also there is a thread. "how did you accommodate your house" something like that.
but the kwik e mart is as deep as the shelf, Wu's Dragon on the other hand is just big.
he got a far number of part's to him. but he also got a lot of open space around them part's.
and thanks i'll look for the thread,
is this that thread?

I wanted to create a sturdy structure for the 'skeleton' of the model, and it's certainly that! You may be able to guess what it's going to be from the next photo:
If you still can't guess, you may be able to from the reference photo on the sheet of A4 that it's stood on. It's Rey's Speeder!
Specifically, I'm building Rey's Speeder to the scale of the Rey Constraction figure, #75113. You can see on the photo where I've put stud measurements on it to help me.
Even before I bought the minifig-scale speeder, I came to the conclusion that minifigs are too oddly-shaped for any minifig-scale speeder to look right, so I decided to do a proper one at this scale. It'll also mean that Rey can actually ride on this one, as in the film, rather than having to sit on it as in the minifig-scale set.
It won't be finished until later on this year, but I thought I'd start on the frame for it now. Some of the curving at the front is going to be 'interesting' to do, given the relative lack of Dark Orange parts, but I'm sure I'll cope.
looking forward to seeing ware you go with this
YOU DID ONE IN PINK!!!!!!!!!!
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
what did you do with the other Pet shop's?
and btw, But for the PINK! that, looks, AWESOME!.
I used the sand blue pieces for a corner bike shop (photos published previously).
right now and here is a picture of my work space.
he is a big Dragon. :P
and thanks i like the houses to.
still building bag 2 right now and that is the little (ok mid sized) Dragon.
will post a pic when i am done. taking a time out right now to read and post on here.
and it is my 1st Air ship woot!
I'll be subjecting the wedges of the base to the hydrogen peroxide whitening method in the spring/summer as sunlight is in short supply at the moment.
5 bags down 5 bag's to go.
and i am taking a brake and maybe a nap :)
and now i need to work out ware to display it.
it's way big.
and way way long. i going to have to rework my hole room. :/
3:27am....proper trooper!
It's an impressive, imposing figure (51cm tall) with incredible detail. I can't imagine I'll ever do a more intricate build.
I am feeling the burn that many of us go through. :( :( :(
I will have a supreme pile of goodies to build when the time comes. I think I need an extra house for all the sets and MOCs I have planned. Had to downsize to a smaller apartment last year. My time is mostly spent at school, on homework, or at work.
Someday though, someday!! Sadly, might be a few years :(
this could pass as a wishlist/have list.
i have 3 of the 6 set's listed here and wish to have the other 3,
haveing said that, the mini is way down on my list and big bang is cool, but i just may not have the cash to get it, others have higher priority
we will see when i get close to the time to buy more lego, what, i will get.
its a big set so need some time to prep my work space,
will update at the 1st brake in building.
here is a picture of the work space as it is right now.
right now i taking a time out, then i'll be right back to the build.
also have local radio on as background sound.
(I've got seven modulars that need assembling!)
building is fun.
i would offer to build them for you, if, 1, you was not in the USA, 2, and the USA was not so faraway. and 3, the USA is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.
also i don't think you could pay what i would charge for me to build them :p
and a update,
i have the lower part of the house done now,
just have to build the top, which can wait.
i need a brake. and maybe to sleep.
will probably go back to building in the morning some time around 9 to 10am UK time.
From left to right:
Poe and Finn (are they collectively 'Pinn' or 'Foe'?) - in Finn's case, just about the most obvious 'custom' ever, and without a doubt there'll be a proper Poe along soon; that one's just an Indiana Jones (I think) head, with the mechanic hair because it seems to kind of fit him (the more ruffled black hairpieces I had to hand didn't look cool enough).
JB-007, another simple one (just making use of the helmet, and the head underneath, left over from making Stormtrooper Finn), but my favourite. He skulks in the back of my First Order shelf, as I like to imagine after the film he transfers to intelligence, and gets sent on missions across the galaxy to glamorous locations where he infiltrates crime syndicates and seduces sexy aliens. But he keeps the helmet on the whole time.
HURID-327, the droid seen outside Maz Kanata's castle; more impressionist than accurate (and limited by my not wanting to spend ages on it, so I only pulled a single storage bin out of the shelves and made do with the pieces I could find in it).
and Rey, or more to the point Rey's speeder, with a net attached - in addition to the tools that used to be mounted on the side of the speeder, I stuck in a Sakaaran blaster from one of the Guardians of the Galaxy sets to bulk it out; ought to be worth a dozen rations at least, salvage from a whole different galaxy. I really liked that bit of Rey sitting around with the helmet on, so that's my little homage to it, with an ice stick instead of a flat tile for a survival ration because it seems more fun - also it makes for a cute little bit of symmetry, since the shelf above hers is Echo Base, where Leia's also snacking on an ice stick. And since the shelves are wire mesh and get light shining through, she is technically sitting in the shadow of an AT-AT's foot, so there's that too...
there was 1 bad part,
it look's like there was left over color from the last batch and there are flacks of black in the tan Brick 2 x 2 Corner, so i going to phone Lego on Monday to see what them can do.
i have 13 set's to pick from so i dont know what is next.
ok so 8 out of them 13 are mixles. :)
and 1 is olaf.
Now that the place is back to normal I thought I would see what they were like and have just finished #31025 mountain hut. After building a lot of the larger sets I was not expecting too much from building something like this but although not a technical build it is quite a fun set and I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. Will probably leave it assembled for a couple of days then have a go at one of the other builds. I don't think I will overlook these sets as much as I have done previously.
i relay going to enjoy this build.
i been a Fan of Dr Who from the same age i started with Lego as a Kid.
#31038 was the other 3 in 1 set that I purchased as I thought it would go well with the winter village as well.
Looking at #31025, with the addition if some spare white bricks and tiles I think it will fit in nicely.
the TARDIS insides are done,
for the blue lightsaber part only 3 had air bubbles in them.
so i rooted over all my star wars set's until i found 3 that A had no bubble or B you would not see said bubble in the built of the Dr Who set.
why did i do this? this is one set i wish to look perfect down to the smallest part.
so i even swoped some of the Technic Axle #4 when the Bars used on the side of the build was a bit loose and did not hold well, the Axle are ok for normal Technic use, just not the grip for small bars.
i have 2 daleks and the outside of the TARDIS left to build.
i am going to try to make this build last. it will be 3 weeks before i can get more Lego set's and then it is only Wall-E and some pick a brick parts that i plan to get.
so got to make it last.
I may. Just may. have too much time on my hands.
anyway. got the 1st building in the #70751 set done. and i am surprised at how good it looks for so little brick work.
this little build would have made a good little set all by its self.
when i looked at the part's for this little build in my parts tub. it did not look like you could build a building with it.
anyhow. as i am admiring the little build, i better start to think ware i will display the full set when it is done. i may do a full Ninjago display on the table i normaly build on. as i will be done with the big builds and i can go back to my bed building :p
