Other Lego Things I've Built

[deathproof]

Aha! That was you I saw on Youtube building the Lego R2-D2 - I recognize the dining room from the video. I was checking out some time-lapse Lego builds the other night and found one of yours.


Do you have a thread where you go over how you designed and built the Lego R2-D2?




One of my numerous projects I want to work on is a Lego model of my store... I don't think it should be too hard, it's not a very fancy building. I just keep forgetting to take a few photos of it, plus there's a big tree out front that makes it more difficult to photograph.

If you look at my threads there's a build thread for L3-G0, however he's also got a blog at http://L3-G0.com that may have more info...  A store would be way easier than that.  Just measure the size and scale up or down, but stores are usually square, which helps a lot in Lego!  Hint would be to find out what size Lego doors or windows are available and choose that scale.  Parts are usually purchased from http://bricklink.com, way cheaper than from Lego.... Good luck!

Thanks - I have used Bricklink before. I bought a big lot of Legos and slowly re-assembled the sets but discovered a few pieces missing here and there.

After I had gone through all the manuals that came with the lot it got to be more like forensics work... I'd have to find a piece that was unusual, look up the part number on Peeron.com, and find the set that used that color piece. I rebuilt a couple dozen sets that way.

I've been checking Ebay once in a while for a similar auction but haven't found the right - er... "fit" yet. And I'm sure you're aware of how expensive some of those Lego lots can be.
