Something I randomly found when I dug my old Lego collection out of my parent's basement. Makes me think I should dig out the pieces and build the model . . .
It took nearly four years (mostly due to a three-year hiatus in the middle), but I finally finished the interior of my custom City Hall
This is the first of a few Covenant vehicles I am planning to do.
I love building in the dark purple colour and when used in contrast with dark bluish grey I think they look so aesthetically pleasing!
The hardest part, I find, about building Halo vehicles is trying to keep the scale correct for both standard minifigs and brick built figs. The Grunt in this picture wasn't too awkward, but i've made some brick built Elites and Brutes and trying to get them to fit on the same vehciles is a nightmare!
More to come soon!
A mosaic ode to one of my favorite graphic novels, now enjoying a second-life as the acclaimed series on HBO.
Pictures from the Swebrick LEGO® event at Flygvapenmuseum in Linköping this weekend where some of the most skilled LEGO® creators in Sweden gathered to show their creations.
One of my requirements was that this chassis with a Jeep body on it must maintain the modular design that I incorporated into the chassis a few years ago. Although the chassis was loosely based on the design of a Lego set from 1978, I've modified it so much that I'd say it's mostly my own now. The steering assembly, engine, transmission, and hood can all be removed in a matter of seconds. Then you can play with each component individually and see how it works. The chassis is yellow (though the original set called for red), the interior, fenders, and bumpers are black, the body and steering assembly are red, and the engine and transmission are blue. Making the different components in different colors gives it a cool diagram-like appearance and was a great way to avoid running out of Legos. Another requirement was that I built it completely out of Legos that I already had, so that's one of the reasons you see some compromises.
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.
I got tagged already twice, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon as long as it is running at full speed.
1: My flickr username is derived from my favourite bicycle manufacturer.
2: Speaking of cycling, it's one of the few things which keep me sane.
3: I try to ignore the voices most of the time.
4: Actually, I don't like the sea very much. I'm more attracted to mountains.
5: Я учу русский язык.
6: I don't like happy dreams.
7: 2009 was both the best and worst year of my life.
8: I know vector algebra, but fail at two-digit divisions.
9: I still buy CDs. Mp3 downloads suck.
10: I collect T-shirts.
So, here are the rules: If you got tagged by me and are bored enough, post a pic of yourself, write 10 facts about you and tag 10 of your contacts.
If you don't do it, Oogie Boogie will eat your soul!
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.

It's small but still enough to operate a couple trains and have fun 😊. The sidings on the right can be used as an Inglenook shuntting puzzle.

I came up with the idea of creating diorama of mages dueling within a alchemist’s laboratory in October of 2024. The Frost Wizard was already built when Brickscalibur came around with a similar category. I then built the Flame Witch and entered the two models in that competition just for fun. The end goal was always to place them in a large diorama along with a cowering Alchemist and their familiars. I had lots of fun coming up with things to place on the shelves and creating the Chimera trophy over the fireplace. I even added a microscale version of my Mesusa’s Lair model from last year as an Easter Egg.
