I downloaded LEGO???s Digital Designer software with an eye toward making a digital representation of the Battlewalker, so I could have assembly instructions in case I wanted to rebuild it at a later date. Of course, nothing is ever that simple. Thi…
Rear view. I really like the detailing on the engine in back.
So I???d said I was going to build something that used all the pieces in the advent calendar, but that turned out to be not very feasible. The models it gives you are such little things ??? a toolbox, a traffic light, a legless park bench ??? that you d…

Day 20: A scout robot cavorts near a fallen battle-standard. Whether the flag belongs to the crab-mutants, the oppressive government, the tiki heads, or Voldo???s merry band of insane freaks, none can say, but it???s obvious that the robots have won t…
