Once Upon a Snow Mine — While out marking territory a saber-toothed tiger happened upon the scent of bunnies and began tracking them for a much needed meal. Unfortunately (though not for the bunnies), at the same time, some Snow Guardians were on their way to collect gold from their mine, and the tiger decided three humans were a much better meal than the three bunnies.

I added this saber-toothed tiger to my collection a few months back and had been wanting to make a small moc with him since then, and when the new Snow Guardian minifig in series 22 was revealed I knew exactly what scene I wanted to build. It was fun working in primarily one color (though very hard on my white slope stock lol). The Pick-a-Brick wall at my local LEGO Store also helped a bunch. I think my favorite part of the build turned out to be the smooth fresh snow on the path leading to the mine, disturbed only by the guardians on one side and bunny tracks on the other.

My mom had one of those Big Banana skateboards as a kid, so I dug her skateboard out of the garage and made a LEGO version of it!
Metallic green Dutch G mold, Marbon Amsterdam, Borg Warner.
These G bricks were made in the Netherlands, so very rare Dutch made LEGO bricks.
Made by Marbon in Amsterdam to test plastic.
Mold numbers go from 1 to 4.
With pip on the short side and Pat. pend.
Often found together with Dutch 2xabcd bricks with F1234 on the inside.
There are also intermediate forms with LEGO on top and F1234 on the underside, though those are even more rare than the G bricks....
On display at the 'Speel! De Kunst van het Spel' (Play! The art of the game exhibition) at the Cobra Museum of Modern Art, 2006
Each box contains a set of bricks, that can be used to build the element of a concentration camp as shown on the box. All elements in the sets as well as those depicted on the boxes have either been taken from the mass-produced sets of LEGO bricks, or have been slightly altered by the artist. The prisoners are played by smiling skeletons from the "Pirate" set, while slightly modified figurines from the "Police Station" set appear as tormentors. We also encounter the captain of the camp and the psychopathic doctor, conducting experiments on prisoners. Libera says: "Initially, I was considering building a Soviet gulag, but that didn't work - it failed to refer to the images I've had in my head and did not communicate my ideas. My intention was to reflect on rationalism and education."

The Crystal Explorer Sub from 1995’s Aquanauts enters the LEGO city!
Another great AquaZone submarine, this time a large yellow sub. The vibrant color scheme pops with yellow on black and blue, highlighted with neon orange space elements and those awesome blue windshields!
I didn’t have this sub as a kid, but this sub takes my favorite aspects of the Deep Sea Predator (#6155) and upscales the playable space. While some of the interior is narrow towards the stern, the amount of storage space is significant.
Prints are great with this set and it includes several chromed elements, which are always welcome.
I’m a huge fan of the helm’s design and ability to stand the minifig captain up properly. Overall, stoked to have this ship in the collection.
What are your thoughts on this ship? Did you have it as a kid?
As always, I really enjoyed getting shots of this and experimenting with LEGO and flight stands. More retro 90’s set to be featured soon

"There must be hundreds of them!"
I decided to revamp a Sentry as a counterpart to my 'Mk. 2' Uplink. This upgraded version is bigger and tougher than the original, with swappable weapons modules to mount between the shoulders. I couldn't find a neat way to include control sticks at the front, so I'm just imagining that the Iron Drone piloting the machine is connected and can control it wirelessly.
Bring back Exo-Force!
Part of my 2x4 brick collection.
This part became to big for my normal frames, so I had to find a new way to store and display these.
These must be in my top 3 of nicest bricks, if only because I grew up with these new logo bricks.
Since it is nearly impossible to tell a normal red 3001old from a red Bayer, I have only confirmed Bayers in here.
One day, I hope to find "normal" colors.
These are drawers with 48x48 baseplates cut to size.

Update:
Some of these turned out to be BASF or are now in other sub-catagories.
More turned out to be Grangemouths Borg Warner and Dutch G bricks.
Far more deadly than its namesake, the Manta is a fast, powerful and highly-maneuverable fighter craft that forms the backbone of the Blacktron fleet. This ship is built around a tough, solid core that provides optimum pilot protection, and power comes from the same units found in the Fantail escape craft; however, they are tuned slightly differently to provide better efficiency and comfort for regular flight, rather than the urgency of fleeing a battle ASAP.
Offensive capabilites are provided by a battery of laser cannon: two fixed guns in front of the cockpit, and two rotating guns mounted at the wings. These rotating units can be programmed to lock on to targets, which is especially useful in intense battle situations.
You don't want to get caught by this ray's sting!
An ancient and mysterious temple lies in the heart of the jungle, long since abandoned but strangely inviting...

A close-up of the bricks, glued upon a cardboard background.
The warping of the bricks can be seen in the white brick, this means these bricks are made of a plastic known as CA (Cellulose Acetat).
Modern bricks are made of a newer plastic called ABS (Acrylonitril Butadien Styrene) and do not warp.
The five colors are shown, white, transparent, yellow, red and blue.
No black yet at this time.
There are 2 bricks cut open and one cut in half, this shows the inside.
Also the four transparent bricks with orange tube lets us have a good look at the inner workings of this new brick.
This brick was used in other places too: www.flickr.com/photos/maxx361/4976859687/in/set-721576274...
The tube is what set LEGO apart from all other brick and finally got the Kiddicraft ghost of it's back.
You know summer has arrived on the island of Mata Nui when you hear the humming of this magnificent little Rahi. The Le-Wahi Bumbler is native to the Le-Wahi jungles, but has successfully spread around the rest of the island and can also be found on some of the smaller islets around the coast.
It is an important pollinator and part of the cycle of life on Mata Nui. Its large size and bright colours are a deterrent for most predators, but these critters are actually fairly docile, and can even make great companion Rahi with enough patience.

Here's a little build I've been playing with for a few weeks. It took a few passes, but I'm pleased with the end result. I need to try and work on blending System and constraction elements more.
Might not post anything for a while (not that I do very often anyway lol) after this. I didn't make it past the preliminary round for the Bio-Cup, which has got me pretty bummed out. I know there's the redemption rounds, but I don't know if I feel up to it. We'll see.
LEGO Aquazone Hydronauts Sottomarino Idraulico da Ricerca - Set 6180

Take a stroll in Bonnie Bunny's Walker! This simple little mech is ideal for running around the local park before stopping off for a picnic with your friends.
For now these are the only known colors for these wheel holders without holes.
There might be a transparent one, because those exist as regular wheel holders.
Red must be a test version as they never existed in sets.
White: M 15
Red: 08 9

The LEGO Aquazone Deep Sea Predator hasn’t surfaced since 1995. What’s new with LEGO?
This may be my ultimate nostalgic LEGO set. It’s not all that big, but the vibrant translucent orange, the chromed elements, and the prints are the coolest!
This set was fighting in space just as much as it was the underwater threats in my younger self’s imagined narrative.
Loved this set as a kid, I parted ways with it around 2002, and now I’m very happy to have it in my adult collection.
This was my first time getting an order from BrickLink: the process, price, seller’s turnaround, and condition of the pieces were all outstanding!
I suspect I’ll be getting more shots with this set posted in the future

Hedwig! She is about a foot tall and I made a Snitch, a potions book, and Hogwarts A History. I am planning to rebuild her to life size, which would be about 2-2.5 feet tall, with the hopes of having her ready for BrickCon 2013.
Nice medium sized set.

After impulsively buying the random mini figure box, the little detective inspired me to dig out my bricks and make him a car.
1993’s Blizzard Baron enters the LEGO City from Ive Planet 2002!
An OG Hoth snowspeeder, who doesn’t love that?
This set has a couple classic Ice Planet prints, cool minifig with accessories, and a decent amount of neon transparent orange elements for a little ship!
Not only is it a capable little snowspeeder, but it has a detachable communications base/portable science lab. Simple, but a good use of a few parts to bring more story elements to a small build.
I’m happy to have this guy added to my Ice Planet 2002 fleet. Did you have this set? Does it hold up as interesting to a modern audience? Anyone know why it’s also called the Ice Planet Vx122?
I’ll be looking at more retro LEGO soon, including more Space!

"Uplink and I are a team. Between us there's nothing we can't do."
I've been meaning to revamp this old set for a while, so here it is! Bigger and sturdier than the original version, I wanted to keep the "cockpit" open while offering a bit more protection to the pilot, so I went with the cage over the top. I also made it "modular" so there are different attachment options to choose from depending on the mission.
Bring back Exo-Force!

An alternate build of set #31130 Sunken Treasure Mission. When I saw all those lovely Mixel joints I knew I had to build this! I could've tried to be a bit more creative with the sub/shell, but I thought it was already a pretty good shape for a hermit crab shell, so why change it?
Scientific name: Pylochelidae Gigantus

Little remake for OG LEGO 6007 set.

This time of year always gets me in the mood to rewatch the HP series.
Here is my latest build, testing out the New Studio! Hoping for slightly higher production values going forward, (still need to steam the blue screen).
I really like how this looks.
I don’t go out of my way too often for HP sets, I don’t have room for a giant ever-growing castle, but I really like some of their individual “home spaces”. The most recent Burrow (#75980) was excellent, and this townhouse is looking like my favorite HP dwelling for 2022.
The gimmick is great, works well, and allows for figures to be displayed in most of the area without interfering with the transformation.
Figure selection is large and great. All are printed well with detail, save Mrs. Weasley. Her orange pajamas jumpsuit looks off to me?
All come with accessories (even two distinct hair pieces for Tonks), and there are more than enough cups/goblets to go around.
The build was fairly straightforward “building building”, broken up nicely into little sections. Some details were heavily reliable on stickers, but it’s an 8+ set, these things are expected.
I think this could easily be converted to a modular (minus the transformation) that would look really good in any LEGO City.
(Last photo for scale, afterthought, with bad lighting)
Very grateful to my lovely fiancé for this birthday gifted set!

Arguably the most innovative thing in LEGO ever.
See also my original trans-clear 2x4 bricks WITH orange tube.
"LEGO's tube system works as a row of coloms bringing strenght to well build models."
The Italian leaflet from early 1962 (the late one is B-111-it.).
While this early one has "Pat. No. 591.313" mentioned, the later one has "Pat. pend." again, like the 1961 issues.
For the 1958-1964 range of yellow (or blue, for 1964 ones) 24x16cm single page pricelists, this is my #114 out of 134 currently known versions.
So there are still 20 to go! :-)
Optimus Prime enters the LEGO City
(Never thought I’d get to write that!)
This build is very solid, hefty, and impressive in scale and detail. The range of articulation is better than I imagined and the model is incredibly faithful to the G1 Optimus Prime toy from mid-80s and cartoon. (You can watch the original episodes on HasbroPulse’s YT channel- I did while putting this together)
My only problem with this kit is that the leg stickers are upside-down when compared to the OG cartoon. That’s not a knock on the actual design and build, I assume a marketing error.
Simple fix: flip the 2x6 tiles around.
Took some busy shots with other large red mechs for scale. LEGO continues to improve on its mechs’ quality.
If you’ve seen what I post, I focus on LEGO and Hasbro Marvel products. The Transformers line now checks the box for LEGO, Hasbro, and Marvel! Too cool; when do you think the planet Cybertron will enter the MCU? Will Death’s Head show up in a future GotG?

For 4/13, the 5th anniversary of the comic Homestuck, I made a Nakodile, complete with a pair of Dave's iShades!
If you're thinking "ok that makes no sense" go read the comic. It is really fantastic!
Creation is at the heart of what we do, without it, we might as well be dead. For there would be nothing new, change would be a foreign concept. We would whither, die, rot, and fade into antiquity. Creation is the triumph of order over chaos, sanity over madness, light over darkness, and life over death.
~Gahmaneshu
Initially created for the #Pantheonofelements collab, I took the element of Creation. Gahmaneshu is inspired by Hindu gods, his name is an amalgamation of Brahma, Ganesh, and Vishnu, all major deities in the Hindu pantheon.
