breakdown of the U S P S truck I posted last thread. Most of it is obvious from the completed model. The nose is a bit of a clusterfuck because I needed a .5 plate vertical offset to match the slopes

> EXPERIMENT
Try things! You can do this with actual parts or in LDD, either is fine.

> COPY, CHEAT, N' STEAL
Learn like an artist: from the pros! This doesn't mean completely imitating what they do, this means looking at what they do, analyzing it, -understanding- what's being done, and then making use of this knowledge in one's own work. Don't trace, draw!

Also see "reverse engineering", that is, trying to imitate a build as closely as possible to gain the aforementioned understanding of the techniques used in its construction.

> WING IT
Who cares? Go wild like TLG wants you to.

>>5737900
Pretty great, anon. Ingenious use of the backpacks to get the slopes to line up perfect.

>>5737893
There's links to helpful websites in the googledocs in the op.

Practice techniques that you arent familiar with.

Learn the measurements of the bricks.

Reverse-engineer other peoples work.

>>5737902
>>5737905
I've tried all that

is it possibler lego just isn't for me?

>>5737911
I pity you.
Now sell someone your bricks.

>>5737916
n-no

>>5737911
What do you mean you tried all that? Those exercises aren't something you try once then decide it's not worth the time any more. You won't become a master builder overnight and if you're not willing to put in the effort then you deserve to forever wallow in your self-pity and mediocrity.

>>5737916
Is that a reason people sell their bricks? They're not creative enough?

Is that what they actually mean when they write "need more space" or "the wife is upset"?

>>5737935
"I need more space[ for other hobbies I'm good at]."
"The wife is upset[ that I can't satisfy her building needs]."

>>5737924
>guys, should I quit :(
>if you're gonna then give someone that plastic crack
>noooo ;_;

Now lookahere. I posted >>5737916 because if you're not gonna try then you deserve to lose it all, but >>5737927 is right in his assessment. Exercises, both with building and drawing, aren't things you try once and then drop, and similarly they aren't things you stop doing. You practice and acknowledge your mistakes, and you study and learn. If you're gonna say "I tried and failed" then the answer to your question will obviously be to give your bricks to someone who can make use of them.

Same deal with drawing. You hate what you make? Welcome to the club. This shit is common.

>>5738005
Idea- give her some oversize pigtails with bows, those "ears" are begging for it.

If you need an alternative, a cheese slope with appropriate "hair" could do. The head you have now could also be very receptive to a medley of the 1x2 roof slopes, which'd make slightly bigger faces, but faces nonetheless.

>>5738014
Was going to try a bob-cut, but I'll see if u can make pigtail addons. I'm really not sure what to do for eyes. Single eye, or two, or a visor of some sort?

>>5738019
If i can* sorry, on mobile

>>5738019
Most of the time when people go for the tooth piece they treat it like it's the entirety of the face, with the stud being covered by the hair.

Most of the time I don't worry about eyes, simple or eyeless faces are enough. Alternatively, you could go for a Letranger Absurde type face which would immediately be recognizable and still have features, but that'd be a tad harder to integrate with your current neck assembly.

Campers are okay too. I like campers.

I only just got back into the bricks myself and most of what I've bought so far has been plain ol' City vehicles to combine with my handful of old parts I have on hand and lack of space/tripod, because vehicles are the #1 thing I've always built out of Lego and holy cow I would have killed to have most of these pieces back when I was a kid. Trans-brown 6x3 windshields? My dick has never been harder.

Would have liked to have gotten back in a bit earlier to get the snow plow and camper van, but hey, better late than never, right?

What's a good way to get back into building? Recommended sets? Places to buy besides that bricklink site?

I'm a big fan of Mixels for getting back into things. Cheap sets with lots of potential. Grab all three in a tribe and build something!

Clearly it's landing platform should be made of a multitude of leg-like supports that it sets down on.

Has anyone actually managed to build a legitimate (as in not crappy bootleg) army of clones in a single era of lego? I only ask because looking at my mishmash of clone troopers from different lines which are all a little different is threatening to trigger my autism.

>>5738688
Are you asking which style of Clone Trooper has been most abundant in sets?

>>5738691
I guess so, but also does anyone have tips on how to unify them?

I've been swapping torsos, so the clone wars ones have the old phase 3 chests, and generally been avoiding using the phase 3 helmets, but after recently picking up the LAAT/i microfighter with the new helmet print clone pilot I can't help but feel that now my 2 LAAT/i pilots don't match...

>the LAAT/i microfighter with the new helmet print
This one, right? Apparently he's only ever been in the Microfighter set. Unless you're cool with purchasing multiples of that Microfighter, maybe put him aside for now.

After doing some Brickset digging, it looks like the most abundant version of Phase I trooper is indeed the Clone Wars version, with at least fourteen specimens of the vanilla design, five who simply have armor parts on, and a dozen color varieties. If you have a lot of those, it should be simple enough to keep them as is.

If you wanted help in reorganizing the clones you already have, maybe you should share pics.

>>5738706
It's actually this one. I have got a lot of Clone Wars troopers, simply because I really like the Phase I armour. And as I said, I've had some success mixing and matching torsos between clones.

Really a lot of this has come about because I've been wanting to start or at least work towards building a Republic Cruiser hanger/interior, just something to actually bring my army/collection together. I might just split helmet designs into Phase 1 on the LAAT/i, and phase 2 on the AT-TE/elsewhere. Since I have roughly enough phase 1 clone wars variants to fill my gunship.

>>5738717
I only have one for me that I opened. All the rest are for giveaways.

If you're thinking that I screwed a bunch of kids out of their minifigs, it seems like I'm the only one in the region who's interested in them, because I was still finding full boxes of S12s long after Series 14 had come out. I even helped a few kids find their own spoopies when I was looking for other figs.

Eventually it just got to the point where whenever I was at Target I would just grab a couple of SGs for the giveaway pile because the boxes didn't seem to be emptying. It was only around March that I finally stopped seeing S12s.

Right now they're still drowning in the Halloween wave.

Trying to reverse engineer stuff we see on lego games has always been a pointless effort to me because of that.

I like how everyone's favorite Lego Movie fact is some variation of "You can buy all the Lego pieces you see in the movie! They are all real!"

>>5738816
Nope, the only part I know that isn't real is the big ass wheel on Wyldstyle's orange bike. In the real set they used a 32 tooth gear, but in the movie it looks like a 64+ tooth gear.

>>5738824
There were also various parts from Metalbeard's body that don't actually exist. I remember some people here tried to replicate the model based on the early screener recordings of the movie back when i came out.
It seems like they didn't bother to keep trying byt the time the proper bluray got in stores.

Can you recreate the Treehouse instead? If there's a chance we get a full Adv Time theme, that model has the most likelihood of being an actual set.

>>5738940
not necessarily, but i wouldn't be surprised if it gets turned into a theme like minecraft was, since it's so big with kids

>>5738940

Well they did the Doctor Who set along with Dimensions. The timeline isn't exactly comparable though.

>>5739268
Well, if you want a buttload of white bricks, then sure.

Other than that, there's the Classic-buckets but those can be a bit limited in variety, there's Bricklink and PAB walls if you want some random bobs, or you could just buy a set you like and mess around with it. 3-in-1 Creator sets are great for this. Just don't buy something that has like 3 different cars or planes. Go for variety.

There is an analysis of that set in particular at New Elementary: http://www.newelementary.com/2013/07/like-virgin.html

One other tip is buying two small sets rather than one larger set. That way, you have an even number of every brick in the set. That was in the context of building mechs though.

>>5739268
>What would /lg/ suggest to me if I want to start fresh with bricks?
Just buy an unsorted eBay lot. There are always plenty of sellers with "5 lbs of blue Lego bricks", "10 lbs of white Lego bricks", etc.

You'll get a lot more crack for your stack than you would buying a retail box.

Hopefully they'll bring out new versions of them in X years like they usually do (i.e. old campervan to new campervan, Car + Camper to Minivan + Camper, the two garbage trucks, etc), but this time the old designs were definitely better and I doubt they'll be making a new snow truck period, especially a Unimog styled one.

are you lego quest guy? I'm just wondering if there is any lego quest adventures on this weekend, or if there is a thread already done that I can ready. I really enjoyed the last one i read, which was like 2 weeks ago or something, they ended up drinking sake in the dojo lol

Thanks anon! There will hopefully be a new episode tonight. It seems like you missed the fourth episode of The Man With the Red Pants, but it's archived here:

neat, im glad i asked. it's almost midnight here, so this is perfect as I enjoy reading the adventure before bed :) I remember those reeds you did in one scene were perfect, it's the little things like that which I love.

>tfw considering buying the forest maiden torso (reissue of course, no one is selling the vintage one)
>would need to swap the arms if I want it to work with an idea I have

But I don't know. What I'm planning to do with it would require way too much effort and even then it wouldn't look 100% accurate.

I have one if you want me to attempt it and post results.

>>5740998
Nah, no need. I can sorta imagine what it would look like.

So, locals store digged up a pile of these and asks for 20€. Is it worth it?

Apparently MSRP was 28€ or so.

>>5741005
Is that 1x6 panel map a sticker or a print

>>5741014
Never mind, I zoomed in. I wouldn't pay more than 20€ for it to begin with. Minidoll sets seem overpriced compared to other in-house lines.

>>5740989
>>5740999
What exactly are you planning to do with such a lewd torso?

>>5741005
Trans clear windshields look so weird.

>>5741005
Its a very weak set, no wonder noone wanted it.

>>5740868
sure thing, where should i upload it?

Waifufagging, what else?

I was considering Marge's skirt from simpsons-house. My biggest issue right now is that whether I should use light aqua short sleeves (most accurate but third shade of green which would just look messy) or normal green sleeves.

I wouldn't use the forest maiden torso. Based off your picture, this one seems like a good fit.

>>5741028
You could use skirt from pretzel girl. It's still different shade, but not as jarring as sudden blob of lime

>>5741028

You guys are all forgetting about Lower Body, Sea Witch with Tentacles. By far the biggest chest is on a lower body.

can anyone tell me how "dark orange" annas hair is from the newest(i think) frozen set?
the bricklink pictures are either shit, or on a carpet and badly lit
really i just want to know if its actually orange, or pretty much brown like in the minifigs picture

Well, if you have a single Geonosian battle droid, it should be exactly that shade.

am i retarded, or are the only lego plungers both from cmf shit?
has there literally never been a plunger in any set with a bathroom?
how do lego people unclog their toilets when they brick them up?

Does portapotty count?

>>5741249
I fucking love that set.

>>5741096
I got a scientist's flask with no color in it once. I was actually p stoked.

>>5741253
TLM 2 in 1 sets are all fucking based. Except maybe the castle-one.

I regret so much not getting the ice cream van and the plumbing car wasn't sold here.

>>5741249
good i am retarded then. i figured there was a brickbuilt one or two, but looking for plunger only has willie and cmf plumber

>>5741258
Yeah, I got them all. Even the castle one was pretty awesome, fitting with the castle theme at the time.

>>5741259
To be honest, I didn't even remember that it was brick-built. I just knew it had a plunger.

>>5741238
And the belly is pretty good, too!

There's a City set with a portajohn, too, but no plunger to be seen.

>>5741268
they'll just jackhammer the clog out

>>5741238
If only it were a piece like Cat Lady's tail and not one huge mass. It'd be so much more useful overall.

>>5741271
There isn't even a drain to be clogged!

>>5741249 is making improper use of a plunger!

>>5741279
they're jackhammering a drain to get clogged first

They're bretty gud

It really grinds my gears that new BL doesn't care about my max quantities and prices I've set on my wanted list.

Before it was perfect. If the store had too little of a part I want or too expensive, it didn't show unless I wanted it to. Now it just shows everything.
