Pretty cool, huh? You can see the progression pictures on my Picasa Web Album (higher quality).
This build cost me about $55 for the parts I had to buy. I think it was worth it :-)

YAY! I bought pieces form Bricklink, found the building instructions on LEGO.com, and I put it together and it looks like this:

New Custom Set coming soon!
Hello people of the world!
If you are a regular comer to this website, you already know about my "Custom Sets". But, if you're new to LEGO-X, here is a quick explanation of my Custom Sets:
"Custom Sets" are sets that I build (official LEGO sets, that is), but I build them with the pieces I already have, and pieces that I don't have, I buy from Bricklink (most of the time). You can see my very fist custom set HERE.
Anyway, moving on. I have been waiting for prices of the pieces I need next for my next 4 (that's right, 4) custom sets:

Building 3 new Custom Sets soon (hopefully)
Hello everyone!
You what I do for fun when I want a new set, but I don't have enough money for? That's right, I make them anyway :) . I'm planning to build 3 new customs sets pretty soon: The 8455 Backhoe, the 8421 Mobile Crane, and the 8258 Crane Truck.
For the 8455 I need a few more parts:
For the 8421 I need a few parts too:
The 8258 Crane truck needs the most pieces:
So, I looked around, and I can get ALL of these parts for around $100 (somewhat including Shipping & Handling). Maybe around my birthday I will have at least the mobile crane done (that's my most favorite of the three).
Have a great 2011, and Play well!

For the 8455 I need a few more parts:
- 3 Pneumatic Cylinders, 1 Small bucket, 1 10x18 Bucket, 3 Engine Crankshafts, and 2 56x30 Tires
For the 8421 I need a few parts too:
- 2 Bionicle Bohrok Shoulders, 1 Buggy Motor, 8 62.4x20 tire and hub, and 2 small wheels
The 8258 Crane truck needs the most pieces:
- 3 Drive Ring extensions, 2 Linear Actuator holder (The horseshoe style), 4 1x13 gear racks (the new ones), 4 Panel Plate 1x5x11, 1 steering wheel, and, again, the 62.4x20 tire and hub.
So, I looked around, and I can get ALL of these parts for around $100 (somewhat including Shipping & Handling). Maybe around my birthday I will have at least the mobile crane done (that's my most favorite of the three).
Have a great 2011, and Play well!
