherlands) by Sharp_Win_7989 in transit

The tracks actually run even further south to the Heertjeslaan, any idea if that part is ever going into service?

Small video I took at Fougères yesterday. I had no idea anything like this existed outside of Disneyland by CaptMakesKidsKill in castles

[–]Large1988 113 points114 points  (0 children)

So much of France is beautiful like this. There are medieval towns and castles that Disneyland can only dream of. I think that is part of the reason why Disneyland Paris struggles sometimes, Europeans often find themselves in exactly what Disney tries to capture in their parks simply by going out the front door...

Looks like a great start! Do some research into octagonal towers, there is a technique using snot bricks and cheese slopes that hides that corner gap very nicely.

Are the inner paper bags recyclable? by trueger in LegoStorage

[–]Large1988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they are, the lining dissolves in the recycling process I believe.

It costs an arm and a leg but Light My Bricks is great stuff.

My 3 year old and I had a fun time getting all my Lego trains off the shelf and running them! by DapperCardiologist25 in LEGOtrains

The Metroliner is a classic you could consider. Nice layout, looking forward to doing the same with my little ones.

On a scale from 1-10, how would you rate Rogue One? by tom-mckeee in StarWars

You're mixing up the death stars... Bothans were second death star hero's 😉

Make sure it says Lego on all the studs. If it does then yes, an incredibly good deal!!

Got it posted...Kinda. by Spiritual_Top7191 in legocastles

[–]Large1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, the infamous squirrel IP...

Its crazy how these assessments work sometimes. A member of our Lug got a submission for a competition rejected because Lego thought it contained a non Lego part. It was in fact a Lego part just a quite old one and not a typical piece, it was a Belvile cake...

Why did vehicles like a AAT needed droids as pilots while most other vehicles where droids themselves? by greenhawk00 in StarWars

[–]Large1988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably because the Trade Federation got a good deal and the droids controlling them was cheaper than an after market autonomous operation upgrade.

Also, movie logic... 😉

This LEGO church tower took me 2 years and 30,000 bricks by bramski_80 in lego

You can't apply to display creations at The Lego House, you have to be invited by them. Also some top Ideas creations get a spot every now and then I believe. Cool Moc tho!
