      The file names “Dino-Support-Front” image is not opening for me, but I’d really like to see it so I can understand more than the idea of building a platform above. Has someone offered to build this platform?

      I suppose there might be problems with light availability away from the windows if there is a platform all the way across. Although I would not expect the underground / undersea build to go all the way across the first level anyway, so having light in the middle wouldn’t be essential.

      There is a plug in there, a cord, and I think I left my timer in there. You can string up any LED lighting under any platform for lighting.

      I can still fill in that weird corner with the MILS plate I have and build fossil and fossil digs into the landscape.

        @tcsbgdady Hoth will be showing at TUBS in November and then we can trade them to each other if that works for you.

        Thanks so much for letting us use them all this time, they really have helped fill out the Empire.

        Cool.

            These are ready for pickup. I got a new bill for tariffs. The price is $53/set. You can send me a private message and we can arrange pickup. Sorry about the price change but the exchange rate went up on charging and this tariff bill; which was not expected.

            Currently I have: @pete (1), @mrmain18 (2), @knb112 (1), @mk32 (1), @poppyperiscope (1), @watchwmarcella (1), @loganc (1), @schaup (1)

                Hello there CMF fans! If you’re online at all you probably heard there is a Spider Verse CMF series coming out soon. I Preordered what should be 12 sets of all goes well. I am keeping 2 so if anyone wants one, I should have 10 left. Let me know. Should be about $48/set as usual.

                I have not heard of a ship date yet but I wanted to let you know that as soon as I do, I will let those who want the Spider Verse Series know they are ready to arrange for pickup.

                Currently I have: @pete (1), @mrmain18 (2), @knb112 (1), @mk32 (1), @poppyperiscope (1), @watchwmarcella (1)

                Still should have 2-3 sets available if folks need one (and Lego didn’t mess with the box counts!). Again, price should be $48/set.

                  I am not available 8/16. Could make 8/23 work. I would like to be last and make some measurements to try and fill in the MILS in that weird corner area.

                      Thanks Josh! Worked great once I figured it out from your tutorial! 🙂

                        Yes, I used to be able to resize on post from the iPhone. Now I cannot. So everything in the phone is bigger than the legal site limits. On the last post I did, I sent the pics to myself via an email and resized on the attach function tot he email. Then I posted that way from a PC.

                        I don’t like the extra step for sure. Used to be quite simple.

                            My posts with pictures are not going through for some reason and I didn’t realize.

                            Sorry @timf, I was down in Bethel Park Saturday and offered to pick up the bricks if @joshhall was around. Didn’t realize it didn’t post. I can go down and get it if needed to make up for the problem.

                            Let me know.

                            On another note….anyone build with BURPS? I have never done this and want to ensure they look good at the end. The prototypes I have done are not satisfying me but I am determined to get these to work so if anyone has some experience, let me know. If I could post a picture I would and show you what I have so far. I can TXT pics or FaceTime if anyone wants to give some advice.

                            Thanks!

                                I am trying to use all green and all pearl gold. But there may need to be green variants if I run out of parts in there. I’ll do my best to be monochromatic if folks prefer that.

                                  So for the sake of the diagram, I think some white caves with the color bricks coming out between 4 and 5, 6 and 3 and 1 and 2 will work, “spreading” to all the other areas. Could even “connect” them to the white building in the center as I have the blue baseplate you claimed @timf at the center by the ones I am taking if that works for everyone.

                                  I will use the MILS plate I have to fill up between 1-5. Similar in size to the castle/mountain build last year. It will be a green hill with a gold top that will fill in that weird side with half a pole and a window no one looks through. So I would say after 5 there and after 1 seems fine. If I am visualizing what you are saying correctly! 🙂

                                    For reference. Both large windows fit about 5 32×32 baseplates. The small one fits 2. The middle can fit another ~3 with a bunch of 16 stud wide spaces filling the gaps. Anything yellow here are irregular gaps in increments smaller that 16 stud so use caution when planning for them. Keep in mind this is best of my ability based one the measurements I took and expect some small about of margin of error in the spacing. Mainly with regards to where regions 3 and 4 meet since there’s no buffer there.

                                    Thus person A could say something like I’m building to fill the space in region 3 and I’m building to a depth of X from the window. That would let person B who claims area in region 4 or 6 to adjust the size they plan to claim to account for the already claimed space in region 3. Also doesn’t have to be 1 person per region or vice versa. Can claim half a region, or more than one region. If you are building high (let’s say in excess of 3′), please note roughly how high as that can affect suspended build placement.

                                    I still have a MILS setup for the 1-5 area. Fits great in there and easy to build onto.

                                    Honestly not sure what to add in here. I am having a bit of trouble visualizing in my head how this is coming together now and what is needed.

                                    @timf, can you give any guidance/inspiration on what is needed, wanted, left for room?

                                      Thanks @tcsbgdady! I was hoping to make it there right at 10:30 today, but the kids are not cooperating this morning. I will be there at some point today, so if you have to head out, feel free to tuck them in somewhere and I can collect them whenever it is I’m able to make it out today. Thanks again!

                                      I hear ya!! They are here. @knb112 has all 3 sets in a box. Thanks man!

                                        @bengood921, Can I leave with @knb112? I plan to be there around 10:30AM.

                                        @kacierno I will bring your set.

                                        @mk32. I will bring you 3 sets in message.

                                        See you soon.

                                          @kacierno, @knb112, @mk32 – I will make it down to the mall. Let me know if you will be there in the morning or afternoon. I have various activities with kids that day but I will run down, hopefully, while everyone is there.

                                            I ordered 3 extra sets if anyone needs one or one more!

                                            Happy Thanksgiving!

                                            Figs arrived yesterday and are sorted. Let me know if you want to meet up and grab em!

                                            $42/set this time. They combined shipping this time for some reason so we win!

                                            @knb112 I will work out your cost. Should be $42 + $17.50 = $59.50

                                            @bengood921 Your cost should be the remainder of $24.50. For doing extra sorting and math you owe me a coffee too!!! lol. 😂

                                            @tfdesigns

                                            Everyone else should be 1 set = $42.

                                            If you want to bring me a black, Starbucks coffee, all the better!!! Just kidding! 😜👍😊🙃

                                                I got a shipment notification today with the GWP stack and this redemption in the order. I did have one set I ordered on discount canceled within the order. The rest of the order seems to be fine though. Fingers crossed it comes but it should.
