Xortberg Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Inb4 Vydrach and Lego ponies. Lego creations fascinate me. I lack the patience and artistic ability to make them myself, but I do love seeing them. Especially those fancy Lego machines. I once saw a video of a functioning printer made with Legos and a marker, I'll see if I can find it and post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xortberg Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX09WnGU6ZY There we are. Slow and inefficient as hell, but awesome nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yeah, I love that printer. I'm personally into making vehicles in close to minifig scale. Unfortunatly, due to a lack of just the right bricks I usually need to complete my creations, most are made digitally in LEGO digital designer, and I'm including the build files for anyone who wants a closer look. Here being one of the latest ones, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Openable doors and engine compartment, with a small engine in it. http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=485399 And here one I created a year or so ago, my own Corvette. Openable doors, detachable T-tops, and miniature engine. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=485455 Others I've made, but yet to upload: 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback 1970 Dodge Charger Chevrolet K5 Blazer 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 Hummer H1 (This one in real life bricks.) Lamborghini Countach Land Rover 110 M35 army truck Porsche 911 Shelby Cobra Willy Jeep. As well as tons and tons of WIP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Monroe Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I myself am into the field of historical recreation LEGO. Sadly, I am poor and irish and can not actually afford to support this hobby, so it has laid stagnant for yeaaaaaaaars without any real progress. My central theme was the 18th century. I hope one day to recreate some of my original science fiction works as well, plus do some city recreation (I've been planning to do a 1:1 scale of Venice...).

Harlow Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I had LEGO's when I was younger, but never really constructed anything special. Just had tons of fun :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asper Sarnoff Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thought this was pretty badass. And then, there's these awesome abandoned houses I'll urge everyone to have a look at. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/228199 http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/249629 http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/289232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygun81 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thought this was pretty badass. How ironic I saw that yesterday And now that I've posted in here I guess I'll post another LEGO creation. The LEGO Star Wars visual dictionary states on the 'Community' (not official) page: The Brickish Association is a UK-based community of Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs). Its members displayed their Mos Eisley diorama at the UK's National Space Centre and at Star Wars: Celebration Europe in 2007. Apparently the stormtroopers are searching for missing droids, tan coloured bricks were collected over many years, 12 people built and contributed buildings, vehicles and figures, some aliens have custom heads sculpted from modelling clay, some of the landspeeders are motorized and the display uses about 200,000 bricks. To be honest it's stunning. I could photo the dictionary and send it your way if you don't believe me but I just quoted the book there. Also, that sign says 'Fragile Do Not Touch' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Fitting tribute to the fact that this is after all a SF forum. http://www.flickr.com/photos/66888731@N04/6088907979/in/photostream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Dragon Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I used to have a battle group of Lego warships. But that was... 7 years ago, I think. Regardless, I had a Lego Star Destroyer, a costom-lego Klingon Bird-of-Prey, a custom-lego Romulan Warbird, and a few warships of my own design. Unfortunately, I never took any pictures.

Asper Sarnoff Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Uploaded two more LDD creations. M35 2-1/2-ton army truck. Steering, openable hood and doors, miniature engine, semi-realistic undercarriage with rear suspension. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=485585 Chevrolet Silverado. Steering, openable hood, doors and tailgate, minature engine and realistic undercarriage. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=485584 I myself am into the field of historical recreation LEGO. Sadly, I am poor and irish and can not actually afford to support this hobby, so it has laid stagnant for yeaaaaaaaars without any real progress. My central theme was the 18th century. I hope one day to recreate some of my original science fiction works as well, plus do some city recreation (I've been planning to do a 1:1 scale of Venice...). Know your pain. LEGO is hideously expensive. The best advice I can give would be too look into local LEGO builder clubs. Often, they have sizeable members discount at some stores, and one can save even more trough joining in on bulk buying. If the wallet is as empty as they come however, one can always look too digital building. Doesn't givee anywhere near the same satisfaction, but it's free, and will also allow you to experiment ahead before you eventually start building something in real life, making sure you don't have to get anything but the parts you need.

Asper Sarnoff Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Poking in to throw out some interesting stuff again. Cubestormer II, a very efficent Rubik's Cube solver made of Mindstorms Lego and a smartphone. And just in time for the new movie about the Three Musketeers. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sethchristie/6278647515/ And lastly, a very interesting tutorial covering several interesting building techniques as someone build a medival village. A WIP. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60907 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 O_o Lego sure has evolved over the years, though I remember having ridiculous amounts of fun with those large, 500+ piece creator bins; they were great to make random things out of! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Lol I wonder why I haven't seen this thread before. I like legos a lot, and perhaps when I get that giant bin I have down, I'll make something and show you guys! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
