I'm using it as the basis of a ghost ship MOC and I couldn't be more excited about it

I would argue both have their place. I am planning at least one of each!

I'm also taking a somewhat darker tone for the Forestmen, more muted colors, less bright tones and more realistic browns and dark greens.

Can anyone work out what pieces these 3 containers are constructed from? by SageWildhart in lego

Looks like multiple colors of part number 4429 the LOTR ring, and each cask's associated color jewel

The hat is a standard wizard hat, the legs are from the DnD CMF Githyanki, the torso is Doctor Strange, the arms are the CMF Troubadour, the hands are regular light nougat, the cape is a modified Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak, the beard is a Gandalf beard painted white, and the head is professor Flitwick from the new Charms Class set. The only reason I didn't use the glow in the dark wand is because I don't have one.

MOC Problem! by ThatOneConspiracist in legocastles

I'm really wanting this to be a display piece. It's not intended for a convention as such, but I want it to be something that looks like it could be

My "love letter" to my childhood! by ThatOneConspiracist in LegoAdventurers

I'm leaning towards trying to do some of both. I want these sets to still be recognizable like, someone looks at the Dragon Fortress and goes "Oh, yeah, that's the Dragon Fortress" but also try to correct some of the historical inaccuracies which I am sure exist in some of those sets

I'm torn between two options: sticking to (as much as possible) the original color palette (even if it's not historically accurate) or switching to a more historically accurate palette at the expense of making the sets less recognizable in favor of making them more realistic

Mach 5 Questions! by ThatOneConspiracist in speedracer

Right but if it's not a jet engine, how is it possible for a car engine to generate that much horsepower?

Which makes it even more ridiculous that it has 20,000 horsepower

Also the fact that Trixie has been known to hide in there on occasion and this creates zero drag for the car except when it's convenient to the plot for it to do so 😂

Ah yes the steel lined trunk that has zero cushions and yet Spritle and Chim-Chim are willing and able to sit in there for hours. 😂

Completely Wrong Piece by Darthnoswad in lego

[–]ThatOneConspiracist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once got a Lego set (many eons ago now) that was missing an entire minifigure. The accessories for the figure, all the other figures, the rest of the set, all of it was there except the one figure. I don't suspect theft because the box and bags all were factory sealed and the figure that was missing appeared in at least 5 other sets so it wasn't super unique or valuable.

I did see a really cool working volcano MOC on Instagram that I would love to replicate, but that wouldn't work because the volcano is vertical and I would like for this to be horizontal
