 | | The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)

| Lenny is always giving me grief for not posting pictures of my stuff. Well, the other night I threw this together and somehow managed to take a picture of it: (URL) Oh no!> It's not exactly a masterpiece, but I think it's kind of cute.

| (...) LOL! That is great!! He must have been smoking in bed!! The smoke is the best part, making it out of LEGO instead of 'cheating' (use cotton balls like I do) really adds a nice touch! Nathan Lord of the LEGO (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| Smoke is nicely done, plus the bucket of water being trown at the fire is really cute. The whole thing deserves to be seen! Maybe a couple more people working with the little fellow would be even better. Terry (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Sometimes the best stuff is the simple stuff! I think your creation is wonderful! Like others have already said, the use of white 2x2 round bricks for smoke and the trans-lt blue flame (for water, ironically) is brilliant! And you gotta love (...)

| (...) This is great! Like others have said, the smoke and the bucket of water are both awesome, as are some of the shapes you made from the flame pieces. You gotta bring that to brickfest, and see if the fire spreads ;) -Dan Rubin (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)

| (...) It burns me to say this, but stop fueling around and douse the impulse to fire off a comment like that again. (...) Well, I can't say that I have enough green flames to replicate the look--but you're right, it would look cool. (...) New album (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Thanks, I think I'll be bringing it to (URL) in DC in August (shameless plug!). I was going to make a bucket brigade but I got lazy. Heck, I didn't even put a door on the building--my excuse is that it already burned away. Brucey-Wan wants me (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

|
| (...) Thank you--although I think the blue flame was used as water in a Jack Stone kit, so it wasn't really a stretch for me to use it like that. I am quite happy with the smoke though. (...) Oh yeah--they're perfect for a non-load bearing structure (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)

| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
|
| (...) Probably, especially since it will fit in my motorcycle saddlebag. I wish I could have made it to the last meeting--but sooner or later, I'll make it down to another one. Derek (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)

| (...) Hey Derek, good job! If your overly concerned about the fragility of the smoke... You COULD always glue it (or is that cheating?) :) Bill (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Why can I see this popiing up on Train and town layouts all over the place.:) All it needs is some gauking onlookers standing around, getting in the way Aaron A who is now reconsidering what to do (...)

|
| You're right, it is cute. I like that design. I probably won't steal it though, the smoke is a little dense for me. Hurts my lungs to try to breathe that in. That mini-figure is going to need a trip to the healer, or the apothocary at the very (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
|
| (...) Well, it's not that fragile. And Bill, now that you don't work for LEGO any more, you know you're not allowed to use glue, right? :) Derek (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

|
| (...) Very cool! I like the 'sheet of flame' look from the dragon wings--perhaps I'll steal that idea for my house. (...) Cool--but track down as many 2x2s as you can (if you go the same route I did)...they go fast! I thought I had quite a few of (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) You know, I suppose that wouldn't be too hard--it doesn't use any rare pieces. In fact, as you mentioned, it's a good use for all of those extra flames that everyone has. (...) Yep, in the CCC display at BrickFest I'm sure the poor little (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

And I don't think more pictures would do much for this little MOC, everything is pretty evident from that picture (IMO). (...) And thanks! I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| (...) Well, like someone else suggested, just change the flames to green--I understand that magical flames burn cleaner and won't leave such a smoky residue. (...) Uh, not that I would know, but if you buy a vial of crack on the street I doubt it (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)

| (...) Oh that is so sweet. I really like the design and the smoke. Truly a classic. I just hope you got your mother out of there before it went up in smoke. (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
|
| (...) Great MOC Derek! Love the smoke, and the Minifig. I think I'll have to borrow that look for the smoke. Add a few trans 2x2 and then you can do a smoke message in an Indian village... :) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
