HispaBrick Magazine issue 36 now available for free download
Posted by Huw,
The latest issue of the excellent and free HispaBrick Magazine is now available for download.
Here's what's in it:
This time we wanted to pay a little homage to our beloved Classic Space, so blue and grey is the prevailing colour in this issue.
Oton Ribic will explain a bit about the essentials of spacecraft design, Ahmad Sahar will teach us how to program LEGO Mindstorms RI5 with Python and with the help of the red astronaut, Mark Favreau teaches you the basics of how to take good pictures of your models.
We review the Classic Space sets that provided us with so many hours of playtime when we were little kids (or not so little) and if you are also a fan of retro videogames, you are in luck because Johan Alexanderson has combined these two hobbies, and we will show you the online game he has created.
We continue to talk to and build links with the communities around the world and AFOLs from all over the world show us their creations in the Top MOC section.
We are also pleased to share the results of the survey we conducted on BrickLink and its acquisition by the LEGO Group together with the conclusions we have drawn from it.

There is an error on pages 4 and 13 with the picture of the Galaxy Explorer. The spoiler section is built incorrectly. The 1x2 blue tile should not lock the engines from the spoiler and the 2x6 blue plates on the spoiler should be closer together.
The “Classic Space Adventure” video game is actually pretty fun.

And what about the upside-down Classic space logo on the flag? :)

Right, on page 14.
@roygolan @Ivan_Kozirev We're happy to see you guys are paying attention—more than we were. We had a lot of fun building and shooting the sets though. We hope you enjoy the magazine. Let us know when you spot all 10 mistakes
The LUG and Top MOC end pages are fantastic, there are some really talented people out there who take Lego to a new level. I just hope the Space game was entered into the Lego Ideas competition as looks really well thought out and cannot wait to play!

Great article , to add to the Easter egg competition in the instructions http://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/928/Galaxy_Explorer
the 3 red landing lights are spaced with two diagonal studs in-between on the base plate and not 1 as shown on page 13. On page 12, 15th red light is placed on the command center roof in-between 4 studs and not directly on a stud.

"LEGO's ownership of BL does not seem to be very popular!"
Only because people forget how things were run before the acquisition. Anyone who's been around for more than a year knows that there hasn't been a notable decline in anything. Not many improvements, sure, but nothing tanking.
A Classic Space issue?? Well don't mind if I do! Also, to you nerds who are nit-picking... You're all awesome, I love it!
Always a pleasure to read HispaBrick Magazine!
