That flag is so lovely it's funny. Like the whole build looks great and detailed but then I'm laughing at the flag.

Anyone else played Minecraft Dungeons? I got it a few days ago and I absolutely love the Tower Keeper.

I could use some help with a build. I've been mucking around with a 4th speeder and I'm having problems. The whole thing is a giant snot build (which I am kinda proud of) but the most stable option is stressing the pieces and I'm not sure why. I've got a few pieces sandwiched in between two 1x2x1 2/3 pieces which are both attached to a 2x6 plate. If the snot bricks are facing the same way there is no stress but if they are facing opposite directions there's a slight but noticeable bend. Studio isn't showing any issues but it is definitely showing up in practice. Here is essentially what the relevant section looks like (the brackets are 1x2x2 on the actual thing). The top is what works, the bottom is what I would prefer.  Am I just running into tolerance issues? Doctor Spaceman fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Mar 1, 2022 |

Don't have a good spot to take photos at the moment but I've got some renders.   Pretty happy with how it turned out. I really wanted to use the dark azure wheel arches and that left me with some challenges for the rest of the build since we don't have many pieces in that colour. It's almost entirely snot; the top and core of the back section are the only things build the right way up. It'd be a lot stronger if I could sort out the issues I mentioned above, or if I rebuild a bunch of the snot stuff inside.

My Gradius Vic Viper build might not be getting a ton of votes on Lego Ideas, I never expected it to anyways. But posting it there somehow pushed my build to be the first result on GIS if you google "Lego Vic Viper" which sort of swells me with pride considering it's sort of an established sub-genre of MOC building. it used to be the green one from Gradius 2 someone else did, which is frankly better than mine but I'll take the visibility anyways lol. Although it's a bummer that Lego made me edit a bunch of stuff out of the images that made them cool before letting me post it, so it's not even the pictures I liked but whatever.

I like the snowboards as the bill. I had seen Lego snowboards before but had no idea until two days ago that they had licensed Gravity Games Lego sets in like 2003. Saw someone listed the big air jump and boardercross course and immediately bought it. Gonna have to find a way to integrate that into our winter village this year. Which when I think about it is kind of silly because if I end up customizing it I'll probably just buy the relevant pieces for pennies off bricklink.

Heh, I was on the fence about buying the Creator Porsche 911 and the Mustang. The Firas MOC instructions for the alternative Countach is what tipped me over to the 911. Actually, I don't know how much the cost of designing a model is but it would be really cool if the Creator Expert sets were 2 in 1. I don't feel like the Turbo/Targa versions really count.

I wonder what the process is for that. I assume that they have someone build the main model, finalize the part list and instructions and then give the pieces to someone else and have them build something new. But there is also the licensed set aspect. They get the Porsche branding or the Ford branding for the main set, what do they do for a potential second build? They can't exactly license another brand for the inferior set, and the main brand might not be happy that their set is also some other generic thing.

The main model of the 3-1 always uses all the pieces, right? Do the other ones use all the pieces?

I grabbed the mercades 2 pack even though I don't know what I'm gonna do with it, just because the few Speed Champion sets I have have been such fun little builds with cool parts usage. Loved the Lambo and the ferrrari from last year. What a great deal too. Almost 600 parts for $30. I've only put the F1 car together and man, first off it looks great, but that build is finicky as hell and I kind of can't believe that set is 9+. Usually those speed champions sets take me like 45 minutes to put together but this took me over an hour and a half cause its such a weird build and that car alone has almost 30 stickers. It's also got some areas held on by a single stud and it's super easy to knock parts off. It's neat as something to put on the shelf but I can't imagine a nine year old having much fun building or playing with it. Many of the "18+" sets I have put together are much easier and straight forward. Although I think the age recs are really more of a marketing thing than anything actually representative of the build.

I've always imagined the same designer makes the alternative builds, easier to build something new when you're already familiar with the parts. Good point about licensing, I didn't think of that. That really limits what you can do, which I guess is the big downside of building brands. At least some companies have a big enough range of real world stuff. Like the alternative for the Mustang could be a dragster car, the alternative for a Volvo 240 (one day...) could be a truck and so on.
