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.
Trying out Different ideas using the new legs from the teenage mutant ninja turtles range, one of the best elements in the new range.
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.
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.
This is not a new MOC sadly just a quick updated and revisit my old Fighter plane the FB12 FOXBAT FIGHTER Mark II. Found some old pictures and yet unpublished here.
Build way back in the late 2013 after I decided to upgraded the Foxbat Mark I which i thought could do better in term of design. Fold out gun cannon, landing gear, flap wing, hidden missiles below bay and LED light on the cockpit. One of the first MOC plane i did attempt to make with LED light!
This Foxbat was finally upgraded in2014. Another MOC version of it? Mark III? Maybe ;) Let me know what do you think?
FUN FACTS: Oh I did uploaded this Foxbat MOC in LEGOIdeas but couldn’t even make it to a thousand but i got a lot of good feedbacks and i do appreciated it. My MOC is one of kind.
Inspiration comes from the strangest of places sometimes. Usually a picture you see in passing, or an idea in your head, this for me was a song. Dark and unknown Vide Noir comes at you from the shadows of your mind wondering, what if I never come back again? Sadness comes to the forefront, but what if their is hope beyond the veil, the satisfying end to a life well lived?

Many nights have I heard her voice
Whisper my name without making a noise
Calling out from a pure, black void
Tears of sorrow or tears of joy
Drops in my cup as my mind is destroyed
Staring into a pure, black void
So what if I'm living out past the edge?
So what if I never come back again?
Many evils have I enjoyed
Prowling the night raising hell with the boys
Getting high on a pure, black void
I am only an aimless soul
Heading into a pure, black void
So what if I'm living out past the edge?
So what if I never come back again?

This build is created exclusively with parts from the LEGO Architecture set Las Vegas (21047). I got that set from my husband as a Christmas gift and couldn't help experimenting a bit...

The Sturm Faust is a hand-held rocket propelled grenade. The warhead is carried a shaped charge full of TNT that will create a devastating results which will disable a enemy mecha mobility. Once the warhead was fired a folded stabilizing fins will be deploy for stability as they left the launch tube. It had a pedal-like lever near the projectile that ignited the propellant when squeezed. One downside of this weapon is that since it's a non-guided weapon, it is difficult to hit targets with high mobility especially for Mistel.
Nice and cheerful then... non lego wings (D.I.Y) but right sort of size for the fig, imo , they cost ..... £1 yay.(plus paint) this was just a quick build to see if the wings worked, hope to do a bigger scene when i get time.

Day 6-7 of Vignweek 2024. Theme: A long time ago in a country far, far away...
Wow, this is my 5th year in review post! I'd say 2014 was probably my busiest year yet ...and not just in terms of the builds.
THE BUILDS
Two builds went uber-viral this year...
- Back in March, my version of the Twitter-breaking Ellen Oscar Selfie got picked up in the media storm. But the big surprise was Ellen featuring it on the show herself.
- Then there was my DOOM diorama. I decided it was time to man up (or should that be ShiP up?) and create something really huge for a change. Took me all summer, too. And while the build got plenty of media attention, and was a big hit at BrickCon, what people really latched onto was my silly 2-minute fly-thru video! Tsk, people.
Anyway, thanks mainly to these two builds, my lifetime Flickr views skyrocketed from 2M up to almost 6M. Which was nice.
THE SHENANEGANS
So much other LEGO mischief this year too...
- At Emerald City Comic Con, I unveiled my two MLP builds and managed to get the voice actors to sign them. Then terrified everyone with my full body pony cosplay!
- At BrickCon I unveiled the Obama interview video, in which the President's AFOL status is revealed, to the amusement of the Con audience.
- The Kraken was wrecked in an office move, so I had to bring it home and rebuild it. With a few upgrades, naturally. We call him Steven Austin now.
- Thanks to Tommy's nomination, I jumped on the much-frowned-upon ALS Ice Bucket video challenge bandwagon. And took over his show in the process.
AND THE GOINGS-ON
- Joe foolishly let me and Tommy Williamson co-edit an issue of BrickJournal focusing on Bricks of Character. Writing articles is hard enough, but I wasn't prepared for the amount of work it takes to interview other builders. And I did six of them. But I'm very pleased with the end result. Go buy a copy now!
- At the Seattle film festival we finally got to see the new LEGO documentary (which features quite a few Seattle builders). Pleased to say it is really well made. Tommy's animation was excellent. And I get my own theme music for my segment! We were even invited on-stage after each screening to take audience questions. Looking forward to its general release early next year.
- Josh and Matt's channel Beyond the Brick goes from strength to strength, and I was honored to give them a helping hand this year by offering personalized LEGO busts as a top-tier reward for their Brickworld Kickstarter project. I also had fun taking part in their 24-hour charity live stream, where I invited people to don wigs to raise extra money, and built a MOC on-air based on a random topic of their choice.
- I was given the opportunity to contribute a panel to the Pieces Project, which is attempting to set a new world record for the comic with the most contributing artists. My panel was, of course, made of LEGO! Such a fun experience, to be part of something bigger, and to see my work alongside that of 'real' artists.
- And last but not least, my old friends Andrew and Josh asked me to help them out with this little LEGO blog they run called the Brothers Brick. Perfect timing really, as I had just retired The Living Brick. Being a one-man-band is hard work (ask Tommy!), so it's a nice change to be part of a larger group of diverse contributors, that can get so much more accomplished.
- What else? Erm, one of my builds may have won a contest, and a couple may have appeared in some books. Yeah, it's sickening, and I'm such a fucking blow-hard! But Wil Wheaton still isn't returning my calls. So I have that to be thankful for.

Now we are waiting for Lucia! In the early morning of December 13th, Lucia and her singing procession enter schools, pre-schools, offices, care homes and churches all over Sweden to light up the winter darkness. She has a crown of candles on her head. Handmaidens, star boys, gingerbread men and Christmas elves follow her trail. We usually listen to the songs while eating saffron buns and gingerbread thins.

Assault Rifle gun. Comes with a detachable magazine. Comes with a periscope for better aiming at target from a distance. Original there is a foldable resting bar design here but omitted in last minute due to design issue. Disclaimer I am not promoting violence with gun.
A floating home by the sea. Modern and comfortable. The house is surrounded by a wooden deck and shallow water. A bridge connects the deck to the guay. Fully interiored as always. Kitchen, toilet and living room downstairs. Bathroom, bedroom and storage space upstairs. You find photos of the interiors in my photostream.
Inspiration comes from childhood summers and sailing with my parents. It was a challenge to catch the maritime feeling with details such as railings and stays and at the same time keep the design clean and modern.
I used dark blue bricks to create the water surface. The more common technique with transparent tiles or plates wasn't really on option because it didn't fit in the colour scheme.

This was the first AFOL event that I went to aside from Star Wars Days at Legoland and it was great. I got to see a lot of great models and talk to some nice builders and vendors. I hope to go to these things more regularly and meet a lot more fellow AFOLs in person in the future. Feel free to tag yourself on pictures with your creations.
Cherry Loft House MOC (still work in progress) is a contemporary summer house with a large sloping roof and sleeping loft.
After a detour on the planet Ademis I have now returned to modern architecture. Dark red, white and black are the main colours of this house. Fully interiored with several cozy corners to read a book.
10th build in my Iron Builder round against LittleJohn, using the Toy Winder Key part in dark orange.
Check the video here
When the autumn wind is roaring outside and winter is getting closer it would be nice to have a place like this. A modern cottage with fireplace and large windows.
This build will hopefully be on display at LUG Swebrick´s first post-pandemic event in Hässleholm, Sweden, in November 2021.
Instructions availabe on Rebrickable
What happens when you shove a massive engine into the bed of a tiny Kei Truck and strap on a pair of nitrous oxide tanks? This.
Artsand House MOC is a flirt with brutalism. A modern home with art gallery, spa and large bedroom with a garden view. Quadrangular concrete house bodies meet organic nature. A dog is waiting for the owner to come home.
In August 2019 I displayed some of my houses at the Kloss på Kloss exhibition in Hässleholm, Sweden. A visitor asked me if I didn´t have any brutalist houses. I said no and explained that it probably would be too boring. It would be hard to create the dynamics needed to make a modern house MOC interesting. After the exhibition I started thinking and decided to give brutalism a chance. Not purist brutalism, but rather contemporary architecture flirting with brutalism...
Bedroom furniture created in the on-going process of building House on Striped Pillars (still work in progress). I wanted to create a clean and elegant look. The main challenge was to hide both studs and tubes using only a few pieces and to attach the bed to the floor.
My contribution to #BMDWeapons Dora SR 44 Sniper Rifles.
This sniper rifles gun completely acquired with a bench rest quality stainless steel barrel. The DORA SR 44 has a detachable box magazine and an adjustable stock, both length of pull and deadly accurate from afar. The 3-yellow marking on the barrel gun indicate the kills score by the gunner.
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!

Blade Radetsky was a Navy FROG (Forest River Ocean Gangsters) in the Great War of the Tribes. He operated a mech specifically built for secret operations and deep dive missions (because of the mech's IP68 rating).
Before the war, Blade was a botanist and a chemist hobbyist and he easily switched to professional pest control service provider. His chemist skills allowed him to create a strong copper sulfate formula, which helps the good plants to grow. He might've killed few tiger mosquito colonies here and there, but it's not like someone misses them.
