Its still a WIP, C&C are welcomed.
EDIT: The door will be on the side and this building wont be a corner piece anymore.
The Harbrick Boarding School (for children with no magical abilities). Not at all associated with Hogwarts (the sign above the door is just a coincidence). Anyway, it's an attempt at neo-gothic architecture, loosely inspired by an asylum in NY.
A Neo Fabuland Town Square
This build is part of a larger display I built in 2025, revisiting and expanding on the concept of Neo Fabuland—a reinterpretation of the classic Fabuland aesthetic, much like how Neo-Classic Space draws inspiration from the original Classic Space theme. If you’re curious, you can read more about the goals of the project here.
All six builds for this display are now complete, but so far I have only posted two sections, Maximillian’s Watermill and Hilltop Station, and this is the third one I completed.
This build is not inspired by an existing Fabuland set. It features a bustling town centre with a tavern, an apartment building with a rooftop hut and garden, a stone bridge, vehicles and a statue.
Lighter, bipedal version of the Strydr + an improvement of the previous Takahe 1 model.
Fun lil droneuary post. More pictures available on my Instagram @ realmink.io
Another way to appraoch Legobricks. It's for the Rogue Olympics at roguebricks.de, theme is "Hidden" in not more than 101 bricks
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!
This is the second office floor, feautiring a large conference room, a break room and a lounge.
My Lego model of the Detroit Public Library main branch. The original structure was designed by famous architect Cass Gilbert in the Beaux-Arts style in 1921. I have choosen to model only the front portion of the building since the Library is such a large structure that it is impractical to construct all of it in this scale.
An updated version of my newest modular. I completely reworked the top details, replace the purple tiled center column (to my girlfriend's dismay), and added some details to the bottom floor. Original version here: www.flickr.com/photos/15902478@N02/14085892016/
What do you think - better? worse?
The Vybe Hotel - the newest addition in Wasabi District, officially open for business!
Second floor of the hotel - The lounge! Includes bar, kitchen, balcony and utilizing trans/glass pieces nealy everywhere.
A cobbled mix of a few different references I found. Not a lot of experience building vehicles, but this was a fun one.
A new attempt to built this most lgendary ship in this most legendary color scheme. Thrusters and Cockpit move instantly with turning the model.
Built because of love but also for Roguebricks Annual Challenge!
My fifth entry for the Iron Forge 2025! I had a lot of fun with this one, both in building and while editing the photo.
The seed part for this round is any one-wheel mudguard, of which I used 21 in this build: two each in the bumper cars, and an additional thirteen in the bunting
What. A. Chore. I couldn’t begin to tell you why proportioning this engine has been such a bane, but between the boiler, the tanks, the cab, the bunker, the wheels…. No combination of sizes or shapes I tried worked. This result here… is the least offensive of my attempts and the last of my patience. At quick glance I think it at least communicates (auto tank). But I want to focus on a new build and need to move on. So here’s my first overhaul of the new year rail ready.
The Vybe Hotel - the newest addition in Wasabi District, officially open for business!
First floor of the hotel - The lobby! Includes stairs, elevator, computer/office room and of course the front desk.
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.
I think I have rebuilt this set over a hundred times. There are so many options in Lego and I tried most of them, so good, some great, some terrible. Since I took these photos I have rebuilt the head and neck. Photos coming soon.
On a recent trip to the coast, I noticed the many ways in which Land meets Water.
This MOC is an attempt to mimic rockwork as arches using plates. The result was a bowl shaped island which I made into a self sustained island village.
MARVEL X D&D: THE ARTIFICER
This is the first post of a series that explores what a number of fantastical Marvel characters would be if they were one of the 13 different classes of Dungeons and Dragons (5e). The first of these classes is the Artificer.
Doc Ock (Armorer)
While he lacks the full suit of armor, Doctor Otto Octavius is a prime example of a character whose ingenious nature led them to craft a mechanism that enhances the body's functionality. Not generally considered a hero, Doc Ock is a grim reminder that even those blessed with incredible intellect can fall prey to their own ambitions clouding ethics.
Loner. Stranger. A ‘collection of past lives.’ That’s how the residents of the land speak of this aging wanderer. Once a brutish Dark Hunter within the corrupted shell of Mata Nui. Once a fearful Glatorian fighter in the remaining outlaw pits of the Bara Magna Dunes. And now once again, a weary, roaming traveler. Strength has kept him alive this long, but danger and greed have taken almost all his old compatriots and friends. To most, he is certainly past his prime, and most certainly lacking in purpose. But perhaps destiny is not forced, it is found. Rumors from border towns tell tales of a lone warrior protecting innocents from desert raiders. It seems Burdux has taken to a new duty to defend the peoples of the waste.
World premiere of my huge Ankh-Morpork diorama (from Terry Pratchetts Discworld novels) at Berlin Steinewahn 2022. Took me one year to finish and I had a blast exhibiting it for the first time. As always between networking and chatting there was not enough time to take pictures, but I'll make more at the following exhibitions. See you next weekend in Skaerbaek !!
One of several streets leading through the model
The Magnolias on 10th --- The newest luxury development at Wasabi District!
Here's a sample interior of a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment.
Check out @wooootles on Instagram to find some WIP/under construction pics!
MichLTC's 10 x 35 foot display is at the Henry Ford Museum from November 21, 2012 to January 6, 2013.
A couple of Larry's Greenfield Village buildings with my Union Depot train station in the background.
My newest addition to the Wasabi District. About 3000 pieces and the size of a typical CREATOR Expert corner building.
Irish Pub on the first floor!
At least the parts encompassing the track are done-ish. Now it’s all detail work and touch ups. Need something for that back area but idk what….
My rendition of the Penobscot Annex in LEGO. The prototype, designed by Donaldson and Meier, was completed in 1913. It was the second tallest building in Detroit after the Dime Building until the mid 1920s. The LEGO model is 5.4 feet (1.66 meters) high and weighs about 90 pounds. The Penobscot Annex is my fourth tallest LEGO building (Fisher, David Stott, and Penobscot Building [1928] are taller).
The smaller structure to the left is the Savoyard Center (formerly the People's State Bank). I will display the entire Penobscot Block at the Midland Center for the Arts during their "Art of the Brick" exhibit this summer.
After many months of building in LDD and then collecting real pieces, I have finally completed my Koenigsegg. This is one of my favorite cars and I am so happy to finally have it on my shelf.
Specs: The car is 13 long, 6 wide, and something high (I forgot to measure). Compared to some of my current stuff, the build is quite simple, with the front being an exception.
A big thanks to Ron and Paulo for getting me started in this scale, it is a whole lot of fun and you can expect more cars in the future!
Thanks for looking!
After 22 months of off and on construction, the LEGO Guardian Building is complete. The model is 8 feet (2.46 meters) high to the roof.
This model will be displayed for the first time at the Henry Ford Museum starting on November 24, 2014 and ending in early January 2015.
This image of the top of the Guardian's "north tower" shows only an approximation of the multitude of setbacks and the incredible brickwork on the original.
This is the first six stories of the Penobscot Annex built out of LEGO bricks. The Annex is the last building that I need to complete the entire Penobscot Block. The building's floor area measures 49 x 68 studs. Eventually the Annex will rise to the full 23 stories of the original. At the rate that I am accumulating parts, this could take a while.
Here is a photo I took of the original building: www.flickr.com/photos/decojim/2997577466/
This six story version will be displayed along with the rest of the Penobscot Block as part of a large 20 x 30 foot Michigan Lego Train Club layout at the Owosso Train Festival on July 23-26, 2009.
