breakdown of the U S P S truck I posted last thread. Most of it is obvious from the completed model. The nose is a bit of a clusterfuck because I needed a .5 plate vertical offset to match the slopes
>>5737893
> EXPERIMENT
Try things! You can do this with actual parts or in LDD, either is fine.
> COPY, CHEAT, N' STEAL
Learn like an artist: from the pros! This doesn't mean completely imitating what they do, this means looking at what they do, analyzing it, -understanding- what's being done, and then making use of this knowledge in one's own work. Don't trace, draw!
Also see "reverse engineering", that is, trying to imitate a build as closely as possible to gain the aforementioned understanding of the techniques used in its construction.
> WING IT
Who cares? Go wild like TLG wants you to.
>>5737900
Pretty great, anon. Ingenious use of the backpacks to get the slopes to line up perfect.
>>5737893
There's links to helpful websites in the googledocs in the op.
Practice techniques that you arent familiar with.
Learn the measurements of the bricks.
Reverse-engineer other peoples work.
>>5737911
I pity you.
Now sell someone your bricks.
>>5737916
n-no
>>5737911
What do you mean you tried all that? Those exercises aren't something you try once then decide it's not worth the time any more. You won't become a master builder overnight and if you're not willing to put in the effort then you deserve to forever wallow in your self-pity and mediocrity.
>>5737916
Is that a reason people sell their bricks? They're not creative enough?
Is that what they actually mean when they write "need more space" or "the wife is upset"?
>>5737935
"I need more space[ for other hobbies I'm good at]."
"The wife is upset[ that I can't satisfy her building needs]."
>>5737924
>guys, should I quit :(
>if you're gonna then give someone that plastic crack
>noooo ;_;
Now lookahere. I posted >>5737916 because if you're not gonna try then you deserve to lose it all, but >>5737927 is right in his assessment. Exercises, both with building and drawing, aren't things you try once and then drop, and similarly they aren't things you stop doing. You practice and acknowledge your mistakes, and you study and learn. If you're gonna say "I tried and failed" then the answer to your question will obviously be to give your bricks to someone who can make use of them.
Same deal with drawing. You hate what you make? Welcome to the club. This shit is common.
>>5737936
>"The wife is upset[ that I can't satisfy her building needs]."

so ive been working on this cute robot
input?
>>5737938
goddamn, you lego folks are harsh
i guess i'll keep trying to recapture the magic
>>5737952
In its current form it couldn't stand, but that's okay.
Head is the only thing I'd try and change.
I'm also not totally sure why those clip parts on her torso are asymmetric, nor if they exist in those colors. Were you that guy who was working on a, uh, bulkier female robot a little while ago?
>>5737961
>bulkier
Did you say thick?
>>5737954
Nah it's likely just me lashing out over my obvious powerlessness IRL or something.
However, it is how I genuinely feel about workin' on stuff. If you really, sincerely feel like you're not able to do anything, why're you asking if you can't do anything?
>>5737963
Actually? Yeah.
>>5737961
>>5737963
>>5737973
You mean this one? Current WIP
Also, asymmetric because it looks cool i guess?
>>5737990
Nice, you managed to overcome those problems you'd had earlier.
How'll you do the head? With that layout I'd think using a tooth piece like some guys like to could do.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=328058
>>5738000
Yeah! I like it a lot better now actually. The head's still super WIP, but I'll get there. Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out
First haul of Lego ever
I really like the pen holder considering I got a shitload of them
Especially the creator sets
>>5738010
Sorry forgot one
>>5738005
Idea- give her some oversize pigtails with bows, those "ears" are begging for it.
If you need an alternative, a cheese slope with appropriate "hair" could do. The head you have now could also be very receptive to a medley of the 1x2 roof slopes, which'd make slightly bigger faces, but faces nonetheless.
>>5738014
Was going to try a bob-cut, but I'll see if u can make pigtail addons. I'm really not sure what to do for eyes. Single eye, or two, or a visor of some sort?
>>5738019
If i can* sorry, on mobile
>>5738019
Most of the time when people go for the tooth piece they treat it like it's the entirety of the face, with the stud being covered by the hair.
Most of the time I don't worry about eyes, simple or eyeless faces are enough. Alternatively, you could go for a Letranger Absurde type face which would immediately be recognizable and still have features, but that'd be a tad harder to integrate with your current neck assembly.
>>5737874

Seriously? Fuck I wanted that one. I got the tiny RV and I really like it, as well as campers in general.
>>5738148
Well now I can consider it. It's not like I wasn't already buying semi-expensive stuff anyway.
;_;
>>5738132
>tfw only camper I have is the latest City one with the blue minivan
I'd kill for the RV they had out a few years ago. Not a huge fan of the massive Class A type in the Creator set and it's goddamn huge compared to other vehicles.
I got he Palace Cinema today.
Should I build it, or wait for it to retire and flip it for a profit?

Do you like Lego, or do you like money?

>>5738168
Today I sold an elderly couple $2100 worth of Lego.
I hope I'm that cool when I'm old.
>>5738168
I got rid of all my legos when I was a teenager and just recently got back into them. I miss my skeletons a lot. Pharaoh skeleton was the best.
This wasn't made for the thread challenge; it's just something I've been playing with lately. The rest of it has been ready for a while but the bridal bottom just came in with my last cracklink order. I'll probably use a more polished version at some point, but not before the end of June.

Why would you do that?

I was a fool. A fool just about every Johnny Thunder adventure set. Now all I have is a cute little camper and car.
>>5737891
Glad to see my lego memes continue on.
>>5737936
>>5737941
>>5738238
Campers are okay too. I like campers.
I only just got back into the bricks myself and most of what I've bought so far has been plain ol' City vehicles to combine with my handful of old parts I have on hand and lack of space/tripod, because vehicles are the #1 thing I've always built out of Lego and holy cow I would have killed to have most of these pieces back when I was a kid. Trans-brown 6x3 windshields? My dick has never been harder.
Would have liked to have gotten back in a bit earlier to get the snow plow and camper van, but hey, better late than never, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UII0NFypAI
After watching vid related I had to build pic related.
New guy here. I've been outta the Lego loop since...the last wave of Johnny Thunder stuff in China.
What's a good way to get back into building? Recommended sets? Places to buy besides that bricklink site?
Also, any good sets with monsters/dinosaurs/ect? Stuff like that is my favorite, besides Johnny, but that stuff is over sadly.
>>5738397
aliexpress.com
>>5738397
I'm a big fan of Mixels for getting back into things. Cheap sets with lots of potential. Grab all three in a tribe and build something!
Also, look for clearance stuff. Half of my big sets are bought for less than retail. Love it.
>>5738400
If you want off-brand, yes. White Text Logo Enlighten has some good stuff like Pirates or Sunset. Avoid Sluban.
For official Lego, Mixels, perhaps?

There is no reason to ever use dark grey
>>5738520
100% imagination. no idea what this thing will end up like

Sometimes, that's the best way to build. Pure stream-of-consciousness stuff.
>>5738506

>>5738487
>steel battalion.jpg
>>5738535
Every dark gray piece also comes in light gray or black, so you never need dark gray.
>>5738547
That's a pretty shit reason not to use parts of a particular colour.

I think Bandai re-re-re-released the old 1/550, you gould grab one of those if throwing one together from bricks proves to be too much.
>>5738563
Ah jeez. Rest in peace.
>>5738600
I have Audi R18 e-tron quattro and 458 Italia GT2, which I love.
Granted, those two have the most stickers out of the medium-sized sets, but I just like the way the cars themselves look.
>>5738620
Clearly it's landing platform should be made of a multitude of leg-like supports that it sets down on.
Has anyone actually managed to build a legitimate (as in not crappy bootleg) army of clones in a single era of lego? I only ask because looking at my mishmash of clone troopers from different lines which are all a little different is threatening to trigger my autism.
>>5738688
Are you asking which style of Clone Trooper has been most abundant in sets?
>>5738691
I guess so, but also does anyone have tips on how to unify them?
I've been swapping torsos, so the clone wars ones have the old phase 3 chests, and generally been avoiding using the phase 3 helmets, but after recently picking up the LAAT/i microfighter with the new helmet print clone pilot I can't help but feel that now my 2 LAAT/i pilots don't match...
>>5738697
>the LAAT/i microfighter with the new helmet print
This one, right? Apparently he's only ever been in the Microfighter set. Unless you're cool with purchasing multiples of that Microfighter, maybe put him aside for now.
After doing some Brickset digging, it looks like the most abundant version of Phase I trooper is indeed the Clone Wars version, with at least fourteen specimens of the vanilla design, five who simply have armor parts on, and a dozen color varieties. If you have a lot of those, it should be simple enough to keep them as is.
If you wanted help in reorganizing the clones you already have, maybe you should share pics.
>>5736147
Anon, check your email
If I don't get this in the mail today I can't guarantee I'll get up early enough on Saturday to mail it then
>>5738710
LQ, how many Spooky Girls do you have at this point? The giveaways are great and all, but it seems to me your local toy store got a shipment of a whole box's worth of Spookies.
>>5738706
It's actually this one. I have got a lot of Clone Wars troopers, simply because I really like the Phase I armour. And as I said, I've had some success mixing and matching torsos between clones.
Really a lot of this has come about because I've been wanting to start or at least work towards building a Republic Cruiser hanger/interior, just something to actually bring my army/collection together. I might just split helmet designs into Phase 1 on the LAAT/i, and phase 2 on the AT-TE/elsewhere. Since I have roughly enough phase 1 clone wars variants to fill my gunship.
>>5738717
I only have one for me that I opened. All the rest are for giveaways.
If you're thinking that I screwed a bunch of kids out of their minifigs, it seems like I'm the only one in the region who's interested in them, because I was still finding full boxes of S12s long after Series 14 had come out. I even helped a few kids find their own spoopies when I was looking for other figs.
Eventually it just got to the point where whenever I was at Target I would just grab a couple of SGs for the giveaway pile because the boxes didn't seem to be emptying. It was only around March that I finally stopped seeing S12s.
Right now they're still drowning in the Halloween wave.
>>5738725

That's what I was curious about. How many are there in there?

i have to kill some time at the office so i'm trying to retro-engineer the candy kingdom castle but i'm already seeing some pieces that were introduced in 1995 and discontinued in 98, and in colors that didn't exist back then
marceline looks fat and her hair is weird
>>5738577
where is the gameplay? who are these people?
>>5738780
Pretty sure these will sell like hot cakes and we'll get more characters.
>>5738781
Trying to reverse engineer stuff we see on lego games has always been a pointless effort to me because of that.
Lots of custom parts, some of them bend or connect in ways they're not supposed to be, and don't get me started on the part colors.
Unfortunately the Movie also fell on this a lot of times.
>>5738789
yup.
it's still a fun excercise though.
and at the end you can replace the stuff that doesn't exist with stuff that does
>>5738758
Thanks anon! I was looking in the LEGO Dimensions FB page which didn't have it.
Marcie looks pretty good. Hair could be different, but I love the axe. And the fries.

>dat greeble
>>5738789
I like how everyone's favorite Lego Movie fact is some variation of "You can buy all the Lego pieces you see in the movie! They are all real!"
>>5738816
Nope, the only part I know that isn't real is the big ass wheel on Wyldstyle's orange bike. In the real set they used a 32 tooth gear, but in the movie it looks like a 64+ tooth gear.
>>5738824
There were also various parts from Metalbeard's body that don't actually exist. I remember some people here tried to replicate the model based on the early screener recordings of the movie back when i came out.
It seems like they didn't bother to keep trying byt the time the proper bluray got in stores.
>>5738789
not enough reference footage :(
>>5738835
I thought it was just that the set was inaccurate, not that the film version actually had nonexistent parts.
>>5738840
Can you recreate the Treehouse instead? If there's a chance we get a full Adv Time theme, that model has the most likelihood of being an actual set.
>>5738844
yeah i'm going to try and post it later today
>>5738824
>>5738835
>>5738841
I know that the laser blasts are a part that exists (flower stems), just not in a color you can get. The sets had lots of differences from the movie.
Anyone ever bothered trying to make the soviet train from Lego Indiana Jones?

>Marceline looks fucked, she needs longer h
yep. the bangs/part/whatever it's called look right for the 10 frames she's on screen. hopefully they'll make a custom mold when the minifig/game comes out
>>5738940
not necessarily, but i wouldn't be surprised if it gets turned into a theme like minecraft was, since it's so big with kids
>>5738940
Well they did the Doctor Who set along with Dimensions. The timeline isn't exactly comparable though.
>>5738940
The video doesn't indicate a full theme one way or another. Dimensions likes recreating intros for its level packs, so this Adventure Time clip is part of the beginning of the bonus level that the Finn pack comes with.

>>5739008
Nope, they're from the last Harry Potter wave 2010/2011. Harry just has a new hair piece (the same as the Midway Arcade Gamer Kid). Pretty sad.
>>5739035
Aren't these minifigs hugely overpriced nowadays? i think it's still a win for HP fans who didn't get the original sets.
>>5739039
Yep, they are. https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Gryffindor-2010-Minifigure/dp/B0044M4OCU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1466183155&sr=8-8&keywords=LEGO+Harry+Potter+Hogwarts+minifigure

Guess that means that the LEGO Harry Potter Team Pack is worth buying. You would save 1 Dollar and have 2 extra mini vehicles, seems pretty fair. Though I think that the LEGO Dimensions packs are still overpriced.
>>5739060

and then you pay. Either PP or that stripe wizardry I guess.

Okay, that makes sense. I was just worried I'd fucked up and he would get on my ass about it.
>>5739190
It's okay. BL can be a bit of a mess to learn.

What would /lg/ do for an official LEGO Twingo set in the same scale as the new Beetle or Mini Cooper?
>>5739071

What would /lg/ suggest to me if I want to start fresh with bricks? I have my child hood collection of lego bricks but a good portion of them are assembled in sets that I don't want to disassemble. Is the Lego Architecture Studio a good start for bricks in bulk?
>>5739268
Well, if you want a buttload of white bricks, then sure.
Other than that, there's the Classic-buckets but those can be a bit limited in variety, there's Bricklink and PAB walls if you want some random bobs, or you could just buy a set you like and mess around with it. 3-in-1 Creator sets are great for this. Just don't buy something that has like 3 different cars or planes. Go for variety.

>>5739268
There is an analysis of that set in particular at New Elementary: http://www.newelementary.com/2013/07/like-virgin.html
One other tip is buying two small sets rather than one larger set. That way, you have an even number of every brick in the set. That was in the context of building mechs though.
>>5739268
>What would /lg/ suggest to me if I want to start fresh with bricks?
Just buy an unsorted eBay lot. There are always plenty of sellers with "5 lbs of blue Lego bricks", "10 lbs of white Lego bricks", etc.
You'll get a lot more crack for your stack than you would buying a retail box.
>>5739308
that sucks, i cant buy "in advance" i need money too.
anyway, i found this little set as bonus for the donald duck magazine, same price as the foil bags, awesome.

>>5739379
Your favorite

Bionicle is so hated it got ousted to it's own thread. Biofags also seriously think that Nexo Knights -stole- their TV show and shelf space. Seriously.
>>5739387
None of us fuckin think that.
Where'd you hear that?
>>5739376
So expensive
Too much responsibility
Is Ghost Rider out yet in Canada
>>5739379
ICE PLANET 2002
>>5739393
Send 45€ to me and I'll ship the Ghost Rider-set to you
>>5739398
That seems like a lot
>>5739399
It's 28€ here and shipping to Canada from Europe is a bitch.
>>5739379
I don't know if some people hate Ninjago because Chima was supposed to replace it, but ended up dying while Ninjago got like 3 more waves after.
>>5739403
I see, I'll take my chances in the afterlife, thank you
Maybe Lego will sell standalone minifigures where I'm going
>>5739393
I love seeing well-made faux boxes. None of this artifacted logos/ 1200-part-count for a photo of two minifigs/ out-of-focus photo garbage.
I just wish they had cleaned the scuff off her leg or shopped it out.
>>5739366
UCS Millennium Falcon off Amazon.
Fuck it.

Give me ideas on what to build next /lg/

Power Miners doesn't get much love, which is a shame because I was all over that shit as a kid.

A one bedroom trailer for an overweight alcoholic single father with three daughters and four dogs.
>>5739337
>You'll get a lot more crack for your stack
>>5739441
Even better!

...maybe the two bedroom wasn't so bad.

I can dig it.

When I'm building a big ship like that I love slowing down the process to pretend like the pilot/engineer is building the ship himself. Hauling each piece into its place and using tools to secure it. Which figure is building that ship, anon?
>>5739422
>I love seeing well-made faux boxes. None of this artifacted logos/ 1200-part-count for a photo of two minifigs/ out-of-focus photo garbage.
How do you take good enough photos for faux boxes? :(
>>5738317
>snow plow and camper van
It's a shame how marked up discontinued sets even from a year or two ago are. All I have so far is the current camper set and the orange garbage truck. I wish there were a larger variety of realistic sets to choose from.
>>5739251
Many things. Dirty things.
Why not take a crack at building one yourself?
>>5739585
>I wish there were a larger variety of realistic sets to choose from.
Hopefully they'll bring out new versions of them in X years like they usually do (i.e. old campervan to new campervan, Car + Camper to Minivan + Camper, the two garbage trucks, etc), but this time the old designs were definitely better and I doubt they'll be making a new snow truck period, especially a Unimog styled one.
Missed out on both tanker trucks, too, which is disappointing.
>>5739368
Holy shit that is a great attempt dude. Do you see the world the way a master builder does in the lego movie because that is the only way to explain this skill.
>>5739628
not him but really? beyond the pieces you see you just have to figure out how to attach everything from the inside.
>>5738193
is that wiener mc whiteknight forgot his name?
>>5738397
what kind of stuff would you like to build anon?
Space stuff, licensed stuff, race cars, regular cars, houses, robutts?
Then ask yourself what scale you want.
Als since you're just starting, it would great help to start sorting your pieces soon to spare yourself a headache when you get into it more seriously.
Also i warn you that cracklink is a hell of a drug.
>>5739423
Too expensive
What's in a comfy price range?
is the TFA Millennium Falcon a good buy at MSRP?
Not sure how long it's going to last here.

Haha... I thought the same thing, but it is not Pete Salciccia. While it IS his hair, and he DID wear that tux in the Manic Panic two-parter, the head is from the Shark Guy CMF.
>>5738725
lets do another giveaway generous anon!!!
>>5738397
If you're willing to drop the money, there were some themes within the last few years that fit your interests. Monster Fighters had a bunch of classic monsters such as a werewolf, vampire, mummy, etc. There was also a Dino theme a few years ago, and a Jurassic World them last year.
>>5739777
Jurassic World sets are still in stores.
>>5739753
Sure thing

However, if you're looking to recreate the tick-tock gator, you might want to look at the Duplo version.
>>5739815
where's the well
>>5739846
if you're going for duplo oversized aquatic reptilians you should at least get one with working jaws.
>>5739905
Lol, I missed the "babby"
>>5739916
Aaaand that's the one I meant to post
Goddamn I am all kinds of suck tonight

Galidor by a wide margin
>>5739422
Too soon.
>>5739977
Not soon enough for that kid.
>>5739976
Galidor was licensed.
>>5739998
>Production of the show was partially funded by LEGO
>>5739998
>Production of the show was partially funded by LEGO, which produced a line of sets to go along with it, all based on a simplified action-figure structure vaguely similar to BIONICLE, which had been introduced the previous year.
Neutral third-party here, it's a bley area in my opinion
>>5739976
Dear lord, forgot that existed. Can that even be considered real legos?
>>5740020
>Can that even be considered real legos?
>Each set contained an action figure composed of about a dozen parts, connected by standard pins, typically at the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.
IT COUNTS!

TECHNIC!

>highest quality control standards of any toy company
>still have air bubbles in lightsaber blades
>>5740170
Hint: There are air bubbles in most Lego pieces, and in fact, in most plastic. To avoid air bubbles they would have to fill the mold so slowly it would cause cooling/breakage/strength issues in the plastic.
>>5740057
Is-is that even lego?
What are some /lg/ recommended movies that are/have anything to do with lego?
What's the white piece under Pig's hat? Bricklink doesn't know.
I think it's one of those half-cone cylindrical dealies.
