Baseplates aren’t strong, and they can only connect on the top.
You’ll need to connect them with plates… and if you want the surface to be level,
that means using plates all over.
… Unless you use a wood board and glue the baseplates on it (and cut them to
size).
(If you go this route, beware: baseplates are too short, you need to join them
with parts to have the correct distance between them.)

| I'm guessing you are having trouble with my English, since you are misinterpreting
what was said.
No problem, I admit that I would be far worse at reading your French, since it's
been ages since I studied that language - a pity, it's a beautiful language
and there are lots of interesting things only available in French, but that's
the way things have worked out so far in my life.
The example from Series 1 was not intended to imply the modular rule was applicable
to Series 1, it was simply presented as an example of the kind of design the
modular rule might disqualify in future series - an instance of a broader category
to make a potentially abstract argument more concrete, if that helps.
It's a really good example because there was a lot of dispute over the folding
design - some people loved it, others hated it - which means there will be dispute
over whether or not it actually should be considered 'modular', and thus
whether or not any rule regarding 'modular' designs should apply.
Similar considerations apply to the example in Series 5: it's simply chosen
as an example to help illustrate a point. It's a good example of the idea
I'm trying to communicate: it's not primarily a building, but the baseplate
size and the connections to let it join up with modular buildings could create
dispute over whether or not it really should be considered 'modular'
with respect to a rule prohibiting 'modular buildings'. Where do we
draw the line?
Nothing in my previous post implies a belief in secret shenanigans - I am not
claiming that any such happened, nor am I claiming the opposite. I have no information
one way or the other so any such claim would not make sense.
Rather, the point that I was making is that it is a basic principle of practical
ethics that one must make a special effort to be open, clear, and unambiguous
in situations involving public trust where there is a possibility of doubt, or
potential for ambiguity.
This is an example of a common ethics rule found in English that 'Even the
appearance of conflict of interest must be avoided when possible'. You can
find lots of examples of this in discussions of ethics - try a quick search to
see this.
Note that when I use the word 'ethics', I am using it in the modern sense
as used in modern English, we're not talking about ancient Greek Philosophy,
but rather how to apply ideas concerning ethics in the real world, a topic that
has a wide scope of application in many domains where public trust is an issue.

Brockway Superliner. Alot of people don't know that the Mack Superliner actually
started at Brockway trucks... well just the name "Superliner" did. In
the mid 1970s Brockway was looking to modernize the 700 series, so they started
building prototype trucks and gave the new truck the name "Superliner".
Unfortunately due to labor strikes Mack closed Brockway in 1977 before the Superliner
could be put in full production. Mack had been working on a new truck for the
western market called the "RW" and after the closing of Brockway Mack
decided to use the Superliner name for the RW. This Lego model is of 1 of the
Brockway Superliner prototypes I'm also building a display for it that when
finished will look like the inside of the Brockway truck plant where the Superliner
was being developed. I have attached some photos of the some Brockway Superliner
prototypes taken in early 1977 before Brockway closed.

| | A year ago, on the internet, I found some very rare and unknown Lego sets: the
Lego Batman Movie Promotional Cubes.
I became very interested about their history.
They are cubic dioramas, similar to the Cubedude sets, with four or five Minifigures
inside and a small build representing a scene from the movie.
There are a few diferent designs and they were gifts from Warner, given out on
a few diferent occasions and promotions. The attached photos are examples these
cubes.
Despite many hours of reaserch, because of their rarety, I coudn't find much
info.
I am asking for ANY further information about these 2017 Lego Batman Movie Promo
Cubes.
Any information would be appreciated.
Including: photos of the Cubes or their original boxes or accessories,
any links mentioning these Cubes, old sales and their sale prices,
if someone actually owns one or saw one and indeed any other infomation.

I see. Thanks for letting me know. I likely won’t upgrade and I’ll try to move
it elsewhere. I’m not collecting so likely won’t build enough positive feedback
to upgrade. I just don’t want to keep this piece and understand it’s quite rare

Hi,
Someone reported the error on the dedicated forum: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?t=11397
It seems you either need to save first and re-edit, or simply try again.
You may also contact the team directly by e-mail: BDPsupport@lego.com .
BTW the submission period ended yesterday, did the team ask you to change something?

the purchase is made thru the lego website so it uses whatever payment options

Mack RD600 tractor truck.
This is so far the only truck I've built that used a cab from another truck.
The cab was on a Mack R600 flatbed crane truck originally.

Some unfinished mocs that are truly my own because none of them are models of
a specific real truck. The Brockway 761 is a tri axle that will have a B.M. Clark
bulk livestock feed body on it, the Mack R400 will have a box body and the Mack
DM800 will be a tractor truck and the Mack CL will be a tri axle dump truck.
