Not him, but it looks to me like the stud-stud connection you can easily get using any given Technic pin beam or connector end.

Basically you just attach two bricks to both ends of the pin connector end with a brick akin to this one. It's technically illegal due to the studs putting some stress on the pin hole, but it works as a double-jointed connection in this instance.

For Galaxy squad, the bug sets really weren't too good, but the bug minifigures were pretty awesome.

Sure. I misspoke; it's more accurately a wheeled robot, not a vehicle. I know I've posted it once before, but I never posted the full backstory.

As a kid, this was my "sigfig" who was the main character of all my adventures. His name is X-1 (super-original, but in my defense I had never heard of anything else called that before). It's a robot invented by an futuristic science organization dedicated to monitoring other timelines and realities and defending them from evil. Though it lacks hands, its antennae have tactile telekineses, so it can pick up things just like a regular minifig can.

Thanks to the immutable laws of time travel, it has to reach 88 MPH before it can travel through time. Luckily, it's so advanced that as long as it has a little big of wiggle room to move forward, it can instantly achieve the required 88 MPH. It can also fly by popping the tires partway off their wheels and angling them. It often surprised enemies who didn't realize it could fly.

There were two minifig scientists who worked for the organization, a male and a female, but I don't remember their names and don't even know if I bothered giving them names.

X-1 ended up spending a lot of time in Space Castle Dimension, because I really liked that setting.

Apparently Lego sets the regional MSRPs based on what they think the people in the country can afford, so sets in poor countries are ostensibly cheaper (in dollars) than sets elsewhere (or would be before any import tax/ bribes/ etc).

I don't know how much variation there is, but I read this info on a legitimate site.

For the anon in the last thread who was concerned about the broken sword in the Vizier's back, it was already mostly broken due to somebody bending it almost all the way off the hilt at some point in my dark age. I just finished the job to get that shot.

I keep a collection of broken parts to use them specifically for situations like "just impaled a dude". There's another pirate sword that looks like the end was held up to a fire, and the Castle sword used to be part of the Game of Electroswords throne until I knocked it off the table and that blade snapped clean off. There are some other broken pieces but they're more functional than front-and-center so they're still in with their kin until they become completely useless.

I also have a broken motorcycle handlebars that sometimes shows up in After the Brick, but I don't know where it is right now.

I didn't think it was just laptop keyboard reflection, so awesome job. Your camera might have different settings for different types of lights (tungsten, etc.) that changes the way it detects light and color. I use that a lot to do things like make gray crater baseplates look like tan sand, or make more or less contrast between the land and sky.

I have a Canon 600D, but I don't have any lenses specifically for macro so I use one that's for portraits but does great depth of field. The downside is that I have to be very far away from the subject when it's so small and I lose a lot of clarity.

As far as phones go, you're right in that there's not too much you can do. However, I would honestly say that lighting is as, if not more, important. Your chinese lightbox alone should do a great deal to make your photos look more professional, even if they're taken on a phone. Once you remove the glare (I still have trouble with this, as evidenced by the harley photo), like Lego Quest showed in an earlier thread, photos look a million times better — and that's all lighting, nothing to do with the camera.

>>5637206
I wouldn't have even been able to pick that those are grey baseplates; they honestly look like sand. I think I just need more ways to defuse light so that I don't get a great big glare in the face of my minifigure.

Thanks man, good to get some positive input.

Sad thing is my GFs brother replaced his older DSLR camera with a brand new one, new lenses and everything, and just has his old one collecting dust with all its extras. He actually offered it to her and she didnt think we needed it. Of course this was before we both got back into lego, so at the time our junky cameras and smart phones we had were good enough for cat pictures....

Believe me, I know. Was pretty pissed when she told me. Im working on her trying to get it from him, but its been a while, and she doesnt want to come off as a dick, plus hes a photo addict, so he may be using the old one as a "tosser", as in he sets it to take a bunch of pics on a timer and throws it into the air, so who knows what condition its in right now.

Photophiles have their own strangeness and oddball ways of doing things.

>Can you please give me a run-down on how you use your baffles? (Even so far as where you point the light(s))

OK, I made a diagram. The black rectangle in the center is the table that I shoot on, as seen from standing in front of it. The upper edge of the table is adjacent to a wall (which is where I put the colored backdrop pieces).

The standing lights come up higher than the table, and the baffles are wider than the bulb shades, so no direct light (not counting the little bit that gets through the cracks in the baffles) shines on the table. However, it hits all the walls and the ceiling and bounces around (diffuses) before illuminating the table.

Basically, I'm making the room brighter (and thus lighting up the minifigs more) without shining any lights directly on the table. The reason you get glare is because the bulbs are reflecting off the surface of the pieces. By increasing the ambient brightness of the room and simultaneously taking away the direct light, you illuminate the whole set more evenly. Note that the background shadows in the pic here >>5637225 are deeper in the top image where no baffles are being used and more muted in the bottom pic with a fully armed and operational baffle station.

Let me know if you want more information.

Thats part of the thrill of it apparently. We had given him an old junky point and shoot to use for that before, but he always didnt like the quality of said photos (as if that really matters when said photos are a picture of a literal blur. Filter that shit up, drop some effects on it, boom, "art".), and to be fair that P&S cameras lens was getting fucky in its old age. But yeah, even if his DSLR was 20 years old plus (which I dont think it is, I dont even think its ten years old...), thats a decent piece of kit to consign to being tossed around literally.

Having multiple hobbies is fine. Focusing on just one thing gets boring. Even the people who are really into LEGO branch into photography to showcase their stuff, or something similar.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how helpful the diagram was going to be.

In retrospect I should have used two pieces of posterboard, one white and one black, and made baffles that were two sheets thick so the white "inner" surface would reflect more light and the black outer surface would keep any light from getting through. I would suggest doing that if anybody else is going to make their own.

guys You really don't need to swear so much o.o

and yes I don't own the proper pieces yet (I have mostly from castle/pirates sets and here I see some space/technics stuff)

Even the list of pieces would be helpfull (I don't really want to make space marines figurines but some bigger creation )

ok. see this picture, it has literally 100% of what you need. according to his mocpages, it uses no weird flex tube connections or double levers. its 100% buildable in LDD. so, do that? build the visible sections then put them together. this requires a basic literacy with parts. like, do you know what the five kinds of 1x1 bricks with studs on the side are?

moc creators want to talk with equals. out of 500 people on mocpages begging to suck his dick for instructions, he replied to the three people with actual technique questions. he assumes that people understand the common build techniques and common parts
