Been busy...

I have found a new hobby, in between work, family and Fallout 3 I have rediscovered Legos. I have always been fascinated with the little colored bricks since I was small, but lately I have been browsing the web looking at other peoples creations, and couldn't help but wonder how do they build such things. I mean did they spend hundreds of dollars on kits just to build their own creation? How did they know what bricks would be necessary to do so? With a little searching I found out how they do it. Lego CAD. There are a few applications for doing this, but the Lego Digital Designer, which is free from Lego.com is a great way to start designing your own kits. And there is even a feature to purchase the bricks necessary to build your creation. Anyway, here is what I have done in the past few days.

I designed a fictional ship from the R-Type universe, if you have played any of the games you will probably recognize the similarities especially if you ever played R-Type Final for the PS2.

R-9XA Experimental deep space heavily armored fighter, equipped with a Force Wave Cannon on top of the craft, and a Long Range Precision Strike Cannon on the bottom of the craft.
