  Re: Is 1:40 minifig scale? (was Project YAMATO)
 
(...) I always accord minifigs 1:35 scale, possibly 1:32, because those are the closest "standard military" scales. But also, I go by the average of the minifigs' dimensions, which sort of implies they are 5' tall and very, very broad. So I am (...)

  Oh, wow. Wowowow. (was: Re: Project YAMATO)
 
(...) Jumpei, That is beautiful. Truly a thing of utter beauty. I am currently planning out a true-minifig-scale model of the battleship Fuso ca. 1944, though I am going closer to 1:35 scale given that minifigs are not truly to human propor- tions. (...)

  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
how do you do that? ???...??? With pieces from ONE set? I always run out of pieces or need another one of that piece (etc.). Yours look like they all belong there. Lego would have sold a lot more sets if this was the model I think. Steve (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) Oh wow... Great model, and great photography! I'm totally amazed at people who can build in Technic, and it's even more impressive that you only used parts from 8436! Looks like an official model. Instructions? :) -Bryan (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) You really have quite a wide range of talent. Not only do you do good sports cars, but you have done robots, boats, people, trucks- all out of Lego kits. Maybe now you can start building construction vehicles. I assume you did not use a winch (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Is 1:40 minifig scale? (was Project YAMATO)
 
(...) I personally advocate 1 stud to the foot, which is about 1:38. If the stud size is exactly 8mm then it's 1:38.1. If a stud size is 5/16" then it's 1:38.4. There's little difference between the two, unless you build something 14630 plates high (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
 
  Hello everybody
 
Hello everybody, I'm new here. This is my first post. I started building Mecha about 9 month ago and the 22nd is the first that goes to public. It's named Primech because it's the first one that actually got a name. (2 URLs) The arms are inspired by (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)  
 
  Re: Bricksaic version 0.1.0
 
(...) I ran into this too while betatesting. If you were using, for example, MLCad, it might be a problem with the color definitions that MLCad is aware of. Bricksiac is getting its color info from the ldconfig.ldr file in the install dir, I think. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Is 1:40 minifig scale? (was Project YAMATO)
 
(...) I agree with previous posts that the variability of minifigs, not to mention their dispropotion nature means that a number of scales are possible. However, for me personally Minifig scale is not really 40:1. I have been doing a lot of work (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
 
  Re: Bricksaic version 0.1.0
 
(...) Download went great. (...) First, of all, I would like to say that I think this program is awesome. I have never done a mosiac but I was able to have a parts list in about 2 minutes. Very user friendly. I did find a few possible problems, but (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
 
  Archangel Preview
 
Hi All- Just a little preview to what I've been doing lately. (URL) Archangel on Brickshelf> (URL) Archangel on MOCPages> That's one of three new models that will be photographed and edited and posted sooner or later. L8rs Ryan (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

Hello! After I already came up with "Armor's Arrow Hitting its Target": (URL) me, I'm a link!>>, I now was inspired by some talk on Classic-Castle.com to modify these statues like this: (URL) me, I'm a link!>> It's Diana (or Artemis), the goddess of (...)

  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
I'm pretty sure that soon you'll find a black, unmarked vehicle at your doorstep, from where two men in suits will emerge to ask you to join the Lego development group. Failure to comply will result in a direct assasination, since we all know (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Ughh... you're killing me here... I just got 8436 for Christmas... I want to build this... I need instructions... argh... I don't have your skills... I just want to recreate yours... Allow me to vent... When I was a kid the only frustrating (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) (snip) (...) Wow! Superb model, and great presentation, your photography technique is very good. of course the most impressive bit is that you did it all with 8436. Wouldn't it be great if LEGO started making fan created alternate model (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
(...) That is really, really good - it has the essence/spirit of the real thing. It makes me want to break open the 8436 I have and build your model. Jennifer (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  MOC 8436: Cranetruck
 
Being inspired by the 4100 cranetruck, I decided to build another one a bit more challenging. So I transformed the 8436 truck into another cranetruck: (URL) It has many functions like pneumatic boom and stands, rotating cabin and ofcourse steering. (...)

  Re: Bricksaic version 0.1.0
 
(...) Gorgeous! Bob, I've been planning out a program to do mosaics- but this blows my plans away! The only suggestion I would make is to allow the user to select the size of baseplates to use. 32x32 is usually cheaper, and a user might have a (...)

  Bricksaic version 0.1.0
 
Hi all, I just finished a major update of Bricksaic. You can read about it and download it from here: (URL) Bricksaic is a program used to make LEGO mosaics. It is very simple to use.

  Re: Some fun for Buffy and Angel fans
 
(...) Hey, neat-o Bianca! What kind of printer is used for the decals? An inkjet? I didn't know that it was possible to make those..., this will come in handy for my plastic model work. As for the faces, I must admit that I have trouble recognizing, (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod)
