I'm a huge fan of Shannon Sproule and this is my version(attempt) at his "Gand Heavy Transport". Not exactly the same, but all credit goes to him. If you aren't following him, you should be.

Built using the LEGO Mustang, Voltron, and parts I had lying around this moc is inspired by instagrammer @fryewerk

I recently completely rebuilt or redesigned the 76206 set from LEGO. The proportions are now correct, which was a problem in the original set and the figure can do the famous landing pose.
Orange Beach House MOC is a comfortable hide-away by the sea. It's a split-level house built directly on the beach. The idea of sandy cliffs and ground terrace with a small pool came to me first and then the rest of the house emerged along the way.
Downstairs you find a livingroom, bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs you find a calm room with sea view, kitchen and study. Fully interiored.
The building technique used to create the beach was new to me, but I think it turned out well. I used lots of curved slopes...
The building process is further described on my Instagram page (@betweenbrickwalls). Link in bio.
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...

Villa Amanzi is a luxury villa located on Phuket Island in Thailand. It was designed by architectural firm Original Vision (www.original-vision.com) and is operated by Paresa Resorts (www.paresaresorts.com). Details on the villa, including rental information (if you have a large amount of cash burning a hole in your pocket), are available from www.villaamanzi.com.
It features a 15 metre infinity pool overlooking the Andaman Sea, 6 bedrooms, and a contemporary modern design nestled into the edge of a ravine and up against an impressive rock face that penetrates into the house on multiple floors

Notes on the build:
Weight: 22.6 kg (50 lbs)
Dimensions: 77 cm x 51 cm x 59 cm (30 in x 20 in x 23 in) [96 studs x 64 studs x 61 bricks]
- Each floor of the house is fully furnished
- Floors are removable for showing the interior
- Everything is stud-attached (or other "legal attachments") except 4 cheese slopes for the fountain on the middle floor (which are kept in place by double-sided tape -- gravity will do, but this makes it easier for transport)
Before I disassembled this house I had to take some better photos of the interior. Here is my original description of this MOC:
"House of Three is a contemporary Scandinavian family home. I've tried to catch contemporary Scandinavian architecture in colours, floor plan and roof design. The interior and furniture in inspired by IKEA and other Scandinavian designs. Comfortable living suitable for a small family."

This past weekend I celebrated my 18th birthday. This meant crossing the threshold between a TFOL to a full-fledged AFOL, or Adult Fan of Lego. In March of 2006, I created my first account on a Lego fan site, the since deceased Minifig Customization Network. From there I was introduced to the incredible online community of both minifig customizers and Lego builders, and began to fill my own Brickshelf page. My first few years online were mainly spent sculpting helmets and custom pieces, and drawing decals in Photoshop and Illustrator. It was Lego that pushed me to teach myself such programs, as well as develop an interest in Photography. In 2008 I would travel to Seattle to attend my first Lego convention, BrickCon. Since then I have traveled across the country to five conventions over the past three years, meeting some of my closest friends and participating in huge collaborative builds.
This past June I graduated from High School, finished my last cross country and volleyball seasons, earned my Eagle Scout award, and will be attending Brigham Young University in the fall. As an admission essay, I wrote the following;
1. Describe any special interests and/or passions and give examples of how you have developed knowledge and/or creativity in these areas.
200 words or less
By the time I started high school, it was clear I wasn’t destined to be a typical teen. Teenagers are not supposed to play with Lego. But, like the tiny plastic bricks themselves, something clicked inside me and building with Lego became much more than child’s play. Lego bricks became my medium of choice as I began creating intricate works of art and engineering. To my surprise, I was far from alone. As my landing craft, troop transports, and apocalyptic vignettes began to receive praise and publication in dozens of blogs and websites around the globe, I connected with the AFOL Adult Fan of Lego community, a talented group of artists and engineers who've reimagined what can be done with these deceptively simple bricks. When I attended my first “BrickCon” in Seattle, Washington, I met many of these inspirational builders face to face for the first time. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to numerous events from coast-to-coast displaying my individual works and collaborating on large-scale projects. With each experience, I've further developed my talents and my sense of self. Typical teen, or not, I’m a conceptual artist, building the world as I see it, brick-by-brick.
I don't know what I'm planning to do with my Lego when I get to college, but I know that without Lego in my life over the past 5 years, I would not have gotten to this point.

The Lamborghini Huracán (Spanish for "hurricane") is a sports car manufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Lamborghini replacing the previous V10 offering, the Gallardo. The Huracán was revealed online in December 2013, then made its worldwide debut at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show, and was released in the market in the second quarter of 2014.
The Huracán received a mid-cycle update in 2019, now being called the Huracán Evo. It now shares its engine and some of the technology with the Performante variant.
The updated version of the Huracán has a more aggressive design language, the new front bumper has integrated aeroblades for improved downforce along with the rear styling inspired by the Performanté variant, having the same rear diffuser, exhaust pipe position and radiators. A new ducktail spoiler improves downforce by 5 times as compared to the outgoing model.
Huracán STO (2021–present)
Huracan STO Rear
The Huracán STO (Super Trofeo Omologato) is a track focused variant of the Huracan. It is completely different from other Huracan variants. The STO has a taller rear wing with a roof snorkel for engine cooling. There is a shark fin aerodynamic device connecting the roof snorkel with the rear wing. The engine cover is reminiscent of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Evo race cars. The entire hood opens to reveal a small compartment for storing racing equipment, the body is made of 75% carbon fibre, the engine and the power output of the STO is the same as the Huracan Perfomante and the Huracan Evo but it has Rear-wheel drive with Rear Wheel Steering system, it has CCMR Brakes inspired from the Formula 1. The STO comes with three new modes: STO for road driving, TROFEO for fast lap times on dry tarmac, and PIOGGIA for wet weather driving. The bucket seats on the interior feature racing harnesses.
