This is how I see Mark 43 armor suit. [made out of Lego bricks]
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.
In the future a new earth-like planet - named Ademis - is discovered. A group of people with different skills is sent to Ademis to live there and examine the pre-conditions for a larger colony to be established.
This is a health care module with a garden passage, examination area, treatment room and surgery room.
My previous MOC Part I is a habitat example module. My aim is to build further example modules to visualize the various functions of the colony.
About one year ago I published pictures of this MOC for the first time. My first modern home. Since then I've built many and it has become "my thing". A couple of days ago I looked at my old photos of Green Rock House and wasn't really satisfied with them. That is the reason I now publish some shots with better light setting.

Green Rock House - a build based on a vision of a sustainable and modern home close to nature.
Green Rock House is divided into three parts connected with hinges and technic pins. The roof of each floor can be taken off.
The house has full interior with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, music corner, bathroom and gym.
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.

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)

This is our first tentative at building a nativity scene in Lego.
We faced many obstacles: colors, parts, ideas, etc. but we had really so much fun!
It's Over! But I was just too tired after the last week to even post any updates.
I'm really happy with the event, over five days we had over 700 visitors, and surprisingly, we had 53 contestants in our MOCing contest :D . We were aired on four national television posts, and numerous newspapers. I had a great time, the kids had a great time, and the parents had a great time, and would like to do this sometimes soon (just not with the same AFOLs ;).
There are also pictures of the MOC posters that were at the event with the help of all of you. I just want to mention that in the end I had to cut down on the number of pictures due to the posters being small as they were. I apologize to those of you who can't find your MOCs on the posters, but your contribution is nonetheless appreciated, and it would be amazing to continue this kind of tradition at other events where foreign builders can not attend. Just a thought.

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.
I built this early last year, as the pandemic took hold - a dream of a time when we could all spend a lovely day out with our fellow fantastic, unique, and amazing inhabitants of this planet.
... Needless to say... as the year went on, I kept looking at this piece in the corner, growing ever more weary of the isolation, division, and schism in our society - but having incidentally only shared it sparingly, I felt kinda bummed.
Here's to a New Year in which we may eventually find ourselves safely and joyfully hanging out, after the storm clears- or at the very least a year with more amazing LEGO fur-babies, Minifigures, and wonderfully awesome online LEGO friends. Without the LEGO community's ability to thrive, or at least survive at times, during all of this, I feel last year would've been much more difficult. Especially for someone who's world was revolving around LEGO when things got bad.
My resolution is to be better about sharing, because after the incidents last year I have had trouble getting myself to document and post content, especially with all the time dedicated to producing videos instead of live programming for my LEGO events. Thank you all for being here, sharing awesome MOCs, and keeping the artistry and energy alive.
Play Well
