Meet mister Xavier van Thom, an accountant at the ministry of manicing and his wife Griselda van Thom, a former writer of horror novels and their son Boo who wants to become a boogeyman and of course Baby Rosie, a cutie and their family dog Boney
A cobbled mix of a few different references I found. Not a lot of experience building vehicles, but this was a fun one.
These buildings are based on certain architectural elements found in NYC. Especially the fire escape in front, a corner deli and neighborhood restaurants.
Medieval Watchtower build for some Dragon Knights! The tower by itself would have felt a bit empty, so I attached a small stable next to the tower.
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!
Probably the most visited and most photographed bridge in Venice, (Ponte di Rialto) opened in 1591.Connecting the districts of San Polo and San Marco across the Grand Canal in the heart of the city, the Rialto Bridge has always been a busy crossing over the canal.The bridge is formed by two inclined ramps covered by a portico with shops on either side. This area has long been a market place for Venetians and Tourists.
My completed model of the 19 story Ford Building. The original was completed in 1909 and was designed by Daniel Burnham & Co. It is the oldest of the three surviving structures in Detroit designed by his architectural firm. While not considered a skyscraper today, it certainly was in 1909 when it was the tallest building in the city.
This model was displayed at the 100 anniversary party for the real building on November 12, 2009.

Another entry for the Iron Forge Final. Since I really love the witcher books and series, it was time to do a MOC from this realm. The seed part (hinge plate 1x2 top plate) makes Geralts arms bend, but you'll find it all over ^^
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.
With the tragic loss of Alex Trebek late in 2020 I felt I needed to do something meaningful as a tribute to the man and his legacy of knowledge, service, and entertainment. My wife and I watch Jeopardy every day so the show and Alex have become a fixture in our lives. The most appropriate idea, and the obvious one for me, was to build a Lego MOC!

Symmetra
Traveling to Ayutthaya
"Kintsugi: instead of hiding something broken, celebrate it. This should be how we interact. With respect. As
welcomed friends. Trying to understand…and be understood."
Based on the Marammat skin for Symmetra, featured in the "Stone by stone" short story.

The world could always use more heroes.
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.

The awesome taxi is a moc by T.Bricks (thilo-schoen.de). He has more cool models and even writes books, go check him out! TV camera and piano a based on mocs by Kristel (rebrickable.com/users/Kristel/) and SleepyCow (rebrickable.com/users/SleepyCow/) Thanks so much for being so generous! ❤️
- Chapter 1 -
• Western Russia, Kazan region
When the Russian Government relocated to Yekaterinburg due to western Russia being in decay from the NATO retaliation strikes, many stayed behind, some of them upset with the new government signing a peace deal with the West.
Small separatist military groups have sprung up, comprising of former soldiers and personnel of the Russian military, along with upset locals, wanting to topple the new government or gain independence for their regions.
Acquiring heavy firepower from abandoned military depots, they attack Russian military patrols that secure the border in the Kazan region, disrupting the new government’s influence and control of Western Russia, and taking over key military infrastructures. The already weakened government stresses priority on suppressing these small uprisings, before they grow more relentless.
Very happy to share with you my contribution to Epilogue Collab, an initiative to inspire other military builders with a fictional near-future story. This build has been very fun to make, and I’m happy to have been able to try out new techniques and ideas for this one. More details on Instagram.

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.
This small skyscraper is composed mostly of clear 1x2 bricks and some clear cheese wedge pieces as well. The very top of it was destroyed when it was bumped, but it wasn't very impressive, architecturally. It was open on top so the heat from the incandescent lamp could vent out, but I replaced the incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent one, which doesn't seem to burn as hot.

The Forestmen (including Forest Guardians and Dark Forest) are my favorite sub theme from LEGO Castle. Like many, I wanted to revisit the nostalgia of my childhood by building this classic Castle set. But of course, that set was made for kids in the 80s, so naturally it was very simplistic and only included 325 pieces. So I decided to re-envision it for the 2020s and in my own style. Because the Forestmen Sigil is a stag, I thought including a stone stag sculpture on the front of the tower would be a great tribute. I redesigned the trees using some newer pieces from the Creator Pirate Ship set, and made a stone bridge using some of the great Pentagonal tiles from the PAB wall at the LEGO store. Lastly as a hat tip to Majisto the wizard from classic Castle, I included a modern wizard from the LEGO store's Build A Minifigure kiosk.
This was my second MOC since returning to LEGO after a 17 year dark ages period / hiatus, so I'm still re-building my collection from scratch, after losing my original collection in a move. So there is a ton of improvisation here and I did not have many of the pieces I would have preferred to use. That said, constraint is the mother of creativity, and I think the parts shortage forced me to come up with some creative build decisions and parts usage. I'd like to redo this soon now that I've had the opportunity to gather more parts from BrickLink to fill in some of the many gaps in my collection, but wanted to document this one here for posterity and comparison.
Due to various factors my building rate has declined significantly. Nevertheless I am pressing on with my Detroit building project.
I selected this building to model because of its art deco style. While modest in comparison to the more flamboyant hotels of Miami's South Beach, this light industrial building has a couple of nice stepped Mayan stye arches.
I also have a photo of the original building in my photo collection.
Can anyone guess what building this is? (question has now been answered)
(it is located on a major Detroit road)
The Michigan Lego Train Club put up a large 20 x 30 foot display at the Owosso Train Festival - July 23-26, 2009.
Chris and I put up the downtown area of the LEGO train layout.
Second floor interior. Chairs made of bike parts and a paint roller handle lamp.
This house has a number of cuboid bodies linked together by a dark blue tiled hallway hosting a spiral staircase. Large glass windows offer a view of the ground floor and roof garden. Solar panels and home grown vegetables contribute to a sustainable way of living.
During the final days of the clone wars, local militia and clones on Silla had almost defeated the separatists on the planet, only for Order 66 to be issued and the clones turn on their Jedi to the dismay of the militia that had fought with him. Immediately the militia jumped into action to save the Jedi, taking the clones by surprise and defeating them. When news reached the Inquisition, an inquisitor and fresh clones were sent to hunt down the Jedi and any who helped him. Holding out at the old separatist defenses on the planet, the Jedi and surviving militia make their final stand.

Crab Developer Kit: CR4B1
Using only the parts from 9748 and a couple of extra bevel gears, I made this alternate for the Crab collab after the pieces were sitting around for an incomplete moc I was blocked on for ages. I may publish some instructions later since alternates for this set are practically non-existent.

#TimeForCrab is here! This year we invite all builders across the community and the globe to participate in a month-long open crab collab, spanning June 22 to July 22. The task is simple:
1. Build a crab
2. Post your crab with the tag #timeforcrab
3. Repeat!
All crustaceans are welcome, and your build can be anything recognizably crustacean-inspired. Be it an actual crab, a fantasy crab, a mech, a spaceship, a castle or anything else - just make it vaguely resemble crab! The primary venues of Time for Crab are Flickr and Instagram, but feel free to share your crabs far and wide. Spread the word, and invite your friends to join!
The ambition is to make this an annually recurring month-long open collab, always taking place in this same timeframe. Let's get the ball rolling.
It's Time for Crab!
This tree is super solid. Can you guess how I built it this way? My first attempt took about three weeks and then totally fell apart. Three months later I had a solid build. I made two different sizes. One super big and the other large. The smaller one is up on Lego ideas so please go VOTE for it there. Here is the link: ideas.lego.com/projects/e299db50-89bc-41e5-a69d-1f51520093e4
It is a modular fish market sized 64x32 studs comprising seven pavilions and few bridges. The market is divided into wet goods and dry goods zone, with shops ranged from fish stalls, flower shop and grocery stores at Ground, and cafe and restaurant on the 1st Floor. Vibrant Coral and Dark Azur are adopted as colour palette of the design. Built with several types of window frames, a huge canopy provides weather proection to the people below. Enjoy shopping and eating with proper distancing!
My Lego replica of the Griswold building. The prototype was designed by Albert Kahn in 1929. It was originally an office building and was later converted to senior apartments in circa 1980.
Update:
In 2014, the real building was revamped and renamed "The Albert". The former residents were asked to leave and the newly renovated apartments are being marketed to young professionals who can afford the $1,200 to $2,300 monthly rent.
