During a brief stint in Washington D.C. in 2023, I spent the better part of a summer evening exploring the grounds of Capitol Hill. Few landscapes invite as much inquiry along winding paths paired with plenty of moments for quiet introspection on marble benches; all in picturesque view of the Capitol dome. These on-site experiences are exactly the form of anecdotal justification I seek when considering whether to recreate such monumental places in the first place.
In tackling any work of such storied precedence as the US Capitol, I always seek to expand the conversation beyond existing works in the medium of plastic bricks. While the consistent 1:650 scale among my works has always ensured some level of originality, it is no guarantee of further insight that cannot already be gleaned from existing works by other artists. With this in mind, I set out to capture the full 100-acre site currently maintained by The Architect of the Capitol. What's more, the diorama depicts a particular time of year - specifically late March to early April - as illustrated by the iconic presence of hundreds of cherry blossoms rendered in two shades of light pink.
The diorama starts downhill at the trapezoidal Capitol Reflecting Pool, with the Grant Memorial taking pride of place along its eastern edge and the US Botanic Garden across the street to the south. The diorama expands from there, capturing the radiating pathways meandering uphill, as designed by Frederick Law Olmsted within the parcels laid out in the city plan by Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The piece culminates with the widely imitated US Capitol Building, perched atop a plinth projecting from the Capitol Visitor Center on the opposite side.
Topping everything off is a custom-made representation of the Statue of Freedom (as designed by Thomas Crawford), steadfastly overlooking the National Mall from atop the dome. The statue was designed in collaboration with BigKidBrix and was sized comparably to the minifigure statuette / trophy element.
The piece was designed over the course of about two months: first in December 2023 through January 2024, paused during the build-out of SPQR - Phase II, then resumed between March and April. The build-out lasted from July through August and was completed by September. The piece will soon be added to my personal gallery of works, now available for touring exhibitions.

This is my moc presented on lego ideas, Below some information on the model.
Welcome in Venezia
The Idea:
I decide to develop a monument of my country, it could be a mix between an architecure model and a creator model. It is an iconic monument of Venice.
The model info:
The model is scaled 1 to 100 to real measure. The span of bridge measure are 28 stud (cm) as the real one. There are twentyfour commercial shop and boutique, all windows and doors are openable and you can see through. I propose a mix between two different type of lego, the first one an architecture model where you can appreciate the structure of the bridge, the second one as a creator model where there are scenes of the daily life in Venice. One gondola and its Gondoliere are surfing the canal. The scale of microfigure shows us how big is the Rialto Bridge.
Data:
Dimension : 50 cm x 40 cm x 24 cm
Microfigure: 1 gondola 9 microfigure
Bottega: 24 commercial shops
The arches of shop are different between internal and external two different tecniques
Thank you very much for your attention!

True Contrite ⚫
360 View of my last post. Hopefully should illuminate a
bit more of the detailing.
The third MOC in my mixel-joint-based miniland plus
series with heavy emphasis on color and emotion. It
was supposed to be the last, but I think I may have 3
more in the works... This one only uses the following
colors: Bright Light Yellow, Yellow, Bright Light Orange,
Orange, Dark Orange, Brown, Dark Brown, and Black. Exceptions are Light and Dark Bley for the mixel joints. Completed in May 2023.
Song is "True Contrite" by Knuckle Puck.

The skeleton is essential because it must support the weight of the ship and must accommodate the gears.
Once you find the right size you can start with the outside.
I’ve finally found the time to finish this Pagani with some bricks that came in and printed parts that needed to fit right.
One of the most requested cars on my page, mainly because it’s almost impossible to recreate… but I took on the challenge and this is the result :)
The Pagani Huayra is a weird car. Some hate it and some love it. It’s like there is no in between…
I loved the Zonda really much and I always thought that the Huayra didn’t have the “looks” of the Zonda. But trough this building process I started to fall in love with the car! I love the outcome and im really happy with it. Instructions will be up soon!
Neptune Hydromineral Processing Station.
This is an Aquanaut outpost designed to clean The freshly mined hydrocrystals before going back to the Neptune base.

Growing On You 🌳
I am a blade in a lawn that's new
Covered in dew
Waiting on you
I need no shade
I'm tried and true
But I'm lonely like you
I'm growing on you
Submitted to the LEGO Ideas contest "Exhibit Your Creativity In The Lego House!" under the "All Seasons" category under the name "A Spring Awakening": The slumbering earth awoke from its winter's rest, and a symphony of life began to play. The butterflies come out to find a friend. Model has a footprint of 32 x 36 studs and is approximately 52 stacked bricks tall.
This is the second MOC in my mixel-joint-based miniland plus series with heavy emphasis on color and emotion. This is the green one :)
The build started in mid-May with the character when making the other miniland plus characters. I knew I wanted to make something with classical architecture and use the net-weaving technique. I did a quick sketch a few weeks ago and the rest of the MOC flowed from there. A portion of the flowers/plants are recycled sub-assemblies from Order of the Falcon: Monastery by the Eastern Sea.
I reeeeeaally wanted to display this at Brickworld 2023 to show alongside Die In Your Arms and True Contrite, but it sadly just didn't get done in time #YONHO. A prototype version was displayed at Bricks in the Six 2023.
Lyrics by The Story So Far from their song "Growing on You".
What an amazing job our team did on the Sweet Tooth van! 😲😲😲
What a team effort! Peter took the design Norman, Jorge and myself worked on and gave it a facelift with these amazing prints!
Now we are working with Marc-André to get these printed on the bricks!
And there will be another surprise coming soon when Jorge works his magic!
