Very nice mini model! After comparing it to the original Lunar Limo, I think it would look even better with the following changes: Put a trans-yellow 3x2 plate with Hole (3176) in place of the current trans-yellow elements, and extend the black roof to cover the whole plate. Change the gold 1x1 slope to a gold 1x1 tile.

BrickFair Virginia Party Crowdfunding Campaign
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
I second Meiko's question, but I'd prefer my BZPower name in the credits. Also, may I please see a picture of the engraved brick? -Toa Of Justice -
Click any image for a larger picture. Tinker Bell is an extremely popular character, originally created by J. M. Barrie, and currently owned by the Walt Disney Company. I believe fans of Disney and LEGO would love to build this rendition of her. In my concept model, her arms, legs, head, and wings can be moved to achieve various poses. I had thought about buying the pieces to build Tinker Bell in real life, but most of her 199 pieces do not yet exist in the colors I chose--such as the Light Nougat (a.k.a. Light Flesh) in her head, arms, and legs. If my concept of Tinker Bell were to be produced, it might be possible to use Brick Yellow (a.k.a. Tan), a more common color, in place of Light Nougat. However, after trying that in LEGO Digital Designer, I noticed that Tinker Bell's skin looked unnatural. In real life, Brick Yellow might look better than it does in LEGO Digital Designer. While designing my concept, I tried to preserve a realistic appearance while still allowing for movement of joints. The arms and head were especially challenging. Although my concept has brick-built eyes, I think custom decals would look better. Feel free to inspect my concept in LEGO Digital Designer. Here is the posed model, and here is a straight standing version. Please vote for my concept on LEGO Ideas. If you have friends and/or relatives that might like this model, please tell them to sign up and vote for it too. Thank you in advance for your support! -Toa Of Justice

Happy Independence Day! I made a flag in LEGO Digital Designer for the occasion. -Toa Of Justice

This is an American Flag MOC I made in LDD. There is a display stand hidden behind the main model. The 2x3 plates with holes are for hanging this MOC from a wall if it were to be built in real life.Click the picture below for a larger picture, and click here to download the LXF file.This MOC is dedicated to all fighters for independence--past, present, and future.-Toa Of Justice

Actually, no. I would advise you to do a web search. You should find it easily. It's just we have rules about that sort of thing, but videos are easy enough to find on the web. I found it. Thanks. To me, the voice actors sound like those from the movies. And I look forward to confronting the Destroyer using the many powers available in the game! -Toa Of Justice

The link on the front page has an extra backslash on the end of it. Deleting the backslash worked for me, but the link in this topic worked fine for me without any modifications. -Toa Of Justice -
Become a Part of The LEGO Movie

The link to the PDF file doesn't work for me. EDIT: Thanks for fixing the link, Black Six! -Toa Of Justice -
Nice work! I especially like the string lights. Are they just wrapped around the tree, or are they attached to the tree in some way (e.g., studs)? -Toa Of Justice

New Cryoshell Song Hits iTunes
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
--------- I was disappointed as well, but I just used a standard credit card to buy the song from iTunes. Based on my experience, it seems there is no need to have money in an iTunes account prior to buying music. -Toa Of Justice EDIT: I fixed my post to make the quoted post stand out more. -
Set Review: 6231 Speeda Demon
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
I like Speeda Demon quite a bit, but I was also bothered by the lack of a kickstand, so I added one to my set.-Toa Of Justice -
I realize that some people are disappointed with Speeda Demon's motorbike because it lacks a kickstand, among other things. Here is my idea for a kickstand, as well as footpegs, sturdier exhaust outlets, and taillights.Click any image for a much larger version of it.Speeda admires his newly modified motorbike.The motorbike by itself.Close-up of the modifications.This is how I mounted the modifications.Here are the parts I used. The ones boxed in green do not come with the set.Speeda enjoying his newly modified motorbike.VRROOOMMMM!-Toa Of JusticeEDIT: I almost forgot a link to the Brickshelf gallery.

Set Review: 6222 Core Hunter
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
You're welcome. Chances are that by the time Core Hunter is about to remove a Hero Core, the Hero in question would already be on the ground in defeat. -Toa Of Justice -
Set Review: 6222 Core Hunter
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
Hey Gatanui, I think I have an idea for making Core Hunter's core remover more effective. Unfortunately, I don't have Core Hunter, but I tried it using Jetbug's pincers and it seems to work. I inserted the pincers in between the core and the torso armor, like this:The shape of the pincers caused the core to lift away from the torso armor after I pinched them together. It takes some effort, but the core eventually comes off. I would recommend pinching close to the core rather than far from it, due to the pincers' tendency to flex.-Toa Of Justice -
Thanks very much for that--it works great!-Toa Of Justice

I noticed an RSS icon on the sidebar... does that mean it's now (or will soon be) possible to subscribe to a BZP news feed? I tried using the RSS button in Internet Explorer 9, but it didn't seem to find the news feed--only feeds for the calendar and the blogs.-Toa Of Justice

Hero Creator Now Updated
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
Although I have enjoyed using the new Hero Creator, it could use some major improvement. For me, the lack of available parts is minor compared to the lack of reliability. The new Hero Creator crashed at least 5 times while I was using it. In the meantime, I just have to remember to save my work often, and try not to make more than a dozen or so changes at a time. The inconvenience of having to return to the Hero Creator many times while incrementally updating my creation is far better than suddenly losing all of my work after making many changes.Of course, there's always LDD, but that software doesn't have the Toxic Reapa head element or the automatic posing options.-Toa Of Justice -
Set Review: 9443 Rattlecopter
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
Ah, that explains why the blades are slanted. I thought that was just for style, since most helicopters I know of start off with straight blades, then tilt them forward if needed. (I used some hinge elements to enable tilting on my Rattlecopter.) So, that's why they were loose! Of course, now that I've added landing gear to my Rattlecopter and mounted the fangs on friction pins, that feature doesn't quite work anymore. The fangs can still move though, just not automatically.-Toa Of Justice -
Set Review: 9443 Rattlecopter
Toa_Of_Justice replied to Hapori Tohu's topic in BZPower.com News Discussion
As an owner of the Rattlecopter, I think it's a great set, perhaps even one of my favorite sets of all time. I even made some modifications for certain portions of the main model.-Toa Of Justice -
