That's a great idea. How did you secure the cardboard dividers to make sure they don't shift around too much?
Ah yes, I do remember the door and the spaceship technique. I think I still have that model built somewhere in my shelves.
Good use of time, also good to prepare for when you do start coding too. Depending on what IDE you use hopefully they won't be too bad. Implementing Python packages can be really annoying at times.
I did hear about the summer sale and I got LEGO City Undercover since it was the cheapest. I need to get a Steam gift card so that I have credits to spend on LEGO games and not have to rely on my brother's Steam credits. Hopefully you can get those RPGs while the sale is up. That's pretty cool. If I remember correctly, only one of you need to have the game, right?
What I did was take a piece of cardboard then fold it into a trough shape and stick it in the middle of the drawer. One column of bagged LEGO sits in the trough, and one on each side. The bags are just the right size that once the bricks are in the drawer, nothing moves around. It was a little annoying to cut and fold the cardboard, but it works without any adhesives or additional tricks, so I consider it a win. Ninjagogirl gave me a couple hundred notecards, so I think I'll use some of them to clearly label which type of pieces are in the column, and separate the types of piece. I'll be doing it alphabetical by the bricklink classifications, I suppose.
I tried to build it at a different scale (bigger) than you did a while back, but I didn't account for the very specific geometry of what you did, and it didn't work. I'll have to be more careful if I try to make it larger in the future.
I haven't gotten to fighting with NLP packages yet, but I think it will be coming in the next week or two.
Just use paypal on steam, man And yes, only I needed to shell out for the game and now I can enjoy it with all my friends. I keep bugging AP to get a converter for his Macbook to play with me, since the second player needs a console controller for this latest game as there are too many controls for shared keyboard to work (plus you need the mouse)
Ah, that makes sense. Everything is still inside a bag, but the bag is in its own space in its drawer with divisions. I should consider getting more bags. Alphabetical by bricklink classification. That's a sorting style I've never heard of before.
I can understand that. It's always fun trying to turn something from a smaller scale into a bigger scale, but then run into technical difficulties at the bigger scale. Amazing how sometimes it's size sensitive.
Hopefully you'll have gotten around to it by now.
I could, but I have a strategic economic plan. I get points from the grocery store when I buy gift cards, and those points go towards lowering my gas price by 10 cents a gallon. Overtime it adds up. Ah, that's very nice. That'll sound pretty fun once you and AP get the controller up and running. Adapters for game controllers aren't too hard to find.
