You might consider making some panels to cast and reproduce to make your life a little easier. (detail once... Cast a crapload... add minor detail tweaks such as posters, bullet hits, etc done... )

I made a few simple panels for building up some very basic ruins (with Hirstarts tile floors) Here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/391231.page

Hahaha! Sorry about that. Correcting drafting errors is my actual job. Those typos just jump out at me! I'll be better, I swear!

Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural? I was an associate engineer for a year, drafting Verizon FiOs fiber optic networks. It was the most boring job of my entire life.

Surveying actually. I "get" to review every land survey that is filed with our County.

Sounds like a blast. Hey, bet your really good at building table tops. LOL


BTW, loved the Defiler/Rhino conversion. Tried scratching out a Defiler and failed. I have learned a lot since then though and will probably try again.

I haven't made terrain yet, but I SOOO want too! If I do, I want it to have Topographic elevation lines! LOL..

And the Defiler/rhino conversion is now being restored to a rhino. I bought a defiler after all. It looks way better than I could have done.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Vik. We get it. Chaos not tolerated. I'm bringing the whole Warp to your back yard, dude.

mate... look at the seal... it is not the =I= but the =L= of the league of extraordinary riveters... it was meant to jake for his lack of self confidence to make a rhino a suitable working defiler... he can do it if he choose to do so^^... that was my point... choas or loyal... as long as there is riveting... i am all friendly^^

Blah Blah Blah, self-confidence, yadda yadda yadda!
Ok, so maybe I could do it if I wanted to, but I don't think I could the amount of detail on it that the defiler model does before I lost interest.

Also, sorry for the League Heresy, I'll watch what I say from now on!

*raises eyebrow* the watchful eye is upon ye! heed the warnings!

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLOLHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I JUST NOTICED THE "L"!!!!! THAT'S FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, that hit a funny bone.

I agree, though, about the defiler/rhino. I thought it was looking bad butt. Although, now that I think about it I would have used rectangular tubing on the legs....

Inspiration flash just happened. Defiler is back on the build list.....WOOOHOOOO!!




Ok, I am done, this will get it's own thread in about two months.

...for a minute i thought you guys were angry about my seal...

Nope, Seal is cool!

Defiler back on the list! Yay!

I have some ideas in mind to try to get mine to look cool. First thing is to not have the head on the top. It's just silly, that's where the Berzerker goes! LOL

cool idea to use those joints from bionicles and lego techno...i like that idea...that is bound for awesomeness!

That does indeed look cool!

So, don't take offense at this picture, I couldn't help myself!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




That isn't funny.













Yes it is. Thanks.

LOL, I'm glad you thought it was funny too!

What you have there is already more detail than I had planned to put into mine. That is really looking sweet!

Thank you, and to think I had given up on it.

lol... that was a quick one^^

@ mxwllmdr- Hey, thanks for the compliments. The foam is insulating foam (Owens Corning). I didn't use Jesso, I used regular black latex paint on first coat, sprinkle some sand on it just before it is totally dry and then brush on 2nd coat, evens things out and gives it that slightly gritty look. The burnt craters are exactly that- burnt. I used a propane torch to melt the foam. I *STRONGLY* recommend doing that OUTSIDE. The stench is foul and the fumes can cause cancer in lab rats a mile away.

I got all those Necromunda plates by buying 2 sets of the core game when it came out a million years ago, plus Outlanders and GorkaMorka and eBay and who knows what else. eBay sometimes has really good deals on them, but more frequently not. The last bunch I bought were mislabeled and I picked up as part of a random lot of junk, there just happened to be 8 of these in it.

By the way... when DSG sees that you have cut up Legos for your Defiler project he's likely going to ban you for life then hunt you down and beat you mercilessly with his VW hippy bus.

I know about the Lego fetish. I defend my blasphemy by saying that they are Bionicle pieces that my children have outgrown. I do not now and have never considered Bionicles to be Legos, well, not really anyway. Not the kind that deserve respect and long term care and attention.

And you're welcome. I got into this hobby trying to build terrain in the first place and got challenged to build Titans. I really want to do a nice sewer table with a huge gothic Imperium Church (Basilica?). That's why I gravitated towards DST's threads to begin with.

totally second that...techno and bionicle don´t have the soul and warmth lego otherwise provides...

...

I don't think I can be friends with either of you anymore. Bionicle is awesome and I have a huge collection of them with my son. I started buying them for "him" when he was 3.

Wow. Really? You guys don't like Bionicle?

That deserves another one. Shame on you both.

Don't get me wrong, I had hundreds and hundreds of hours of quality time with my sons over the bionicles but I am bitter about them because it is a direct result of bionicles that my sons never gained the love of regular Legos that I have. But if it means that much to you then I will bring you something back from LegoLand Florida when I go in October 2012.

Nice seal, btw. Don't go blaspheming against the League, though, or they will come for you.

I would never defame the LoER. I hope to qualify for membership myself someday.

Ditto on that, dude....

lol... like the seal... you do realize that by creating a new seal you are a internet VIP instantly?^^

also...i didn´t say i don´t like it... many parts looks quite cool... when assembled the whole models just look akward to me... i need more "flesh" to a model than most models provide by bionicles... it is too much seethrough for my taste... like a construction work... you assemble a model and when you are done it still looks as if it waits that you complete it...you know what i mean?

oh... and we are discussing new members in the inner circle...

Yeah, I know what you mean. The skin and bones effect was a little disturbing.

My son's watched all the movies and the story was ok, too.

I liked the VW Hippy Bus. It might not be so bad a way to die.

I find your blasphemy against LEGO disturbing......
