An alternative build for set #31133 White Rabbit. I had originally done a sort of rabbit-themed robot/mech, but I wasn't really that happy with it. Then I realised that the parts that are used as the rabbit's feet in the main build would be perfect to create the beautiful fluffy wings of a swan (specifically a Mute Swan), so here we are!
I may do some instructions at some point.
Editor's note: I removed the legs for "swim mode".
Optimus Prime enters the LEGO City
(Never thought I’d get to write that!)
This build is very solid, hefty, and impressive in scale and detail. The range of articulation is better than I imagined and the model is incredibly faithful to the G1 Optimus Prime toy from mid-80s and cartoon. (You can watch the original episodes on HasbroPulse’s YT channel- I did while putting this together)
My only problem with this kit is that the leg stickers are upside-down when compared to the OG cartoon. That’s not a knock on the actual design and build, I assume a marketing error.
Simple fix: flip the 2x6 tiles around.
Took some busy shots with other large red mechs for scale. LEGO continues to improve on its mechs’ quality.
If you’ve seen what I post, I focus on LEGO and Hasbro Marvel products. The Transformers line now checks the box for LEGO, Hasbro, and Marvel! Too cool; when do you think the planet Cybertron will enter the MCU? Will Death’s Head show up in a future GotG?

"There must be hundreds of them!"
I decided to revamp a Sentry as a counterpart to my 'Mk. 2' Uplink. This upgraded version is bigger and tougher than the original, with swappable weapons modules to mount between the shoulders. I couldn't find a neat way to include control sticks at the front, so I'm just imagining that the Iron Drone piloting the machine is connected and can control it wirelessly.
Bring back Exo-Force!
For 4/13, the 5th anniversary of the comic Homestuck, I made a Nakodile, complete with a pair of Dave's iShades!
If you're thinking "ok that makes no sense" go read the comic. It is really fantastic!
Creation is at the heart of what we do, without it, we might as well be dead. For there would be nothing new, change would be a foreign concept. We would whither, die, rot, and fade into antiquity. Creation is the triumph of order over chaos, sanity over madness, light over darkness, and life over death.
~Gahmaneshu
Initially created for the #Pantheonofelements collab, I took the element of Creation. Gahmaneshu is inspired by Hindu gods, his name is an amalgamation of Brahma, Ganesh, and Vishnu, all major deities in the Hindu pantheon.

LEGO Aquazone Stingrays Arrampicatore del Mare - Set 6140
legozan.net/2019/11/13/lego-system-aquazone-stingrays-arr...
These have 7xLEGO and only one stud with a letter.
They are of the same plastic as the Minitalia bricks.
Also the bottom design is the same as tubed Minitalia bricks in all bricks.
Makes you wonder if these were prototype Minitalia bricks....
The pip is on the letter stud, most bricks do not have pat.pend
(After)life ain't easy for a skeleton, but the wizard is happy enough in his little hut on the hill. He's got his cauldron, he's got his frog, and he's far enough away from the nearest village that his experiments in technomancy (usually) don't affect anyone else.
Something a bit different for me; I don't usually do buildings, but I had the idea for this a while ago, and if I want to stand any chance of getting back into LEGO as a designer, then I need to push my boundaries and build outside my comfort zone. I think it came out not too bad, and it's certainly an improvement over previous attempts at minifig-scale buildings.
Far more deadly than its namesake, the Manta is a fast, powerful and highly-maneuverable fighter craft that forms the backbone of the Blacktron fleet. This ship is built around a tough, solid core that provides optimum pilot protection, and power comes from the same units found in the Fantail escape craft; however, they are tuned slightly differently to provide better efficiency and comfort for regular flight, rather than the urgency of fleeing a battle ASAP.
Offensive capabilites are provided by a battery of laser cannon: two fixed guns in front of the cockpit, and two rotating guns mounted at the wings. These rotating units can be programmed to lock on to targets, which is especially useful in intense battle situations.
You don't want to get caught by this ray's sting!
Embark on a magical, relaxed journey around the galaxy aboard the Fiordland, a Penguin-class starliner. Offering stunning views, refined, comfortable travel, and plenty of on-board entertainment and amenities, a starcruise on a Penguin-class ship is sure to be an adventure you'll never forget.
Built at LEGO House in Billund!
Part of my 2x4 brick collection.
This part became to big for my normal frames, so I had to find a new way to store and display these.
All bricks in this picture are marbled, some VERY nice, others only upon close inspection.
The best par about marbled bricks is how nice they are, but I love seeing how the plastic flows through the brick.
This flow is made visible by the two colors.
Also, notice how modern marbled bricks display only two colors, while slotted often containd many different colors.
This has to do with the manufactoring, now, these color flush bricks come inbetween a color change.
Being wrong, these bricks are discarded.
Slotted bricks were made with loose granulate, much more was spilled.
These granulate (expensive) got sweeped up and was used to make B-quality bricks sold for less than the uni-colored bricks....
Also a lot of trees and bushes were made with this mix of colors, they got painted over anyway.
Even a few baseplates (10x20 brick) have been found in marble.
These are drawers with 48x48 baseplates cut to size.

I finally took a vacation and made time to organize the shelves. And the train can run between them!

NeoClassic Space popping up in the Monkie Kid theme with Chang’e Moon Cake Factory
With the build-up to the release of the Galaxy Explorer 2022, I’m looking back at a few builds over the past year that harken back to Classic Space- NeoClassic Space
I’m not necessarily the demographic for this kit, but the neon transparent elements and color scheme caught my eye for MOC potential. When viewing it through the lens of a medium-sized spaceship from early ‘90s, I can appreciate the set as a compelling plaything.
The Bunny Mech, while not meant for minifigs, carries two intended bunny-pilots or a resting minifig. The butt of the ship can pop off to reveal either an energy fuel container or storage for valuables (if not just a microwave in a strange place).
The ship has interesting shaping, especially with the legs, and that great large dome element. Escape pod box gets checked. Stud-shooters are there to good effect as well.
The side-base, a moon cake factory, build is simplistic but charismatic and effective. There is a conveyor belt that might not be captured by my photos, which looks really good for the few elements used.
Simple carrot-rocket and hover-control station/Live-stream station are simple but effective small builds to add to the play value/storytelling.
A funny medium-sized kit with some good MOC potential. What do you think?

1991’s Aerial Intruder from the Blacktron II fraction enters the LEGO City!
The ‘Big’ ship from a fan favorite (myself decidedly included) sub-theme is actually not all that big compared to the other Space sub-themes’ flagships. This ship checks the majority of my criteria for what made an excellent spaceship play set as a kid!
Great color scheme and cool large transparent elements?
Blacktron 2 has arguably the best + printed large windshield!
Detachable base with usable interior space?
The center of the ship is large when opened and has an aft storage compartment. While tight when loaded with cargo, great when side-builds are deployed
Dropship/Escape Pod?
Two of the best designed simple ships that deploy from the sides, that are also designed to be compatible with the rest of the sub-theme! So simple and genius
And a bonus jetpack element that is classic
Rover?
Two! Yes, super simple, but very standard for the time.
Action features?
The simple rover launch action definitely suffices.
Droid/Robot?
Not for this faction, but I believe that’s because they were outlaws. Correct me if I’m wrong?
Yes, I’m a really big fan of this old spaceship. Any detractors, like having 5 pilot-able options with only two minifigs can be understood with all their buddies they’d have to break from the Space Police II
This Absolute Classic brings me to the conclusion of my look back at some of my favorite LEGO from the ‘90s. I’m sure I’ll do more shoots with these sets in the future, but I’ve got a ton of contemporary sets to showcase for now and a large MOC in progress.
What did you think of this ship? Did you have it? Does it hold up today?

Once Upon a Snow Mine — While out marking territory a saber-toothed tiger happened upon the scent of bunnies and began tracking them for a much needed meal. Unfortunately (though not for the bunnies), at the same time, some Snow Guardians were on their way to collect gold from their mine, and the tiger decided three humans were a much better meal than the three bunnies.
————
I added this saber-toothed tiger to my collection a few months back and had been wanting to make a small moc with him since then, and when the new Snow Guardian minifig in series 22 was revealed I knew exactly what scene I wanted to build. It was fun working in primarily one color (though very hard on my white slope stock lol). The Pick-a-Brick wall at my local LEGO Store also helped a bunch. I think my favorite part of the build turned out to be the smooth fresh snow on the path leading to the mine, disturbed only by the guardians on one side and bunny tracks on the other.

An alternate build of set #31130 Sunken Treasure Mission. When I saw all those lovely Mixel joints I knew I had to build this! I could've tried to be a bit more creative with the sub/shell, but I thought it was already a pretty good shape for a hermit crab shell, so why change it?

This is a color only seen in parts from DUPLO.
From l to r: pearl gold / mustard or curry / bright light orange.
I call it mustard yellow, but some others call it curry:
brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Curry
It comes in part: 3011pb05
(www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3011pb05)
The multiple listings is because people don't know what color to use.
But I believe it also comes in regular yellow.
Be sure to ask for the right color if you want one.
