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

  Here's a Spongebob MOC I recently did off the top of my head. Took about
6 hrs (with Gary included!) Time lapse video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4OOtd3tZkw

It looks weird without the eyelashes.

 
Minifig No: bob001  Name: SpongeBob - Basic "I'm Ready" Look

Minifigures: SpongeBob SquarePants

Still pretty cool

Oh, I didn’t know you couldn’t edit
It’s like the Studio Gallery then

there were some complications while building it and after I got it good enough
I just left it alone.

No problem.

👏 Nice


Just two remarks on the text:
— “It weighs approximately 35” 35 what?
— “Don't comment on my build! I would love to hear anything you have to say[…]”
huh?

(The easel seems a bit high.  Ross’d need a step ladder to paint )

Thanks!!

First one I actually had to myself was

4995-1 (Inv) Cargo Copter
272 Parts, 2008
Sets: Creator: Model: Airport

I wasn't allowed new LEGO sets growing up before then because my siblings
and I didn't get along and would hoard certain parts from a bucket of late
90's sets that was donated to us. Parents responded by throwing the hoarded
parts away.

ouch! sorry : (

Does it counts if I don't remember the first(s) one(s)?

One thing's sure, I had one of those
 
Set No: 310  Name: Tug
* 
310-3 (Inv) Tug
48 Parts, 1973
Sets: Boat

or
 
Set No: 311  Name: Ferry
* 
311-1 (Inv) Ferry
85 Parts, 1973
Sets: Boat
or kind of those boats of the era...

With those big (but floating, so much fun in bath!) hulls like:
 
Part No: x145c02  Name: Boat, Hull Smooth Bow 5 x 6 x 3 1/3 with White Deck
* 
x145c02 Boat, Hull Smooth Bow 5 x 6 x 3 1/3 with White Deck
Parts: Boat {Red}



to bad we don't have those anymore.

Set No: 2160  Name: Crystal Scavenger
* 
2160-1 (Inv) Crystal Scavenger
103 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1997
Sets: Aquazone: Aquaraiders I

I bought it for myself in the fall of 1998 when I was 23 years old.

I never had a single LEGO set growing up. But don't feel bad for me. The
toys I grew up with were Transformers (had almost every single character), He-Man
and the Masters of the Universe (had almost every single character), Hasbro Star
Wars (had almost all of the original figures, vehicles, and play sets), Micro
Machines, and yes... GoBots.

oh my goodness! I love He-Man! I have nearly have all of the Motu origins figures!
and am also a huge fan of Go-Bots! this is my collection.

I think the first lego item I was given was 6007
 
Set No: 6007  Name: Bat Lord
* 
6007-1 (Inv) Bat Lord
11 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1997
Sets: Castle: Fright Knights
but the real building set was 6918
 
Set No: 6198  Name: Stingray Stormer
* 
6198-1 (Inv) Stingray Stormer
384 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 1998
Sets: Aquazone: Stingrays

My grandma gave it to me for Christmas, no idea how she decided on that specific
set, but I'm sure glad she did!

Made it through my set selloff and dark ages. Pulled it out and built it again
a couple years ago, still in great shape.

Mine are 4 duplo buckets, don't know which one I got first:

 
Set No: 2245  Name: Farmhouse Bucket
* 
2245-1 (Inv) Farmhouse Bucket
46 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1997
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

 
Set No: 2268  Name: Medium Bucket
* 
2268-1 (Inv) Medium Bucket
49 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1998
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

Strange is that this one mine is in a yellow bucket:

 
Set No: 3036  Name: Large Bucket
* 
3036-1 (Inv) Large Bucket
69 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1999
Sets: DUPLO: Basic Set

The fourth one lost all their side stickers, but was a yellow cube too.

that I had at some point because I remember some firemen that had no arms, and
this seems to be the set that would fit that bill.

First set I remember that was bought to me new was 6601-1, a small ice cream

from a toy store.

When I was a kid I played with Lego but that was back in the late 60's
early 70's when themes were not that prevalent and there wasn't much
of a variety of pieces so I just remember having Lego bricks in general and after
many years of not playing with them they just stayed in the past. Then about
15 years ago I had a friend that while being in his late 20's still loved
Lego. His appreciation of Lego would cause me to every once
in a while to stroll down the Lego isle at the local Walmart store and I eventually
decided to give Lego a try and bought this set:

 
Set No: 8098  Name: Clone Turbo Tank
* 
8098-1 (Inv) Clone Turbo Tank
1121 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars The Clone Wars

I was surprised at the tolerances used in the making of the pieces, the way doors
would pass by other pieces soo smoothly without catching on other pieces. Unlike
almost all other plastic toys, Lego seemed to care about quality. Another thing
that I really appreciated was how relaxing I found it to be to just sit down
after work and build part of a set while listening to music or watching a video.
I really enjoyed that.

I never had LEGO as a kid. The first set I ever worked on was
 
Set No: 7153  Name: Jango Fett's Slave I
* 
7153-1 (Inv) Jango Fett's Slave I
352 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2002
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 2

when I found it mostly built in a bin of loose LEGO from a rummage sale. I was
buying it for my son, but it led me to BrickLink.

The first set I bought just for myself was probably:
 
Set No: 10211  Name: Grand Emporium
* 
10211-1 (Inv) Grand Emporium
2154 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2010
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Modular Buildings Collection

them to justice! Then one day our dog got a hold of the police man and chewed
his head off.... Post your first LEGO set below!

Not sure which sets were the first that I got. Looking through the catalog there
are some sets I owned that were released in the year I was born. I guess those
were still for sale when my parents decided that I was old enough to play with
Lego. Some of my earliest memories of Lego involve sets

I don't think I had one. My childhood LEGO was second hand, we had a bucket
full of it. But no sets, instructions, or boxes. Maybe that is why I have always
enjoyed building MOCs.

4995-1 (Inv) Cargo Copter
272 Parts, 2008

I wasn't allowed new LEGO sets growing up before then because my siblings
and I didn't get along and would hoard certain parts from a bucket of late
90's sets that was donated to us. Parents responded by throwing the hoarded
parts away.

* 
2160-1 (Inv) Crystal Scavenger
103 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1997
Sets: Aquazone: Aquaraiders I

I bought it for myself in the fall of 1998 when I was 23 years old.

I never had a single LEGO set growing up. But don't feel bad for me. The
toys I grew up with were Transformers (had almost every single character), He-Man
and the Masters of the Universe (had almost every single character), Hasbro Star
Wars (had almost all of the original figures, vehicles, and play sets), Micro
Machines, and yes... GoBots.

My very first set was 6644 Road Rebel and I had to share it with my sister.
With that first set we were both addicted! Every Christmas and Birthday all
we wanted was LEGO!

  Everyone has a first LEGO set. weather it is a DUPLO train or a handmedown from
your older brother, every one has a memory of his or her first set. First LEGO
set was the 30013-1 Police Quad as a birthday present. I loved taking it apart
and putting it back together again and chasing invisible villains and bringing
them to justice! Then one day our dog got a hold of the police man and chewed
his head off.... Post your first LEGO set below!


Showing my age here, but

 
Set No: 487  Name: Space Cruiser
* 
487-1 (Inv) Space Cruiser
158 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space

Recently i purchased my nephews collective lego collection, there is 3 brothers
and there not interested in it anymore. I was unaware that a small box of Lego
that was mine as a child was mixed in with it.

So i ended up finding numerous old space pieces in there, including many decorated
parts in great condition from this original set, more than 40 years later!!

Actually my first construction toy set was some random mega blok box of random
part we got second hand.

But my first set was,
 
Set No: 31005  Name: Construction Hauler
* 
31005-1 (Inv) Construction Hauler
256 Parts, 2013
Sets: Creator: Model: Traffic

And I was blown away with the parts used and the quality!

  Hi, thank you for your reply.
I have thoroughly checked everything again, and I was on the edge of going crazy
when I realised what was the mistake I made and where.
I tried over and over again and for like the 100th time I saw that until now
I always moved the minifigure's arms by releasing the torsos first. And THIS
is a mistake . Once I released the torso all the parts included in it appeared
on the right side list as unavailable within the given palette. Meanwhile if
I move them without releasing them first they will be OK. So all my issues originated
from this.

Indeed, it’s better to use the Posing tool for the minifigs (and the 1x4 plate
hinge…): https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/6502749986967-Posing-minifigs-and-other-special-parts


  As for the LEGO News, now that must have been some sort of glitch or similar,
as once I deleted the part completely and re-added it from the list it was fine.

Maybe you had it in the wrong colour? (It can be easy to recolour a part.)


  So now I am error free and cannot wait the middle of May!

Happy to help

  Hi everyone,

Hi,


  I was trying to find some information on this, but I wasn't able to find
anything, hence my question.

There’s more info on the dedicated forum: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewforum.php?f=13


  So I am preparing my first submission for the next round of the BLDP, and I am
aware that I should use the most recent palette (5).

Yes.


  My question is that as there are no printed parts in this palette (eg. the Lego
News 2x2 tile),

There ARE printed parts, and the 2x2 “The LEGO News” newspaper is in it.


  [… missing torsos …]

A lot of decorated torsos are there too.


   I have 'Decorated Bricks On',

Are you sure?
https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/8117942037911-Missing-parts


   but still, even if I choose
a torso from there it is listed as unavailable within the selected palette once
inserted.

Which torsos exactly?

Also, don’t confuse “marked as unvailable within the selected palette” and the
yellow “!” / “unaivalable on BL.”
I haven’t checked all the torsos but it sometimes happens that some parts are
in the BDP palette but not “known” = not in an inventory on BrickLink yet = without
colours or prices.
