Lego Company has made updates to Lego Digital Designer. The Lego Universe Build option is now available, and get this: The Lego Universe Brick Palette has almost every single lego brick ever made! The Paint option also allows you to paint any brick any color, at all! Anything that can be made out of lego can be made in LDD!

Here is my progress on a Lego Battlecruiser I'm working on:

As one might be able to figure out, this is the bridge for a BattleCruiser in SC2.

There is, however, a Downside. Certain Bricks in the lego Universe palette, in particular the ones that aren't very mainstream and are quite out of the way, like really funky aesthetic pieces aren't available for shipping. If you want to ship your model or upload it to the site, you must not use the unavailable bricks.

Ha! I got an even better one for you guys!

In the post above, I began making a Lego BattleCruiser. I still am, but this time, I'm going to super size it.

And I don't mean like super sizing it to the size of a book, I mean like super sizing it to the size of a fucking PERSON.

Like THIS big:

Here's a sneek peek at what I'm talking about:

You know how whenever you see the back engines of battlecruisers, both in-game and in the art, the engines always have a diamond-like formation? You can see it quite well in this image when the battlecruiser faces north:

Got that shape in your head yet? This should give you some perspective on how large the BC model is going to be (:<

Using Lego Digital Designer's View mode capture of the first engine by itself:

And now the 4 rear engines in comparison to the size of the engines the original, small model would have:

I can't progress much further with the model though. My graphics card and processor on this laptop are both bricks, and I get the feeling that if I put much more into the model the computer itself would explode. So, until my new computer arrives and I can't start whooping ass with my fancy, fancy graphics card, I have to delay the designing.

Hey guys, I'm planning on a doing a set conversion series from off-the-shelf Lego sets to Starcraft units. The general idea is that I will post instructions that allow you to go to Walmart, buy a $20 set and built it into a Starcraft unit without requiring you to buy custom parts.

However, I'm not sure what the best way to do it. I don't have a good camera but I don't know what the best way to generate good step-by-step instructions are.
