Final build for the final round of Iron Forge. It has been a blast, people! I had lots of fun, but now i am done!
This is a robot in an apocalyptic aftermath, humans are gone, robots scavenge the waste lands, collecting all things colorful and manmade.
I've been heavily inspired by the works of Simon Stalenhag, check him out!
After the UFA cut off Eurasian access to airports and the port of Soyo, thereby removing their ability to get new troops or supplies, the next segment of Operation Cetshwayo was to retake the major cities under their control. With almost all of Zambia and the DRC under Eurasian control, over 100 million people were suffering, most of these concentrated in major cities such as Kinshasa, Bumba, Lubumbashi, and Lusaka. The UFA knew that winning the war in the people’s minds was almost as important as actually defeating the Eurasians in battle, and so liberating the people in these cities would be vital in obtaining their support. Scouts were sent in to gather intelligence on where the highest concentration of Eurasians were in these cities, and where they were residing, as no bases had been constructed in the cities. Once this was known, these areas were targeted, giving maximum loses to the Eurasians while keeping most civilians out of harm’s way.
With our successful capture of the port city of Soyo, we had then been sent into Central Africa, on our way to Kinshasa. Our new objective was to take out the Eurasians in this major city, freeing the people. Intelligence had reported that the main concentration of Eurasian soldiers in Kinshasa were residing at a place called Oasis Inn. It sounded like a pretty nice place, one I definitely wouldn’t have minded stay at in different times. Too bad after we were through it wouldn’t be so nice, with bullet holes and dead Eurasians everywhere… Guess I’ll have to wait to come back till after the war…

Another build from me! You'll see at least one more scene from me in the next few days for this contest. Like the last one, I'm quite happy with how this turned out. It took me a long time to get a photo I liked, mostly because of those palm trees which I loved what they added but they made it a lot harder to find a good angle. I'm really happy with how the buildings in the back turned out, especially the gray one, though unfortunately because of the vertical shot you can't really see them too well. I'll be posting some detail pictures of this on my Instagram at some point.
Downtown Records is a modular record shop, ready and waiting to take it’s place in your LEGO city, I have packed it with brick built detail as well as custom printed parts (two of my favourite things about LEGO sets). I will gradually be revealing more of this project over time, but to start with I have revealed images of the building from the front, the side and the record store interior.
In total, Downtown Records contains about 3000 bricks and is divided into three sections. The bottom section includes a street scape including traffic light and crossing, leafy tree (I am particularly happy with how the tree turned out – I only had to rebuild it four times!) and a small news stand. Inside on the ground floor of the building there is the record store itself with shelves bulging with custom printed records on 2×2 tiles, a bathroom, and access to the staircase leading upstairs.
My aim with the design of the facade was to create a believable downtown two storey brick-faced building with stucco detailing and ornate architectural cornicing.
So if you would like to help make Downtown Records a real LEGO set, it’s free to support, all you need to do is head on over to LEGO Ideas, sign up for an account and hit that blue support button!

My LEGO replica of the Detroit Public Library, Main Branch is part of the Michigan Lego User Group (MichLUG) display in the Henry Ford museum from Nov. 20, 2016 to early January 2017.
This is the first time my complete model of the Cass Gilbert designed Detroit Public Library has been on display. I have not modeled the 1960s additions with the exception of the Cass ave. entrance.
The last two crew members came sprinting down the hallway towards the escape pods. Good, everything was going according to plan. „Shut the door, T3.“ The droid turned around with a beeping noise and sealed the hatch. Now she just had to wait. The republic frigate she was on had been followed by an unidentified vessel since they had left Telos. She was absolutely sure it had to be a Sith killer commando, judging by the precision of the tracking and the carefully kept distance just out of scanner range. Of course, no scanner could beat the Force and she had sensed the imminent danger since their takeoff. Now the Sith had finally decided to show themselves and attack. Right now, they were entering the frigate, thinking that it had taken severe damage in battle. She knew they were coming for her and the younglings they had taken on board earlier on their voyage. She knew she could not hide from them and a fight was inevitable. This was not a last stand, however, this was a trap. As soon as the crew left the ship in the escape pods and the Sith were occupied with fighting her, another republic ship would emerge from hyperspace, take the crew on board and bring not only soldiers from the republic garrison as reinforcements, but also a dozen of Jedi to stop the Sith dead in their tracks. Right then, she heard the buzzing sound of an igniting lightsaber. It was time to fight!

Here's another cinematic shot of my recent vignette, inspired by the Knights of the old Republic games.
Hi! Today I come to you with my fifth entry for Vignweek 2023. The prompt for today was “Treasure Hunting”
Feels a bit long, but my reference photos were all over the place. Had fun with the build! Good ‘parts to hand’ project for the time being. Unpowered, unconcerned lol
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!
Memory Lane Collaborative Build. David Guedes and I built this trip down memory lane. It features buildings and hot rods built by each of us and is packed with little details. This Lego MOC Has brick built SNOT roads and back alley ways. This build was inspired by place like Gastown in Vancouver, New Westminster and Downtown Langley.

The Countach is a car or my childhood - having a poster, metal die-cast model and bragging about its numbers like a kid should.
Now I know the car is not really too practical, to say at best, nor even very fast. But it still looks completely *alien*.
Tackling it in LEGO form was hard. By far the biggest chalenge being the front fenders, which I made several variants off and I still am not fully satisfied. The car there tries to be low, angling, angular and round all at the same time.
I used virutal steeling axle mechanism for front wheels turning and there is a knob in the trunk you can pull out and stick under the license plate to turn the wheels.

I hope you like it!
As you may have guessed from some of my pervious builds, I am a huge fan of Ghost in the Shell, especially the Stand Alone Complex TV series. As it is quite difficult to put together fitting minifigures, I decided to create the characters as BrickHeads. The first one is Batou, Section 9’s second in command and most proficient melee fighter and probably Major Kusanagi’s best friend.
Six-legged "think tank" equipped with artificial intelligence from 1995 sci-fi/action film Ghost in the Shell.
When starting this model, I decided to go with the original desing, since the one from the 2017 Hollywood live-action adaptation of the movie ended up looking like a glorified brick with legs. That being said, this version, even though nice looking, didn`t come without some problems.
For starters, the balancing of the model turned out to be pure hell, all because of that big lump off mass hanging from the rear. I managed to get it to be fairly stable, but it still falls over if handled roughly (and all those Hoth-hats roll off the table into the void. Great)
Then the legs were other challenge, due to their curvy shapes and three toes sticking out. I used some cut flex tape... uh I mean flexitube to represent the tips.
Originally I also had in mind to include the car which this thing was protecting in the film, but that has to wait until we get some tires in right scale.

Today I come to you with my newest creation that comes from The Witcher universe. It is also connected to the fact that The Witcher III „Wild Hunt” had its 10th anniversary, but this model has been updated for last few months and finally I decided to share it today.
All hail to the greatest game of all time!
Enjoy!
If you have been wondering why there has been a serious lack of cars on my page in the last little while, this is the reason. I have had this file for over 6 months, and the frustration with it has increased more and more. I finally just spent a few hours putting some of the sections together so I could put it up.
At this point, I would like to implore anyone who has read this far to comment any ideas or suggestions so that I can finally finish this car and move on to some other projects :)
Thanks for looking!
A LEGO model inspired by the very iconic photo of Frank Zappa that embellished so many bathrooms in the last decades.
At the end of an impossible bridge lies a shrine above the world and beyond decay. Many seek it, many fail.
Guided tours begin at 1,000 gold with a 16.666 (repeating of course) percent chance of success.
It's a dark age! I maybe build once or twice a year. I really wanted to finish I Dreamt of Rust, but MOCpages went to hell. I don't think I can finish the series if I can't even recover the previous episodes. All my homies hate Sean Kenney.
Maybe things will be better after I graduate in the spring. Built the Diagon Alley set with my family and realized I really miss Lego. We'll see.
Second round of 2023 Iron Forge Lego Contest. The task is to use up to 4 different tooth bricks as seed parts. Now protect your ears and souls for there is a new band in town!
The third LEGO skyscraper goes up in Wasabi District! At just over 3 feet tall and over 5000 pieces, this 10-storey building is the first office skyscraper in Wasabi District!
I've somehow missed getting a decent shot of this one last year, so here it goes.
As previously mentioned, there's always one more that doesn't require dismantling the scout's limbs. I wouldn't go as far as to call it a "toy" since the upper part of the thrusters doesn't come solidly interlocked the way you'd expect it in an official set, yet still it's solid enough for play. And even if the minifig comes whole, I still wanted to have the rider looking like he's riding ON the bike, not IN it. This vehicle just doesn't make sense to me if the rider doesn't feel like mastering the bike, not the other way around.
I'll probably post a couple of more shots on Instagram in the following days.
It is a tradition to give presents with christmas in Germany. We also use a christmas calendar to count the days till the 24th of december. And of course secret Santa we also do.
At the German LUG "Rogue Bricks" (www.RogueBricks.de) we combine theses traditions with LEGO and being creative.
We do the secret Santa and therefor we have to build a MOC into a LEGO bauble. Then we are sending these baubles to another member of the LUG. This has to be before first of december. In December begins the calendar on our website. Everyday one bauble is chosen and gets a present.
It really is a pleasure to be part of it.
This year I had to build a bauble for my Austrian friend Markus. He and his wife are waiting for their child who will be born in a few days. So I choose a very personally thing to built, a stroller.
The bauble was chosen today so I finally can present it here. I hope you like it.
Happy Christmas.
My Online-LUG is now 5 years old. Oh and this is also my entry for the seventh round of RogueOlympics, the topic is birthday and we were not allowed to use more then 101 bricks
Section 9, the Japanese anti-terror task force.
Here's the overview of the little brick head series. Maybe I'll create some more based on Ghost in the Shell and other anime. What characters would you like to see?
A small platoon of New Republic infantry from the Hornet Squadron have been sent into the cold to check on an outposts outlying pipeline. The pipeline is vital to the outpost and has to be protected at all costs from potential sabotage and local wildlife.
I don’t have a very in-depth story for this build as I mainly did it to experiment with some unique terrain colors and color blocking.
If you enjoy this, please consider adding the main photo as a favorite as well. Main photo and backstory of the character: www.flickr.com/photos/188464565@N06/50001985476/in/pool-1...
I have to say, capturing a character is a challenge in itself, but the 200 piece count mandate was brutal on this one. I am proud of the result and will likely create a second version without the part limitation.
That said, enjoy the various poses the Mistress is capable of. They all submit eventually.
Something different. I wanted to build an oldtimer which could be used in a larger display. After a while I had this one as a result.
I love the white rims and also the way how the fenders are fixed on this MOC.
Tiny is one of the Little Robots and loves to stroll through the woods. On one day he found a mysterious place there. A sword stuck in a stone. The moment he was about to touch the sword, it was surrounded with a sparkling and magical light. He decided to free it from its stone sheath... The rest is history - and filmed by Disney with other well known characters.
My entry for the 4th round of the RogueOlympics (101 parts challenge) on www.RogueBrics.de
This weeks theme was "magical" and I directly thought about Disney and the story about Merlin and Excalibur. So I decided to built this story but of course with a little twist, because I wanted to use a Little Robot again. I also used trees from Duplo and from the late 60ies.

The Second Battle of the Marne, sometimes called the Battle of Reims, was a series of German offensives and Allied counter-offensives, which took place on the Western Front, here the Second Battle of the Marne took place in the North-East of the France from May 27 to August 6, 1918, with decisive events from July 15 to 20, 1918.

Welcome to the Royal Nest! A new castle for the new griffin faction which was designed for Bricklink Designer Program Series 9. You can support my submissions by voting and commenting:
www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-9/main.page?...
The round bastions, the decorated main gate, Gothic windows, the yellow half-timbered house, the plants, and many other details make this castle a worthy home for the king of the griffin faction. It can be displayed either closed or in multiple open formats, and in the open configurations, the interior becomes accessible. It includes a throne room, the king's bedroom, an attic with a treasure chest, a dining hall, a kitchen with a masonry oven, a blacksmith's forge with an anvil, a prison in the basement, and servants' quarters. All the doors are functional.
For the Bricking Bavaria exhibition I built some small builds for the collaboration "Skytopia" with the guys from www.RogueBricks.de
Here you see the Quake Supply Store.
My love for the dark creatures of fantasy movies inspired me to design this Dragon Attack set, which was originally submitted to the Bricklink Designer Program Series. The dragon is not based on any existing character; I studied some cool AI-generated images and interesting dragon head designs but ultimately built something completely new. Building instructions and further details are available via the link below:
