    So I finally got a chance to play around with my bricks! :o As most of you know i got myself few sets to mess around. So I DID!
    This is just building like good old times when i was a kid. No planing, just stick 2 bricks together and see where it will get you!
    I know it might be "crap", but keep in mind i got a very limited amount of parts for this and it is my first moc since i came out of dark age! :o

    Good job! I see some nice touches there like the....um... angle plates on the sides! Exhaust pipes are a nice touch too. Whats the story with the yellow headlights? Jap import?:D

    try the 1x1 SNOT block (Studs Not On Top) in black and attach the clear round 1x1 plate. In my minds eye it looks like those angel eye lights. In reality it could be very different though....

    Looks pretty good!

    I've built a few houses of my own design over the past year or so. I must post a couple of pics up.

    Good effort!

    I know the thing is "all over the shop", but it is a lot of fun, just to build using stuff you got and see what sort of thing will turn out. :)

    Originally I wanted to make it 8 stud wide, but then realised that the only axles I got are way too long for 8 stud. So lets try wide arch conversions so! :D then I realised that I am runing very low on parts so decided to use all those windows too. Made a nice touch.

    I know this moc is not as nice or good then majority stuff out there, but for me it was a way to get to feel bricks and new technics again. A lot of these new bricks I never owned as a child so I needed to experiment and see what can I do with them.

    Maybe we need a thread where we can post out small mocs? Not the fancy big ones, but something we do for fun and on the fly?
