NPU

I’m still uncreative as fuck. I am now tempted to snag a few moon raised baseplates though.

>>11485182
Gotta start somewhere! I just got my first Classic Space sets (20) and 4 crater plates!

>>11485483

Modern Alpha:Tron remake of the 6928 Uranium Search Vehicle which you now own.

>>11485831
2/X

>>11485483
Combine the four corners into a circle and build a base inside!

>>11485835
Alpha:Tron landing platform LP-81.

>>11485835
I'm gonna have to build the baseplates side by side since all table space is taken and shelves are too narrow. But I got this original landing pad! Gonna build my own version of Galaxy Explorer and order couple missing parts for the Uranium truck.

>>11485160
I've had this piece since the 90s and never used it. It came from random parts my grandma bought from a second hand store. Finally found the use.

>>11485834
I didn't know they were Russian.

Modded a little Classic Space Shuttle Craft to a Space Police one.

>>11487122
Gotta catch em all

Keep adding details to my too-big castle MOC

>>11487385
Gonna need to see closeups.
I came btw.

>>11486917
Alpha:Tron Identification stripe is Navy(dark blue)/Red not white/blue/red

>>11487396
Thanks Fren =]
Close ups of what?

>>11487476
>closeups of what
Yes. All of it. Interior stuff too.

>>11487644
I've only finished the ballroom and library floors

>>11487644
The bookshelves have some tight geometry using brown cheese slopes recessed in headlight bricks to make a kinda curved desk

>>11487476

If you slightly crop your pics before you post them, theyll post correctly
Sweet moc tho

>>11488410
Lemme try...

>>11488410
>>11488475
Looks like that worked

Here's my ideas for the bedroom floor

>>11485835
Somebody build S.H.A.D.O. Moonbase from the TV show UFO. A facility to intercept hostile flying saucers, a resting quarter, a garage for moon vehicles, and the big rocket to send people back and forth between Earth and the moon.

>>11487385
Kino.

>>11488793
If you brought 3 of 4 of these form ~2022 60350 and combined them all you would not be far off that

SICK BUILD

>>11488983
Wtf that literally the base.

>>11489015
>>11488794
Thanks Frens

>>11488485
Great layout. Your castle is sick. I'm Happy you have the funds for all those parts and the imagination to come up with it all. What's your build process? Do you 8magine it all and just order parts you think will work, or do you use that digital program to build with first? Pr do you just have an insane collection of parts to pull from at will?

>>11489809
very nice. has that distinct "classic" feel while incorporating modern parts and techniques.

Have a lot of moc ideas, should try making them

>>11490116
What themes?

>>11489810
I already had the big Disney castle a couple years ago when I was given another one for my birthday and decided to MOC them together into a huge castle.

I'm an architect so most Lego I can do in my head but sometimes I'll do some sketches and order Bricklink parts if I need them. My Disneyland castle was 2 of the new recolored Florida castles plue 6 BrickLink orders to complete.

Because it was a replication of a real building I just looked at pictures. The biggest challenge with Lego as a medium besides cost is getting the proportions correct for mini figure scale, especially with their limited selection of windows.

>>11490571
MOC's do not have themes , they are pure unadulterated SOVL, Did you know with just 6 2x4 bricks you can make 915,104,765 MOC's?

>>11490794
I wonder how many MOCs there have been in the world?

>>11490800
Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the legos? The universe of numbers that represents the brick population. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the legos, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.

Very thematic to have a surf/diving/marine shop be in australia

>>11489288
nigga you didn't even bother to change the filename

>>11493289
Okay?

>>11493367
I just think he doesn’t want you to dox yourself.

I thought we were all frens

>>11493415
The people that post here are but there’s bad actors around lego these days.

>>11493564
>cityspace on a proper baseplate

This is it. This is the sovl we've needed.

>>11493564
Great use of the Western Indians baseplate! I got the same plate, but too many ideas between Adventurers and Western.

>>11493571
>>11493572
Thanks Frens

>>11498764
Amazing base and background too!

>>11487060
Officer! There's an illegal alien in the thread! >>11493434

>>11498830
sovl

>>11499731
Thanks Fren

We really liked the latest Space wave and made an alien Botany Research Outpost

I need to put more equipment on the worktops in their little lab tho

>>11500338
I don't like the new sets, but you make the theme work!

yarrr mixelfriend here I live on a boat now and can only build with the pieces I smuggled in my stomach

>>11498764
Background really makes it pop. And great alien terrain.

I think I'll make a classic orange castle backdrop when it's complete. Any input on the overall layout?

Pure unadulterated kino

>>11502381
Looks amazing! I've been trying to fix my Black Knights Castle layout and definitely both discourage and inspire me!

I tried to shoot a little scene. But I suck at photography and lighting. I wanted to go for a nighttime vibe and waited until it got darker but it's both too bright and too dark.

>>11503201
Still cool!

>>11502381
Good God anon no notes

Absolutely amazing I demand you post as many pictures as you can from as many angles as you can

>>11503201
I really really love the classic Lego studs aplenty styling skinned over modern Lego

>>11502381
Anon I can't tell you how happy your MOC makes me I keep looking at the picture zooming in all over please post more angles you tease

Thanks guys. The backside is largely unfinished. The "gatehouse" there is not really a gatehouse, it's just there for the sake of symmetry and just a keep-like tower. The gate will be filled with a rockwall that hides a secret entrance.

This outer wall needs to be spiced up. Originally I wanted to put an entrance to a dragon cave where the arch is. But it would eat into the kitchen in the basement and now I'll just put a terrace there.

I still don't know where to put the prison cells. Probably below either of the gardens. But then the trees would sit directly above the ceiling of the dungeons.

>>11504882
Fucken hell all the windows are so sexy

>>11504894
It's fun how a MOC kinda figures itself out as you build

All those os so so great anon than you for posting please keep us updated as you update your castle

>>11502381
Do you have an interior under that hexagonal platform?

yarr eff my wife she was manatee anyways

>>11506021
Yeah, the keep can be taken off and below it are two storeys. The kitchen is on the top floor and a treasure chamber in the basement. Doors lead outside to the garden in the front and the upper yard at the back.

>>11506042
Manatees are cute!

>>11506042
microbuilds with nice parts usage are the best

>>11506545
yarr but they be after me booty
>>11506564
Hell yeah. I mostly microbuild these days because I'm always on the move. When I'm in the studio space I get kinda paralyzed now. Here's my fave lil guy from a while back.

drink your woes away at krabby's booze sha- blublublub

>>11506478
I respect that you're not afraid to use your heavily sunburnt white.

Any good fella here has the pdf for this
MOC-168775
Got scammed like a clown on alliexpress and doesnt come with the pdf manual.

>>11510769
getting thieved by theives is just the way of things. You should have seen that coming. Either pay the creator for access to their work or hope your reddit thread gets the response you're looking for.

>>11511043
(◡‿◡)

>>11511043
It was my only option to get the pieces anyway, If I need to bite the bullet so be it.

>>11510769
Anon I... thats a clear picture.... what more instructions could you need??

>>11510769
I was going to make some comment to the effect of being incredulous that people pay for instructions, but that would be dishonest because I've been around the block long enough to know that not only is it sadly a thing but fairly widespread nowadays.
Still cringe tho

I kinda completed the gatehouse and put in mechanisms for the drawbridge and the portcullis. The portcullis has a one way gear, so it doesn't come back down when pulling it up and a quick release button.

>>11513304
btw, both the drawbridge and the portcullis are unmodified pieces from my original childhood 6085. Never disassembled. And as you can see, never cleaned.

>>11509270
Yeah, I was thinking why waste these tiles when they are hidden most of the time anyway.

>>11513304
Nice, I never realised it had those!

>>11513442
Had what?

Here's the interior of the gatehouse. The brown wheel on the left is used to crank up the portcullis. It turns the large gear which turns a small gear that is connected to the axle with the winch. The differently sized gears make the portcullis go up faster. The grey piece with the yellow tile sits on a pin and is the one-way gear stopper. Pressing it down releases the gear and lets the portcullis go down. Primitive, yet effective.

>>11513588
Drawbridge and portcullis. I only have Black Knight's Castle and Black Falcon's Fortress.

>>11513612
>Black Knight's Castle
Man, I wish I had that as a kid. So many great pieces and minifigs. As a standalone set this was probably the best castle back then.

>>11513627
To me it's still the best one. I found one for cheap 3 years ago after missing everything up to Fright Knights as a kid.

>>11513304
Nice decorative gears
