hot! Hot! HOT!! this is gorgeous, richard!
the second pc even looks like an h.r. giger painting! the light catching
on the side of the all-black head reveals the elaborate plate and brick work
quite nicely. it's so great to see a creation using system, technic, and
throbot elements so fluidly! please give us a "quick and dirty" close-uo of
the head!! how many bricks long is it?! the text description begs detail
shots of this beast's neck and torso workings!
flattered by your mention of my mini-fig alien, i must state for the
record, that i never would have created it in the first place, if you, my
friend, hadn't challenged, inspired, and encouraged me to do it, lo those
many moons ago. i am inspired by other people's creations every day, and it
is very touching when my models and work are a source of inspiration to
others! between you and shiri, right now, i'm downright misty-eyed!
i'm up to my kneecaps (soon to be elbows) in lego dinosaurs right now, so
who out there is up to the challenge (or suicide mission?) of a... <gulp>
full scale alien model?
later~ craig~

Now if you could give some info how to connect them to work
the Lego

Your assessment is correct - it would take two valves for a
Lego cylinder just as it does for a fischertechnik cylinder.
Btw, the Dacta Advanced Pneumatics Set (#9633) is a good way
to get into
Lego pneumatics. It includes all the parts for an motorised
air
compressor. Also all the parts except for another motor, for
a motorised
pneumatic valve switch. So you can really compare the
mechanical Lego
pneumatic valve with the Fischertechnik electrical solenoid
valve. Do
post your findings.
My next post on this will come after receiving the kit. Its
good to hear that the mechanical valve design is in the set. I was going to
put one together myself. If you have any good ideas on how best to compare
these two systems let me know.

Ja mam ted asi nejradeji model team. To je protoze vsechny modely jsou tak
dokonaly! Proste skoro neuveritelny. Kdyz se tak na ne koukam tak to skoro
nevypada jako lego jak je to detailny. Nevim zda koupit ty dva ultimate
collection star wars sety. Asi nejdrive pockam az je nekdo ohodnoti. Ten x-
wing vypada ze ma vice soucastek nez ten tie fighter. Jinak, vlastnis nejaky
legovy modely? tedy podobny tomu drakovi ktery tvuj kamos mel na ebay?

Taky jsem delal neco v L-draw. Je to pekny program az na to ze je to v MS-
Dos. Byl bych radsi kdyby to bylo ve windows. Nekdo uz udelal windows verzi
akorat na to ze je to DESNE pomaly. Take co mne na tom stve ze vsechny
soucastky nejsou definovany. Tedy kdyz jsem neco stavel tak jsem potreboval
soucastku ktera nebyla v L-draw. Tak dokoncenej model mel v sobe diry :)

Carlo,
visto che sabato non ho preso nota e ho già dimenticato...:-)
Potresti fornirmi marca, magari modello e ogni altra informazione utile per
acquistare cassettiere come le tue?
Ho scritto qui sul ng perché magari interessa anche ad altri. Siamo rimasti
tutti molto colpiti dalla tua meticolosa archiviazione.
Ciao
Mario

Another note about the crew picture -- the background was actually the
underside of a green baseplate. I changed the colour, and was quite pleased
with the futuristic steel-plate look I got.

Kdyby jsi tu chtel pracovat tak myslim ze by jsi mel dost dobrou sanci. Totiz
mnoho chytrejch lidi odjizdi z havaje pryc. Nejaci kvuli tomu rasizmu a
vetsina kvuli tomu ze tady jsou maly platy a vsechno je strasne drahy.
Napriklad v Nashvillu, Tenessee, USA stoji karton cigaret 20 dolaru. Tady
stoji 35. A mzdy jsou v Tenessee vetsi nez na havaji.

Prave kvuli tem historickym zakladnam a kvuli strategickymu polozeni v
pacifiku si havaj US chrani. Mnoho mistnich lidi nemaji radi turismus a
nadavaji na tom ale kdyby sem turisti nejezdili tak by ekonomika sla do
hajzlu.

It was actually a tan hair piece, but I edited the colour in Photoshop
because I'm planning for him to have brown hair once my S@H order arrives.
Due to the extremely poor quality of that part of the scan, I ended up
settling for a reddish-brown (which actually looks better than the real
brown will probably look).

Some of you emailed me direct I know but thought I would broadcast a reply.
It was a disappointing haul this week I am afraid. Not cause he didnt have
anything but cause someone beat me to it!
I got there around 9.30am and he said that someone had come early and bought
nearly everything he had that day. (perhaps they read my post!)
All that were left was a 8001 (£13.50) which I bought for myself, plus some
discontinued sets that are available half price in Entertainer anyway.
However, my parents now go to this place every week and he will be getting
more in. so hopefully by the time of the legofest on 11th march I will have
some items.

No, non sono solo lì, perchè io ne ho tre e non possiedo l'8094!
Purtroppo non so dirti a memoria in quali altri set si trovino.
Mi pare di ricordare che trattenessero il braccio di una gru montata su un
turntable.

Hi!
I have given QC a try and noticed that after shutting the RCX off and
restarting it, one does not go back to the QC application, but the ROM routines
are in control. I suppose some vectors have to be adjusted in order to not let
that happen?
thank you

Thanks for the tip.
Picked up the Sith at half price, a droid fighter.
They had some town and rock raiders too, but I wasnt interested.
Very annoying, as you comment, that none of this stuff was 'advertised' in any
way. You only found out if you punched in the numbers to their stock checker.
Not all sets were reduced, and many were out of stock.

Hi!
Could anyone please explain a little how the dynamic loading facility works in
legOS? I don't seem to get at full grip on it... and I can't test it either,
right now...
Is there a loader on the RCX?
Can apps be downloaded to the RCX whithout reloading the kernel too?
How about having several apps running simultaneously?
Are the apps tailored to a specific kernel build (by means of GENLDS)?
In other words, when downloading the kernel, does it wait then for an app, more
or less like the original firmare?
thanks
/Vlad
