 | | Modding the new LEGO lightup minifig
|
| Finally! I got my hands on one of the new LEGO produced lightup figs. You know what comes next - MUTILATION!!! First, some observations of the LEGO version: The packaging states the batteries are not replaceable. With a little work, you can pry off (...)

| (...) Yes, yes, I tried those things too. I have another bulb of the same age from the same set on the other end of my loco, powered by the same battery box, and it's working just fine. I tried going backwards on the connections; first I put the (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

| Hi there, I've been pondering the aesthetic issue. Last night I made a pyramid of Lego heads, illustrating the schema in Scott McCloud's book, Understanding Comics. (See below) McCloud's schema for comic characters identifies three artistic poles (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

| (...) Well, they've recently started producing 5L and 7L technic axles, which have proved extremely useful (thanks!). And I always love to bring up the (URL) 5x9 plate> they documented but never made :) ROSCO (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) I've always found it interesting that 1x3 and 2x3 bricks and plates are the only odd length elements of those general categories. As you mention, there's no 1x5, no 2x5, no 1x7, no 2x9 and so on. I assume this is by design, but then you have (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| The piece I really want is 2x5 or 1x5 (or x7) bricks and plates. When building a MOC that's an odd number of studs wide, you have to either make it asymmetrical or use x1 and x3 bricks which aren't good for structural support. (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) If you're going to explore these kinds of things, I recommend you learn how to create LDraw parts (or what's easier, editing existing ones). It's really not that hard. Also in many cases you can get a pretty good approximatin by just (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) This may seem obvious, but if you're using a wire to connect it to a battery box, is it the wire? Does the battery box work properly? Does the battery itself work? Try checking out those parts too. -Bryan (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

|
| (Not sure exactly where this should go) I have an old (say about 7-8 years old) electric light and sound brick 1 x 2 with top lamp that has never given me trouble until now. I tried clearing the muck off the contacts, rearranging it in various ways, (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

Could you post jpegs of the results? I created bits like studs in the drawing and (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) Thanks, I like to do a proper job :-) (...) Up to now, there is no plate to go with the 4x4 round brick and the half cylinders. This means that unless your round bricks have exactly 4 bricks between them, you can't support them at the side (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

I assume it has 2x2 studs on top, as if two 2x3s with curved top had been superimposed at (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)
