This build is a large castle/landscape display featuring The Knights of the Black Falcon and The Forest Guard.
First and foremost the aim of this build was to showcase what I love about those classic mid-80s Castle sets and specifically my two favourite factions. I have drawn inspiration from the original sets featuring each faction, specifically what I loved about them as a child and aimed to contrast that with what appeals to me as an adult builder.
The build features two fortresses side by side, Falkenholt Castle, the fortress of the Knights of the Black Falcon and an underground network of caves and tunnels that comprise the fortress of the Forest Guard.
Some of the elements that I am most happy with in this build are the level of detail and texture, the cross-section style cutaway on the edges of the build showing the internal structure of the castle as well as the geological layers of rock, clay and soil.
I have finally been able to resume construction on my LEGO model of Detroit's Guardian Building.
I am about 70% done with the two seven story sections that make up the base of the 40 story Guardian. The middle sections which will start at about were the tallest visible portion is will be a little more straightforward in technique. The colorful band should be a series of interlocking hexagons but even with the small cheese slope sized pieces it did not work out in this scale. In some ways I would be nice to build this in a larger scale as I have had to leave out considerable detail to make everything fit. I still am waiting for an inspiration as to the best method of modeling the Pewabic tile half dome inside the main Griswold entrance.

Throwback to a moc that I created two years ago. New renderings and some minor changes from the original moc. Väven is a cultural center in Umeå, Sweden located next to Ume River. Väven was built in 2011-2014 and next to Väven is the hotel Stora Hotellet. Architects are Norwegian Snøhetta and White arkitekter. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.
One of the world’s most famous landmarks spans 244 meters across the River Thames in London, constructed between 1886 and 1894 by some of the Empire‘s most renowned engineers. Its iconic 65-meter-tall towers surpass the height of its namesake, the nearby Tower of London. The shape is not because of pure aesthetic reasons but was a technical necessity to accommodate the machinery needed to operate the moveable spans, so that larger vessels could still reach harbor facilities upstream. Though it was not the first crossing between Tower Hamlets to the north and Southwark to the south, it quickly became the more popular route, leading to the demise of the Tower Subway (one of the world’s first underground railways, which went out of service in 1898).
The model consists of 1,289 pieces, is built in scale 1:650. It features moveable spans and represents the current blue and white color scheme (which it also was originally painted in).
After four years of LEGO construction, my model of the Penobscot Block is complete. It includes models of the Savoyard Center, 1900 (1 foot high), original Penobscot Building, 1905 (3 feet high), Ford Building, 1909 (4 feet high), Penobscot Annex, 1913 (5.5 feet high), and the Penobscot Building, 1928 (9.5 feet to roof, 11 feet to top of spire). The entire block probably weighs on the order of 400 pounds.
The Penobscot Block is being displayed at the Midland Center for the Arts as part of the Art of the Brick exhibit featuring the LEGO art of Nathan Sawaya (June 12 to September 2, 2010). Eighteen of J Spencer Rezkalla's microscale skyscrapers comprising his Skyline exhibit are also on display. The Michigan LEGO train club will have a train and town layout with operating LEGO trains.
In a crowded urbanized world we have to find new ways to stay close to nature. A roof garden provides the household with food and beauty...
This house has a number of cuboid bodies linked together by a dark blue tiled hallway hosting a spiral staircase. Large glass windows offer a view of the ground floor and roof garden. Solar panels and home grown vegetables contribute to a sustainable way of living.
The Orange Town House is based loosely on one of the buildings depicted in the Brickbuilderspro commercial aftermarket instructions -
"Town Street," (www.brickbuilderspro.com/shop-instructions/?sort=featured...).
The Haunted Town House is based on a reworking of the Lego Haunted House set, with some "assistance" from Kristel's free instructions from Rebrickable, and other inspirations from BCD Mansard as well as other examples available on other Lego fan sites on the internet.

Main entrance on first floor of Calmwater Cliff House MOC. Staircase leading down to the kitchen.
Calmwater Cliff House is located on a cliff by the beach. Two floors with a terrace on each floor. Downstairs you find a spacious kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and home office. Upstairs you find a music corner with sea view, a bedroom and the main entrance.
As you see it´s a LEGO house and I´ve mainly used the colours black, dark tan, tan and reddish brown.
I wanted to make a modern home - in some way inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the colours of the 20th century - updated to 21st century lifestyle.
Right of the highway on Central Ave (Bley District). At 21 stories, this is the tallest building outside of downtown.
Here's my entry for the skyline category of the Marchitecture contest 2025. A new take on LEGO architecture, with additional background like on postcards sets. This is the Singapore skyline, for which I tried to used different scale and techniques compared to the latest Singapore architecture official set.
Some buildings and landmarks are not in scale with each other, but I tried to include all the most iconic elements, with a couple of filler skyscrapers to fill the downtown area on the right.

Here's another Disney castle, Cinderella's one! This is Lego set #40478 with one major change: the back! As jm_rkuhtect rightly pointed out on the Rebrickable website, the original set wasn't accurate on the back. Following his instructions, the castle gets significantly bigger!
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.

This is the 21002 set of Lego Architecture series, but I preferred that one designed for New York Skyline set (21028), too. So I mixed both sets to create this my personal MOC for my collection of architectural landmarks! :)
On July 1st, I installed my recently completed commission piece depicting the Hawthorn Mall redevelopment! You can see the full diorama for yourself on the second-level in the Transformation Suite at the mall in Vernon Hills, IL.
