These are mid-construction photos showing how the scales on the koi fish were designed. A line of "ring pop" clips were place along the top ridge of the fish to hold the half round tiles. This allows the tiles to be moved along two axes which is needed near the head where the "scales" are moved to various angles.
I made a Lego version of my Jeep, Sally! I will never take it apart. I just hope I don't drop it. The chassis underneath came from an old 1978 Lego set. It has working steering, turning engine, pistons that move up and down, working differential in the back, and working transmission with 2 gears. I made the engine, transmission, and steering assembly into modular sections that can be removed so you can watch them work independently, or repair them when something goes wrong. Then I finally got around to building a complete body (well, except for the roll cage). I made it to scale whenever possible and fudged it when it was not possible. There are no fancy modern custom parts or cheats here. The pieces are all vintage 1978 with a couple exceptions for the trim, such as the driving lights and parking lights, and the tailgate hinges. I spent a total of $0 on it, because I actually had all of these Legos sitting around from my childhood (and a few sets from my adulthood). Thanks Mom and Dad! I just noticed that the original set actually had a Jeep option that you could build. Mine looks a lot better though. lego.wikia.com/wiki/956_Auto_Chassis

Number 014 of HispaBrick Magazine®, the magazine for fans of LEGO® constructions, is now available.
In this new edition Gary King presents his fleet of Battlestar Galactica ships, Akiyuki Kawaguchi amazes with his GBC modules, Katie Walker shows how to create mosaics using cheese slopes and we interview the creator Bruce Lowell.
We explain how many AFOL projects can become a reality, either through LEGO® CUUSOO or by means of Crowdfunding.
In the section Pillars of the community this time we talk t The Brothers Brick and we tell you about our participation in different events over the last few months, in addition to several reviews and tutorials about LDraw, MINDSTORMS and Pneumatics.
And don't miss the second part of the article on the MILS system, a modular integrated landscaping system developed by a member of our community.
Enjoy!
Built using the LEGO Mustang, Voltron, and parts I had lying around this moc is inspired by instagrammer @fryewerk
I've been tagged and Ice Bucket challenged all in the same week. So why not kill 2 birds with one stone? Here's a few things you should know about me:
1.In the words of the Heidelberg Catechism: "I am not my own, but belong body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ."
2. I am blessed to be married for 10 years. Each year is better than the last.
3. I have 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl, and a 4th on the way, due next month.
4. I have the most awesome job in the world: I am a Youth Pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America. This picture is taken at our church with a few members of our Youth Group.
5. I am OLD. I am 34 years old and I've discovered these gray things coming out of my head. However, I don't think I've ever really grown up. I spend my time playing with my kids, hanging out with students, and building castles.
6. I've been building with Lego since I was about 5 years old. My best childhood memories were with King's Castle 6080 and Black Falcon's Fortress 6074.
7. Castle has always been my favorite theme, and probably always will be. Pirates are fun too, but Castle will always be the best.
8. I live in Amish Country, Pennsylvania, USA. Don't believe what you see in Amish Mafia and the other TV shows. Amish people are more normal than most people think. The other day I saw a bunch of Amish teenagers in a buggy with ground effect neon lights and loud dance music coming out of it. They went past our house at about 1 in the morning.
9. My biggest literary influences (other than the Bible) are: C. S. Lewis, G. K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton, and Tim Keller. And probably Tolkien too.
10. I really like spicy food. Mexican, Chinese, and Thai would be my favorites.
Small beach diorama. Made in May/2008. One of my early works as AFOL. And no, it wasn't supposed to be a nude beach. ;)

I just expanded our storage system. I'm a little concerned, because my little boy can't reach the upper levels yet, but he typically just builds out of one drawer anyway, so it probably doesn't matter. We just broke down a lot of new sets, and there is a bunch of sorting left to do, as you can see. Also, you get a sneak preview of some works in progress... I'm sure you are all a-quiver!
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

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.
