I made some changes to the knight I originally designed for a chess collaboration changing the base and updating the armor to use metallic gray to give it a more authentic look.. I then modified the base to give it a bit more height and drama. This is now up for support on LEGO Ideas.

Wandering around Portland Oregon with notable AFOLs.

This piece was inspired by a sketch that artist Vincent LeLievre had shared this past summer. I’ve interpreted his sketch in LEGO and have added details that are typical of my building style.

For me, the piece follows the direction of my work "A Vanishing Brooklyn" in that it is based on the mingling of two architectural styles. Here, we have the older, weathered façade and first floor, maintained and sustained, with the addition of more contemporary modules built upward and on to it. Also, included are the green roof elements from Vincent’s original sketch, which I’ve interpreted to also elicit the ‘sustained’ aspect of this piece. I am really happy with the results here. Much like "A Vanishing Brooklyn", this piece was inspired by another artists concept and I knew I wanted to interpret it the moment I saw it. Enjoy!

The modified black brick inspired me to do some microscale experimenting.

My first attempt at a complete and modular castle as an AFOL. This truly was a lifelong dream. Built for Novemburcht contest at LOWLUG.

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.

And here I am at the Novegro Hobby Model Expo for the official presentation of my new (and first!) book dedicated to Italian historic trains that I reproduced with Lego. The volume also contains instructions for building two versions of the E 424 locomotive, shown on the cover, at 7 and 3 stud.

Fellow AFOL, Sjaak Kolster, used to serve aboard the Royal Netherlands Navy frigate Hr.Ms. Abraham Crijnssen and is now building a spectacular 1/32 scale Lego model of the ship. He got in touch with my through a shared work connection a while ago, during the pandemic, and finally got together earlier last year, to discuss how to build a Lego Lynx helicopter for the ship. One thing led to another and I agreed to build him one. This is the finished article. He'll add a few decals for the markings.

This was created as a LUG challenge to build something in microscale on a 16 x16 stud plate. I love microscale creations so I jumped at the chance to do this one. Fun parts used here are the chain used as the bridge over the waterfall, hot dogs for palm trees, and minifig epaulets for the sailboat.

Set looked like a corporate display model, so replaced all the grey containers with a colourful collection to look more like a working ship.
