Why are the part numbers on bricklink different from those that Lego itself uses?

Working in LDD on a modular submarine in what is, I guess, the Atlantis set. Just finished my first piece (and it'll only cost $95!) Click here for the full 1415x1067 image.  Click here for the full 1415x1067 image.

Shuppiluliumas posted:I've been very busy these last few weeks. I am building an intermodal container port complete with ship, cranes and all the rest for Brickfair this year. Most of it is done and boxed up to go, but here's one photo of the old, rotting dock that sits off to one side of the main port. I really like the use of the 1x1 green transparent plates for the water.

I'm trying to figure out how to make a cargo elevator/forklift/whatever with vertical travel of five blocks, and I'm just shooting blanks. Anyone have any ideas?

The Atlantis Exploration HQ really sucks. As a HQ, it's really confusing because it's so open. As a sub, the lights knock over any minifigs you try to put inside. Piece of poo poo. It has a lot of small design elements that I like, though, and am going to steal mercilessly to design my own "exploration HQ" (that can actually be staffed by the 18 atlantis minifigs I have, heh heh) edit: The Neptune Carrier is really nice though.

BrainWeasel posted:Even though it was on clearance, I got some sticker shock when I bought the Bionicle chest piece pictured above. The 10-cent rule of thumb has really spoiled me for fancy parts. I took InfinEight's thing and changed it slightly. I need a little more vertical travel than the 4-high antennas he used, so I used technic axles:  Click here for the full 1689x1067 image.

I think actually this plus a technic axle to keep it in place might work. How do you use slide rail pieces though? edit: That is to say, "PLATE 1x2 WITH SLIDE" fits in, but the offset is really weird and I can't manage to fit another piece on it in LDD, so I'm a bit concerned.

Here's my next try for an elevator, trying to make it pretty simple: Click here for the full 1689x1067 image. Close-up of the guiderail and elevator slot with one guiderail cover and all the elevator chassis hidden:  Click here for the full 1689x1067 image. edit: Less axles should make it easier to move, and the guiderails give it some stability, even though they're probably just aesthetic.

BrainWeasel posted:The brackets on the side aren't a single piece, right? It's hard to see any seams in these pictures. Here, I colored all the pieces. Side view:  Click here for the full 1689x1067 image. Angle view:  Click here for the full 1689x1067 image. edit: The great thing is that the elevator is on the same grid as the rails, making aligning everything really easy.

3 posted:Those LDD hinges are click hinges, so I wouldn't recommend using them specifically for that kind of lift. Yeah, I'll have to get the old-school hinges probably (although the click hinges would solve the "support itself" problem...)

Shuppiluliumas posted:I you were to double the number of finger hinges in that old set design to 4 rows, it would definitely support itself, unless you got some really loose hinges. It might even do alright as is. Sometimes those hinges are pretty tight. I'll probably buy two rows of new and four rows of old and see if I can make the former work, because I'd prefer that.

Just got 4995 Cargo Copter in the mail new for $18. Here's a video I found of building it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GpcYfXoUYY Coolest thing about it is that it's minifig scale from a creator set. Also, I finally learned how to tie a knot thanks to building it.

InfinEight posted:Is there something you'd like to tell the group? Maybe you can show us where the robot touched you Supposedly I should be able to cram a minifig in there sitting, but the loving torso is such a clusterfuck SNOT mess that if it doesn't fit, welp. Just ordered the pieces off bricklink, we'll see how it goes when I get it. ~200 pieces.

Amazon has 21005 fallingwater for $70, and it's going on bricklink for like $90 with like one sold a month. Do I invest?

TheMadMilkman posted:They had this on display at my local TRU. I wish the bus was sold separately. It's a really good model. You can get the pieces for the bus off bricklink for like $35. The only expensive pieces are the trans-black windows. Here's an .lxf for the bus. I changed the back a little because LDD doesn't have the piece that the set uses for the rear bumper.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Yeah, that's one of the downsides I'm seeing in modern Lego. It seems like a lot of sets use traditional bricks for the under-structure, and then use all sorts of custom, pre-molded shapes for the outer areas.
