if it pans out, i hope the sets prove good fodder for a modular-style hospital.i can't imagine having any normal city-style buildings in my town setup at this point
Thanks for the quick reply. Not that exciting a selection :/. There are a few things I can use more of that will be useful for that particular project at least. Was hoping for a bunch of reddish brown for another particular project for next years brickworld. (Not the airship, That's a few years out from now) I am thinking of building a smaller fully realized airship that I can show off sooner and will let me test out a bunch of techniques. Probably more on the 6 foot long or less scale.
Honestly speaking, the larger you build with lego, the harder it gets to make the creation interesting. Its one of the reasons I am so proud of my orthanc. The larger you build something, the more likely it starts to look flat and the harder you have to work to make it pop. I am starting to feel that my airship project should actually be scaled down. Not because I cant do it huge but because the artist in me is telling me the airship does not want to be as big as originally planned and that it can accomplish everything and much more being smaller.
Sorry, I just had a stream of conscious moment while replying about pab..........

I can't imagine that happening. Unless they do something like Power Rangers (is it called sentai or something?) where it's redone every few years and have new cast of characters.
Instead they just chase them down with handcuffs.
LEGO CITY police force must be pretty fit with all that running.

Man I would love one or two of those.My apologies to the purists, you may want to look awayMy custom crossing made from two straight sections. It only took half an hour to make:
For the record, it never even occurred to me to modify anything other than track, but track seemed fair game!
While I had the phone camera out, some quick photos of the latest work in progress on our layout We really need to paint over the hideous green walls with a nice sky colour....
The space next to the fire station is ready for Assembly Square. We need to order some more 1x6 light grey tiles to finish off the edges of the train track along the front of the city and the suburbs/river estuary/park area need serious work still!

Nice setup, but it is sorely lacking criminals.

Great set up! How do you have the modulars positioned on top of the road base plates? Anything special, or are they just sitting there?

I don't believe they have something like that. Seems like each print has a unique design number. I resorted to knowing what sets they are in and checking by set number. Very tedious. If you figure something out, let us know.
Oh, using Bricklink and Brickset will help a lot too. You can view heads there much easier then figure out what sets they are in.
There is generic head without print, 3626.

Cats love Lego. TLG really should start making sets specifically for cats.

Does anybody have anything bad to say about Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle ?
Also is there a chance Sandcrawler will get discounted on S@H before they run out?

I don't care too much about the characters and the set is too big to fit in my current layout. But it's an excellent display for any superhero figures.
Building it now and there are a bunch of stickers.
I would swear I used the number about half a year ago and that I got it from here (last thread probably). Should have saved it. Now looked everywhere, Eurobricks, Brickpicker, Gaf+google, but I can not find it anywhere. Would be odd if they only had it for bodies, but not heads.

Now, THIS is what i want to know as well, as someone who is currently planning a similar setup. Road base plates would for sure be the MUCH easier way to go for me, as opposed to manual road building. Then there's the issue of raised sidewalks of course...
Made some progress on the park, got the decorations (textures across into Unity for the Characters and got a fly cam in there so I can zoom around.

This looks great! Can you take a more wide angle shot of the whole building structure? Since losing my mantle last week I'm struggling with how to define the layout for my modulars and I'm thinking a layout like this is the way to go.
Thanks! That's still a high price for a baby & wheelchair, but it's at least more attractive.
20% off all DC/Marvel and non-Rogue One SW sets is great though. I may pull the trigger on the Resistance X-Wing and maybe the Batman Scarecrow set.
Nope.
It's probably my favorite super hero build yet (at the very least it's on par with the Quinjet 1.0 & Milano IMO, and I don't typically care for playsets). It just looks fantastic on display. I'm not even much of a Spider-man fan and I think it may be the best batch of Marvel figs in one set.

It looks good. My only suggestion would be to add some realism and having some kids playing Pokemon Go getting jacked by muggers.

Man the shell that covers K2SO's waist broke on me. It was the connector pins that snapped off. Never had this happen before with a lego product. Oh well, contacted bricks and pieces and hopefully I'll get a replacement part soon.

Didn't notice the giant chess set. That is brilliant. Can't figure out the piece for rook.

This is the only DC film I have any kind of faith in right now. At least CW is there to give me a DC fix.

I posted this in the Dimensions thread but at Best Buy I was able to get
Slimer Fun Pack, Jake & LSP Team Pack, Atari Level Pack, Finn Level Pack, and Ghostbusters Story Pack for $64 with their Gamers Club Unlocked deal that's going from the 3rd to the 5th.
Fun Packs are $4.99
Team Packs are $9.99
Level Packs are $11.99
Story Packs are $19.99
You can get the entire Wave 6 for well under $100. The savings are mental.

yeah one of these
That piece is probably the most exciting of the new stuff this past year. It has been so handy in MOCs to pull off some weird stuff.

This is fantastic work, ww. Would it be an idea to rotate the pieces on the chessboard so the player sitting on the bench is behind them?

I did originally have them parallel to the board pieces to begin with but decided to rotate it, more for visual reasons though as it looked a bit crowded in front of the chair. That's the biggest issue I have had with this entire MOC is fitting as much detail as I can into the 32x32 baseplate

Perhaps spread the pieces out a bit like a game is progress. Some defeated pieces sitting out the board.
Are you planning to submit it to IDEAS?

I accidentally found out today my wife bought me the castle for Christmas (sadly not last week with double VIP points). She used my VIP account, and I noticed the points change when I logged into S@H.
On one hand, I'm spoiled.
On the other hand, CASTLE!!! and points!

Not Lego but amazon has the Mega Bloks Enterprise for 40% off ($150). I've been waiting for a good deal on this set. It's time to bite.

Damn, how i wish Lego would get this license....
I'd be ALL over those sets in a heartbeat, no questions asked!!!
They are positioned next to the roads, the pavements have been extended out to cover the studs at the sides of the road.

So you just removed the curb parts and put plates next to each other, putting the curbs on the road plate pieces? Some minor modification, but so simple in execution. I absolutely love that idea.
I never noticed the extended curbs until you pointed it out. Looking at it now, it should have been obvious that that was how you achieved it. Just wonderful. Thank you.
Sure! Here's the plan my wife made to figure out the layout:
And here is a complete 360 of the room showing how it all fits together. The room is actually pretty small and also my home office so we had to work out how it was all going to fit around me having a proper workspace! Monitor/laptop riser means we have a nice area for a train yard
Sorry about the mess - this is still very much a work in progress and we plan to redecorate the room, replace the curtains with blinds and generally tidy the place up if we eventually get something even approaching a free weekend!
And if you were wondering how the train makes it over the gap where the door is.... removable bridge!
