Another experiment using a Brickstuff lighting kit.

My first experiment using Brickstuff lighting!

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, there was a princess named Celeste. She was kind and beautiful, and loved by all who knew her. But being a princess was not easy, as there were many responsibilities that came with the title. Celeste longed for a place where she could relax and be herself.

 

One day, while exploring the kingdom, Celeste came upon a hidden water temple in the middle of a vast lake. The temple was surrounded by crystal-clear waters, and in the center was a pavilion. It was a tranquil place, and Celeste felt a sense of peace wash over her as she stepped inside.

 

As she was relaxing, she noticed that there were seven statues guarding the temple. They were the most impressive sculptures she had ever seen, and she admired their attention to detail.

 

From that day on, Celeste visited the water temple often, and she always made time to sit in the pavilion and reflect on the beauty of the world around her. She felt a deep sense of gratitude for the statues and their steadfast guardianship of the temple. Even though they were only made of stone, she knew that they would always be her most trusted companions in this magical place.

We would listen to the sport on the radio, he would have a beer I'd have chocolate and Frenchie a biscuit. How I was I could finish that game of scrabble.

A Symphony of Construction 2023 build. Visit the website to admire the other builds and musical pieces. Definitely worth a visit!

I really enjoyed creating my clock build the other day So I thought I'd create another one, but this time bigger and brighter.

Your puny chains will not hold me down, for my name is Legion, and we are many!

(Thanks to Firestar Toys for the wonderful custom items)

The pillars rose like fossilized giants, their surfaces veined with alien resin and layered with clustered nests. Insect-like beings clung to the stone at impossible angles, their segmented bodies still and watchful, limbs folded tight as if carved from shadow.

 

Below them, masses of eggs filled the hollows between pillars, packed together in living constellations that shimmered with faint, organic light. None of the creatures moved, yet the entire place felt awake, as though the pillars themselves had grown eyes and were patiently guarding something that had not yet learned how to breathe.

A day for relaxing and taking it easy, and letting others do those chores.

Wherever there is light,

look for the shadow.

The shadow is me.

Its pancake day and it isn't going to well for Jeff the new trainee.

Whoosh!

Deep within the tangled heart of an ancient jungle lies the forgotten civilization of Xethral, a people whose cities shimmered with crystal towers that drew energy from a mysterious light power source.

 

Legends tell that Xethral’s scholars learned to channel this energy to sustain their cities, illuminate the night, and power machines far beyond modern understanding.

 

When the stars aligned against them, a great silence fell, an entire culture swallowed by vines and mist.

 

Now, only their depleted power sources and crumbling crystal towers remain, silent witnesses to a brilliance long erased from history.

Whilst enjoying the excesses of the holiday season poor Pooch's owner had neglected to take him on the long winter walks Pooch so enjoys.

I saw a very striking image on the BBC News website, and decided to recreate it in LEGO form.

The golden city ruins of Kadena were renowned for their loot and riches. Many thieves tried their luck, but only a handful escaped the clutches of the city's guardians.

Are you sure this is safe?

 

Don't be a wuss! This species is well known to leave their young unattended. Come on, help me grab one ... this is going to make us a fortune at the market!

With little to no natural light keeping greenhouses on Exobudria 9 seemed impossible. But thanks to a clever symbiosis with the indigenous insects, the light and warmth of their hives proved to be exactly what the plants needed.

Hey there!

 

Some of you have have followed the progress of this build, for others it will be the first time they see it, but here's my citadel of sweet dreams.

 

Thanks everyone for the feedback and fun during this build!

 

It's my 2nd entry into this years Summer Joust, for the high fantasy category.

 

Enjoy!

Once upon a time there was a young wizard. He was very adept at magic and sought to extend his skills. He traveled to the wizard university and convinced the headmasters to permit him entry, despite his young age. He had a thirst for knowledge and was a quick learner. He surprised his teachers with his quick progress and not before long he was the most powerful wizard alive.

 

Still it was not enough for our young mage as he yearned power more than anything else. And so he left the university and traveled the globe in search of it. He visited far away lands where he learned the ways of shamans and sorcerers, but still he wanted more power. And then, hidden in a cave, he found a mysterious lamp. He knew the stories of old and so he rubbed it thrice and a genie appeared granting him three wishes.

 

For his first wish he asked the genie for power, but the genie responded: oh wise mage, why would you want more power, you are already the most powerful human alive. The wizard thought for a moment and then agreed with the genie. True I am very powerful, but I have no place to live and the genie granted his wish. He raised a magnificent palace with towers reaching the sky.

 

For his second wish he asked the genie for power, but the genie responded: oh wise mage, why would you want more power, you are already the most powerful human alive. The wizard thought for a moment and then agreed with the genie. True I am very powerful, yet I am not known across the globe, I want to be famous. And the genie granted his wish. People from far and away came to his palace to visit and honour the mage.

 

For his third wish he asked the genie for power, but the genie responded: oh wise mage, why would you want more power, you are already the most powerful human alive. The wizard thought for a moment and then agreed with the genie. True I am very powerful, for a human, but I want to be as powerful as you. And with a wide grin the genie granted his wish. He switched places with the wizard, trapping the power hungry mage in the lamp, where he remains to this day.

The Nokira people are well known for their high technology. They have learned much from studying the ocean and have been able to harvest many valuable resources from the depths.

The sixth round of the local building competition for creative use of certain parts. This time the seed part were binoculars. This time I didn't manage to build anything really worthwhile, but the idea of castle towers made of binoculars seems interesting to me, so maybe this will inspire someone more skilled to build something even cooler.

I've just received this wonderful Elton John Custom minifigure from @minifigurehq and all I can say is WOW It's an amazing custom which even comes with it's own highly detailed Goodbye Yellow Brick Road custom album tile. Yet again more wonderful work from those peeps @minifigurehq

It's Halloween Party Time !

The final, seventh round of the local building competition for creative use of certain parts. This time the seed part were mixel joints.

 

This typewriter has only 20 buttons. It's not critical, is it?

Day 2 of Vignweek 2025. Theme: Monochromatic.

Beneath the sky where silence sang,

A silver seed through starlight sprang.

It struck the earth with breath of flame,

And from that fire, the First Tree came.

 

Its roots ran deep through time and stone,

Its crown of light stood skyward-grown.

Around its grace, white towers rose,

A city born from dawn’s repose.

 

They crowned the tree with woven light,

And watched it bloom through endless night.

Each fruit that fell was gently caught,

To rest in hands with wonder fraught.

 

But pride grew tall where roots ran deep,

And dreams once pure began to sleep.

They took the fruit, forgot the song,

And wondered why the light felt wrong.

  

I just can't stop creating little scenes, with my custom Elton John minifigure I got from www.minifigures.com/minifigures/

This build has been on going for a month or so now, it was going to be a dark creepy tower. But as my mood lifted and as an antidote to the dark wet winter evenings it's morphed into a a bright colourful creation .

In the agri-sectors of the Outer Colonies, autonomous harvest units sweep across neon-lit fields with surgical precision. Guided by quantum vision arrays and adaptive AI cores, they detect biochemical ripeness at the molecular level before extending sleek manipulators to collect each crop without a bruise. Their engines hum in perfect, synchronized patterns as drones relay real-time yield data to orbiting stations. In this fusion of biology and engineering, humanity’s food supply is cultivated by machines that work with silent, futuristic grace.
