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?
Vide Noir - Lord Huron
A cross-post from Instagram:
A belated thank you to my 2000 followers, from the cast and crew of Dark Legacies. I’ll get a bit personal on this one…
For those of us with a creative drive, being creatively productive is essential for mental well being. It scratches the existential itch, if just a bit. But finding the time and the motivation can be difficult. Sometimes all I want to do at the end (or beginning) of the day is check out. Community is crucial, which is why I’m so appreciative of all of you here, and on Flickr.
Every follower is a validation, but even more so, I want to thank those of you who leave comments and who actually read the narratives that accompany my builds. At the heart of it, my LEGO is primarily a medium to continue telling the story I started 15 years ago with the release of my Dark Legacies D&D books. Maybe one day I’ll write a new book, or find some other medium. In the meantime, with your support — my peers, mentors, and fans — I’ll just keep building.
Thank you.
🇬🇧 After getting feedback, I decided to take a layer of 1 stone between them. That was a challenging job but I am very satisfied with the result! even more realistic. 🇳🇱 Na het krijgen van feedback toch maar besloten om er een laag van 1 steen tussen uit te halen. Dat was nog een uitdagend klusje maar ben zeer tevreden over het resultaat! nog realistischer. #afol #Lego #Legotrain #legotrains #legocity #railpro606
This is a national museum dedicated to Swedish naval defense and naval history. The main architect behind the building is Björn Malmström.
This build will be part of a microscale diorama MOC with famous buildings in Karlskrona. Karlskrona is a small city in the south of Sweden and I lived there in 2004 to 2007. On May 25th 2024 I will display my diorama (and other MOCs) at Klossfestivalen in Karlskrona.
Coral House MOC is a contemporary home with influences from both modernism and industrial style. It is located in tropical surroundings and has a colour scheme inspired by the snake that gave house its name.
The main house body is mainly built with reddish brown grille bricks, trans-clear panels and plated walls in tan, reddish brown, dark red and black. One of the plated walls "fold over" the house to form a roof. One vertical and two horizontal and white cuboids are built with SNOT technique and attached to the main house body to achieve contrast.
The ground floor hosts an open plan living room and kitchen, a calm corner with sea view, a bedroom and a spacious bathroom. Upstairs you find a room with sofa and chess corner, a small bathroom and a roof terrace.
I have fix the narrow toe away and now it look more fit in overall design. Thank LuSim for the feedback. The hips area are redesign with double racket joint for more stability after a trial out with prototype torso. The mini figure stand along the leg show the perspective. The ideal height would be PG scale. Hopefully :)
For personal reasons, I haven't built that many MOCs this year. I hope to be more active next year. Happy New Year 2025!
Hidden Home Park is an underground modern, sustainable home hidden in a green park. Trees, bushes and flowers. A roof and an atrium garden. Kitchen garden with herbs.

It is my entry to the Swebrick contest Master Builder of the Year 2017 ending on March 1st 2018.
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.
Lilium Eco House [WIP] is named after the lily flower. It is an eco-house with solar panels on the roof, large windows facing south and west, vegetables growing in the conservatory, high levels of insulation and daylight and material absorbing the warmth of the sun. Yet, it is a comfortable house with open social areas and modern design.
A upgraded version from it's easier predecessor "Rhino"ST109. More armaments, better protection armour and hunger for enemy. Attach with a long cannon 88mm gun on top left cockpit, twins hand Gatling guns, Infra-red dome to detect enemy in day and night also with a secondary hand all purpose. Ideal warfare would be in the desert and urban city. This design comes with LED lights infant of the main cockpit. With strong reinforcement torso bar at the thigh it will provide a more stability, endurance and agility during the battlefront with an additional 2 hooks bar.
Interior overview. Open plan with dining area and kitchen.
Calmwater Cliff House is located on a cliff by the beach. Two floors with a terrace on each floor. Downstairs you find a spacious kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and home office. Upstairs you find a music corner with sea view, a bedroom and the main entrance.
As you see it´s a LEGO house and I´ve mainly used the colours black, dark tan, tan and reddish brown.
I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.
The Courier is a 4-wheel variant of the Scavrat Runner, designed for speed and extreme range. Couriers are dispatched between Union bases when rapid communication is key, and are the go-to for missions into Cathedral. It sports supplementary fuel tanks, nitrous oxide, and extensive onboard repair gear.
Ruler and creator of the almighty Air Katana
This build was part of a secret santa that I joined on the TTV message boards.
The person who I had to build something for has the Air Katana as his favorite weapon piece, so I made this fun character for him.
A modular castle MOC that I've built recently as a present for my six years old pal that I use to play with quite a lot (or just my nephew if you will ;) ). It includes a main gate with working drawbridge and portcullis, foldable walls and lots of space to place and pose the minifigures. As much as I could, I was trying to achieve the look and feel of the old LEGO castles that I played with as a kid back in the 80s and 90s.
Design of the battlements modules for the towers and the main gate was heavily inspired by the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator LEGO Ideas project by Michael Kalkwarf (www.flickr.com/photos/michaelkalkwarf/).
You can find the original project here:

This is the series where I reveal the brick lights within. The two fang position is able to push downward from the main face to create a intimidating affect to its enemy. Once everything is clear out, you'll see a big orange-red glow light that act as a main eyes for the mecha beast to scan afar inn the battle scene (sort of infra red)
