 | | Missing log bricks in set 4508
|
| Has anyone else on LUGNET built the new Designer set #4508, "Titan XP"? I built the giant robot, and it calls for four black 1x2 log bricks - but mine didn't contain any! Has anyone else experienced this? There's no inventory on Peeron, and I (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.build)

| (...) <snip> (...) Cool! I figured somebody must have tried it somewhere. That looks great. It must not be done as an alternate since the trailer seems to use pieces that aren't from those sets. It would be neat if somebody could do it while (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space)

| (...) Has been a while Paul! Thanks for your kind comment and that you've noticed the details. I'll do my best to keep up coming with some alternate models. I've recently bought the new designersets too so I'll see what I can do with those. Good (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) That looks great. The curves blending into the side vents looks really nice, and I like the turbojet in the "hood". The short wings look sort of jagged, but that pretty much works. Also, I have to add that I think the Air Blazers color scheme (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)

It's amazing how well you captured the "hover vehicle" style (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space)

| (...) Well, nobody knows the model better than you... But you wouldn't have a picture of it? (I believe you're right about the wints, but I'd still like to see how the frontlights turned out) And you have to do a lot better (worse) than that to fool (...)

It's a complete new design. All my older models - (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)

To answer your question: Yes there are 2 of these engines in this set. Ok. Actually it's not a first timer, but it (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.space, FTX)

| Eric- What a great concept! And implementation! And effect! You cut to the heart of what makes a really cool MOC. I'm certainly going to want to put some cows in our pasteur when I get back from BF. -Ted Michon SCLTC (22 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX)
