17thCMEF Dreadnought

I love your stuff but *ouch* cutting lego pieces

Cutting is usually my last resort. In this case, it was shortening a rod to attach the leg to the middle.



right there.

I also used this technique while making the legs.



That's a small sliver of paper. Basically, this stiffens the technic joint by allowing less room between the pin and the hole.



Look at the results! I don't consider this lego heresy because I'm not altering a part, I'm just shoving paper into it.

I respect your different opinion, but sometimes I just have cut stuff because I don't want to redesign the cool thing I just made.

[Natalya]

The fuck? I could have used paper this whole time? Fuck my life.


Also, your original dreadnought was inspirational when I made mine a few years ago, like I copied its legs.

[Bragallot]

Yes, it's like how you can put some tape around these when you run out of the ones that are round on both ends.

[BFenix]

Or a small sheet from a plastic bag around it, works too.

[Bragallot]

I never thought I'd see the day I knew something about Lego that Natalya didn't.

[Falk]

How did you attach the ammo belt to the arm? And the front armor plates together?

I didn't forget about you! actually, I did... Thanks for reminding me though. I'll get right on that!

[mercury19]

Sure! The legs aren't hard to build. you have to cut some stuff though. nothing major, just a rod. make note that my dreadnought and his are not the same scale. also, could you post a picture of your powerfist?

here is the fist.

[halo 3000]

Why was this sticky'd?

[Theblackdog]

My guess is because it's one of the best examples of a dread on the forums, and a lot of people want to build dreadnoughts for their armies.

[Quantumsurfer]

That and the paper technique in the joint. Lot of arguments recently concerning ball joints and the like.

[Bragallot]

At least ball joints are pure.

[Silverdream]

Ball joints need to be covered up. That being said, Natty is a terrible big sister and Shadowscythe is just plain rude.

[Zupponn]

Ball joints are like tits. They're round and firm and they are nice to work with.
