Chris, The dark green on the "Kathryn" locomotive is nothing more than carefully trimmed contact paper used to line kitchen drawers. Because she was decorated five years ago, the gold pinstriping and lettering was cut and applied by hand under (...)

Hi Jeff! I know of five ways to fake flying: 1. Attach model with string - digitally edit out supports later (as you say, very time consuming) 2. Film model in such a way that the supports are hidden from camera view. In my movie, "2001: A Lego (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.publish.photography)

This is tangentially related to both groups so I thought I'd crosspost. I understand that the LEGO Studios set contains tips & tricks for making models appear to fly without using string.

Chris, Thanks for pulling this old message. To clarify my ground rules... 1. No painting. A lot of the value in a Lego element is compromised if it can't be reused as originally intended. Custom stickers and tape, however, are fair game as they can (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.publish.photography)
