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.

title - Afol's decade
first yellow box - First Afol Day
first bubble - This Moc is Epic!
second yellow box - 10 years later
second bubble - Not bad but it needs to be bigger!
Really happy with how this turned out. I made a short video about it if you want to see me try to swoosh it around.
This is the first image from my working Lego microscope. Made with a couple of Scooby Doo magnifying glasses and a light brick from the POTC lighthouse. I need to build the rest of the mechanism but it's off to a good start.
This is a redesigned, custom version of the Lego model Creator Beetle (10252). A fun, technically challenging design. Uses rare dark azure pieces from three sets, original Lego chrome, and custom chromed wheels.
BELAKRYM BLUEGORGE, THE SILENT STONE.
(Summer Showdown series, Pt. 3)
This is my third entry into the #haonsummershowdown2 contest being run by @haon.brx . The theme for this week was "nature." As with my last six-week contest, I elected to interconnect my characters into a tale of adventure and triumph! For this batch of characters, I wanted to make sure they were a colorful cast, as well as fun and whimsical, as summer should be. The whimsy in this character was the idea of an individual literally made of stone somehow being light on his feet. Plus, raw earth often gets overlooked in the "nature" category of fantasy characters. Step aside leafy folk, the rock folk are here to stay! The character for this week is a Terrakin (homebrew) Ranger of the Monster Hunter Archetype.

There was certainly something afoot in the forest. Bramblebrook was often steered clear of because of its harsh and tangled undergrowth. It never seemed to bother Belakrym, however—the thorns were nothing to his hardened, stoney skin. As such, he was one of the only creatures that lurked around these parts that wasn't simple fauna. That was, up until two days prior.
Belakrym spent most of his life in the wilderness, studying monsters and beasts alike, and attuning to the earth and her cycles. He could sense disturbances in the environment, and had slain many a foe that threatened to disrupt the balance of the ecosystem established there. But the creature he had begun tracking two days ago was no ordinary pest...
It had enormous inky black wings, and a muscled predator's body like a hellhound. Its tail bore the scorpion-like stinger of some manticore breeds, but its head was even more monstrous... It had less of a face, and something more akin to an all-encompassing maw. Row after row of hook-shaped teeth lined its jaws, which it used to latch onto its prey. A mane flowed out behind it, like embers of shadow flickering off of its head. It might've been a twistedly beautiful sight, if not for the havoc it had wreaked on the forest.
The terrakin had been watching it carefully for some time, learning its habits and maneuvers, so he could know how best to oust it from his neck of the woods. He'd watched it drain the life out of those caught in its maw, and he'd watched it flap its powerful wings hard enough to generate a gust which could blow back prey. But the one thing he hadn't seen it do—notice him stalking it.
The Bluegorge name was one of little renown, and he was one of very few to have left their community. He'd always stood out a bit, and his family was always amazed—if not also dismayed—at his propensity to sneak about undetected. It was a gift he wasn't sure how he came by, but one that he thanked mother earth for over these last couple of days. He didn't want to face the monster before he was ready, for he wasn't sure he would walk out of the encounter at all. An inconvenience it was, then, to say the least, when those two brawny, bumbling idiots walked right into its hunting grounds.
A rebuild and duplication of my original 7TP I posted to Instagram a couple years ago. I also got some new led lights for Christmas and am still messing around with them, so I apologize for the inconsistent lighting between the photos.

Collectable Minifigures Series 21 has landed; and it might be a little different from what you're expecting.
The big change is in how many we get. There's 12 unique figures. Previous non-IP series had 16, and some of the IP related series as many as 22.
It's not just the number of unique figures that's changed, the box size has too. There's 36 figures in the box. Previous series have had 60. In my case, when opened, there were 3 complete sets. Which is awesome news for the completists out there - no chase figs.
We can speculate about what these changes mean for the future of CMFs, but what it means for this series is a lot more bang for the buck. The paddle surfer comes packaged with a dolphin. The Space Police fig is brimming with accessories. The Aviator girl and Centaur have to be some of the easiest pieces to feel for yet. Then there's two beautiful costume figs, and a ton of easter-eggs like the blacktron symbols on the Violin Boys shirt.
There are still things to nitpick about though. Not just that Tom Hanks isn't bundled with Wilson. No, I'm talking about the Alien criminal. We've simply come to expect better from our CMFs, and with the reduced numbers to the full set, it's a head scratcher that this isn't one of the designs that got cut. Maybe it's because he(she?) provides real play value to our new Space Police Guy as an arch-nemesis? (And can we talk more about how Space Police Guy is a direct tribute to the Space sets of AFOL youth?)
This is simply another awesome CMF Series by LEGO. I can't wait to create stories with them. And you'll be able to get your hands on the Jan 1st.
Until then, I'm going to get photographing with them, and have plenty more CMF fun to come over the next 12 days. Stay tuned.
A group of four gentlemen with a liking for the bricks, meet at an irirsh pub in berlin, last evening. First it seems to become a very serious meeting with high potential themes. But things went very, very strange ...

This is an on-going project meant to become my entry to the Swebrick contest Master Builder of the Year 2018. The theme is "Children" and the build is supposed to be surrounded by streets and connected to the other entries.
I've chosen to build a pre-school called "The Cloud".
Tomorrow I have to fix the underside, add a bit more greebles and then it's photo time. September has never gone so fast :)
