Topic: Please help me finish my model

PLEASE CHECK UPDATE LATER IN THREAD

I'm shot a few bricks to finish my model.  And right now, I have literally less than a dollar to my name.  I hate to tell a pitiful story, but I just want to explain my situation.  I'm seasonally unemployed, and am being cheated out of my primary source of income.  Until I can recover my losses through legal channels, I'm stuck with a nearly-built set.  And the ironic thing is that brickfilming has become my escape from life's problems.  If anyone has the pieces I need, they will receive a special thanks in the credits by name.  When my situation changes, I will also give anyone who helps me a free copy of Holding Our Own: Episode 1 on DVD.  I am a man of my word, and I never forget a good deed.

ROUNDED BRICKS:
2x2 semi-cylander    30165
1 dark gray

1x3x2 quarter        33243
1 dark gray


SLOPES:
2x2 roof top        3043
1 red


WINDOWS:
2x2 frame        60492
6 white (I do not need the panes)


PLANTS:
flower            56750
15 magenta



NO LONGER NEEDED:

PLATES:
6x8            3036
2 gray  ! NO LONGER NEEDED - I USED 4x6 PLATES !

OTHER:
classic antenna        3957
1  gray  ! NO LONGER NEEDED - FOUND ONE IN A BIN !

Triangle Snap-Sign    30259
1 yellow  ! NO LONGER NEEDED - FRIEND HAD ONE FOR ME !


This won't complete my model, but it is all I need to make it camera-ready.

The numbers are Lego's official part numbers, where they can be looked up on Lego Digital Designer or bricklink.com

If anyone can help me, I will be grateful.  Thank you in advance.

Re: Please help me finish my model

Out of curiosity, are the shots static (no camera movements) and do you currently have these pieces and just need more?  If yes to both, could you take multiple stills of the set with the pieces filling placed in areas where you need them per still?  For example, I have one tree.  I need a forest (actually, it was a Christmas tree sales lot).  I took multiple pics of the tree in different positions in the shot and combined the images together to create the illusion of having multiple trees.  Is that an option for you?

Re: Please help me finish my model

That is a good idea.  My shots are static, but most of the bricks I'm posting about are ones I don't have.  The sign and the antenna, one of the rounded bricks, and the top red brick, for instance, are pieces that I don't have at all.   The 6x8 plates I may not need because I think I have enough 4x6 plates that can be put together in pairs to make a 6x8.  I have a single pink flower.  I actually ordered a bunch of pink flowers off of ebay about 2 years ago, but the guy sent me red, which I had a ton of already and didn't need or want.  The only thing that I could reproduce are the window frames, but it would be difficult to edit, as the scene has many minifigures in front of the windows.

I'm not saying this to ask for pity or sympathy; it just happens that for the fifth year in a row, it looks like it's going to be a larger struggle from the previous year.  Even if a person has some or one of the pieces I need, I will return the favor with credit and, when I can, a DVD.  I went all out to chock the DVD with extra features, including songs, commentary, production stills, alternate audio, trailers and more.  I'm proud of the commentary track.  It really goes in-depth and behind the scenes.
