Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
For my money, the printed instructions are a nice base-layer for steps, and in 98% of the instances carried me to the next step without a second glance.…

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
Good to hear! But I confess I'm curious as to the "why" part of it giving you trouble. (Still need to get it opened up; darn day job proving to be a distraction in that they expect me to work…

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation
@Manuel Díaz I *think* I did -- but turned out I mixed up the lantern lights (I was either confused, or had consumed too much caffeine and candy) AND my placement of the A15 wasn't quite flawless.…

Re: Question - How to take care of your Brickstuff products for dummies
@Rob Klingberg @Benoit Robert I like the #2 - storage boxes notion. Probably way smarter than what I use to organize my BrickStuff gear: just mixed together in a dresser drawer in the anti-static…

Re: Friends Hot Dog Cart
Oh, you mean figuratively. ;) It looks like it'd be a 2x 1x6 plate inside and 2x 1x4 outside (to follow the curve of the coil), without having to modify two 2x6 plates to accommodate the wheels. ...…

Re: Friends Hot Dog Cart
And I finally peeled myself off the chair to look at the cart: flat bottom (whew!). It's got the 2x12? plate running the length, and a step up of a single plate on either side between the wheels,…

Re: Friends Hot Dog Cart
Duh - darn metric conversions (that I didn't mentally do). 44 MM = 4.4 CM = ~1 3/4 inches. While the cart is strictly speaking wide enough (6 dots is roughly, exactly, 1 3/4 inches),…

Re: Disney LEGO Castle # 71040 - Exterior light installation

Re: 4 Channel Controller with the 3-button remote?
And don't under-sell the potential range of the remote -- with three controllers in the room (think triangle; two are 2 feet apart, the third point is 10 feet away),…

Re: Creator Ferris wheel # 10247
@Rob Klingberg My pleasure! I was halfway ponder if the wires being, say, an inch shorter would help - at least, less to tangle away. But I've not yet delved (or dove) into the Technic parts of what…

Version 1 wire placement, but I'll be cleaning it up a bit nicer before dropping this gem back into the "park." But high-level... I plugged into a plug nearest the center/hub of the wheel,…

Re: Creator Ferris wheel # 10247

Re: Creator Ferris wheel # 10247

Best long-wire ideas?

In my infinite wisdom, I've got the carnival land (working title: Liberty Park) on a 8-foot x 30-inch oblong-ish table top. That was my first mistake, but we won't solve that here.…
