Hey,

I recently put together the set mentioned in the subject and had the idea to
add an internal motor to try and make the car motorized. Wondering if anyone
has attempted this before I go at it blind.

My initial thought is that it shouldn't be too complicated. The differential
is easily accessed through the removable engine cover. There might be a big enough
gap in there for me to place a small motor in there. Need to take another look
at the front tires to see where I could set one up for them.

Any ideas or tips on how to get started would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm new here and was just wondering if there are people on this forum who
would design a lego set for a fee?

If so please sent me a private message.

Hi,

I think that there are many who, like me, want to build 40703 and/or 40704 with
their existing items.

Therefore I've created created customised instructions for 40703 and 40704
and posted them online here: https://bricksto.build

The instructions roughly follow the same sequence as the original instructions.

40703 - Micro Ninjago City
40704 - Micro Ninjago Docks

I also plan to create 40705 and 40706 as soon as they are released.

Happy building!

Hi there,

I am wanting to create a striped pole that would be used in a Christmas build
as a "North Pole". I wanted to create the stripes angled rather than
straight and then possibly put a light brick in the top surrounded by transparent/translucent
blue bricks. However, I am struggling to create the stripes in a cube.

Can anyone recommend the best way to do this, or suggest which brick number(s)
I could use?

Many thanks!

Does anyone know where to get digital copies of the instructions from the original
AFOL Designer program?? I have enough parts to build 2 of them, but cannot
find instructions. Thanks.

We're mostly a castle system household when it comes to what the kids and
I build. The whole reason I even started parting out sets was to pillage parts
for us and sell the rest to offset everything. Concurrently, a game from my
childhood popped up on kickstarter and I ponied up for the super mega deluxe
version of Crossbows and Catapults. As we're patiently waiting for it's
delivery we've been adapting our LEGO play to incorporate break away walls
to knock down, but it's proving difficult because nothing has enough "oomph"
to knock things down.

This is way to weak with very short range.
 
Part No: x110c01  Name: Projectile Launcher, Cannon Shooting
* 
x110c01 Projectile Launcher, Cannon Shooting
Parts: Projectile Launcher {Pearl Dark Gray}

These have some velocity but still don't have a lot of kinetic energy.
 
Part No: 15303  Name: Projectile Arrow, Bar 8L with Round End (Spring Shooter Dart)
* 
15303 Projectile Arrow, Bar 8L with Round End (Spring Shooter Dart)
Parts: Projectile Launcher {Trans-Orange}

I never knew about this until this weekend, but I saw some knockoffs with a rubber
tip. Is it powerful enough to knock over a few bricks from 4-5 feet away?

Just opened the box on set 60430 and there are the two normal loose parts, but
they where both damaged and dirty

If I sold that new to a customer I would be in trouble, (the scuffs on the one
part are super obvious in real life) not good.

It is very difficult to track this guy down! Absolute gem of my collection is
the 1978 621 LEGO police car! it's complete and in near perfect condition
the whites are still pearly glass is still mostly clear, and the grays are not
yellowed, the stickers have seen better days, but the police man is superb. it
still has all it's instructions! this is also a special set since it was
one of the first lego sets to feature the modern day minifigure. It costed me
50-60 dollars to obtain. the only downside is that the 1x1 siren piece probably
isn't era accurate since it doesn't have a stopper at the end of the
stud. I also have a galaxy explorer and the 585 police station. post your gems
bellow!

So, I am hoping to submit 2 design into BDP Series 5, and I have a question about
rendering. What typically captures more views, a rendering using the default
"building" light domain or using an HDRI image?

I may be getting too deep into changing out HDRI files in the render folder and
stylizing the renderings. (I like rendering and creating scenes because it is
almost like I am playing with the set). Is the preference to keep the renderings
simple? For example, which rendered image below is better for model presentation?

(The one with the orange hint is using the default "building" light domain
while the one with the blacker blacks and shinier bricks is a homebrew.)

Hello

I am looking for instructions to build a LEGO Rover 25.

I don't think that Lego have ever produced anything like this, the closest
I can find is the Land Rover, and I've been on a search engine hunt for any
MOCs and haven't found anything (and keep getting results for Space Rovers).

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I have had a play with the
Studio, but I'm finding it a bit out of my skills set.

Thank you
