I second that. Zamor spheres are large, heavy, and pack quite a punch from the
launchers being squeezed together.

I'm looking at how it's put together in book 1 page 21 for set 76103.
Looks like you press it down and the resistance against the floor builds up
pressure? This might do the trick.

Nope. You use two of them together to hold a Zamor sphere, and then squeeze the
two of them together to launch the Zamor sphere. It packs a punch.

See how they are used for the tail of the large insect build in this set:

70702-1 (Inv) Warp Stinger
290 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2013

There is also this one that is used in other sets:

Of course now that I just said that I have an idea for a lego trebuchet. LOL!

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.

These have some velocity but still don't have a lot of kinetic energy.

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?

looks like
it's mounted to an 1800's style rolling cannon, and that projectile coming
out of it looks like the inspiration for the knock off projectile I saw. I think
my local Kroger has this set in stock. I'll try to grab a copy and try it
out. Thanks!

The dirty part i can't comment on. In the photo all i see is a bit of cardboard
dust which is perfectly normal on parts that come loose in a set. You just blow
it away. I have never seen a 'dirty' part in all my years using Lego.
Though you never know.

The scuff marks on the aircraft fuselage, whilst i can't see them in the
photo, are normal too. Black is the one of the worst offenders, and black parts
with large smooth areas even worse again. Between manufacturing, processing
and packaging, parts are constantly banging together causing this. I have had
to sell many a black part from a new set as a used part due to scuff marks and
scratches.

Whether it is acceptable or not is up to the individual. Lots of pros and
cons on both sides. Whilst i don't want to have scuff marks or scratches
on a windshield of a $500 set (which Lego has been trying to rectify to their
credit), a few scuff marks on a set like you have, which is a $20 set, well it
happens. The added costs to stop this happening would not be viable.

the whites are still pearly glass is still mostly clear, and the grays are not

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!

It’s a three way tie between

No, it’s “Simon”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)

It’s based on the children game: the machine lights the 4 coloured buttons in

Topic:

Designer Program

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.)

Hi and welcome

The admins moderate the designs according to these guidelines: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042355033-Studio-Gallery-submission-guidelines

Until a design is accepted, it’s “Display Only.”

For your two public designs, you clearly state you’ve copied someone else’s intellectual
property. They’ll stay Display Only.

If you have posted another design, and it has been set to Private, then check
the guidelines link above to understand why.
