1909 pioneer aircraft by Louis Blériot. Used for the first crossing of the English Channel by airplane. First modern monoplane with stick control. Three-cylinder engine designed by Anzani, originally for motorbikes. Lego model incorporates all important features, including stick control for elevator and wing-warping, pedal control for rudder, moving semi-radial engine, and fully suspended landing gear. Wingspan 78cm, 1085 Lego parts.
Mid 1920ies single-cylinder hot bulb tractor. This is the solid rubber tire model used as road traction engine. The motor developes 12hp from one cylinder with 6.5l cubic capacity. The engine can be reversed, and will start in either direction. Preferred fuel is Diesel, but waste oil will do (please, don't try this at home). There's no gearbox, just a differential.
The sound of the piston moving in the big Lego cylinder is pretty close to the sound of the original Lanz!
I revisited the model because, finally, the dish 8x8 (3961) came out in red, which gives pretty exact front wheels.
Built for the preliminary round of Bio-Cup 2022
Theme: Nature
I won't deny that I was stuck, looking for a concept, for as long as a full week. I really wanted to avoid making a whole moc designed around plants, trees or flowers, and didn't want to make a simple animal either.
The concept behind this build is quite straight-forward: what if Mother Nature was some kind of lovecraftian, outer space entity, instead of her typical motherly/human-like depiction?
The first things I designed were the torso and belly. I really wanted to keep the key mother nature symbolism (all the recalls to fertility and being a mother and whatnot) while adding an outerworldly feel to all of it. I also wanted her head to have a single eye that resembled a bright star.
The addition of tentacles at the vertical edges of the moc was a simple way to strengthen the cosmic horror feel of the build. The blue zamor represents, of course, a planet fit to inhabit life.
Huge thanks to @Dv_mocs and @Carecreations_ for helping me out both in defining the early concept and in the final edits!
After six months of building I finalized my first large scale US truck. As the K100 is one of my favorite trucks I wanted to have such in my collection. I disassembled my old Scania 141 tow trucks and used the bodywork and Holmes 750 for the KW. Fitted with an underlift it make the truck even more versatile. Quite some parts of the model are chrome which my mate Bricksonwheels supplied me. I had to use a lot of unconventional building techniques to get the cab into the right shape. Turning pieces upside down, building things off set etc. and without glueing anything. I already typed the full story for this model on my website.

Lego model of the tracked vehicle that marked the transition from three-wheeled design (as inherited by the C. L. Best traction engines) to the classic "Caterpillar" design of the Holt Co. By 1925, the companies were merged to form Caterpillar Co.
The model features remote control drive and steering by tiller wheel, using a BuWizz receiver.
A young knight who was trained the elemental arts. Twig has spent her entire life preparing to defend the Wind Monastery, deep within the forests of old. She can call upon the wind itself to aid her in battle. They are good friends.
Her ears are very soft, but please don't poke them.

This was an experimental Lego building technique that I've been dying to try. Basically, some sets use uniquely cut sheets for wings, sails, and clothes. I wanted to take this concept to it's logical extreme to see what happens.
I took heavily inspiration from the Forma sets, but I wanted to shake things up and make a fully posable figure. I'm very happy with the result! And the best part is that technically all the connections are legal because they all appear in official sets! I'm a purist, so that's important to me.

Ted looks a tad perplexed about his idea of introducing his jammin' crab friends to his new LDD robo-crab, Percy!
Hope that gift of a fish is a good indication of a crab welcome?
But wait a minute... Do robo-crabs even eat fish???
The photo in the upper right was of an early primitive build in chromatic & thematic eclectic juxtaposition that was posted on the old MOCpages. It wasn't a good photo, so I kept it small here. But... I do so love these little Bionicle crabs!
You can see more of Ted's crab pals in 3 of my LEGO Videos here on Flickr...

Smaller steam cylinder and steam chest, added mechanical lubricator. Model is pretty exactly 3/4 inch scale. See my video, too!
I built a LEGO technic version of these well known desk toys. Please check the functionality in the video. You can also watch it on YouTube
Looking back on the original version of this guy I honestly don't know what I was thinking. But I am so f*ckin' happy with this new version! I hope ya'll like him too.

So it turns out the plow from the Unimog fits perfectly with the John Deere Axron.

The 1924 Targa Florio winner car was a 2 liter, 4 cylinder, super-charged Mercedes, with Chistian Werner at the wheel. This car is an early example of the famous Merceds Compressor series, culminating in the famous SSK and SSKL.
Unlike the usual white livery of the Mercedes racers, this car was actually painted red: Rumour has it this was a camouflage strategy to stop Italian fanatics from throwing rocks at the passing car, because it might be taken for Italian.
In the 1920ies, the race cars were actually driven to the race track on public roads like normal automobiles. For this trip, mudguards and license plates had to be mounted, to comply with traffic regulations. My model is shown in both configurations: as a slick racer, and as a roadworthy automobile.
Lego model with four-cylinder engine, two speed gearbox, differential, leaf spring suspension, steering, and operational hand crank.
She is my first 1:8 scale car and it took me probably 12 hrs to assemble it, but quite enjoyed it :)
Already modified it. The headlights were quite lacking so I changed them. Also I've made some improvements to the doors too.
Also I've made a quick photoshoot with her little sister :D (a Speed Champions moc of mine.)
If you are interested in the modifications here is a free tutorial for them:
