@Doomguy666: ho man playing around with Legos was rad. My little brother played with an Aqua Raiders set in a tub, even though I think you weren't supposed to. I made sure to dry the set real good.

@Cactus: Ghallager was a real melon abuser.

@Pink_Hat: there are some other sets that I've been kinda wanting to build that are laid in a big and I mean "big" brick pile. I didn't think the net would have instructions on old ones from the 90's. Cool something I learned came about from blips :)

    @Pink_Hat: Droidekas are cool. I saw the Technic set at a mom and pop store.

    Now I can actually complete the castle rather than leave it unfinished after like 25 years (lost the instructions). I have a little alcove where a few sets are displayed.

    @Millcore: Congrats on the new rank!

    Seems like a lot of people are getting recognized for their contributions these days, which is really cool to see.

    @Doomguy666: Now that's a hot kiln. Must be nice during the winter.

    Sounds like a fun job. The worst part is that dry feeling on your hands after you try washing the clay off. But I don't think in your position you have to deal with that much.

    @vex714: Yeah I wasn't exaggerating when I said little more than paper thin.
    Paper is about.0040-.0050 in, the parts I'm making are .0060 in + -.0005

    The.0005 is the tolerance meaning it can be that much smaller or bigger.

    @Doomguy666: oh wow, that's as thin as I've ever heard them to be. If I had a hard time handling plate thick clay, I can't even begin to think how precise the handling process is for clay that thin. You fire them, cover them in glaze, and high fire them?

    @Pink_Hat: When I didn't have a Lego version of something, like a Droideka, I kept looking at the Lego Star Wars video game model and used pieces to create it.

    It's pretty cool there's instructions for sets online, maybe even for the old castle sets.

    @Pink_Hat: Cool, I like that Dino set. The one I wished I had was the Clone Turbo Tank set (2006)

    Tough to find an image of that heli. During my search, I was surprised the there were wikis and sites that still contained instructions for various sets.

    Went to Bronco Stadium with Mexico v.s. Canada playing for the Gold Cup.

    Stadium was FILLED with Mexican fans. Best experience I’ve ever went through watching the game! :D

    @vex714: Had to sit hunched over the entire time though since I had to do it on my coffee table. My back hurt like shit for days and my thighs were sore where I had rested my elbows on them. But yea, easily worth it

    @vex714: I think it took about 10 hours with a quick dinner break. And that's only because I've started building sets so all the parts line up, like the little logos on the studs. It just looks nice. If I didn't do that I could've done it much quicker
