What about “Parts > 100 stud^3 = lame”?

Well, at that point, we may as well just make a “no BURPS” symbol. Which I
couldn’t wear, because I can’t get enough of ‘em!
|
I thought you wanted it made shorter?
Has “burps” some kind of lego connonation I’m not aware of or are we OT?

I can’t figure out how people have time for such neither, I’ve worked on a
90 stud ship for the last 70 days, and I don’t think that can be called
neither finished nor capital. Of course it doesn’t help that I’m building it
in MLCad; there’s a lot of “what the hey now-staring” at the screen involved
in such a project. The 90 stud hoverbus I made in the spring took 150 hours
over a couple of months.
|
Well, i guess it cuts down on gruschteling-and-tracking-down-part time.
|
That depends a lot on how well you’ve sorted your collection, but yes, rare
parts, and parts you don’t have are of course easier to add digitally ;-)
| |
I never did use MLCAD much, I always wanted to use parts that weren’t rendered
yet :P
|
Who knows, those parts can be modelled by now, so that’s not an excuse :-p
| |
The best part about it is that it’s a lame part that can never really be
de-lamed. It’s a zeppelin, and zeppelin it will stay. Luckily, I like
building ‘em.
|
The only de-laming that’s possible is the fact that the ones building
successfully with them raises in our esteem, but that don’t rub off on the part.
A lame part can never ever be de-lamed, that’s my opinion.

10x20 spaceship is right. Boat parts were used to good effect in
this fine ship, the domes are
salvageable, and I bet with a bit of pluck and a bit of schleim, somebody
could make a turret through that dastardly window. I think it’s better that
the castle wall is a lame space part, we wouldn’t want to let cap ship makers
get lazy ;)
|
That ship looks slightly bigger than 10x20… If we’re going over that size, and
into cap. ships then they can be ok but only for a few crazy bastards with too
many bricks and too much time on their hands. But as TLC doesn’t seem to be
particularly interested in that segment, it is lame for them to make such big
parts.
I once build a big blimplike spaceship by putting two pirate ships
together, but it wasn’t very swooshable and took up too much of the table. (and
was too hard to separate = no play value)
You might be right about the cap’ers, but they would’ve made darn good
containers without those arcane looking leaks. Now I’m stuck on octagonal
containers which are harder to stack and can’t hold as much cargo.

I’m sure I’ve gotten more than 300 parts in a bag (mmm, corner slopes), you
know, when I’m not getting trees or somesuch.
|
What kind of corner slopes?? I’m with you on the trees (although I won’t touch
them sold by volume!!) the only slopes we got is those nice curved 1x6 ones in
black and white.
| |
What? New offer? So tempting...
and yet I don’t have the money...
|
Oops I accidentally cut that part out of the last message: It is to fill one of
the big basicboxes with 5 kg lego from the sets TLC can’t get rid of for $100.
Sooo good but it also takes 4-5 hours to plunder the good pieces so time and
money is a serious constraint, but still I have a hard time staying away; my
Grandmother says I’m possessed, and she might be right, but at this point 5000
pieces is a serious boost to my collection (42,927 from sets + a couple of kg’s
of extras, stolen stuff and the like)
Cheers NB
