What started as a facelift ended up becoming a brand new mech, retaining only the spirit and the trademark gothic slopes of the original Canticle.
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.
Mild remix of my NCS version with nicer anti-grav emitters underneath and more than a hint of a Wipeout vibe
I usually build houses and furniture in minifigure scale and asked myself if it would be possible to create even smaller furniture. Tiny Room MOC is my first try...
This is my first of my racing mechs. The pilot controls the mech-creature from the cockpit/escape pod.
It's energy source also comes from the cockpit/escape pod. It's also a rumble mech.
The pilots name is Ryo, who came from an alternate universe (accidentally), and turned out to be an awesome racing pilot.
This was a fun and sort of spontaneous build. Hope you like it!
It's special feature is if the mech gets damaged the pilot can detach and fly away safely unharmed.
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.

This is my first attempt at a Micropolis build, to be added to the collaborative at Brickfair Virginia this year. The building itself, despite its small size, is made of around 500 pieces (not including the base). The geometry is interesting, if you look at it all closely. The design was quite challenging. The hole in the base needed to place the building in, for example, is 19.5 plates square. That was more difficult to build than I imagined. There are three steps down from the road level, at a half plate each. Hope you enjoy.
After offering only two-door-only models, Nash introduced a four-door sedan and a four-door station wagon in the Nash Rambler line starting with the 1954 model year. This was the automaker's response to demands of larger families for more roomy Ramblers. The four-door body styles rode on a longer, 108 in (2,743 mm) wheelbase.
The four-door Rambler sedan was at first only available in "Custom" trim. The "Country Club" hardtop became available in the lower-priced "Super" trim and without the "Custom" model's standard Continental tire (external spare tire carrier). The 4-door station wagons were designated Cross Country. They featured an unusual roofline that followed the slope of the sedan's roof, then dipped down behind the rear seat area before leveling and continuing rearward.
On 1 May 1954, Nash and Hudson Motor Car Company announced a merger, and the successor corporation was named American Motors Corporation (AMC). Following the merger, Hudson dealers began receiving Ramblers that were badged as Hudson brand cars. The Hudson Ramblers and Nash Ramblers were identical, save for the brand name and minor badging.
Finished version. This is part of a collaboration project where members are building chess pieces. I have created the knight figure for the medieval team (in white). This model demands a lot from those back legs. Each is mounted to a turn table to get that angle and then resting on a singe 45 degree angled stud. Clutch Power!!
Malayan Railway 1970s Cream & Chocolate Coach. An absolute fan of the older coaches, not only do they look great but there's something cute about how round these coaches were. Was fun to find a way to make the roof look that round.
Also, am definitely going broke at the rate I'm designing and building new LEGO trains.
Couldn't find much photos. Here are some snippets of the actual coach:

I managed to fix the skirt design that able the leg to post with it bended knee. Managed to work on the arm and hand and I am pretty supposed cause the scale of this JE06 Jebat is huge! Look at the missing torso and the cockpit area. Almost a PG scale rate in GUNDAM term.
Preflight for my new moc, a Jaguar XK 120. Of Course it's a right-hand drive, it's a Jaguar man! :-)

The Ventral V-X2 Heavy Scout, designed and developed by Ventral Shipyards for Kellfarie Securities Bureau. This long range reconnaissance vessel was a vital component to the fledgling Bureau's mid-23rd-century fleet. Its long range warp nacelles and hyperbolic sleep chamber allows it's pilot to plot and explore the unknown regions of space.
The X2 was armed with twin missile salvos capable of delivering up to 8 concussion homing missiles. Plus, the vessel was equipped with a twin blaster cannon mounted to its bow.
It's scientific armament consist of an advanced subspace communication array and state-of-the-art sensory relay. A 15 cubic meter cargo bay allows the X2 to deliver emergency supplies to the far-reaching outpost or deploy beacons to monitor deep space.
Well, these have been sitting in their current state for about a year so I figured I would put them online to spur me along to finish them. I don't really have a solid plan for any of the three, I mostly just tinker with shapes and see if they look good together, but hopefully these turn into some interesting things!

This is my latest take on the Kei Truck series: A modified, overland-inspired version built on the compact proportions I’ve been exploring throughout this lineup.
This version features a raised stance, a more detailed front end, and a fully loaded roof setup with storage boxes, spare tire, and lighting. The rear section is designed into a compact camper-style module, keeping things minimal but functional. Despite the small scale, I tried to pack in as much detail as possible without breaking the overall silhouette.
Believe in your dreams, have goals that set you apart,
Trust in your spirit and always follow your heart.
Everyone had dreams and have obstacles that stand in the way. I wanted create an inspiring story of a young girl challenging those barriers. The heart shape base dictated the build's theme and this music box within a music box was born. Designing a messy girl’s room was fun with clothes, records, and books strewn across the floor. Minifig capes were used as tissue paper in the shoe box and as an article of clothing poking out of the dresser. Her stuffed animals (including a Duplo bear) cheer her on as she tries out new ballet slippers. Her favorite embroidered denim jacket pulled over a classic pink tutu and blowing bubbles as she spins pirouette about her room, she is much cooler and more confident than I ever was at that age.
I plan on touring this model over the summer and I would love to hear what you think of it.
My first attempt at a complete and modular castle as an AFOL. This truly was a lifelong dream. Built for Novemburcht contest at LOWLUG.
Design Study: in Judeo-Christsian apocrypha, the angel Metatron was an immensely powerful celestial being, second only to God. I thought it was a fitting name for one of only two AIs that survived WW3 and the War Against Hell, the other being Archon.
Like Archon, Metatron was reprogrammed by the Prelacy Ascendant (after emerging from “Duckling mode”) to be a weapon of the Faith. It is cold, pure, mechanistic yet pious. I wanted these “personality” features to translate into its design: hard edged, no curves, purpose-built, robust.
My specific design influences on the mech side were the #battletech Fafnir and Raven. On the general tech side, I was inspired by the classic #aliens dropship and the #terminator HK. I knew it had to be a monotone grey, even though I’ve been using dark red highlights for the Prelacy to date. I like to think that as much as Metatron accepted its new directive, it refused to be decorated with such frivolous regalia.
I'm really proud of this build. The lighting by www.lightmybricks.com/ really brings it to life, and objectively I think it's my most advanced design. Much of this is in details that probably no one but myself will ever see, but such is the lot of the AFOL. :)
