Lego has ditched a long-standing partnership with Shell after a Greenpeace video used its toys to illustrate an Arctic oil spill.
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.
This is me 32 years ago. I had two sisters who were merciless they dressed up as a fairy just for giggles. Now I do it on Sundays for the same reason.. ;)
Finally finished sorting my haul from the draft at our LUG meeting. The set was 70735 Ninjago Ronin R.E.X. Fun set with a lot of very cool elements. Not totally sure what I'll be building first, but we shall see soon!

HIGH LORDS OF THE SEASONAL COURTS.
(Feybruary series Pt. 5)
This is my fifth entry in a series of posts for the #Feybruary contest hosted by @bricksandfables over on Instagram! As one of the hosts, I will, of course, not be in the running, but I still wanted to participate in making some fun Fey! If you haven't heard of Bricks and Fables LUG, I highly encourage you to check it out! It's a group of builders online that love the intersection of Lego and D&D. We hold monthly challenges, and often do impromptu collabs, as well as the occasional contest with prizes!
My series revolved around a reimagining of what High Fae Lords and Ladies might look like for the four seasonal courts. Here they all are together! Once again playing with backgrounds, so let me know if you prefer with or without! I also included some shots with a basic translucent, prismatic base to focus more on the characters themselves. Let me know which you like best!
The Feywild is a realm of obscene beauty and obscene terror all at once. It is a realm of paradox; a realm of contradictory forces at play. Four seasonal courts exist within a slice of the Feywild, each vying to hold the lines of their domain, while some even try to expand their borders. The High Lords and Ladies of the four seasonal courts represent powerful concepts: Winter represents resilience, Spring represents dominion, Summer represents wrath, and Autumm represents entropy. Though the courts are each mesmerizing in their own way, this beauty is the veil behind which the High Fae's true nature is revealed.
The High Fae scheme, trick, and manipulate others to perpetuate their own position in the world, and to guarantee their own holy eternity. They are primordial forces of nature—the very laws of the universe incarnate. It stands to reason that a realm so suffused with wild magic would indeed be ruled by the embodiments of the extremes that lie within. In the Feywild, power rules, and shimmers in dazzling patterns. Before you realize what is before you and see through the glamour of it all, it may already be too late...
Hello to the flickr users. Here some images of my latest (digital) MOC, a fictive transport train from the galactic republic. It´s a sort of gunship on rails, other call it the Maersk from Star Wars. :-)
The train can be easily motorized with the usual Powered Up components. Credits go to the great MOCers First Order Lego (BARC speeder) and JastaBrick (AT-RT), their fantastic designed speeder and walker fit perfectly to the freight wagons.
I hope you like the MOC. #legolux1973 #legostarwars #lego #starwars
This is my first attempt at a Micropolis build, to be added to the collaborative at Brickfair Virginia this year. The building itself, despite its small size, is made of around 500 pieces (not including the base). The geometry is interesting, if you look at it all closely. The design was quite challenging. The hole in the base needed to place the building in, for example, is 19.5 plates square. That was more difficult to build than I imagined. There are three steps down from the road level, at a half plate each. Hope you enjoy.

Taketime Island is located in the sunny archipelago, where life is harmonic and relaxing. Here you find a bakery, café and diving club. You might also notice the old sailor staring longingly at the horizon or the beginning romance between the café worker and her customer (or the jealous man spying on them through the window...)
Instructions availabe on Rebrickable
What happens when you shove a massive engine into the bed of a tiny Kei Truck and strap on a pair of nitrous oxide tanks? This.
[Sound on] I finished my build for this month’s RLUG (Sacramento Brick Builders) challenge: Create a bouquet or skyscraper. So I made an animation of the Soilent Green flower shop. I hear the flower arrangements are quite edible… just not so many returning customers for some reason…
This was lots of fun to do and animate. I designed everything in Bricklink Studio and textured and animated using Cinema 4D with Octane and Greyscalegorilla Light Kit Pro 3. I finished the video in After Effects with my own vocal sound effects and a song by DapperChapMusic, composed by Michael Collings. All of this was possible because of the awesome computer from Puget Systems.
Hope you like it. “Soilent Green is LEGO minifigures!!!”

This is my interpretation of what part of an average AFOL/TFOL's room would look like. This Minifigure is not supposed to represent me or anyone else I know.
The builder takes a fine photo of his latest MOC using a powerful camera and a mini lighting studio (for soft light).
Karmanjaka. The land of the tyrant Tengil.
This is my microscale take on Karmanjaka - the land of the tyrant Tengil - from Astrid Lindgren's children's novel Brothers Lionheart published in 1973. A dark story about death and evil, but also a story about love and fighting spirit. Two young brothers die and come to Nangijala, where they travel over Karma Falls to Karmanjaka in their struggle against Tengil and his dragon Katla.
I recently read Brothers Lionheart to my son and decided to build my version of this scene.
Last year I created a grid to catalogue all my 2010 creations, so I thought I'd do the same for 2011 too.
This year saw a smaller number of creations, but they were typically much larger, including further work on my new 12" character scale, as well as multiple dioramas for the Pythonscape project. In 2012, I hope to focus more heavily on 12" models, and less on miniland scale.
I got a lot of love from people for my recent Freddie Mercury creation. Thankyou! Based on traffic reported by sites such as imgur.com, this model was seen by at least a million people over the Thanksgiving holiday! This also led to a burst of UK press coverage of my work too, some of which almost made sense!
The unexpected virality of the Freddie model made me wonder if we might all now finally be able to forget about Lego Stephen Hawking. Except that he continues to remain popular and crop up in some unexpected places, including a German bioscience journal! In fact, the only MOC that gave Freddie and Stephen a real run for their money this year was Miyazakitopia, which seemed to go randomly viral in the Far East about 3 times this year. I guess it's the gift that keeps on giving!
I don't have the energy to tally the kind of 'stats' that I reported last year. So instead I'll just list the memorable one-offs: one BrickJournal Article; one Steampunk convention; one videogame appearance (allegedly!); one rebooted blog; one beard; one ton of new NanoBlock; one Lego store display; and one Lego porno shoot (...a long sad story, to be revealed in January!)
Hoping that Santa brings all you boys and girls the Lego you desire this Christmas, and that you have a prosperous 2012 that does not end in a giant firey apocalypse!
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.
Bedroom loft of Autumn Stream House MOC.
Autumn Stream House MOC is a modern home lying among the trees coloured by autumn. Underneath a small stream is living its own life.
My first attempt at a complete and modular castle as an AFOL. This truly was a lifelong dream. Built for Novemburcht contest at LOWLUG.
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!

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.
It was mid-February. Spring was knocking at the door of old man winter but he wasn't ready to answer. The street was alive with it's normal sounds. The morning paper felt good in my hand. It didn't beep or ding. I didn't have to scroll when I read it. The black ink smudged on the paper as a streak ran across my yellow finger. That's when I saw the small print of the article at the bottom of the page. My heart raced. She was back.
