Hi guys!
Fortunately, my motivation for creating new builds hasn’t faded away yet, so today I am back with another MOC, which was created during last 4 weeks. It is so special for me because it resembles my way that I am now following, in my science, sport and passion career. Also it was good for me to show how I am feeling inside right now by capturing my thoughts with plastic bricks.
That is why I show you a little diorama, which consists of the master practicing even though he accomplished more than anyone in the particular field.
My LEGO model of Detroit's Penobscot Building. The smaller structure to the right is an official LEGO company set called the Corner Cafe which is available at Lego.com. The Corner Cafe set has inspired a number of builders to create similar companion structures in order to form a complete city street scene. Here is my attempt but I think that the Penobscot isn't quite the right building to go with the Corner Cafe;)
This LEGO skyscraper is my tallest model as of 2008.
Overall height: 11 feet (3.35 meters)
Roof height: 9.5 feet (2.9 meters)
Weight: ~180 pounds (~89 kilograms)
The model breaks down into 12 sections for transport.
Finally a new upload on here! I know I've said this on most of my past uploads, but I'm really hoping I can actually stay relatively active on here again. We'll see though, I'll do my best, but I'm quite busy. Anyway, enough of that, on to the build. This is a really old one, like two and a half years old, but I still like it, and it at least shows you guys that I'm not dead. It's actually the second version, the first version was done for a contest on MOCpages and I liked some of what I had originally done so I revisited it soon after the contest. Detail pictures of this one can be found here, with detail pictures of the original version available here.
Me and a few other ARC troopers of the 253rd have been ordered to take a little detour back to Kamino before our next mission. Command has ordered us to pass on our knowledge and train the next batch of ARC troopers, that will one day fight beside, if not replace us. I am happy to assist in training. I remember how I was in such a ARC promotion program and thus know what these recruits might be capable of one day. I’ll try my best to teach them well.

Blue Striped House is a U-shaped house inspired by contemporary Scandinavian architecture. Blue, tan and grey stripes. Small windows form irregular patterns and let the sun light create life in the living room, guest bedroom and dining area. All rooms have clean and modern furnishings. The house has three entrances through the living room, kitchen and laundry room. A windling staircase lead to the master bedroom upstairs.
Outside you may notice signs of late summer or early autumn. Brown, green, orange and red colours.
Its chainsaw legs get rid of bushes, trees and other... ...obstacles.

A new mech build inspired by one of my favorite games Horizon: Zero Dawn and the amazing mechs of Nick. I hope you like the build and editing as much as I do.
“As she approached the temple, the brave knight felt an unearthly cold crawl down her spine, spreading across her chain mail like a disease
Before her was a monument of evil, a chapel seemingly older than time itself. So much so, that it appeared as though the rock and stone had grown around the hellish shrine
She looked to the heavens for guidance, a prayer for strength and hope. But her words fell on deaf ears, for not even God himself dared enter these caves…”
My entry to the Subterranean category of the Summer Joust 2022
A few of you may remember that I made an A-wing over a year ago. And I won't say it was bad, just that my building technique has changed quite a bit from that point (Here is a link, if you want to compare).

Now, with a new style, and understanding of both GIMP and Blender, here is a WIP version.
I am still working on my rendering accuracy, trying to achieve that realistic look.
Also thanks to Marius for explaining his after-burner technique, quite simple yet really good. You can see his awesome ships here:

Thanks for Looking!
Hello! This is the group shot from my collaboration build with the talented builders dan.ko56 and Vladunov/Dostin. We decided to assemble a race team with two race vehicles and a mobile service ship. Check out their respective posts for more info about their awesome ships :)
The race team is named Magna-Vortex Dynamics. My build is the racing spaceship to the left: The Nebula. Vladimir's build is the middle one: Vision Mark III, a mobile service ship. Dan's build is (ofc) the speeder to the right: Note X.
I will post the single entry post with my spaceship anytime soon. Hope you like the ships!
Thanks again Dan and Vlad for letting me participate in this collab!
Note: Photo editing done by Dan Ko.
Built for the 8th and final round of the 2023 Rogue Olympics.
My wife suggested using the Sailor Moon anime series as a source of inspiration, and we settled on Sailor Pluto's iconic weapon.
Consists of 62 pieces.

THE LICH'S LAIR.
Here we have my third entry into the #halloweenhabitats25 and #letsbuildhalloween2 challenges over on Instagram! Again, continuing the theme of undead D&D enemies, we have a lich in his lair. I tried multiple tile patterns before eventually settling on this one, attempting to convey the grandiose taste of a creature that pursues eternal life/undeath. If there's one thing liches have, it's a flair for the dramatic, right? Collected in the lich's lair, we see a bit of everything, including some of his favorite trinkets, one of his favorite spells, a lovely still-life from one of his favorite artists, his grimoire with his nastiest and most profane magic, and of course, the captured souls of many adventurers which he'll use to one day feed his phylactery! Clearly, he's brought some more with thim, however--I wonder where he'll find the space to store them? As always, for lore: read on!
In the world of D&D, liches are powerful spellcasters who have taken on the mission to learn and conduct dark, unholy rituals that tether their soul permanently to their body, even after death. While their spirits inhabit their bodies, the flesh and its innards continue to rot away, leaving the lich with a rather macabre visage. They often dress themselves in fineries, which convey the quality of enlightenment they tend to claim they've achieved in their abominable state of being. Liches undergo the process of trapping their souls within a vessel known as a phylactery, which they often keep heavily guarded, or even hidden and inconspicuous, to avoid being destroyed by self-righteous heroes. To destroy a lich's phylactery is to destroy its safety net of regenerating after its physical form is slain. Thus, it is left vulnerable, and capable of being extinguished. A lich will fight with all its might to avoid having its broader ambitions cut short by a setback such as being slain again, and will employ devastating magic and traps to deter intruders that would infiltrate its lair.
Koi’s idea with the ray shield did prove to be more effective than any amount of ammunition could have been. With the civilians safely tucked in within the GAR complex, sweeping the droids off the streets was an easy feat. A few EMP grenades and blaster bolts were enough to clear our quadrant and we were called in to regroup with our regiment. Apparently the Seps had managed to place some droid dispensers inside critical GAR facilities, namely a foundry and assembly complex. It was time for more housekeeping.
The LAAT brought us to the entrance of the facility, which was basically a big metal cube with a labyrinth inside. „Just like the Killing House on Kamino.“ I muttered to myself. Koi glanced at me, but said nothing. The other squads advanced into the labyrinth and we followed, blasters raised and ready. You never knew what was waiting behind the next corner. Every few minutes explosions shattered the ground and blaster shots could be heard, all framed by the rhythmic humming of working machines. „100 meters to the first dispenser.“ We entered a large hall. „Awfully hot in here.“, Koi groaned. We could see huge barrels filled with molten steel move along the middle of the hall. „Careful now, you don’t want to end up as Venator alloy.“, I said, as we tip toed our war along the narrow catwalk towards what seemed to be the first droid dispenser. „Contact, 20 meters…“. I raised my DC. „..friendly.“ Koi ended the sentence. A pice of white armor was visible among the different containers. We approached. „Don’t come closer!“ The trooper was still alive, though his leg was spread out in an awkward angle and he was clenching a bit of railing to hold himself up. „It’s alright, Brother, we’re here…“ „Minefield!“ He exclaimed as I set my foot on the ladder to climb down to him. I stopped and switched my visor to infrared. There were in fact dozens of mines placed all over the floor around the droid dispenser and dangerously close to the barrels filled with molten steel. The injured Trooper had squeezed himself right into the little gap between a mine and the wall. „Don’t bother with me. Get out of here. I broke my leg and can’t stand up properly. I’ll trigger a mine, if I do. At least I can take that dispenser with me then.“ „No time for useless heroics! Koi, take care of that dispenser. I’ll call in the medics.“ „I guess no fireworks again?“ „You got it.“ „Shame.“ Koi jumped onto the dispenser. I minimized my energy shield and reached out to the trooper. He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up carefully, as to not trigger any mines nearby. „Medics are on their way. What’s your name?“ „Mag’ro.“ „What happened to your squad?“ „Lost them to a crab droid in quadrant H. That beast chased me all the way to here until I fell from the catwalk and broke my leg. It couldn’t follow me into the minefield, though.“ „You outran a crab droid? Impressive.“ „Not going to do that any time again soon, am I?“ „Your leg’s going to be fine. Koi, status on the dispenser?“ „Fried and steaming.“ The dispenser was indeed sizzling and smoking as Koi was jabbing his energy pike into it repeatedly. „This is really turning into housework.“ „Let’s hope there’s something good for dinner, when we get back.“

A quick build for mission 17.3 of the 253rd Elite Legion. I probably should have tried at a bigger scale, to get more out of the foundry setting. However, I think the action comes across. Also, do I spot a future squad member there?
Interior Taven build, where all of my fantasy adventurers can come in and have a good time.
Stained glass window design is a slightly modified version of LionBricks' stained glass design.
My first entry for the POTC contest on the new German LUG RogueBricks (www.RogueBricks.de).
Task is to build something based on the POTC movies.
This one shows the first Jack Sparrow scene from the second movie.
Maybe more to come :)
I'm back with my newest moc, the Red London Telephone Box.
The model contains 1856 pieces and features lots of interesting details. The door can be opened to reveal an authentic detailed interior, complete with an old fashioned telephone.
As well as the phone box I've also included a British pillar box and a street lamp complete with hanging flower baskets.
I think the iconic London Telephone Box would be a great subject for a LEGO IDEAS set so I've uploaded it to the LEGO IDEAS website. If you like the model I'd be really grateful if you could head over and give the model your support. 10,000 votes and it could become a real set.
Thanks very much.
I’m just a candle happily melting, melting, melting.... (try to sing that sounds better😉)
Built for MOC Wars 2020
Category: 13.I’m melting
Built in a day. After the apple I didn’t have too much problem with making this look kinda organic. Saw many people in the contest melt everything and anything even stuff that is not intended to melt. So I wanted to do something that is more likely to melt. Not the happiest with the flame.
The Battle of Mimban saw Imperial forces clashing with the Mimbanese Liberation Army in swampy terrain, leading to heavy casualties. Far from the front lines, Imperial outposts were frequently attacked by Mimbanese forces and confronted by local creatures, including giant worms (personal addition)
It hides in the darkness.
Who will kill the heartless?
Do not go down the path.
Or face the monster's Wrath. <./i>

Built for Summer Joust's 'Atmospheric' category.
This is actually completely 100% physical effects, no photo shop - it was done using a very very wet Halloween witch 'potion' maker. /w Brickstuff lights and a "please don't get too wet" iPad.
So I'm kind of stuck as far as the battlements and wooden sections.
And suggestions would be much appreciated!
A little cinematic shot from my latest vignette.
Guess what, I am still alive and while I'm busy, I still wanted to post this, even if it has been a while since the vignette was posted.
In the late 21st century, manned space flight had developed to a point, where orbital space stations had become obsolete. Engines were so small, yet so powerful, that leaving the orbit of any planet was a left hand task. Seizing this opportunity, the space agencies of the world, once divided by nations, but now united as the World Space Agency, built the first large scale research ship, the International Research Frigate (IRF) Minerva, replacing the ISS. Named after the Greek goddess of knowledge, the frigate was home to countless laboratories, spanning all branches of science, including biology, physics, chemistry, psychology and even cultural studies. The main goals were to understand how space travel and living on a space ship would impact body, mind and even culture as well as to research, whether orbiting other planets was different than orbiting earth. In its years of service, the Minerva hopped from planet to planet, each time gaining new data and crew members, who had grown up in the colonies and brought new cultural experiences. Over time, the crew had developed a thriving own culture, which some children, born on board, even grew up in. After being taken out of service, the remaining crew refused to leave the ship and continued roaming the galaxy with it, eventually being granted the status of an independent city state. All in all, the cultural studies experiment had come to the most interesting conclusion, that space travel could bring people closer together and could become an own cultural space.
_________________________________
I did it! I actually managed to finish a ship in 30 days again! This time, I worked without any preconceived concept and just built off the top of my head. The result is the 132 studs long SHIP Minerva. Without including any play features this time, I focused on having a sleek and smooth ship with an interesting shape and color scheme, including lots of orange, my favorite color. Also, I finally included a ring structure, a plan I had for a ship since 2015. I hope you like it as much as I do!
This creation was built in 15 hours before Bricking Bavaria this year. It was inspired by an unknown South Korean artist whose work I’ve seen in a lobby of a hotel in Seoul. I like the idea of “distorting reality”, so I was curious to explore it in LEGO form. It was trickier than I thought to build as some bricks weren’t aligning as easily, initially I wanted to make the distorted effects slightly longer, however I ran out of bricks and time. There is definitely room for improvement and I would like to hear your feedback on what exactly. Let me know what you think, thanks!
Priscilla answered for the pair, "Priscilla Bramblewhisk of the Squirrelling Rangers, and, uh, Yarrow... of the wanderers?" She didn't sound convinced in this answer herself. Priscilla drew up her quarterstaff ready to defend herself, while Yarrow slowly lifted his magnifying staff to see who was talking ahead of him.
A once respectable institute of botany (or herbology, to borrow from Harry Potter) has been overtaken by the very plants that were studied there. A few of the plants turned carnivorous and attacked the scientists.
A long time ago, a colossal creature was found on the ground, having fallen from the sky. Soon, he was imprisoned deep underground, and his blood was used for occult rituals.
But one day, the chains that bound him loosened...
This is my contribution to our award winning 2024 Roguebricks collaboration - RogueRonin, a huge display of Edo period Japan. on 4 32x32 modules i built a piece of shoreline and a bit of cliffwall and in the middle of it a Shibori dye house. On the beach there are two European traders in search of the traditionally dyed fabric
The Village Post Office is my first new MOC for over a year. A classic British Post Office set during the early 1930's. The model is not a modular building but features an open back design to give easy access to the interior details.
The model is now on LEGO IDEAS. f you like to vote for the model to be made in to a real set then please visit ideas.lego.com/projects/16ae1e95-cf30-41dd-ae23-36e07668df05

Here's my entry for the fourth prompt of RebelLUG's Vignweek 2021 contest, with the theme of modern era (being defined as anything after 1800). I wanted to stay away from what I thought would be more common topics like western or WWII (though apparently I thought wrong as more "city" type of builds are what's been most common), and so I ended up doing this 1950s diner inspired by this one. This was actually pretty fun to build, such a different type of architecture from what I normally build. Maybe eventually I'll come back to this idea and make a full build!
You can see some close-ups here.

I made this moving PacMan display that uses inter channel figures. The actual IDEA project page has gifs that show the moving of the figures in the build. The movement is done with a manual crank on the side of the stand which can be seen on other images in the project. The ghost figures on the stand are interchangeable with the figures you see on the side.

Rogue Olympics Round 7 - Time
Really cool theme this time...only problem was the parts limit...this time I had to get down from 138 parts to 101... The 136 parts design had sand in it, but I had to sacrifice that aspect.
I used 101 parts for this build.
I was quite unsatisfied with how some of the sections of the ship turned out on my original model, so here is the tweaked version. For example the parts that connect the engines into the fuselage were keeping me awake at night, and the engine nozzles themselves felt a bit off as well.
Other little changes include those reworked front blasters, and minor upgrades at the heat ventilation grilles. It also felt that the ship was a bit boring when laying flat, so I added that fancy stand (which comes equipped with a microfigure versions of the Rogue One cast).
This creation was inspired by the Star Wars Battlefront 2 game. I put a lot of effort into this build, especially the rockwork, ground details and the giant tree and I have to admit I'm pretty happy with the final result.
As you can see this diorama shows a battle between Imperial forces supported by the Inferno Squad and rebel troopers. For more detailed description and 'work in progress' pictures, please check out my Instagram page! (@betterbrickstudio)
Not much is known about Cathlyn’s life. The young woman was not recognized throughout the galaxy until she assassinated Gar Melic, one of the most fearsome crime lords of the galaxy.
From then on she was considered one of the galaxy’s most proficient assassins and bounty hunters, thus earning her the name of Cathlyn the Hunter. However, her motives for choosing a target remain unclear, since she does only charge minimal prices for some targets, while she often rejects clients who would pay her handsomely.
She tends to leave notes saying „Honor through vengeance“ with her targets. However, any DNA analysis of these notes failed. Cathlyn’s real identity remains unknown until today. Apart from these notes, her use of melee weapons, especially her proficiency with the sword, serve as her trademark.
Most recently she has been seen with members of the Nova League and is now considered one of their allies by some people.
After accepting a handsomely paid contract with the Terran Empire, she is now on a hunt for the Centuri General Jorik Kavas, who happens to be a top target on her personal list, too. After learning her biggest rival Zayne "Shadow" Cross is also pursuing the man, she throws away caution and taps into a conspiracy that might prove to be a bit too much, even for her.

In a year of big leaps on my LEGO journey it’s perfect it should end on another bang!
While at BrickFairVA 2024, I was invited by ConnLUG to join their organization and join one of their biggest display events of the year; the Festival of Trees & Traditions at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art!
I was delighted! For such an auspicious event, and as a new member of ConnLUG, I was honored by their placement in the museum to display my creations, and knew I had to make something worthy of the event! Thus! The Soaring Eagle piece was chosen, and as its perfect display partner - the Golden Bull was revived! It had fallen to pieces since its debut in 2023 but had been patiently waiting for my attention once again, and so was rebuilt during the end of November, finishing only hours before the installation deadline on December 1st.
The Bull and the Eagle will be further on display for a while longer in 2025, alongside famous works of art from the historical to the modern. If you’re able to see it in person, I highly recommend you do so, and get lost in all the amazing art along the way!
My thanks goes to Nick Campbell for finding me at BrickFairVA and helping my every step to this next layer of LEGO life!
Thank you to Cam Panczak and the everyone in ConnLUG for welcoming me to their team and community!
And a big thank you to the Wadsworth Atheneum for giving my creations such an amazing and artful place of honor to display at!
A model of the Grumman F14 Tomcat, an American air-superiority fighter from the 1970s. The plane was capable of supersonic flight, and featured a sweep-wing mechanism, which made the jet easy to fit onboard aircraft carriers in large numbers.
The Lego version is loosely based on the coloring that the plane had in the 1986 film Top Gun.
