With the new decade also came a new series of procurement orders from the army and air service. In a stunning defeat, the procurement board selected upstart firm: Avilov's entry, marking the first time the state firm, Ishkov had lost a bid. Suffice it to say, Avilov's offices were raided by unkown gunmen only a week afterward.

Some people call us marauders, scavengers. That’s close to the truth. It’s our job. Sometimes space ships break. And they can’t always be repaired. Too much damage. Too far from inhabited systems. We are looking for abandoned starships and disassemble them. Even if the ship exploded, there are still some valuable parts that can be sold. But they explode very rarely. Usually ships die because of malfunction of couple of systems. The other ones stay undamaged. We cut out the most valuable parts. It’s impossible to take everything we want. Just those things that can fit into the hold and external containers. So the profit isn’t very big. And do not forget about risks. Abandoned ship is a dangerous place. Something unexpected can happen anytime. So, why do we do it? Because someone has to take back those resources. Miners dug ore. Than the metal was made. Electronics. The ship was assembled. We just trying to make this work not worthless if the ship dies. And get some money.
Some guys call it the 'S-Cargo'
Even though it has no storage space...
So Meta.

Ready to enter 2021?
2020 has been an amazing year regarding my LEGO builds. Beginning of this year, I took part on my very first exhibition (LEGO World 2020 in Copenhagen) where I had the chance to display two of my BIG (Bjarke Ingels) MOC's. Also, I've got 2 projects on LEGO Ideas who reached 10k in only a few weeks! On March I've opened up my instagram account and after less than a year more than 5 000 peole followed this account! That's is completely insane, so many thanks for all your support! And I'm sure 2021 will be also very productive. I wish you all a happy new year, see you in 2021 ;)
Where we're going, we don't need roads.
Oh wait.
Yes Roy.
You'll have to wait.

Well that all got a bit out of hand. especially the melt-ray to glue down the macadam sections and the green laser spirit levels.
Something a little more sober tomorrow I think.

A small, light and handy personal transport. This vehicle had good springs for traversing tricky terrain. It proved to be popular and useful: a new direction for the Vehicle Design Department of Llwyngwril Systems.

The model is held up by one of these, cunningly hidden behind the tyre: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729#T=C I know it's LDD but leaving it floating seemed like cheating!
October is the Month of Jungle, so after Tahu's display base built for the Month of Fire, I've decided to build a display base for Lewa (although it might be too small for Lewa and more appropriate for a Protector).
My first entry for the Unleash your own genetically modified hybrid dinosaur! contest on LEGO IDEAS.
It's (obviously), an hybrid between the ankylosaurus (actually my ankylosaurus) and the triceratops. You can see the 3D model on Mecabricks.
The base was inspired by the Irregular SNOT Base Tutorial by -soccerkid6.
7419: Dragon fortress
The wait is finally over. And the Orient Expedition comes to an end.
Dragon Fortress was probably one of the most complex builds in terms of detailing. The structure itself is relatively simple.
The main inspiration came from the Tuancheng Fortress in terms of the base and style. Using a lot of the architecture and colours to make the dragon fortress.
I so wished mecabricks had the printed tiles from the Chinese New year sets. It would have added the perfect amount of detail around the columns.
I ditched the colours of the original set and added more greens, blues and gold. Which is more real world accurate.
The interior is somewhat detailed. The main hall features two vases and a mysterious jade chest.
Up above sits the armoury, where the golden helmet sits.
I did include the wheelhouses in this revamp. The unlocking feature is different to the original. It's just two latches that move when you rotate the wheels and then take the statue section out.
Speaking of statues, the guardian is indeed a terracotta warrior (a little real world reference there).
And after unlocking the doors we finally get to see the golden dragon. Originally I had made a smaller version that used the same head as this one. But it was a bit too skinny, so I made a slightly larger version that fits in there if you move the tail in.
The golden dragon of course had to be a Chinese dragon design. There's a lot of mixel joints involved but I think it turned out well. Speaking of gold I actually switched to the metallic gold colour for this set as it looks a lot more vibrant than the pearl gold.
The half track is a hybrid of a few of my old expedition vehicles. In a nice dark green.
And that truly is the end of the Adventurers revamp series. I'm glad to see it's had such positive feedback and I hope this final set did not disappoint
5934: Dino explorer
I know I said I was talking a break before starting Dino island. But I was tinkering with a few designs and ended up revamping the Dino explorer set.
My original version back in 2019 was a bit small. And I felt the design needed to be beefed up a bit more, so I made an entirely different base for the tracks, tweaked and repurposed the car design from the mummy's tomb set and made a far better version of the Dino explorer. It's pretty dieselpunk in design.
The Pterodactyl design has also been tweaked. The original version I made used sail pieces for the wings. But they were pretty awkward looking because you can't really manipulate them in mecabricks, just merge them onto other parts.
This one uses plates to make up the wings, and they do a fairly decent enough job.
The palm tree makes another guest appearance. And will probably never leave my 'useful flora' files 😂

Karl was waiting for Lottie over by the Tranquil Sea.
What would she make of his new ride?

This plopped out nearly fully formed after playing around with those weird vertical bracket/wheel-arch pieces.
Pretty pleased with how things have resolved.
Don't hate on me for the extended welding pipe!

Warm-up build for the impending SHIPtember. Not sure if I'll be able to find time for the event proper, but still nice to grind some rust off the gears.
Unlike the Landblaster bomber fleet (now entering its 53rd year of service (after being warped back in time from the 1990s), the Nariz torpedo bomber was beginning to show its age at the dawn of the 40s. Circo-Volador set about designing a worthy replacement for the veteran aircraft, keeping the same design principles of heavyset construction, good visibility, and really weird aerodynamics.
it's not a typo
Please click here to vote for Gizmo to be made into an official LEGO set.
If you haven't heard yet, a Gizmo minifigure will be included in LEGO Dimensions year 2. LEGO Dimensions Year 2 E3 trailer. Now is a better time than ever for this project to be made into a reality.
The renders turned out pretty photorealistic for this thanks to mecabricks.com and an awesome tutorial by Scrubs here.

there u go, my first post about nwh.
when i saw that they aded the new cloak of levitation at mecabricks i stoped the other wips just to do it.
After rendering some images with the free version of the new Mecabricks Render Farm, I was really curious how the other great features - like the scratches on the bricks, uneven flatness, vignette effect, depth of field, etc. - work, so I bought some credits on Mecabricks.
...aaaand: I must say you should really consider buying credits too, so you can use these fantastic settings too! :) You won't regret it! --> mecabricks.com/en/credits

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came wiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
This is my entry to the contest on Bricker.ru. The goal of the contest was to design a fantastic beast that could exist in the world of Harry Potter. I've chosen the classic J. Tenniel's illustration as a prototype, and made a dragon-insect hybrid, created by 19th century British wizard.
The model itself was made in the beginning of this year, but contest rules don't allow to reveal MOC authorship before the results are available to the public.
Unfortunately, the Jabberwock didn't make it to the top-5... but I'm still happy with the model. ^_^
Just another crazy idea I got with this lego microscale! Hope you like it ;)

I used Studio+Mecabricks+Blender to render the photo, and after searching through many articles and tutorial videos online, I finally managed to export the image. This is also the first time I've posted a photo of a non-real Lego creation that I've taken, and maybe in the future, I can use this method more to create more MOCs :)

Actioncharles created this wonderful Corgiball model on Mecabricks that screamed “render me.” So I did.
I was playing around with the FOV options in Blender. It’s subtle and could use a bit more blur.

This sculpture was built for the Create ART to be enjoyed by all! contest on LEGO IDEAS.

is a reimagining of the classic 6276 Eldorado Fortress. I had to rush to finish it, thus some aspects are not as well worked out as I'd like them to be. I may edit it and publish some new images sometime in the future.
With mecabricks now allowing you the option to change the colours on minifigure elements it seemed like the perfect time to try and redesign my Micah figure. It would still look a million times better with a Chima minifigure head, but you've got to work with what you have unfortunately...

Star Wars vehicle concept of a monowheel with mounted podracer engines
My first build for the Speed Champions 2323 collab.
The McLaren Solus from the Speed Champions set 76918 has such a crazy look that it almost looks more like a spaceship than a car. That's what inspired the Speed Champions 2323 collab.
The goal is to reuse some of the new Speed Champions pieces in a racing ship, so I took some parts from the Solus (the windscreen, the new wedges 3388 and 3389, the new modified plate 3386 (in the engines)) to build this spaceship.
I had a rough idea of what the model would look like, but didn't have the parts, so, as often, I first designed the engines with Mecabricks (thankfully they were strong enough once built physically). Then I've built a cockpit prototype with some parts I had and used stud.io to finish the cockpit and design the stand. I knew I wanted to link the cockpit and the engine with a truss structure, but my first idea was a bit more simple, with only three links on each side of the cockpit, and more fragile.
Thanks to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/thibaut_piruk/] for the edit.

I built this TIE a couple years ago as part of a Christmas contest, so I went back, recolored it, and made a hangar diorama for it. Enjoy!
Man your stations!
The Blacktron fleet needs plenty of fuel to maintain operations and stay one step ahead of the Space Police! Production is in full swing with the rotating central drum, rail system for moving full canisters, a robotic arm crane, defense turrets, crew quarters, vehicle storage and more! A Ghostrunner class fighter even stopped for fuel on the landing pad. If the Space Police Show up, deploy the speeder from the side hanger and activate the defense droid!
This build has been an idea of mine for a while and this gave me the perfect opportunity to bring it all together, complete with many of the features I loved in bases growing up with all of the moving doors and vehicle integrations. The build consists of 1743 pieces. This was my entry to the Lego Ideas Space Celebration, after I originally conceived the idea way back during a Color it Blacktron Contest.

Ngl, I wasn't really intending on doing these all in a row, I was hoping I'd have something else to upload between parts. Oh well. Tried something new for this part, making a filter in Mecabricks. Worked...as well as I could get it. So here's part 4.
Hours passed since the scientists had ceased their study. Then days, then weeks. During this time, the travel machine had begun to slowly re-awaken the Dalek creature from its slumber, slowly it became more conscious of its surroundings.
It had been confined without any interaction for a month, completely alone. Left to die once the scientists were done with it. Discarded, forgotten. After the torture it had endured from its captors it had simply been left alone, Its armour no longer interesting, the mystery of what lay within no longer enticing.
But now fully awakened, the Dalek creature came to understand the horror of what had been done to it. The travel casing replayed events, showing the Dalek what had been done to it, what it had been protected from. The shameful position it had been put in, the insulting manner in which it had been treated, no more.
Slowly, the travel machine was re-activated. The blue eye at the end of the stalk protruding from the dome began to flicker open, showing the Dalek its surroundings, shrouded in the blue hue of the lens. The plunger arm twitched back to life, weaponry came back online.
Before the Dalek was a door, locked. The travel machines analysis gave its structure as re-enforced steel, five Earth inches thick. It was sealed with a simple 4 digit security code.
Childs play for a Dalek.
And that's the end of part 4. Hope you enjoyed it, and as always, please lemme know what you think.
Lovingly based on the excellent Rogue One concept art. There are too many influences to link here but the main ones were this and this. I have no idea how long those links will remain active...
Many of the concepts that were closest to the final movie design featured this bow-cockpit hanging below the wings and in line with the cabin. I like this shape in general but I can see why the design team moved away from it towards the dorsal cockpit above the wings and cabin. For one things, the final design seems to take closely from the H-19 Chickasaw in that regard and this stays true to the Star Wars design tenets of using existing aircraft. A front mounted cockpit is fun but it kind of gets blended from almost every other helicopter. The dorsal intake was originally going to be smaller but I could not decide how to approach the shape. I finally tried this large shape and thought it looked fantastic. One of the concepts featured a bubble gunner\'s cupula out the back but I thought it looked ugly. I kept the guns though and was going to add a cupula up top but that was replaced with an access hatch. The engine intakes were going to be just the flag/sign parts and the large wheels but then I remembered this WIP by Jake RF and its awesome use of the newish half-cones.
The cabin base is heavily modified (internally at least) off of Inthert\'s U-Wing Instructions. I actually followed them all the way through (digitally of course) and learned a TON. The build employs a number of interesting techniques and highlights the minimum-attachment methods. This would be a fun build for anyone with access to real bricks, but it should be a required build for anyone into digital Lego. It turns out that all aside from 10 or so parts, the entire thing can be built in one section in LDD (i.e. even with all of the crazy shapes, the techniques are within tolerances).
This ship does not feature any large moving sections like the movie version or like the Rebel Transport by -majortom- (also a large source of inspiration although the different sizes made it difficult to "tastefully plagerize" too many details) but still features retractable landing legs, sliding doors, aft guns, and collapsable seating. The colors were the hardest choices to make. Most decent combinations did not offer enough parts to fill gaps. I still think the yellow-on-tan is a bit low on contrast but the original dark red wasn\'t available and normal red looked garish.
Finally, these renders are not the best, I know. However, they took long enough to make so they will suffice. The cockpit interior shows why it is not a good idea to set "scratches" to 40%...
Finally (pt. 2), a big Thank You to mecabricks for helping me with scaling material issues. I had to make the 3x3 quarter-circle brick w/ bow part myself as it wasn\'t in the library of parts. It wasn\'t too difficult to model but I had required some assistance to get the materials working.
