A young knight who was trained the elemental arts. Twig has spent her entire life preparing to defend the Wind Monastery, deep within the forests of old. She can call upon the wind itself to aid her in battle. They are good friends.
Her ears are very soft, but please don't poke them.

This was an experimental Lego building technique that I've been dying to try. Basically, some sets use uniquely cut sheets for wings, sails, and clothes. I wanted to take this concept to it's logical extreme to see what happens.
I took heavily inspiration from the Forma sets, but I wanted to shake things up and make a fully posable figure. I'm very happy with the result! And the best part is that technically all the connections are legal because they all appear in official sets! I'm a purist, so that's important to me.

Mid 1920ies single-cylinder hot bulb tractor. This is the solid rubber tire model used as road traction engine. The motor developes 12hp from one cylinder with 6.5l cubic capacity. The engine can be reversed, and will start in either direction. Preferred fuel is Diesel, but waste oil will do (please, don't try this at home). There's no gearbox, just a differential.
The sound of the piston moving in the big Lego cylinder is pretty close to the sound of the original Lanz!
I revisited the model because, finally, the dish 8x8 (3961) came out in red, which gives pretty exact front wheels.
Ted looks a tad perplexed about his idea of introducing his jammin' crab friends to his new LDD robo-crab, Percy!
Hope that gift of a fish is a good indication of a crab welcome?
But wait a minute... Do robo-crabs even eat fish???
The photo in the upper right was of an early primitive build in chromatic & thematic eclectic juxtaposition that was posted on the old MOCpages. It wasn't a good photo, so I kept it small here. But... I do so love these little Bionicle crabs!
You can see more of Ted's crab pals in 3 of my LEGO Videos here on Flickr...

Smaller steam cylinder and steam chest, added mechanical lubricator. Model is pretty exactly 3/4 inch scale. See my video, too!
She is my first 1:8 scale car and it took me probably 12 hrs to assemble it, but quite enjoyed it :)
Already modified it. The headlights were quite lacking so I changed them. Also I've made some improvements to the doors too.
Also I've made a quick photoshoot with her little sister :D (a Speed Champions moc of mine.)
If you are interested in the modifications here is a free tutorial for them:

I built a LEGO technic version of these well known desk toys. Please check the functionality in the video. You can also watch it on YouTube
Looking back on the original version of this guy I honestly don't know what I was thinking. But I am so f*ckin' happy with this new version! I hope ya'll like him too.

So it turns out the plow from the Unimog fits perfectly with the John Deere Axron.

The 1924 Targa Florio winner car was a 2 liter, 4 cylinder, super-charged Mercedes, with Chistian Werner at the wheel. This car is an early example of the famous Merceds Compressor series, culminating in the famous SSK and SSKL.
Unlike the usual white livery of the Mercedes racers, this car was actually painted red: Rumour has it this was a camouflage strategy to stop Italian fanatics from throwing rocks at the passing car, because it might be taken for Italian.
In the 1920ies, the race cars were actually driven to the race track on public roads like normal automobiles. For this trip, mudguards and license plates had to be mounted, to comply with traffic regulations. My model is shown in both configurations: as a slick racer, and as a roadworthy automobile.
Lego model with four-cylinder engine, two speed gearbox, differential, leaf spring suspension, steering, and operational hand crank.
I know I have been serious about moccing for most of the year so far, but since I'm young and still developing, my hormones tell me to make things like this.

I have made a lot of progress since my last post. I know, it doesn't look much different, but all of the internal functions are done, the control surfaces are set, the dimensions have been finalized, and landing gear is set.
I am in the midst of acquiring all the dark green I need to finish the model. Thank goodness for 10226 and 21016. I'm happy I stuck with it. It's going to be epic.
Find out all about Ted in this and, hopefully, soon-to-follow revealing videos!
(This version may require time to load, so patience please.)
FYI:
This video is made from 1 new & 3 old photos recently edited.
Background foliage in all photos is from photos I took in 2009 at various locations in Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom.
Background music is a snippet from the Bond Film theme song, Nobody Does It Better, sung by Carly Simon .

During construction this MOC was referred to only as 'nimrod," which is entirely irrelevant, but is also the only thing I have to say about her right now. Review coming soon over in YT land.

Technic Ted is completely baffled as to just how Larry the Lab accomplished these Lavatory Locations!
FYI: I had this LEGO snowman displayed for many years, hence, uv discoloration. Guess it took LEGO awhile to think about putting uv absorbers in their ABS? I mean…like it’s not rocket science… just your basic everyday polymer chemistry! Anyhoo, you can view the following photo here on Flickr that shows you how I deal with UV discoloration. www.flickr.com/photos/76542/34932284966
