Kairos; The Overseer. The deity of time. A being whose sole purpose is to make beings of other worlds interact. To create small pocket universes that house copied species and persons from other worlds into his own. He starts by creating a standard world filled with lush green environments, then gazing upon a lists of planets, star systems, universe, choosing what he deems to be the most interesting. If he finds a person of interest or a species, he copies that being from that exact moment to prevent altering timelines. He creates an exact copy, without the copy realizing it, and puts them on his planet. Dozens, hundreds, thousands, he keeps adding until the planet can no longer sustain itself or he gets bored with his progress. If the fate of the world becomes the latter, he descends down to a lower plain of existence to personally exterminate what he had created with is massive hammers. The hammers are used to create his worlds and are used for their destruction, as well.
His personality is a patient one. He takes his time searching through worlds to see what can make his own more interesting. Like a chef rummaging his cupboards for the right spice or ingredient. When the selected being is copied, they perceive the copy as an otherworldly event that knocks them out, to then be awaken in the new world, without question. Kairos chose those who would be friendly at first, then adds conflict to his world to watch it crumbles. His goal is to study interactions of other beings, and report back to his commander, Lady Void. Kairos is seen as more-or-less an outcast among his kind. He acts like a god for the powers he possesses and gives him an ego that is unfitting for his race. Due to his dimension-hopping, he is hard to pinpoint, making his actions under the radar and dangerous to Lady Void. The Migrator is currently in pursuit of this being, and will be put to death once found.

A select few frames from my latest episode. Each episode is a lot of work, but worth it and loads of fun.
The Three Little Pigs decided to become pirates! They rebuild their houses of straw, wood and bricks on a big ship and even captured the wolf and are making him walk the plank.

The Chevy II (commonly known as Nova) served as the economy car in Chevrolet's lineup in the 60's and 70's. It was available in coupe, sedan, four door, convertible and, as pictured here, station wagon body styles. Powertrain wise it was available with either a 4cylinder, 6 cylinder or V8. Most were optioned with the 6 cylinder.

The second part of my Nerdvember prize arrived and it contained both a Stormtrooper alarm clock and a watch! Big thanks to ClicTime and Bricknerd for these great gifts. Hopefully the time display on this stormtrooper is more accurate than his aim. :D

BrickNerd turns one year old today! Thanks to everyone who visits regularly, a website without visitors is like a MOC without studs...wait, that's a terrible analogy...ummm...
Continuing their annual series, LEGO has issued the Year of the Rabbit 40575. I thought it might be nice to change things up a bit and do a music video of the build. Filmed by my son Alex, and the background score, The Shape of Things to Come, by Bear McCreary from the BSG soundtrack, of course.
As seen on BrickNerd.
Built... ahem, I mean five pieces put together for the "Pimp My Nerdly" contest on BrickNerd.
I guess I'm running out of ideas here... but I like his sort of "brooding look".
On a side note, I'm glad this contest is almost over... I dreamt of Nerdlies last night.

The Imperial Lion Fortress run by the Lion soldiers is a busy port for storing cargo and prisoners.
This MOC took lots of inspiration from the classic pirates line and I even tried mimicking the brick wall design.
This LEGO MOC was made for the PiRATS and BUGaneers contest by BrickNerd.

My entry for the Bricknerd Nerdvember contest. Because Marvin the Martian is my favorite cartoon character.
Toa best beware this scurvy crew of rogues.
My entry for the Bricknerd piRATs and Bug-aneers contest.
For my crew I decided to use some of the minifigs from the Bionicle brick built sets and make an island setting reminiscent of the ones from the original Bionicle storyline. I had a lot of fun building the rocks and adding plant life to this moc, as well as giving all of the pirates accessories and weapons. My favorite parts are the Bionicle masks set in the rock formations.
This contest was a good challenge and a lot of fun!

The theme for this year is animation. My MOC pays homage to Steamboat Willie, arguably one of the most pivotal moments in animation history.
Steamboat Nerdly was built in gray scale (except the star). The entire photo was converted to black and white to be consistent with the original animation.
I had so much fun with the storytelling for this build! Fabuland animal pirates wanted by the Imperial Bulldog Police. I submit this hideout vignette to the Bricknerd piRATs and BUGaneers Contest.

Ahh, time for the annual reckoning and trumpet blowing! Real life got in the way again this year, but I managed to scrape together a decent number of builds. This year it really started to dawn on me that its all the things you do around LEGO, beyond just building, that keep the hobby fun, especially stuff that you get to do with other people.
--- BUILDS ---
• My Flickr photostream reached 2 million lifetime views! Thanks in large part to the virality of my Twerking Miley Cyrus build, which recieved broad media coverage. Which basically makes me a giant LEGO whore now.
• Space Kraken: Achievement unlocked! This build took me way outside my comfort zone, taking 3 months to complete (followed by 1 month of burnout). The beasty now stands guard from a permanent display case in the lobby of Tableau software in Seattle.
• Beth & Catbug were featured on the Bravest Warriors home page and even tweeted by one of the show's animators. They also got to meet up with LEGO versions of Chris and Impossibear at BrickCon, built my one of my new fave builders Lego Junkie.
• Grumpy Cat also achieved some virality, even popping up on LEGO's facebook page. Which was awful :-)
• Brothers Brick continues to very kindly blog my work. I'm about 40 lifetime posts in at this point. Guess those BrickCon blackmail photos are really paying off!
--- VIDEOS ---
• Oddly for a LEGO builder, this year seemed to be all about video for me. And in fact I see this medium being a large component of my LEGO life going forward. I made five LEGO related videos this year, of varying lengths.
• 50 Shades of Bley documented the brick dying technic I used on Gollum last year, and hopefully the humor I infused made it slightly more tolerable to watch that my earlier video about Building Bilbo Baggins.
• AFAIL was my penance for the success of my Miley Cyrus build. Everyone should smash their LEGO creations from time to time, its very carthartic!
• Precioustration represented my annual reminder to the community about BrickCon. People seemed to like it. But probably not because of my mediochre voice acting.
• Tommy very kindly asked me to provide a voiceover for an episode of his fab new BrickNerd web show. More voice acting! Plus the trauma of having to recite the Ewok song!
• Joshua and Matthew of Beyond the Brick interviewed me for one of their episodes. By my count that makes 5 builders from SeaLUG that have appeared on the show! It was a really fun experience, and I loved their reactions to my LEGO versions of them.
• I'm going to be in a movie about LEGO! The documentary comes out in theaters early next year, and features a segment on builders. The film crew came to BrickCon and followed a bunch of us around. They also spent half a day shooting at my house in my tiny LEGO workspace. I was a really fun but also really bizarre experience.
--- OTHER ---
• Mike Doyle included a chapter on my work in his book Beautiful Lego, which I think is one of the most interesting books about LEGO that has ever been made. Go get it! Bizarrely, I also got a mention in FineClonier's new book about minifig customization. I know, the irony, right?
• SeaLUG pulled off another great display at Emerald City ComicCon. And I did another Wil Wheaton build for it! Except this time Wheaton does not come off all that well. Yep, it was a revenge build. Did I mention that SeaLUG is the best LUG ever?
• Tommy twisted my arm to enter his Pimp My Nerdly contest, and although I freely admit I phoned it in, I somehow still placed! And the nerdly chest burster was kind of a fun build in the end - I love doing stuff that is simulateously shocking and funny.
• As always, BrickCon was the highlight of my LEGO year. Bricks of Character was a roaring success again, bigger than ever in fact. So many great builds this year. I also attempted to bring back the Con tradition of invasions. Plus there were all the usual fun and games, including the drunk build. All my LEGO pals were there too, and I got to meet a bunch of really talented builders I've started following. But it was also time to say a sad goodbye...
• This year I have been priveleged to be the keeper of Miniland Gary. I don't get about much, but was able to take him to visit kangaroos in Australia, walk the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and even shipped him off for a brief tour of New Zealand! But in October, the time came to pass him to a new owner. That honor was bestowed on Pascal, and I took the stage at BrickCon to give Gary a proper send-off (and practice my stand-up). Thus Gary now begins his European tour, but hopefully will be back next year as the new official mascot of BrickCon, where he will once again change hands.
Thankyou all for viewing, and watching, my work this year. I'm hoping next year is gonna be a turnaround year. I have more time on my hands now, and some much bigger projects planned. And I'm kinda looking forward to seeing how that movie turns out... I think!

My first ever entry for the Nerdvember contest!
I staged an excerpt from the comic book The Amazing Spider-Man # 33 (1966), when Spider-Man uses all his strength and lifts the collapsed structure under which he is trapped, just to get to the ISO-36 serum and save his aunt.
Great competition, I enjoyed the build.

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!

You know the box car craze? Me either, one of these passes by and you don't even bat an eye no matter what goofy mod they've done to it. My entry to the Festival of Mudanity
I know Tommy isn't much of a Transformers nerd but I am. So here I present Nerdlyus Prime. My entry for Bricknerd's Next Level Nerdly Competition.
When I read about the contest the words “insane transforming capability” jumped at me and I knew what I would do. Neardly is mostly a red box with glas windows in front. Not so far from a red flat nose truck.
I didn't do any detailed plan on paper this time. I just started from the original nerdly instruction and modified it as I thought necessary. I mean, how hard could it be to make a G1 Optimus? :)
Fore those interested I can tell that Nerdlyus Prime differs somewhat from G1 Optimus Prime.
Fist of all the head was made to lock nerdy. You be the judge on how it turned out.
An early problem was that Nerdly's glasses stick out so mush so I made a different shoulder transformation (180° instead of 90°) and it worked because I didn't use any smokestacks.
I left the front wheels at the arms. I think I have seen that solution before but I have also seen fan art with the wheels on the arms.
Like my Optimus the fuel tanks become the upper legs. The legs also rotates individually rather than the whole hip (but the original didn't rotate at all). This also separate the legs a little. (I use a similar trick on my Optimus)
