Built for the preliminary round of Bio-Cup 2022
Theme: Nature
I won't deny that I was stuck, looking for a concept, for as long as a full week. I really wanted to avoid making a whole moc designed around plants, trees or flowers, and didn't want to make a simple animal either.
The concept behind this build is quite straight-forward: what if Mother Nature was some kind of lovecraftian, outer space entity, instead of her typical motherly/human-like depiction?
The first things I designed were the torso and belly. I really wanted to keep the key mother nature symbolism (all the recalls to fertility and being a mother and whatnot) while adding an outerworldly feel to all of it. I also wanted her head to have a single eye that resembled a bright star.
The addition of tentacles at the vertical edges of the moc was a simple way to strengthen the cosmic horror feel of the build. The blue zamor represents, of course, a planet fit to inhabit life.
Huge thanks to @Dv_mocs and @Carecreations_ for helping me out both in defining the early concept and in the final edits!
The real Tinker Motorbike was designed by Jack Lennie and is really cool. I don't often design or make Lego Technic moc's but I really like the Tinker so thought I'd have a go at recreating it
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.
Water elemental of unknown origin and sister MOC to Taliss. I enjoyed utilizing all the shades of translucent blue on one MOC. I think the overall color pallet and gradients turned out pretty good if not a tad chaotic. I also like the bubble shapes on her back using the large ribbed hoses, nice design symmetry with her straight up bubble wand staff.
After my LEGO Technic Feller-Buncher I've decided to create one more forest tractor – it's John Deere Skidder 648L. Skidder is a type of heavy vehicle used in a logging operation for pulling cut trees out of a forest. Unfortunately the scale of my skidder differs from the scale of the Feller-Buncher because there are no such a big wheels in Lego. Maximum dimensions: 50x18x22 cm, clearance – 2.5 cm, the weight – 1660 g, the scale 1:19. There are nine PF motors, four IR receivers and one LiPo in my model. We have eight RC functions here.

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...

Technic functional goodness!
Even though I grew up with LEGO Technic before my semi-dark ages, my skills in it are still rusty. I struggled for weeks trying to make the 4-wheel drive, pendular suspension, steering, double V8 engine, and working flatbed.
One of my favorite MOCs technique wise. A fairly non descript character design but lots of armor placement I'm super happy with.
Ventos is an Admiral of Odessa's planetary navy and commands its eleventh fleet. Though he'd rather be kicking people and partying on week days.

As manufactured by the Best Company, San Leandro, California, around 1905. Some of these behemoths remain preserved, even operational. Best merged with the Holt Company (known for their tracked vehicles) in 1925, to become Caterpillar.
The Best traction engines are easyly recognized by their three-wheeled design and their upright boiler - the horizontal tank is a water container. Other than that, the design was pretty antiquated for its time, with no brakes, no gear shift, and a top speed of about 4mph.
The most prominent Best engine is "Old Dinah", purchased in 1894 for hauling borax through Death Valley. Today it can bee seen sitting at Furnace Creek, in a pretty desolate state.
Another preserved engine, the very one that inspired me to this build, is nicknamed "Susanpuffer" and can be seen in action here on youtube:

My model is remote-controlled and powered by a BuWizz.
Remotely controlled drive, steering, lift operation and lift folding.
Other features: suspension, cabin doors,sectional rear door and open-able sidewalls
This picture was taken during Brick By the Bay 2018. Nothing really else to add other than how this is my favorite picture taken while over there, and how I have been very inactive.
Hello Fellow compatriots to yet another moc! or rather a group of mocs! when building these Toa Hagah i wanted to go for whatever would look cool for these builds in the spirit of the original Toa Hagah sets we got with a variation of shoulder builds but also better articulation which has been hungered over for a long time. Now with these Toa individual they each carry a particular theme. Toa Gaaki is filled with vents for a more aquatic feel while her mask having subtle relationship with the mask of clairvoyance, furthermore i made her left handed. With Toa Boomunga i went with the theme of Rock Raiders, intigrating the brown with the black while adding metallic armor. However since there is already so many colors on him already, i reserved the green for the eyes. being the cool one in the group Kualus is Ice Planet themed personified while being asymmetrical with his metallic armor. But also since his right arm is exposed it allows him to swing his pickaxe more effectively fictionally speaking. Now for my boi Pouks, there is only so much that you can do with Mata brown so i made him a beefcake of muscle with a subtle reference of the Tarakava with the arms. Anyways i hope you enjoy these builds!
After six months of building I finalized my first large scale US truck. As the K100 is one of my favorite trucks I wanted to have such in my collection. I disassembled my old Scania 141 tow trucks and used the bodywork and Holmes 750 for the KW. Fitted with an underlift it make the truck even more versatile. Quite some parts of the model are chrome which my mate Bricksonwheels supplied me. I had to use a lot of unconventional building techniques to get the cab into the right shape. Turning pieces upside down, building things off set etc. and without glueing anything. I already typed the full story for this model on my website.
