Its lunch time... When my boss suddeny show up at the door,  maybe curious why so loud.  As usual lah.  My friend and i if sembang sure dont care the surrounding..  And then she walk straight to the corner of my room and then she ask :

"i know you love lego a lot but is this also from original lego?"

She point her finger like this and then all laugh maniacally.

Dear all, I give some early concept of Lego Kampung House with two different roof style. This design is based on my grandfathers home in the kampung last time, built over 60 years ago.
simple roof, simple walls

Well, nowadays there are girls that are very materialistic (no offense no any ladies wink.gif )... and I got hooked one... I dun need them to spend their money on my hobbies... and yet they complain... jeezz
Actually without her nagging, I felt more happy playing Lego...

mate, you must really love her. either that, you're scared of her, cos you're letting her dictate your every move. i'm sorry if this offends you, and i don't mean to pry. But it's your hard earned money, you choose how you wanna spend it. And it's not like you don't spend any on her, she's a very lucky girl. in fact I would guess that you spend most on her and kept only some for yourself. I would understand if she is your wife. Maybe she wants it all for her, that's why she's nagging so much. She's lucky you're not wasting your money gambling or on booze and other women. You're just buying Lego & toys. She's got no right to dictate your spending. I'm a girl, and even I think however she's treating you is wrong. Again, I'm sorry, but i think if it's too much work, and you can't be yourself, and too much sacrifice, it's just not worth. Or she'd better be your one in a million or something.

dont worry about the green, u can add some parts from Friends set to make it nicer  icon_rolleyes.gif

Haunted house is a very beautiful set. It's the first set made to look runned down, abandoned and in ruins. It's my most favourite one, and I was going nuts when it was released on halloween 2012!
And managed to secure a set, built it over the weekend almost immediately.

One day, I might tear it down and probably use the green bricks to rebuild the green grocer tongue.gif

LOL. Well, I don't expect anyone to get me my Lego. I spend my own money for the things I love and want. I'm high maintenance for my own standards, I wish I was simpler and I wasn't into expensive toys and stuff. Cos it's really killing me... softly! tongue.gif

I did want to be an architect until i saw the course fees, duration of course, and the crapload of work that need to be done lol.
i do mock ups of my design in Lego Digital Designer. If it seems to work, i will go into detail and do it.
I render the design using LDD2POVRAY and POVRAY software. it takes forever on my PC, but a simple 800x600 jpg takes about 1 hour to render.
I then export the design file to Microsoft Access using a tool, to determine the parts i need.
Then masuk excel, order piece by piece via Bricklink stores. This is the longest and most painful process cos no one has exactly what i need. I think for my Penang house i ordered from more than 5 stores over a period of months.
it probably would be more popular if i wrote in proper english and bothered to take out my dslr but with a family, all i can carry around is my compact camera.
*
You've made a great choice there LOL.
Oh that's a lot of work! But i'm sure all your efforts paid off. Cos you're the only active MOC-er I know and I wish I could do the same with lego bricks but I haven't got supplies.

I'm trying out bricklink, putting each item in my wanted list and getting notified every 2 seconds it's starting to annoy me. I really don't know how to work this out. It's a tedious process, very tedious.
but I really wanna buy the parts for my "project". It's faster using excel, but i don't know how to do that; listing all the parts in excel to upload to bricklink. And, I don't know what Microsoft Access is for LOL.

I always looking for moc kaki to chatting ideas.

I dont use the Bricklink wanted list, i manage the parts myself.
I have a few stores as favourites who sell bulk parts, so i buy majority from them.
For the remaining pieces, no choice have to buy a few pcs, add in a minifig or two to make the purchase worthwhile.
You should install Lego Digital Designer to try out your ideas. Then if you want to build, export the file to MS Access (database program, comes with MS Office Pro).
Then from there export to excel and u will have a list of all d parts you need.
From there u can check out which seller on bricklink has most of the parts, order from them lor.
Or maybe, send me the parts list so when i order i will order for you as well if they have.

Care to share what idea of proect you have? Custom Modular?
*
Custom modular yes... maybe some apartment buildings. most importantly right now tho i want build the cafe corner... I know chaud advised me against this but i'm gonna substitute alot in terms of colours, probably change the whole colour scheme, so i'm hoping it will be a lot cheaper than following the original colours. if it works with the cafe corner, i will try rebuild the other 2 retired modulars. instead of buying ngam2 the parts, i order a bit extra la for most common parts, so while doing the CC i can also keep stock for future MOCs.

maybe i need your help for parts smile.gif or sourcing parts or bricklinking...

Hello sis! Good to see you! I ordered one set of 10232 Palace Cinema for myself... You can have it first if you like! Fire Brigade is also available for you if you want  wink.gif
I also wasn't aware of a CS for Death Star... Already ordered and now waiting for custom clearance.... whistling.gif

Oh yeah? drool.gif Can I maybe deal with you when the item arrives tho? I've ditched my wallet, no use lugging them around when there's nothing in there. I'm in the always-digging-for-spare-change kind of situation right now. We'll talk about it when the time comes.

Don't be disheartened with the price. It's a wonderful project! notworthy.gif plus, it's for memory's sake, no? And this is by far the best kampung house out of all you've tried out in LDD. I absolutely love the attention to details! You should be proud of yourself. Not many people can come out with this out of memory.

I also want!

QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Apr 16 2013, 03:35 PM)
Actually, I also want to ask about this... I think in last week's post it was discussed here that box of 30 is better than box of 60? Can someone please explain to me why is it better? I was on vacation and didn't get to follow the entire discussion... Thanks!

I reserve a few boxes of series 10 (box of 60) but need some advice and clarification, better amend order now if indeed box of 30 is better. They are the same price.
*
Chup! Chup! Haih... but this Series 10 surely make my pocket holes bigger.... and with that gold fella. I wish I'm at the lego store to spend time picit2 myself and possibly save a lot of money hunting it then buying the full set.

Well i'm gonna miss the transition to V9! it's about time to leave work now... forever stuck in traffic.
