I did some pose here and after a few trial and error I will rework the hip for more dynamic pose. The space needed more. Stay tune
Progress so far for my upcoming mecha #bmdxlegs challenge. Redesign the shoulder, the arms, main torso and also the LED light.
A tiny model for the first round of a local building contest. Here it was necessary to use the leaf part in an unusual and creative way.
President Obama is a LEGO fan ...who knew?!
...as unveiled to the audience at BrickCon 2014.
UPDATE [10/19/14]: A SEGMENT OF THE VIDEO HAS BEEN PARTIALLY CENSORED BY ENEMIES OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT. WE HOPE THIS DOES NOT SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE VIDEO.
By the Baltic Sea lies this fictitious museum. The building is modern, but the architecture is inspired by the Hanseatic era. The museum hosts exhibitions on themes such as "Navigation", "Titanic" and "Pirates". Upstairs you find a café and play area.
Scandinavian Sea House MOC is a small - but functional - house by the sea. It is shaped like an L and located somewhere in the Swedish archipelago. Downstairs you find a small TV-room and kitchen next to a guest room and a laundry room. A storage space is hidden underneath the staircase, that leads up to the master bedroom. And now we come to the best part - the home spa! Here you find a Turkish bath and resting chairs in a peaceful environment with a panorama sea view. Double glass doors lead to the roof terrace outside.
It was a good year.
Maybe I couldn't find time for my own projects because of my studies, I'm glad that I managed to build this year, I'm happy with my participation in three big contests. By the way, one model is missing from this collage, because it is part of the "telephone game", which I organized myself.
The Samurai and the Gunslinger, back to back. This was a series created to celebrate the cyberpunk style and mythos. Ever since Bladerunner, Neuromancer, Judge Dredd, and now Cyberpunk 2077 I've been fascinated with with the genre. I've been trying to find a way to celebrate cyberpunk in a meaningful way out of LEGO, and settled on building scaled up characters as a challenge.
The Samurai was first and inspiration came from of all things a dots bracelet, which I ended up using as his belt. The belt set the scale of the character and the base color (black). From there I had the goal of creating a unique face style using the black handcuffs as eyes and 2 x 2 corner tile with cut for the mustache.
The android Gunslinger came next. My first intention for him was to be a defeated foe at the feet of the Samurai. However sometimes intentions fall by the wayside and the Gunslinger took on a "life" of his own. I wanted him to be one of the lesser used blue colors so I settled on med azure. I knew I wanted the revolver to be an oversized futuristic take on the classic firearm. From there I created the bandolier, oversized belt buckle and cowboy hat shaped head as a nod back to the gunslingers of the American wild west.

Status Update as on 23 Mar: Apply some of the floor tiles with light blue grey across the floor with missing area will be place with grill plate.
For maintenance crews they do need a bar to hang on in a zero-gravity environment hence a few yellow bars are in place. Back on earth it will be a useful bar to hang on during the launch and landing sequence from the huge mecha heat blast.
3 LED lights is in place and a long 9watt bar is in place. Working on some potential lights in the command centre.
Recent Hong Kong public housing design tends to be modulated and monotonous. Let's recall our memories of childhood fun running around the public estate by bricks! Scenes like Chinese clinic, playground, corridors and metal gates are recreated. Occupation of corridor for decoration, while not allowed in Hong Kong, is somehow very common in Singapore.
I discovered I could combine the mudguard parts of set 42093 with the wheels of a motorcycle like in set 8051. This is how the idea of this MOC was born.
Hope you like it!

Sometimes a seed takes forever to finally sprout, and sometimes you can’t tell from the seed which flower will grow out of it. Yet sometimes you can!
This old fire ship, set nr. 316, was my first LEGO set ever, and I loooooved it – still do! So naturally this was the first set I rebuilt for my son when I came out of the „dark age“ three years ago.
And lo and behold this fire ship was the inspiration for the „FRS Firefly“ which then was the seed the whole „Full Steam“ idea grew out of.
So to the designer of the set – whoever you are: Thank you so much for installing the love for Lego in me and sowing the seed for the ever-giving fruit that is AFOL building more than thirty years later. Funny how that works…
@w.navarre: that's that red hull piece you were asking about.😉
Last month I went to Denmark for the opening of LEGO House and the Skærbæk fan event. Among all the awesome stuff that happened, I got to meet a bunch of well-known LEGO people, including some builders from the Far East that I've been following and blogging for almost a decade!
From the top: Takamichi Irie, Chris McVeigh, Sachiko Akinaga, Mike Dung, Jonas Kramm, Tim Johnson.
In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
This is a health care module with a garden passage, examination area, treatment room and surgery room.
My previous MOC Part I is a habitat example module. My aim is to build further example modules to visualize the various functions of the colony.
A microscale block of flats in Swedish summer surroundings.
In some way inspired by the art of Jaxco (000float @ Instagram).
Checkered Tan House is a spacious summer residence with light colours. It's built on top of a creek and is surrounded by green, bright green and lime green foliage. A small patio is carved out in the rocks. Fully furnished of course.
This house has similarities both with one of my earliest builds Autumn Stream House and my box-shaped Coral House.
My aim was to keep the house simple, creating dynamics only with the combination of house bodies and windows. This makes a contrast to the green surroundings of the house.
Sequoia Tree Trail - Inspired by my adventures among the largest trees in the world, this model was designed for Bricklink Designer Program Series 6.

For my submission #bmdhot I present to you my "Stug” Scara Therium IAD ST111 MarkIII. Still in working progress as usual and here I wanna share my design for Stug's weapons on both at the main body can be adjust to its potential firing position.
This was a gift for my mother on her birthday. It's a microscale model of my parents' house in the south of Sweden. The real house was drawn and built by my father.
This is my first attempt at building a house that exists in real life.
These are some behind-the-scenes shots of the road scenery I built for the setting of my forthcoming LEGO Back to the Future. Across a folding table I've placed several green baseplates with a long road MOC on top. The road is built with S.N.O.T. = studs not on top, by using bricks and plates assembled sideways to create the flat road pattern with divider lines. The road is anchored on the baseplates by using modified bricks on the top and bottom in just the right areas, which allows the road to be held securely into place. Then the modified bricks are covered with brown and tank pieces along with foliage to create the appearance of the road's shoulder.
Also, I added small notches throughout the road to mimic potholes. I did this by often placing small 1x1 wedge bricks or 1x1 round bricks throughout the pattern. Why are there so many potholes in this road? Well, I'm from Pennsylvania originally, so naturally I had to combat home sickness somehow.
In my Back to the Future animation, I have dozens of shots of both wide angles and closeups of the DeLorean speeding down the road, and for each shot I'd flip the table around and slightly move the plants to create the illusion of different stretches of road, as opposed to constantly using the same landscape over and over again.
