After screwing up the hips, I had another set of parts printed to do the cones on the inside of the hips.Unfortunately, I did not get the usual guy who does my printing at Kinko's. I got some gum-chewing coed who was more interested in talking to that totally hunky guy who came in after me, and...

I hope they get found! I have plans for the staff weapon.

Great work! What did you make the stand from?

"A Horus Guard, Serpent Guard, and Seth Guard meet on a neutral planet. The atmosphere is tense. The Horus Guard's beak gleams, the Serpent Guard's eyes flash, and the Seth Guard's...nose drips. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" These are awesome! My boys and I are Stargate fans, they're going to demand I make...

Amen, bgt01! Excellent work!

WOW. That's an amazing piece of work! Not just the sheer size, but the detail is amazing. Do you do all your drafting by hand, or are you working from a pattern? What would you estimate the scale of the barge to be?

That looks great! I really like the details you're adding.

Tonight we put shoes on the wee beastie. I'm not sure if you'd call them feet, or not, but clown shoes seems to work. Compared to other mechs I've built, I think this one has to rank near the top as far as leg strength and stability. But we'll see when we start adding body parts... This is the...

Hmm. I'm running Vista Home Premium and it works fine. Although it did seem a little slow last time, but it might be because the design I was working on was huge.

You're welcome for the hole punch idea. I'm glad it helps. This is one incredible model!

SO here's what we've accomplished in the last couple of days. It seemed like I cut out parts for hours, glued them into blocks, and he glued them together in about 5 minutes. All the inner leg parts and hips: And all the inner legs glued together. The hip shafts are pushed into place at the...

I haven't printed it yet. I actually do all my printing at Kinko's. Better results, and it doesn't take all the ink out of my little desktop printer. But with that advice, I think I'll go see what I have in my change jar (Kinko's is actually much cheaper if you bring your own paper, BTW)

Have you ever played with Lego Digital Designer? For a free CAD program, it's pretty powerful. It will even take a design you make with it, and print up step-by-step instructions, either in PDF or HTML. It even creates a parts list and allows you to order the parts directly from Lego. Thanks...

Thanks! Not sure what I'll do next...

My boys love to play with Legos! Makes walking into their room like walking in a field of caltrops, but I really can't imagine better toys for a kid. They will love this when they see it! Nice work.

That looks great! Did you design it with Lego Digital Designer first, or just build it like a boss?

That's the one! I have it downloaded, but I wanted to practice on a few models and finish a project or two before I started it. Warhawk is the proper name. I forgot that, which is odd, since the IKV Warhawk is a black ops Klingon Bird of Prey I have sitting right above my desk...(Plastic, not paper)

Ohhh....just wait til I get to the Thunder! BTW, have you ever built Paper-Replika's Hawk fighter? That was THE ship for me growing up, and since it matches everything else I'm building, I plan on getting it printed off one of these days.

About the time the paint was drying on the Prowler's wheels, my oldest reminded me that I promised him we'd start his MAC II. JP was nice enough to send me his recolored version in tan, along with integrating a shark's teeth and eyes instead of the cutesie ones on the original. (It's the...

I always lived with the idea that "anything can be used as a weapon," along with "you can do anthing, if you're willing to live with the consequences." I figured the last one out in high school...and consequently, spent some time in detention, assigned seats on the school bus, and so on. I had...
