DAYZ Lego Creations.

[PK Richie 507]

On my PC and in my twisted mind it does.

There's nothing wrong with being 43 and liking Lego and Computer Games (or so the voices tell me)

Lego is a great product with an intresting history, It started with wood and hard work, watch the story below for the truth behind the company :)

You made me go up to the attic and look for my lego boxes. Not sure if I like that or not.

[OrLoK 16190]

You love your plastic pal, who's fun to be with.

I came to this thread because I thought it said "DayZ Logo Creations"...

I then found out it was a place that orlok could show off his awesomesauce in...

Nice work! :P You have now stirred the model maker inside of me. Seriously though I should make something DayZ'esque from my left over kits!

[OrLoK 16190]

Make them and post them

I now *know* two of you have lego laying around.

If you build it they will come...

Oh yes, I have loads of it. The old kind as well, where you have geometric shapes of all kinds and not this new crap that builds itself. :)

EDIT: If I find it all I will try to build something. Not sure I have that many diagonal red pieces though.

Hello there

My Lego philosophy is more biased towards pre 1980's ethos. But, new Lego *has* come on in leaps and bounds, it's knowing which sets to pick and choose from to get the decent parts.

With my builds I want to use as many true bricks as possible, although some use of prefabs is inevitable.

For example, If I were to include horses they'd be made of Lego parts rather than the newer "ready made" ponies, but one can be too luddite in one's attitude, so I'm going to embrace all things lego new and old, with a nod towards more traditional building techniques.

Please to try and build. Dont forget The LDD program available from Lego's website is a great place to start with infinite pieces and keeps the mess at a minimum :). plus I'm happy to render up any models you make.

The mess and inevitable rage when you step on a piece is half the fun though. ;)

ahhh "Lego foot" I remember it well, not as bad as "plug foot" but still evil.

This is how I chose to remember Lego:

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Ahhh, no. 375, a true classic.

[OrLoK 16190]

Ahhh, no. 375, a true classic.

Agreed, that's a proper castle.

[OrLoK 16190]

Damn, I forgot That could unfold. Hmmm. *ideas brewing*

Also, that's the kind of build I'm after.

Best Christmas ever.

Orlok I don't see why Rocket wouldn't hire you to pitch LegoZ to the Lego people, when the standalone is released. You'll see a good chunk of $$$ when the Lego people buys a DayZ license.

A lovely idea, but I think I'm a little low on the food chain to even register in his plans for total domination.

But, as I said I would like to put together some fun colourful mini dioramas representing DAYZ and use them as giveaways so keep ideas of what you as a collecter/gamer/fan/nerd/groovy person would want and in-between making large scale replicas of iconic DAYZ stuff I'll start to work on those.

*no ponies*

I dunno, there's something about a zombie apocalypse that may not be suited to Legos children-orientated target audience. Can't for the life of me think what it is though.

Awesome models orlok. Just awesome.

For stuff like that probably a lego "expert" would be sourced, I doubt I'd be in the running for that. There's a lot of uber talented "legoleers" out there. I'm a happy amateur. (although a consultancy role would be nice :) )

Anyhoo that's a pipedream lets see what we can do here first.

Hehe, the first rule of the internet: no matter how good you are at something, there's always someone else who is better.

I have been playing around LDD for a while now, just trying to get a basic grasp of the UI and so on. How I did not know that this was a thing earlier is beyond me. So, thanks, I guess?

[OrLoK 16190]

Hello there

I also had no idea. The best way to get started is to copy an existing plan. Try the castle above. This forces you into having to work on other folks plans and to hunt for parts rather than taking an easy route with ones own creation.

Also, you'll have a groovy model in an hour or so all of your own :)

I look forward to seeing your creations :)

Actually orlok I had something more like this in mind when I said 'model': (although I do have some crates of lego lying about :P)

I will try to make something in a DayZ setting. The zombles will be tricky though, and i only have WW2 stuff! :P

I love looking a models like that for some reason. I've never really got into modelling, the nearest I got was as a 12 year old painting Space Marines but I always enjoy seeing what others do. If you could make a DayZ scene that would be truly epic (if not quite hard :/ ).

Ahhh, dioramas. I Also used to make them. Love em. do it!
