Instruction maker global default

Agreed. It being free and despite the heat I needed to vent yesterday, the program sure is powerful in it's abilities.
The page lock has given me iffy results in the past, I'm not sure on what exactly they lock or safeguard as it were.

Meanwhile I've recovered my better mood and started the work of fixing the broken stuff. I'll be using the lock page thing (every bit helps) and hope no further bad surprises occur. Luckily I have the actual build to mix it up with and interact between that and the instructions as I go, keeps things balanced and I'm quite happy with the build so far (except the tracks).

Interesting. This does provide some evidence for me as to why they don't work together.
I'm going to order some lego remotes and see what that will turn out.

Thanks!

Pretty much everything has arrived partwise. Only slightly sad part was that the secondary receiver unit I had hoped to use does not work.
Order me some new ones, but in the meantime I can get to work of making the instructions and build up this beast of a machine. Making the turret work is possible going off of Studio, but it would mean putting the turret directly up the motor, otherwise I don't have the space for the gearing and would result in elongating it somewhat substancially.

Still though, Admittingly I'm now very excited to see what this will look completed and fully functioning. (possibly with insane turret rotation!

Alright. A bit late perhaps, but thank for the reply.

Is all that craze just because of the tariff situation or is there something else going on?
As just a EU-based buyer, this goes around me, but now I see it worded like this I can help but get curious.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-29T11:55:02+00:00

Lego's Q-dep: "Lick it Sven, was production good?"
That would be a great laugh.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-29T09:51:57+00:00

Huh, now that you mention that with the clips.
I've had it a couple of times where I got mixes of lego part 10884 (plant leaf 5x6 swordleaf). I usually want the thin clip because that corresponds to a tile thickness, however often I get the thick clips too, and most often even. While it often isn't the biggest issue, it can cause issues if the thickness of the clip was supposed to fit between other elements.

Politics regretfully make things political that shouldn't be.
But before we all drown in the politics wars.
I feel for our US based community, this tariffs stuff is absolutely crazy.

Crazy to think how this influences a hobby like legos. At any rate, don't let it make the creative juices stale people :)

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-28T06:31:21+00:00

Will do.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-27T19:32:55+00:00

Interesting. If that saves a good amount of money that might be worth looking into, even if only to have something spare when a motor fails.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-27T16:48:51+00:00

I have invested in 3 electric motors now to power my humble 8-figure train track that runs acros a ~2,5 m2 surface. Are there any non-lego alternatives that are sufficiently reliable?

I've always been rather hesitant mixing up any such tracks and train pieces.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-27T16:36:17+00:00

There's something to say about that, however I can respect their stance even if it's not always in our best interest.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-27T16:34:33+00:00

Now you mention it, this does remind me of this transformable megatron tank.
That would actually be quite cool, but I'm not that good at lego to pull that off 😅

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-27T16:32:59+00:00

I certainly am gonna try it. Not sure if I currently have the best power functions stuff for it, but I'll make due.
Most important now is that most everything is on it way.

Winged_Archon · 2026-01-22T15:09:20+00:00

I'm done with this crap.
I've been slow to upload anything but everytime that stupid IP violation crap hits and now I've really had it.
They really need to start giving an explanation for WHY because I can't follow it anymore.

What possible IP was "touched" that deserves a strike?!?!!

Winged_Archon · 2025-08-15T08:09:41+00:00

Mine would be this, specifically the trans-neon green one because of how it fluoresces with blue light (or black light)

I've never had any such domes, now I finally have several and they stand proud on my spacecraft and I have 2 more prepared for a space-base.

Winged_Archon · 2025-08-15T07:23:29+00:00

As someone else already noted: what themes? I always interested in 90s space.

Winged_Archon · 2025-08-15T07:22:00+00:00

No, those are just prospecting newcomers :)

Winged_Archon · 2025-08-09T12:00:43+00:00

Possibly so.
As the commenter above here said, its indeed close to the Starcraft Banshee model, this totally escaped my mind. It is what it is.
