bought some bricks to build a retired SW set - 7667 imperial dropship. the set is now being sold at an average of 25 to 30 USD in ebay.. almost 3 times its original price..

Once you start recreating old sets... you are enter the dark side liao. Prepare ur wallet, set bricklink as your home page.

I like this design! Dunno if you've answered but I asked which software you used and if you're an architect or something cos you're very very creative.
*
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.

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...
oh wow this is great. i want to build these things. i absolutely love it.
*
i love food and restoran, one of my future projek is to do a restoran moc
i did my food street (mini) moc also here:
http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/343128

recreate the cafe corner is gonna be costly in both time and money, but satisfaction is key point also. i havent gone into modulars but i know there is huge variety of brick types. it might be less painful to buy the cafe, then buy the extra parts you need.

here is something to inspire you

Ahem.

Back on topic. When I was thinking how nice it would be to have the Haunted House, I started thinking of the MOC possibilities. Naturally, I started thinking about one of my favorite TV series, "Supernatural".

Anybody here a fan of the series?

I think CMF Series 5 Lumberjack would make an excellent Bobby Singer!

Btw, I'm getting Imperial Star Destroyer soon...
Anyone knows which figurine can fit in the scene? Other than those that come together

I think it can stand on its own, since it isnt minifig scale.

someone on lelong seling for RM270

Ricks store is rm130 sans shipping, probably would be reasonable around rm230 all in but personally i would just forego the wait and buy local if its not too big a price diff.
