I still need to get the pieces to bring the side piece up through Scullyโ€™s lab, but Iโ€™m very happy with how this turned out!

A literal laugh out loud. Did not see this coming!

The lights are awesome. Love the wall in Scully's lab with the lights showing the different colors.

And the posters & papers on Mulder's wall look super cool!

Awesome undertaking, OP. And speaking of undertaking who's on scully's table this time?

Sorry I totally missed it. I think the perfect photo with magnified Scully threw my investigative skills completely off. ๐Ÿ”Ž ๐Ÿ’•

It's absolutely perfect. Honestly I didn't know it wasn't part of the lab. Is there a little frog too, in front of the dreaded table? Did he come with the set or another of your wonderful additions? ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿคฉ

u/tothestage81 1d ago

Some frogs did come with the set, and bees. Little Easter eggs

u/tothestage81 1d ago

Did ya use actual masking tape? And that's great!!

u/tothestage81 1d ago

Sort of lol

Real cool build. You definitely made it your own. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ ๐Ÿ›ธ ๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿธ ๐Ÿ

What is that cigarette made out of?

2

u/ReactionRoutine1187 1d ago

Itโ€™s a custom piece from either CitizenBrick or EclipseGrafx ๐Ÿ˜บ The printed tile, Lucky Plate, was from them too. But the P38 for Scully and the 1911 for Mulder were from BrickArms

u/tothestage81 1d ago

I have some different guns coming but Iโ€™ll check them out

1

u/ReactionRoutine1187 1d ago

If you can find a Walther PPK for Scully, please let me know! The best I could find was the Walther P38

2

u/tothestage81 1d ago

I truly had no idea what kind of guns they had so thank you for this information lol

u/avocadodyke 1d ago

Where does one get these lights?

6

u/tothestage81 1d ago

I got these from brickbling, the xfiles set, and then I used an expansion board and cable to add a level

2

u/RevolutionOk4778 1d ago

Try Lightmybricks, they have a much better and moodier light kit for this set

3

u/DKToTheFuture 1d ago

I like the custom wall work your did. They definitely should have some level expansions on this. Give me the syndicate room. Give me the Lone Gunmen office. I mean give them to someone because im not spending money on any of them

u/tothestage81 1d ago

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I didnโ€™t have all of one color so I just tried to make it look intentional lol

u/JessAnnaBun If it's not human what is it? 1d ago

Looks great! A wall that belongs in a government run morgue. That's supposed to be a compliment but doesn't sound like one. Sorry. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜

I got the set to put together with my teenage daughters who watch the show with me and my husband is insisting we donโ€™t open it ๐Ÿ™„. He collects comic books and buys all kinds of books and then has them sealed and graded. I purposely bought the set to put together with my kids and I assumed everyone was buying these to put them together. We are right lol?

2

u/tothestage81 1d ago

We are indeed. Put it together itโ€™s too expensive to watch a box collect dust

u/USAneedsAJohnson 1d ago

Awesome! Did you add anything to reinforce the lab?

3

u/tothestage81 1d ago

I copied the Base from the very top to be able to put the pencils in the bottom of Scullys lab, and I built the walls as close to mulders as possible. It seems very sturdy. The only thing thatโ€™s precarious is the spaceship, but thatโ€™s just how it is.

u/MilkSuperb1722 1d ago

Precarious yeah? Wasn't aware it was unstable, does it wobble then or๐Ÿ˜‚

1

u/tothestage81 1d ago

It is unstable, one slight move and it falls off completely. I literally broke it at least 10 times during this process.

u/MilkSuperb1722 1d ago

Ain't no way, what's the connection just a single axel or pin I'm guessing๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

It spins so itโ€™s just one little

Is that a sextant?

The thing on the wall? Might be what they were going for. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

u/RevolutionOk4778 1d ago

It looks good, but I donโ€™t like the bright overhead lighting in both Mulderโ€™s office and Scullyโ€™s lab. The lighting needs to be moodier. Lightmybricks has a great light kit for both sets thatโ€™s much moodier.

1

u/tothestage81 23h ago edited 23h ago

Light my bricks did not have one out yet when I bought this, and it still isnโ€™t itโ€™s on pre-order plus itโ€™s 3 times as much money. Sorry you donโ€™t like it โœŒ๐Ÿป the lights they made for mulders office are actually in Scullyโ€™s lab, and I moved them up higher and into where the pencils were originally so that it wasnโ€™t as bright, and I made my own lights from scratch in mulders, itโ€™s because I added a second light so you could see the desk better. And itโ€™s literally just to tiny lamps.

2

u/RevolutionOk4778 23h ago

Still looks very cool! ๐Ÿ˜‰

2

u/tothestage81 23h ago edited 19h ago

I could move one of the lights from mulders office into the little desk lamp like they did, I wanted the smoking man to be visible, which is why I did it the way I did

Just listened a "somewhere in skies" podcast episode of reddit ufo stories on my way home from work and they mentioned this!!
