While looking at this http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=126969 (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=126969) I found this:
(http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Big-X/GTB-Zeus/100_0544.jpg)
Here is the link. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=136390 (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=136390)
Did someone from here build that?
-
who ever made that page misspelled gtf hercules
-
Looks very nice, although I think he meant to refer to the Herc II instead of the Zeus.
[edit] Ah, that's the same guy who made the Polymorphon ship at the last Brickfest event. That still has the best interior I've seen on any Lego spacecraft. I doubt he's from around here though.
The fact that he mentions FS2 there might actually gives us a bit of extra publicity, as his stuff is quite well known.
-
That's quite impressive, as is most everything on that website.
-
I want him build a Collie. With all the internal corridors like that carrier, obviously ;)
-
I remember someone doing the Valkyrie, too.
-
The Valk was done by an HLPer IIRC.

Legos are cool and I'm about 23 and don't play with them and my life is hell i think it has to do with legos and those small sharp parts which you step on god damnit
-
my parents took my lego away when I was 13. Too old for it, they'd say..... :sigh:
-
I'm half way to 21 and I still bust out the legos from time to time. They're fantastic fun. :nod:
-
You can't be too old for it. :D I am 20 and, as most of you probably know, a Lego fanboy (got my 300th set last week :p). I have a few projects currently in progress (just finished adding motorized stabilizers to this thing (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=188937) a few days ago) and am planning to start another one when my Bricklink parts order arrives.

I have some bricks strewn about my bedroom floor but somehow manage to avoid them even in the dark. :D
-
I think I was 20 when I played with me blocks the last time. But there's only so much you can do with my old blocks, I can't be arsed to buy new ones because I spend my money on this new toy of mine. It's called compootar. I have an internet on it.
-
I'm probably one of the only people who's never once built anything creative with Lego bricks. Don't get me wrong; I probably have a hundred thousand bricks all told, but the vast majority of those are in the form of completed models, all built exactly to instruction specifications, gathering dust in my room back home. If I bought a car, I wanted to build/play with that car, and that was that. :p
-
All my models were disassembled pretty soon. And I either ate or lost the instructions. And every time I used one of the special parts to create something cool and awesome and heavily armed that would lay waste to an army of miniature soldiers only to be blown to bits by the last living grenadier, I would think with fondness of the old useless model from which the part came from. :blah:
-
I too build Lego only following instruction. After all, why should I dismantle that giant TIE Interceptor to build other models, when I spent 2 days building it?

I made this one two months ago. ;7
-
Is that an Eclipse?
-
It isn't easy from this angle. :wtf:
But Eclipse would be my guess also. Mainly becasue I've got nothing until I read Snails response... :nervous:
-
Thats really cool! Now why dont someone makes more of those? A lego Deimos or Sobek would be incredible.
-
I don't recognize it, although I probably wouldn't unless it was from the FS universe. :p

Are you talking about the 7181? I found that a relatively quick build for its size, maybe three or four hours. :p I still have mine built but will be scrapping it for parts soon. I have several potential uses for the 28 black 8x3 wings.
And I either ate or lost the instructions.
:lol:
-
Everything that I make always has a mis-matched color scheme. Or at the very least, a very strange color, like bright blue, or yellow. (All the stuff I make from scratch, that is)
I have this neat motorcycle that has kinda working engines that took me a day to build with instructions.
-
I used to make stuff like that when I was younger. You have to compromise somewhere on a limited parts selection. These days, if I don't have just the piece I need, I go off to Bricklink and get it.

Which one is it? 8838, 8422, 8417 and 8420 are the ones I can think of.

I can't find the box now, but searching on the net I found it. Mine is from the Ultimate Collector Series, but it doesn't have any silver bricks, like the boxes I found on the net... it has blue bricks instead of them.
Tomorrow I'll look for the box and tell you which model is it.
BTW, I took a lot of time to build that model because I started in on Christmas, but you know, with cousins willing to destroy your bedroom it's difficult to build something...

8420

I want to find a decent Technic car, something like a Lotus 7, but all I've found are the Ferrari racers, and that's not exactly what I had in mind.
-
That Herc is pretty freaking awesome...

Yes, that's the one I was referring to. It just looks silver in the pictures. Mine is sitting on one of my computers since I don't have any other place for it in my room. :p
8420
That one is the newest and largest of the four. It looks pretty sleek and comes with a cool adjustable shock absorber, although I passed it up since I have two of the older ones.

I'm not sure what that particular car looks like, but you may find something among the older models. This site (http://www.hccamsterdam.nl/brickfactory/setlist/index.htm) has instruction scans for almost everything older than a year or two; look under the 8000 set numbers for the Technic stuff. Of course, if it doesn't exist, just make your own. :D

Yeah, it just needs the tail thing on the bottom and the 02 and it would be a perfect rendition.

on a similar note, I bet this would make a good project
