Deckard-Cain (Human / The Last Horadrim)
After recently watching Ridley Scott's classic sci-fi thriller Blade Runner, I decided to build the flying police car, also known as the "Spinner." My MOC features opening scissor doors, interior for two minifigures, floor windows and lights, and custom decals. An aspect that I wanted to do before planning the moc was to try to make the rear bumper entirely SNOT, forming the caution stripe.
Ha, just as I was getting ready to upload the pics of my improved Spinner, I got a mail from the Cuusoo team informing me that my Spinner project has been deleted. Apparently it "refers to a brand or licensed property that contains content or themes that do not fit the LEGO Group's standards for appropriate content".
True, I admit, but it was worth a shot. So thank you all who gave my Spinner your support and hope you like these pictures.
And as much as I understand TLC's need to clean the house, I can't help but wonder just how many great ideas for a new fire truck will come of it? They want new and original ideas for existing non-licensed themes, yet people bombard them with zombies and master chiefs. Yes, cool city creations would be nice, but how likely are they to reach 10K?
Hey, how about a flying police car ; )
BLADE RUNNER Police Spinner Take Off
This is an improved version of the MOC that was previously featured in The Brothers Brick and Brick Journal.
In order to represent the rain-wet ground, the base was reassembled by knocking down the stacked bricks.

(In reference to the Spinner model:
This model contains official, blinking LEGO lights - you can view a slideshow with the complete set of photographs, video and music by Vangelis here!
This is my version of the ever-popular Syd Mead designed futuristic aerodyne that is the Spinner, from the sci-fi classic Blade Runner. I wanted to make it as accurate as possible while deviating from the palette of elements I'm comfortable building with; therefore, the forward wheel housing is built with TECHNIC figure helmets, and the back contains four working, blinking, official LEGO lights!
You can also view the complete set of photographs at Brickshelf once moderated.)
The LEGO diorama "Police Spinner Takeoff" from "BLADE RUNNER" was fully lit up with LEDs.
Seven patrol lights installed on the top of the Police Spinner incorporate two microchip LED lights each, which blink at different times to give the appearance of rotating lights.
By using 1.6mm x 0.8mm chip LED lights and ultra-thin cables, I was able to incorporate 38 lights by simply sandwiching them between parts without cutting them (with very small gaps).
A bundle of cables runs from the right rear tire area through a gap in the smoke and under the base.
In addition to the Police Spinner, even the VIDPHON, Parking Meters and lanterns were lit up. Also, the stoves in the stalls were flickering.

American film actor Harrison Ford (1942) specialises in roles of cynical, world-weary heroes in popular film series. He played Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise, archaeologist Indiana Jones in a series of four adventure films, Rick Deckard in the Science Fiction films Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017), and secret agent Jack Ryan in the spy thrillers Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). These film roles have made him one of the most successful stars in Hollywood. In all, his films have grossed about $5.4 billion in the United States and $9.3 billion worldwide.
Harrison Ford was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1942. His parents were former radio actress Dorothy (née Nidelman) and advertising executive and former actor John William "Christopher" Ford. Harrison graduated in 1960 from Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois. His voice was the first student voice broadcast on his high school's new radio station, WMTH, and he was its first sportscaster during his senior year. He attended Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin, where he was a philosophy major and did some acting. After dropping out of college, he first wanted to work as a DJ in radio and left for California to work at a large national radio station. He was unable to find work and, in order to make a living, he accepted a job as a carpenter. Another part-time job was auditioning, where he had to read out lines that the opposing actor would say to an actor auditioning for a particular role. Harrison did this so well that he was advised to take up acting. He was also briefly a roadie for the rock group The Doors. From 1964, Ford regularly played bit roles in films. He was finally credited as "Harrison J. Ford" in the Western A Time for Killing (Phil Karlson, 1967), starring Glenn Ford, George Hamilton, and Inger Stevens. The "J" did not stand for anything since he has no middle name but was added to avoid confusion with a silent film actor named Harrison Ford, who appeared in more than 80 films between 1915 and 1932 and died in 1957. French filmmaker Jacques Demy chose Ford for the lead role of his first American film, Model Shop (1969), but the head of Columbia Pictures thought Ford had "no future" in the film business and told Demy to hire a more experienced actor. The part eventually went to Gary Lockwood. He had an uncredited, non-speaking role in Michelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point (1970) as an arrested student protester. His first major role was in the coming-of-age comedy American Graffiti (George Lucas, 1973). Ford became friends with the directors George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, and he made a number of films with them. In 1974, he acted in The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) starring Gene Hackman, and played an army officer named "G. Lucas" in Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979, co-produced by George Lucas. Ford made his breakthrough as Han Solo in Lucas's epic space opera Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope (George Lucas, 1977). Star Wars became one of the most successful and groundbreaking films of all time and brought Ford, and his co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, widespread recognition. He reprised the role in four sequels over the course of the next 42 years: Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Irvin Kershner, 1980), Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (Richard Marquand, 1983), Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (J. J. Abrams, 2015), and Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (J.J. Abrams, 2019).
Harrison Ford also worked with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg on the successful Indiana Jones adventure series playing the heroic, globe-trotting archaeologist Indiana Jones. The series started with the action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg, 1981). Like Star Wars, the film was massively successful and became the highest-grossing film of the year. Ford went on to reprise the role throughout the rest of the decade in the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Steven Spielberg, 1984), and the sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Steven Spielberg, 1989), which co-starred Sean Connery as Indy's father, Henry Jones Sr. and River Phoenix as young Indiana. In between the successful film series, Ford also played very daring roles in more artistic films. He played the role of a lonely depressed detective in the Sci-Fi film Blade Runner, (Ridley Scott, 1981) opposite Rutger Hauer. While not initially a success, Blade Runner went on to become a cult classic and one of Ford's most highly regarded films. Ford received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for the crime drama Witness (Peter Weir, 1985) with Kelly McGillis, and also starred for Weir as a house-father in the survival drama The Mosquito Coast (Peter Weir, 1986) with River Phoenix as his son. In 1988, he played a desperate man searching for his kidnapped wife in Roman Polanski's Frantic. For his role as a wrongly accused prisoner Dr. Richard Kimble in the action thriller The Fugitive (Andrew Davis, 1993), also starring Tommy Lee Jones, Ford received some of the best reviews of his career. He became the second of five actors to portray Jack Ryan in two films of the film series based on the literary character created by Tom Clancy: the spy thrillers Patriot Games (Phillip Noyce, 1992) and Clear and Present Danger (Phillip Noyce, 1994). He then played the American president in the blockbuster Air Force One (Wolfgang Petersen, 1997) opposite Gary Oldman. Later his success waned somewhat and his films Random Hearts (Sydney Pollack, 1999) and Six Days Seven Nights (Ivan Reitman, 1998) both disappointed at the box office. However, he did play a few special roles, such as an assassin in the supernatural horror-thriller What Lies Beneath (Robert Zemeckis, 2000) opposite Michele Pfeiffer, and a Russian submarine captain in K-19: The Widowmaker (Kathryn Bigelow, 2002) with Liam Neeson. In 2008, he reprised his role as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Steven Spielberg, 2008) with Cate Blanchett. The film received generally positive reviews and was the second highest-grossing film worldwide in 2008. Later Ford accepted more supporting roles, such as in the sports film 42 (Brian Helgeland, 2013) about baseball player Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman), the first black athlete to play in Major League Baseball. Ford reprised the role of Han Solo in the long-awaited Star Wars sequel Star Wars: The Force Awakens (J.J. Abrams, 2015), which became massively successful like its predecessors. He also reprised his role as Rick Deckard in Blade Runner 2049 (Denis Villeneuve, 2017), co-starring Ryan Gosling. Harrison Ford has been married three times and has four biological children and one adopted child. From 1964 to 1979, Ford was married to Mary Marquardt, a marriage that produced two children. From 1983 to 2003, he was married to Melissa Mathison, from which marriage two more children were born. In 2010, he married actress Calista Flockhart, famous for her role in the TV series Ally McBeal. He owns a ranch in Jackson Hole (Wyoming). Besides being an actor, Ford is also an experienced pilot. Ford survived three plane crashes of planes he piloted himself. The most recent accident occurred in 2015 when he suffered an engine failure with a Ryan PT-22 Recruit and made an emergency landing on a golf course. Among other injuries, Ford sustained a broken pelvis and ankle from this latest accident. In 2003, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

An experimental Nexus-7 replicant created by Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel), Rachael initially believes she is human, having possessed implanted memories belonging to Tyrell’s niece. She falls in love with Blade Runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford).
“Blade Runner” is loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” The film is set in a dystopian future Los Angeles in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bio-engineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work at off-world space colonies. When a fugitive group of advanced replicants led by Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) escapes back to Earth, burnt-out cop Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) reluctantly agrees to hunt them down. [Wikipedia]

Reflections at the Warner Brothers Museum, Burbank, California. There is a lot hidden in this photo. What can you find?
A MOC is never truly finished, there is always a way to improve it.
As I was taking those last pictures of my Spinner, I was thinking of a comment by someone on Cuusoo, how the lights seem to crowd the roof to much. I looked into it and lo and behold, I got it completely wrong! So here is now the updated version with new lights. I am still not 100% satisfied and may refine it still. I also redid the sides, adding a bit more detail. I was able to squeeze in a token wheel too. I will have to redo the back now, perhaps lengthen it by a stud, if i can find an elegant way to do it. Markings are done in PS. I must get me some proper decals.

"Ghost in the Shell - Inner Universe (The Enigma TNG Remix)"
Am I human because I dream?
Or because I have seen things you wouldn’t believe?
Am I human because I can feel?
Or am I human because my tears are real?
Am I human because I can see?
The ominous hand of death approaching me?
Like starships on fire by Orion’s belt,
I play this cruel hand I have been dealt
C-beams on Trannheuser Gate,
All my memories, lost to fate.
These memories are merely stains,
In the fabric of life,
And soon they too will fade away,
Like tears in the rain.
No Deckard I am human not because I dream,
But because I feel the most human emotion of all:
Empathy.
Time to die.

"The Prosecutor comes in with in the next few days, I want all requisite supplies and men prepared to be loaded and to board. She should not be in harbor for more than a night." Lord Stout briskly walked among the supplies in shadow in the old sept as he detailed the departure plans. Constantly glancing at his father's compass as he counted the crates and chests, he found his mind thinking of the sea.
His thoughts were broken by Deckard's booming voice, "Lord, cases of castle forged steel & chests of gems? What sort of battle are we in for? "
Lord Stout slowly looked up and replied, "Not all battles are fought on horse back with a lance. Some are fought with pen and ink, and some with crates of gold and swords. Once all is loaded we will first make our way to Dreadmoor, and then rendezvous with the rest of the fleet . We leave to treat with several rising Outlaw Lords, there they await an audience. "

The latest version of LEGO BLADE RUNNER "Deckard hunts down Zola" displayed at Japan Brickfest 2022 on June 11 and 12.
This is an improved version of the MOC that was previously featured in Brick Journal.
In order to represent the rain-wet ground, the base was reassembled by knocking down the stacked bricks.
In addition, a TOSHIBA neon sign was added, the ATARI neon sign was downsized, the Cowgirl neon sign was greatly improved, and the bottom of the stairs and columns were illuminated.
I plan to further expand this diorama in the future.
This model uses the same... well, everything as my Przewalski's Horse model. I just pulled out some of the unused paper from inside the head to make the horn... I also shaped it a bit differently so it doesn't look as stocky.

Seven patrol lights installed on the top of the Police Spinner incorporate two microchip LED lights each, which blink at different times to give the appearance of rotating lights.
By using 1.6mm x 0.8mm chip LED lights and ultra-thin cables, I was able to incorporate 38 lights by simply sandwiching them between parts without cutting them (with very small gaps).
A bundle of cables runs from the right rear tire area through a gap in the smoke and under the base.
In addition to the Police Spinner, even the VIDPHON, Parking Meters and lanterns were lit up. Also, the stoves in the stalls were flickering.
"No sé por qué me salvó la vida. Quizá en esos últimos momentos amaba la vida más de lo que la había amado nunca, no sólo su vida, la vida de todos, mi vida.

Another micro blaster. This time it's Deckard's pistol from Blade Runner. I've always loved the double barrel/trigger look of this blaster. It took me a while to figure out the handle, especially after using the carrot for Han's blaster. What do you think?

American film actor Harrison Ford (1942) specialises in roles of cynical, world-weary heroes in popular film series. He played Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise, archaeologist Indiana Jones in a series of four adventure films, Rick Deckard in the Science Fiction films Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017), and secret agent Jack Ryan in the spy thrillers Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). These film roles have made him one of the most successful stars in Hollywood. In all, his films have grossed about $5.4 billion in the United States and $9.3 billion worldwide.
Harrison Ford was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1942. His parents were former radio actress Dorothy (née Nidelman) and advertising executive and former actor John William "Christopher" Ford. Harrison graduated in 1960 from Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois. His voice was the first student voice broadcast on his high school's new radio station, WMTH, and he was its first sportscaster during his senior year. He attended Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin, where he was a philosophy major and did some acting. After dropping out of college, he first wanted to work as a DJ in radio and left for California to work at a large national radio station. He was unable to find work and, in order to make a living, he accepted a job as a carpenter. Another part-time job was auditioning, where he had to read out lines that the opposing actor would say to an actor auditioning for a particular role. Harrison did this so well that he was advised to take up acting. He was also briefly a roadie for the rock group The Doors. From 1964, Ford regularly played bit roles in films. He was finally credited as "Harrison J. Ford" in the Western A Time for Killing (Phil Karlson, 1967), starring Glenn Ford, George Hamilton, and Inger Stevens. The "J" did not stand for anything since he has no middle name but was added to avoid confusion with a silent film actor named Harrison Ford, who appeared in more than 80 films between 1915 and 1932 and died in 1957. French filmmaker Jacques Demy chose Ford for the lead role of his first American film, Model Shop (1969), but the head of Columbia Pictures thought Ford had "no future" in the film business and told Demy to hire a more experienced actor. The part eventually went to Gary Lockwood. He had an uncredited, non-speaking role in Michelangelo Antonioni's film Zabriskie Point (1970) as an arrested student protester. His first major role was in the coming-of-age comedy American Graffiti (George Lucas, 1973). Ford became friends with the directors George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, and he made a number of films with them. In 1974, he acted in The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) starring Gene Hackman, and played an army officer named "G. Lucas" in Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979, co-produced by George Lucas. Ford made his breakthrough as Han Solo in Lucas's epic space opera Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope (George Lucas, 1977). Star Wars became one of the most successful and groundbreaking films of all time and brought Ford, and his co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, widespread recognition. He reprised the role in four sequels over the course of the next 42 years: Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Irvin Kershner, 1980), Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (Richard Marquand, 1983), Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (J. J. Abrams, 2015), and Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (J.J. Abrams, 2019).
Harrison Ford also worked with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg on the successful Indiana Jones adventure series playing the heroic, globe-trotting archaeologist Indiana Jones. The series started with the action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg, 1981). Like Star Wars, the film was massively successful and became the highest-grossing film of the year. Ford went on to reprise the role throughout the rest of the decade in the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Steven Spielberg, 1984), and the sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Steven Spielberg, 1989), which co-starred Sean Connery as Indy's father, Henry Jones Sr. and River Phoenix as young Indiana. In between the successful film series, Ford also played very daring roles in more artistic films. He played the role of a lonely depressed detective in the Sci-Fi film Blade Runner, (Ridley Scott, 1981) opposite Rutger Hauer. While not initially a success, Blade Runner went on to become a cult classic and one of Ford's most highly regarded films. Ford received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for the crime drama Witness (Peter Weir, 1985) with Kelly McGillis, and also starred for Weir as a house-father in the survival drama The Mosquito Coast (Peter Weir, 1986) with River Phoenix as his son. In 1988, he played a desperate man searching for his kidnapped wife in Roman Polanski's Frantic. For his role as a wrongly accused prisoner Dr. Richard Kimble in the action thriller The Fugitive (Andrew Davis, 1993), also starring Tommy Lee Jones, Ford received some of the best reviews of his career. He became the second of five actors to portray Jack Ryan in two films of the film series based on the literary character created by Tom Clancy: the spy thrillers Patriot Games (Phillip Noyce, 1992) and Clear and Present Danger (Phillip Noyce, 1994). He then played the American president in the blockbuster Air Force One (Wolfgang Petersen, 1997) opposite Gary Oldman. Later his success waned somewhat and his films Random Hearts (Sydney Pollack, 1999) and Six Days Seven Nights (Ivan Reitman, 1998) both disappointed at the box office.

In 2008, he reprised his role as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Steven Spielberg, 2008) with Cate Blanchett. The film received generally positive reviews and was the second highest-grossing film worldwide in 2008.

Cyberpunk is one of my favourite themes to build in, being such a versatile field in which creativity is key. This build took about three weeks to fully make and finish, and is one of my favourite builds of all. Here are photos showcasing:
- The overall build
- A market stall using old fabric
- A police drone and side-on view of the street
- A perspective shot from between the market stall and tree in the left.
