A Lego version of the SDF-1 Macross, as featured in the 1984 film "Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do you remember love?"
This spacecraft was a tricky build due to its ability to transform between two modes, that either made it into a long, bulky ship, or a 1200 meter tall megarobot.
The transformation process begins by splitting the front of the craft into sections, that form the two main cannons. Then the middle superstructure spins 180 degrees around a central pole, and locks into place. Finally the thrusters and launch bays can be opened and positioned in order to make the arms and legs of the robot mode. I found this video on YouTube showing the full process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwe2E2K2vk8
The stand also has some features. I made two switchable mounts for the different modes to rest on.
DEFENDERS OF THE DEEP, THE LAST RESISTANCE.
(Clash of the Deep series Pt. 5)
This is the fifth post of a series I built for the #Janubewary challenge hosted by @bricksandfables over on Instagram! The first arc of my series focused on a small group of individuals that rise up to defend the seas against a new group of aquatic interlopers. This is the assembled group! The first couple fantastic edits come courtesy of the venerable @sword.bricks without whom my post would be simply—well, blue. I built these bases with the intentions of linking them together for a cohesive, modular display for the characters, which is why you see many common elements woven throughout multiple scenes(some of the coral, the seaweed, etc.). I don't often build underwater scenes, and I've never tried coral before, so this was a fun project for me!
When shadows and storms began to pour out of the sea, many ships' crews believed the end was nigh.
"Lo, and behold, the end of days. The great tendril will emerge from the depths, wrap around the earth, and sink the continents into the sea," said the captain of the Hycon.
"I can't believe I don't get to fish anymore. This blows," said his first mate.
As loot began to pour into what few ships could survive the conditions of the now troubled sea, and far more crews were lost to her briny depths altogether, many folks began to lose hope. But those few who kept the hope alive prayed to the Wayward Savior, that she might find allies who were brave enough to quell the evil that stirred under that dark surface. A few nonreligious folks even came as close to prayer as they were able—they poured an ale out for the bard that hadn't been seen in some time, that he might also find benevolent companions beneath the sea.
Would brighter skies ever shine on the seas again? Would the waves remember their long-forgotten capacity for gentleness? Could a shanty ever again be heard in a place that wasn't a tavern with its spirits weighed down? Let us pray that those who sought to protect the ocean and all its secrets had found each other, and let us pray that they spare us all from our fate.
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 small "Red Flyer" - just a quick build to fill the space of the collaboration above the sky. Also two antennas with signs.
"Argh, the darn critters; tripped the sensors again. I'll be back."

Blitz Squad along with the other squads of the 253rd were ordered to quarter in a local village near by. Havoc and his men upon arriving at their host's home quickly formed a friendship between them and the family that lived there. Welcomed with open arms, Havoc, Style, Law, and Fixer made themselves at home.
"You clones aren't what I pictured. To be honest, y'all aren't anything near what I pictured."
"What do you mean?"
As the evening came, Havoc learned that Namir, their host, was a man with a heart loyal to Republic, but just like many citizens throughout the galaxy, he'd never seen a clone face to face.
"You clones- act normal- are normal..."
Namir paused.
"Many of us expected clones to be somewhat like droids. Programmed to just follow orders except in the form of a human. But you aren't like that. You all have respect for each other and those who you meet. You can connect and understand your surroundings.
I guess all I can say is that I am grateful that the Republic has soldiers like you."
Havoc stood up from his chair and rose his glass.
"To Namir and his family."
With smiles around the table, everyone rose their glasses in unison.
As the group was about to drink their toast, a flashing red light appeared on the wall.
"Argh, the darn critters; tripped the sensors again. I'll be back."
Namir made his way to the front door.
"We'll wait for you, sir."
"Thank you Sergeant Havoc."
Dinner talk resumed as Namir left the house.
As laughs were being exchanged the group abruptly froze as a blast from outside was heard.
Havoc turned and nodded to each of his men. Grabbing their helmets and weapons, they put their backs to the wall and peered through the windows.
"I have no visual, sir."
"Law with me. Fixer, Style, stay with the family."
Havoc and Law, staying under the level of the windows, crept to the door.
Law tapped the control panel and the door slid open. As they turned and faced the moonlight, Havoc spotted Namir on the dirt path, dead.
"Clones! Fire."

A tiny Lego version of a RX-78 type gundam from the 1979 mecha show Mobile Suit Gundam. Microfigure for scale.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Just a small MOC because it is this time of the year again. I wanted to use the round bezel with 8 studs from the LEGO watches as the ring from the basket, so the whole thing started with this part.
'Pumpkin Basketball' - maybe a new Olympic discipline? Bouncing the pumpkin might be a little bit difficult - don't you think?
More specifically, a 1983 Porsche 911 SC/RS Coupe.
Many months ago, I started working on a 911. After a few days, I pushed it to the back burner and all but forgot about it. Until yesterday when Ron Dayes uploaded his beautiful Porsche 991: www.flickr.com/photos/rondayes/38378267066/in/feed
It got me thinking about my 911 and I went and started digging around to find all of my old prototypes. And after some much needed tweaking, here it is.
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome! Thanks for looking!
Central Library is located in Milwaukee, WI. The building opened in 1898, and the model uses 298 pieces.
My first truck in this scale. I wanted to go with something a bit smaller than the usual Ford or Ram, so I chose the Datsun 520.
Build: My options were this and the GMC Cyclone, and I chose this due to its "work-truck" look. This was one of my most challenging builds so far, despite how simple it looks. It took around 2 weeks of work, but I think it was well worth it!
Specs: Being scaled down to 1/43, it measures 12 long, 5 1x1 plates high, and 5 studs across.
Reason: After doing mostly Super and Sport cars for quite a few months, I wanted to add some more everyday cars to my collection. Hopefully, this is just the first of many to come!
Thanks for looking!
Edgar is interested in an adventure within the wider world. But where can he go? What will he see? Especially with no hands? None of these concern him, for the world awaits at his toe tips.

This build was an excuse to explore creature building more, and inspired from the white Tohunga feet from early Bionicle sets. It is a simple concept and therefore simple build, being a fun, and whimsical creature that stands and looking at things. With the character build itself being rather simple, the addition of a backpack and various items that show his adventurous side such a bedroll, fishing net, and then his smaller fishing hat, it gives that as if he is off to something grand.
My first 32x32 modular MOC ever! This modern ramen restaurant building features a condo on its upper floors.
Second Round of Iron Forge.
Challenge: Use the parts 4522 (Tool Hammer/ Mallet) and part 4006 (Tool Spanner Wrench/ Screwdriver).
7th entry: I've plan et planting plants on the moon.
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
Thanks very much.
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.
Who is this new stranger in the Candy Kingdom? The charismatic talking heart named Ricardio! He soon becomes very popular, except to Finn who believes he's hiding something. Little does Finn know just what the gent is…
Let me be the first to say just how expressive this little guy is. During the concept phase for the build, it was clear that getting the characteristics of Ricardio was key. Ethan (@ethan.the.artisan) did an exceptional job, using his butt-load of bricks to bring this bud to life!
Contest entry for the recent contest on www.RogueBricks.de "Adventure Awaits".
The theme gives pretty much possibilities, but Indiana Jones and Johnny Thunder came directly into my mind.
As it is June, the son of Johnny has to go on an adventure to find the golden bananas on Skull Island. HIs name? Juney Thunder - (as Simon and Markus would say ^^)
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!
Checkered Tan House is a spacious summer residence with light colours. It's built on top of a creek and is surrounded by green, bright green and lime green foliage. A small patio is carved out in the rocks. Fully furnished of course.
This house has similarities both with one of my earliest builds Autumn Stream House and my box-shaped Coral House.
My aim was to keep the house simple, creating dynamics only with the combination of house bodies and windows. This makes a contrast to the green surroundings of the house.
I've dreamed of building the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse ever since I first saw the movie as a kid.
Now, in Lego, I have!
Here it is: the most iconic treehouse of all time!
Support this project and you can have your very own Falconhurst Treehouse.

Designing this set was an awesome challenge. My first attempt completely fell apart. Three months later, after redesigning everything, I was done with a solid model. You might think that this set will break apart, but the building techniques used, invisible in the finished model, make it extremely strong, even to the end of every branch. Technic pieces connect the green base to the inside of the tree and into the floor of the main treehouse. From top to bottom this set is solid. There has never been a Lego set anything like this so support it and make it a reality!
The treehouse has lots of great functions. The stairs fold up, just like in the movie. There is a trap door you can open and close in the floor of the main treehouse; the roof of each treehouse comes off easily so you can play inside each hut; the right treehouse opens in the front so you can set things up without taking off the roof. And there are lots of great details, like the bunk bed, ships steering wheel, shelves with books and trinkets, a small organ and so much more.
It comes with six minifigures, two dogs, and two monkeys. The minifigures are Mr and Mrs Robinson, Fritz, Ernst, Roberta or "Bertie" and Francis.
It consists of about 2,730 pieces and most are really small, but with the use of parts that currently don't come in the colors needed for the treehouse (mostly reddish brown and dark brown) this count could easily be reduced. It is an impressive set that fits nicely on the corner of my desk.
Thanks Bruce for the help with the photos.

A used record store popular among the local hipsters. The second floor includes a lounge area where shoppers can play discs on the turn table and help themselves to some free coffee. Don't ask me how they stay in business.
I intended to make the dome run all the way back but didn't have any more of those pieces (and didn't want to make another bricklink order). The back walls of the interiors could perhaps use some album cover stickers or something...
This was something I have worked on for awhile, just playing around with building in a bigger scale.
Getting closer to topping off by adding 2 more floors, but I need to actually start designing and working on the first floor/foundation, as well as the interiors.
Also, follow @wooootles on Instagram, where I also share LEGO WIPs including this skyscraper project (and other things too, it's my personal IG account!)
The Queen Bricktoria has been featured in the latest issue (issue 60) of Blocks Magazine. A 2 page spread and an interview with me about the design of the model.
Hi! Today I want to show you my first build for Rebellug’s Vignweek 2023 contest. Today’s prompt was Disney. I hope you like my creation which shows you Pinocchio on his way to school and cricket watching him carefully.
MOC I built for the Green Zone of the LEGO House in Billund.
It shows an oriental scene with a house, a garden and a caravan.
While setting the MOC up in Billund, I put more details in it - but the pics aren't that good.
If you ever get the chance to visit the LEGO House: DO IT! It is awesome!
The Vybe Hotel - the newest addition in Wasabi District, officially open for business!
With10 stories tall, 6000+ pieces, the 4th skyscraper in the Wasabi District is a 3/4-star hotel aimed at and caters to the younger demographic.
My third build for the Iron Forge 2025. I used a total of six seed parts here, two in the head, two in the feet, and one for the stomach and ear each.
This was supposed to be an entry for LEGO Ideas Activity "A Pop of Blue" in which you had to build something only using blue bricks.
I completely missed the deadline thinking it was until the end of the day... ahah
Nothing is lost, decided to post it here anyways and, it felt good having a break from the little builds and building tips!
This is a sci-fyish Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicle (VTOL) and started out with the windshield element and the cones for engines.
I do daily LEGO building tips on Youtube:

My newest building is inspired by a condo featured in one of my favorite new TV series, Orphan Black, filmed on location in Toronto.
Former police officer and the only non-cyborg on the team besides Aramaki.
Togusa is one of my favorite characters from Ghost in the Shell, since he probably remains the most human in body and soul among all the cyborgs.
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.

After the last few peaceful, rather city like builds, there will be some more Star Wars builds soon! I also got another exciting little build in the works, which is quite different from my usual stuff, so stay tuned!
