Lego System (SPACE)

I wanted to do something classic after my first micro castle, & close to the contest base restrictions. Man this model was really hard to photograph with a point & shoot camera >=(

Notoriously over-armed and under-powered, Blacktron's Wild Boars caused considerable havoc in the Despol Quarter. Despite being ridiculously slow, they were so well armoured that local security forces found themselves completely emptying their ordinance stocks into the Boars without it having the desired effect of stopping them.
(Been influenced by the recent "Space punk" style of the alien ships in SP3)
While I do like walking tank style mechs with heavy weaponry and thick boxy armor, I sometimes feel like there are many unexplored aesthetics within the mecha genre. I thought it would be fun to do a mech with more organic elements and no guns.
The Mobile Medical Unit is like a space ambulance/ER. Comes complete with two operating/recovery tables and all the supplies needed to stabilize patients before their extraction. Huge sensor array guides the MMU with uplink to the carrier vessel for increased guidance.
Mediocrity thy name be... this build.
This was supposed to be something completely different, but it didn't turn out good, so I just repurposed it with the first idiotic thing that came to mind.
Many thanks to everyone who tried to help make this work.
Escaping from the tomb and putting someone else in their place.
Rather than quoting Bible verses you're going to hear a whole lot today and half of you will discredit as cult utterances, I thought I'd just put this out instead: Angels, Heaven, and other aspects of our faith are concepts difficult to wrap one's head around, and right now we can't. So a lot of people dismiss them as petty imaginings and larger-than-life reflections of things we can see and touch. "Giant humans with bird wings? Haha how pagan."
Consider, just for a brief while, the implications of perhaps these being original concepts; our concepts and ideas little reflections that are missing pieces, and the only way those who saw angels or Heaven could describe them was through Earthly terms, resulting in outrageous-sounding descriptions filled with lions' heads, wheels within wheels, and a lot of gold when there simply was no way to utter the element that made their appearance unutterable. Plato, though not completely right, had hit on something with his Myth of the Cave, now you just need someone to guide you out of it...
This brief little build is also destined to be an entry for FLONAPRIL, it seems: www.flickr.com/groups/flonapril/

Definitely my favourite MOC. :3
I updated my old one a bit 'cos (Hopefully) this will go on display at Brickworld!
Dodos are Ostricheans favorite XS trucks. they are fast, light with good cargo capacity and extremely cheap. Not to mention they are space worthy! Get one now at your Dodo dealer!!
And so Tuor beheld a vision of Gondolin, once so beautiful and fair, now broken and covered in red hot flames and thick black smoke.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
They told me not to build all of Gondolin, so I had to scale down and just do the King's Square, with the images of the two trees upon King Turgon's Tower, which fell and caused his own death.
Ecthelion also, of the Fountain, faces Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, with the spike upon his helmet. From the battle, Tuor the messenger of Ulmo, with his young child Eärendil, the hope of Elves and Men, just barely escapes. But that is for another time.
I’ve wanted to do a minifigure battle for so long. I felt like finally I had enough figs! I figured out I was wrong, but still, I did put a lot of figures into this… and that consumed more time than you would expect! And finally, this is the second full castle that I've ever made. Yes, it's the first full minifigure scale castle or keep that I've ever made! It was an immense endeavour, especially for just a couple weeks.
This is my entry to the Finale of MELO, which I am honoured to be able to compete in! I attempted to recreate each scene from a different book throughout the competition, thus this one is meant to be derived from the recent book, The Fall of Gondolin. I tried my best to make this version of the Palace of Gondolin resemble fair Tirion Upon Tuna, from the Undying Lands, as well as to capture the horrible moment of it's fearful betrayal and fall, while the last of the Greatest Noldor fought bravely and desperately to the last. I hope you like it! To God be all the Glory!
Yeah, so it happened. I used wheels as engines. Even more, technically biggest Lego wheels ever, not counting tyres of course.
So I built an M113. On the surface it might seem like a pretty simple build, but its not really. The front slope was a massive headache to get right. Credit to Ekjohnson for the idea, I was fiddling around with just the one half size plate forever until I saw your awesome model and thought to add the plate, if that makes any sense, haha.
I added some numbers on the side because that seemed like the cool thing to do, I guess. All in all a relatively quick build so I might post a rebuild in the next couple days once I get the time to really refine it. Until then, enjoy! And thanks for checking it out.
PS, check out my YouTube page. Just search 'Carpet Lego' on YouTube.
I did the Lego thing...because it's January...
Please ignore the ludicrously stubby arms.
I have a few things from my backlog to post as well as some more drone-y goodness coming soon, so keep an eye out!
Enjoy!

Been wanting to come up with a universal fuel cell for ships for some time. It was always a fun thing as kid when to try to always incorporate the basic one at that time (2x2 round with plate on bottom and tile on top. This feels like a modern variation on that old friend. I need some 1x1 rounds in transclear for 'empty' ones. I do like the T bar on this that will act as a plug in for energy transfer conduits or the like. They are also stackable and lock in top to bottom nicely.
There are a load of these out there, but I thought I'd start to work on one too. The TMNT vehicle is there for scale reference.
Inspired by the District 9 movie and the other awesome renditions of this vehicle from these great builders: Guy Smiley flic.kr/p/Bkpeo8, Project Azazel flic.kr/p/gnBH6e, _Tiler flic.kr/p/AUFtk8.
This still has a bit of work to be done on it but the bones are there. It seats 4 minifigs inside and the doors are functional. I need some white mudguards (among other pieces) to get this in better shape but thought I'd share it as it stands for the moment :)
