LAML Discussion Forums Welcome to the new LAML forums. We are still testing things out but we will be reopening again soon... http://forum.laml.org/index.php Sat, 19 May 2012 21:36:04 +0300 Phorum 5.2.7 http://forum.laml.org/read.php?7,442,442#msg-442 Technic Counter Attack Episode http://forum.laml.org/read.php?7,442,442#msg-442
Regardless of whether or not you are interested, here is some feedback on the first episode.

First thing is the English. Peer Kreuger had great English and I had no problem at all understanding him. Jerner Krmelj was OK. And Tuomas, I hate to say it, but your English has to be improved if you are to keep up as a host. Not trying to be critical or anything, just calling it the way I hear it. :)

Second is promotion, you/we need to find a way to promote the show if you plan on doing more episodes. The simple thing is, I can't put something like this into the feed as Technic is too different from system building. That means that listeners will have to choose to download the episode and I don't think too many of the current listeners will. So far, it has been downloaded 40 times. Not bad I guess, but the one I uploaded a few days ago already has 300+. What we need to do is bring Technic fans in from other sources. If you are interested in doing more I have a few ideas on how we can get this out to Technic fans.]]> Jamit LAMLradio Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:27:47 +0300 http://forum.laml.org/read.php?1,437,437#msg-437 Spam Attack http://forum.laml.org/read.php?1,437,437#msg-437 Jamit Information Fri, 17 Sep 2010 01:39:26 +0300 http://forum.laml.org/read.php?7,436,436#msg-436 Bandwidth Watch http://forum.laml.org/read.php?7,436,436#msg-436
Unfortunately, with this change I was forced to upload some images to the LAML server. The files sizes of all these images are low (under 100kb, average of 60kb I would guess) but they are still larger sizes than the simple text we have had in the past. Hopefully this isn't a problem, but I wanted to create this thread to make you (TheQ) aware of what has happened and in case it becomes a problem, we can discuss it here.

"Chong Tian (Rising Force) is defender of the mysterious valleys of King's Wall mountains. This mystical 'lord of the air' is god from tales of the local people, who appears as a huge shadow for those who dare to enter his kingdom."

Mecha built on Brian Cooper's TEKNOMEKA isntructions but with custom-built armour. Made for Palikkatakomo's Model Expo 2010 event. I had to choose to build either big mecha or SHIP and since I am lazy bastard, I went with mecha with TEKNOMEKA instructions.

"Kobold is light fighter plane which is suited best for protecting your precious carge from airpirates and moon creatures. As small and agine ship it is often used to defend large cargo-airships but because it's weak armanent and light defences, it is not often seen in larger battles."

My ventures into realm of Dieselpunk continue. Kobold started as a "educational project" after I recieved quite many questions from younger Finnish builders. They wanted to know certain details of my "building process" so I thought I might go and write more about the process in a blog. After nine blog messages (the last, 10th, is coming soon), tale of Kobold has been told from the first ideas and [link=http://www.doscher-design.com/kobold.html]inspiration[/link] to image post-processing and publishing.

"The moment everyone has been waiting for has finally come! The v16 engine of the new airship design is finally ready and final check-ups have been completed. The moment becomes more special when representatives from Royal Army and Academy of Gear have the final meeting with the owner of the workshop."

Idea of the workshop started when I heard my LUG, Palikkatakomo, could get some showroom from LEGOPark event at the largest mall of Finland, Ideapark. Since I knew the cabinets TLG would give us were rather big, I thought that I should use the space in best possible way. I had built few building before but I had never done any work in the indoor area of them so I thought that it might be interesting to build a "diorama" showing the inside of a engine workshop. I added in dieselpunk with "art deco" since I wanted to explore that style as well.

Since you are looking for pieces from NXT sets, I think that best way to start your journey to Bricklink (It can be rather odd place from time to time) is to check the set inventories for NXT sets by click the "(inv)" link next to the set. From there you can find the piece you are looking for and check which stores have it and how much it costs. And yes, Bricklink is awesome place.

As for the stuff we (James and I) build, I am mostly interested in TECHNIC and scifi themes and James.. Well, I haven't seen his creations for a while but he is more of Star Wars guy.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3496242269_8ba4a816e3_m.jpg

Sisu NA-110 is (according to Wikipedia) articulated all-terrain transport that is mostly used in the Finnish Army. I have few personal experiences with this machine fron my own military time. "Teka" or "rickety-rack-box" is rather nice vehicle that moves in the Finnish forest quite nicely smashing bushes and small trees as it goes.

Last year I built TT-75 (WIP threads here and here) which was my first "better" TECHNIC creation. While it was rather OK for me, it's slowness and few technical details made me mad. I decided that my next TECHNIC creations should be fast, agile and "fool proof". I first tried to make a small rally car but the scale I chose proved to be wrong choice: I simply didn't have space for proper inner workings...

Well, after rally car/Eagle 3 went back to drawing board, I wanted to try something else. Our LUGs first public show at Model Expo 2009 was coming along quickly and I chose to complete my creation by then. After watching some old pictures at my Flickr-account, I noticed the picture I took from real "tekas". Teka's design looked rather straight-forward and most importantly, it had inner space to fit Power Functions-parts inside. After few R&D weeks, I was making the creation quickly and I was able to complete before the Expo.

More pictures at Flickr and Brickshelf (after moderation).

PS: I am very proud of the teka's steering, which is really similar to the one used in the real thing :)]]> TheQ MOCs Sun, 03 May 2009 16:07:09 +0300 http://forum.laml.org/read.php?5,201,213#msg-213 Re: Pick-a-Brick Correction http://forum.laml.org/read.php?5,201,213#msg-213 Murphy]]> Murphy LEGO News Sun, 03 May 2009 16:02:02 +0300 http://forum.laml.org/read.php?5,157,212#msg-212 Re: 10194 Emerald Night Train http://forum.laml.org/read.php?5,157,212#msg-212

I am rather sure that TLG had to spend some money to get minifigs to the game.

I just wondering if TLG spends all the extra profit to different lisences (Disney must have costed a lot)? Seems that they are just trying to gather new customers while the old customers still have problems with TLG itself. Online PaB might be one of the best services that TLG has started recently and look how bad that is going. The list of the parts is miniscule and the prices are, compared to BL, rather high. They should improve that service instead of getting their hands on more deals...]]> TheQ LEGO News Tue, 21 Apr 2009 22:00:24 +0300 http://forum.laml.org/read.php?5,208,208#msg-208 Lego Rock Band revealed http://forum.laml.org/read.php?5,208,208#msg-208
