MOD IDEA = LEGO Battleships Forever Shipbuilder?
« on: June 16, 2012, 12:26:47 AM »

Does anyone know if there exists a picture pack for the Battleships Forever Shipbuilder that involves actual LEGO pieces? Doesn't matter if they look cartoony or realistic.

That way we can very easily build LEGO spaceships for Starfarer. Think of the possibilities!

I've already did a search on their forum but it came up empty.

Well except for this little bit which I had no idea existed: http://www.mocpages.com/folder.php/10311 (oh my gods I want these!!)

Drat. I was afraid of that. Seems weird to me though, its basically making ships with parts which is so much akin to LEGO that you'd think that would be one of the first things that got modded in, oh well.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Same reason it's hard in minecraft. There doesn't really exist either the right pieces and there's only like two pictures of ships side on (wolf and astral) which means other than that we have to both guess and only do art.

I got tons of the stuff, but I'd prefer it be kept in one piece, I don't want to break the stuff I have, especially my space LEGO.

Plus your way is a lot of extra work, taking pictures doesn't come with a standard transparent background. And you'd have to assemble them in 3D, which is even more work. Not to mention all the space it takes up.

I probably could make it easier by using a single pure color background but I don't have the equipment for that.

What a???  Well Vandala if you dont wannt to break Lego... HOOLLYYY CRAP, oh c'mon man You do not want to BREAK Lego??? It's meant to be broken and reassembled in different form and.. and.. IT"S    L E G O   ffs. Ok, ok, ok, fine, everyone enjoy their stuff how they like...   It's    LEEEGOOOOO, you can always make it like it was...  You got TONS of it and you don't make different stuff from them and all that LEGO is sitting still, and, and, and... I'm crying inside now... Kid part of me is crying like baby part of me...


And for background you can buy one colored towel or simple T-shirt or rag or mop...


Just stay still not reassembled again and again...

I doubt towels would work, still to much color difference I think. (I'll have to try that out though.)

Look I enjoy building with LEGO as much as the next guy but I would rather keep the really big stuff in one piece, especially the older ones that are more the 15 year old or so.

The amount of lose bricks I already have is crazy enough I don't want to break even more. I still have to be able to walk around in my house you know.

Found something that might work, too bad I don't really have the right light conditions.

Here's two examples.


This is why I would really prefer a shipbuilder pack.

Maybe it won't be so bad if I tried single bricks. Maybe build our own picture pack. It's probably not gonna work but we'll see.

EDIT: Nope, single bricks look even worse, the damn things are too shiny and its impossible to get a good angle on them, plus my light is horrible.

Go into the bathroom and turn off the lights?

Do you have T shirt in one color that isn't on Lego model? Use it because it wont give you light reflection.

Look, do you have friends with good camera or good mobile phone with good camera? But even with this you can make interesting pics that can be used but you must nail right angle...

I'm not sure I'll have to ask.
