I made another thing for my RLUG's (Sacramento Brick Builders) monthly build challenge and am posting early. The challenge was either water adventure or tie-fighter. I combined the 2 with my creation of the Tiekranoplan Heavy Assualt. Although digital, this can be completely made in real life with existing elements. Here is my head cannon for the Star Wars spacecraft: The Tiekranoplan Heavy Assault (TK-HA) was designed by the Empire for under-radar/stealth attack runs on well fortified cities specifically located on water worlds. The TK-HA was designed to fly just a few meters above the water with fierce speed powered by 8 forward heavy ion thrusters creating a sudo-ground effect and 8 rear ion engines with relative stealth and the element of surprise against the adversaries of the Empire.
The TK-HA carries 6 long range neutron missiles, 12 proton depth charges, 2 forward facing laser cannons, 2 wing mounted turbo lasers, a rear gunner with actuated quad laser cannons, and a pilot.
Very few have ever discovered this secretive class of Tie-fighters and the few that have, have often referred to them as the "Emperor's Sea Monsters."

Another year, another ship… and a new Digitally Assembled video? Why yes!!
I created 红海 (Hóng Hăi) using the AI tool Midjourney to produce an image to base the design off of.
I worked with my friend and incredible concept artist, Till Freitag, to explore Midjourney and challenge us to create two very unique looking spaceships inspired by Midjourney’s prompt.
Are you curious how we created our designs? Follow the link to check out the video with Till and I on Digitally Assembled: youtu.be/kc8M9Iw9B_0
For those unfamiliar, SHIPtember is an annual LEGO community challenge where a builder must create a spaceship 100+ studs long on the longest axis within 1 months’ time. This is my third SHIPtember. This year was special with the inclusion of Midjourney and collabing with Till. The ship took roughly 62 hrs and was made in Bricklink Studio, Cinema 4D with Arnold, and Photoshop using my Puget Systems machine. Till’s art used Blender and Photoshop.(you can find his version on his and my Instagram page)
Here are my thoughts on my design’s fictional bio:
红海 (Hóng Hăi) is a Chinese deep space radiation research ship launched in the year 3090. It was made by the 太空海军研究会 (The Space Naval Research Society) in 3087 and reached Saturn on May 21st 3090. Its primary mission was to research a strange phenomenon of new unknown forms of radiation occurring near Saturn.
The ship is equipped with a large laser array to study the phenomenon and radiation levels up close. The main “sail” carries billions of sensors to detect various forms of radiation. It hosts a crew of 7 who are well shielded inside the spacecraft when not inside the large rear observation deck. The ship is 632.5 ft tall (192.79 meters). 7 years into its mission findings discovered the unique radiation was caused by The Shell, an alien inter-dimensional artifact discovered by German astronauts in 3093 near Neptune. The purpose of The Shell is yet to be determined but the radiation left in its wake was found to cause disruptions in the fabric of reality wherever it resided. Hóng Hăi’s taikonauts have been recognized for their findings upon return to earth.
The Lego model is 114 studs long (35.8in), 138 studs high (43. 6in), and 87 studs wide (27.3in) and has 7732 pieces.

#buildabetterworldwithlego
I financially give support monthly to an organization called Rapha International that helps young children who are being exploited and trafficked in Cambodia and elsewhere in the world.
Although much of this world has been impacted by the virus, there are still many who are in desparate need of help due to other challenging and unfortunate circumstances. Thankfully there are those who still are working hard to build a better world like those at Rapha International who not only are rescuing children out of bondage but giving them the hope of a new and free life.
If you can help support @raphaintl then please do (go to rapha.org for more info) but I want to encourage all of you builders out there to take this time to build something real or digital that brings light and attention to a cause you believe in and use the hashtag #buildabetterworldwithlego
Let's build a better world together.

My submission for BrickLink Designer Program series 7: Synthwave Sunset
You may recognize my favourite colour palette I've borrowed from Ursa Minor. However, with this design, I'm aiming for synthwave/vaporwave aesthetics.
If you enjoy, please vote!

Version 2. Updated for Bricklink Designer Program Series 5. This is the second and final try.
I've updated the model with a water canon and winch, improved some details, and added a display stand.
"Sometimes a quiet rustling of the leaves spells doom for those who wander the Mystic Forest without the care or respect it is due. A few of the warrior mice of Ardeth within the Mystic Forest have braved death to mount the most posionous creatures of the realm, the poison dart frog, to guard its borders. These brave little ones are not to be dismissed as they are highly skilled archers who tip their arrow heads in the poison of their amphibious rides. Just one shot from these tiny assassins is guarunteed death so tread through the forests very carefully..."
I created a 3rd build for the digital category of Brickscalibur. I started building this at a much larger scale but then opted for a smaller but fun build. Hope you enjoy!
This was created using Bricklink Studio, Cinema 4D and Octane renderer. All made possible with @greyscalegorilla Plugins and @pugetsystems machine.

Space Police Planetary Hammerhead Incident Support Harrier
aka- The Big P.H.I.S.H.
Made for #febrovery this is an ode to my childhood in two ways: One of my favorite sets growing up was the Solar Snooper from the "green" era of Space Police. The other influence was my brother and my favorite non-LEGO toys- the Cobra Hammerhead from G.I.Joe.
This rover reuses the wheels I made for my MTron Gigaton Flux Inductor moc. The P.H.I.S.H. operates on planets with water and is amphibious by nature. When the Aquanauts call for help to deal with pesky Aquasharks the Space Police are there to help with this enforcement vehicle. The vehicle carries two Poseidon Darts, each equipped with 4 torpedoes and a harpoon cannon plus a holding compartment for criminals behind the pilot. There are also two T.U.N.A subs (Tactical Underwater Nautical Attack sub) each carrying two torpedoes.
On the harrier itself are two torpedoes, a rotating dual harpoon cannon, and two dual barrel forward-facing cannons. The vehicle is operated by two drivers, two Poseidon Dart pilots, two T.U.N.A. sub pilots, and an additional enforcement officer.
Hope you like this nostalgic build. It was created using the Greyscalegorilla Plus Plugins, Bricklink Studio, Cinema4D, and Photoshop on a Puget Systems machine. I started this build two days ago and took roughly 8 hrs to make.
"The Monarchs' Liberator - The Tyrant Has Been Vanquished"
"Princess Seraphine faught valiently to free the Monarch Kingdom from the tyrant bird, Screech, who had devoured their people for far too long. After a swift victory there is finally peace once more thanks to this mighty mouse..."
Built for Brickscalibur 2024 for the Digitalibur category. I haven' done as much digital building as I normally do throughout a year so it was nice to work on this project and scene depicting a female warrior mouse who has slain the bird enemy of the Monarch Kingdom and is greeted in peace by one of the butterflies.This was created using Bricklink Studio, Cinema 4D, and took 4 days to complete. All made possible with Greyscalegorilla Plugins and Puget Systems machine.
Designed for the Bricklink Designers Program Series 4. Voting starts February 5!

My initial concept for this model was to create a tugboat that could both fit in with my 1stud:1foot scale ships, but would not look out of place next to some of the larger City boats like 60368 Arctic Explorer Ship. As a result, I chose to build a small harbour tugboat as a compromise between scales.
This was my first time designing a realistic boat model that isn't based on a real world boat. It was an interesting challenge to decide what features to include from a collection of concept images.
The model splits in the middle so it can be displayed as a waterline model - or to be more easily be played with!
The bridge fits two minifigs and has a fully detailed interior. Hiding in the lower hull are a pair of marine diesel engines to power the twin screws.
Model was designed digitally in Stud.io and then prototyped in brick.
Here is my fourth build for the #colorwheelchallenge
This was quite fun and once I figured out a way to attach the shields with a rigid connection the rest came together quite smoothly.
This was built digitally in Bricklink Studio and rendered using Greyscalegorilla plugins and Octane inside Cinema 4D all made possible by a Puget Systems machine.

Last year I created my first digital Lego #colorwheelchallenge. This is my second time taking on this challenge and I decided to do "Bots and Botanicals" for this round. As like last time, each build must be completed within 24 hours including render time.
This build was done in 8.45 hrs.
I will upload the other 7 in the following days and the video for how this was created will be put up on Youtube once I'm done.

Space: Chase for the Brick - I decided to enter the LEGO Ideas contest: "You're the Final Piece" where contestants are to create a picture/art with Lego in 4 categories. I chose space. It was an opportunity for me to try some more techniques in Cinema 4D, Octane, and use the powerful asset engine, Quixel Bridge. This was completed using Bricklink Studio, Mecabricks, Cinema 4D, Greyscale Gorilla Lightkit Pro 3, Octane, Quixel Bridge, and Adobe Photoshop all done on a Puget machine. I hope you like it and I hope it does well in the contest. Go on over to Lego Ideas to check it out!

This was super fun to build digitally!
It started as planning for a facade build for a photoshoot but I got totally sucked into building out the rest because it was just enjoyable to see it take form.
Anyway, I put it up on LEGO Ideas because who knows, this could become real. It's cute and I like how it came out.
