My 8 stud wide Speed Champions style MOC of the Batmobile from the movie THE BATMAN (2022).
I wanted to build this vehicle since the first photos from the movie came out. It’s been in works for more than a year now and currently it’s in a star that I’m pretty happy with. My main goal was to make the most detailed version possible with the most accurate proportions.
Started out from the purple Dodge Challenger of the Speed Champions Dodge double-pack because the shaping is similar to a 70s muscle car. I went for a 9 stud wide design since the in universe car is quite wide.
The biggest challenge was the V8 engine at the back with all the around it, but I love how it turned out.
The interior has place for one figure, just like the real one, due to all the machinery on the right side of the cabine. I worked hard to represent all the tanks, instruments and supports of the interior, based on reference pictures. I designed the dashboard with the same pieces like the offical set, so the stickered parts can be used there.
The other bid challenge was to include the different bars of the rollcage in accurate position.
The flame pieces add a nice dynamic effect all around the vehicle and I used glow in the dark pieces for the headlights for more fun.
I’m really happy with this MOC, I hope you like it also! (Now I just have to make something to complement it 👀)

True Contrite ⚫
Disguise your memory with pictures on the walls
Replace my every flaw, the ones you never even saw
We dream in color, but see in black and white
Between the covers, we sleep on beds of lies
Someday your true contrite will find you
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.

The Driver - Drive (2011) 🚗📹
This is a ̶s̶e̶l̶f̶-̶p̶o̶r̶t̶r̶a̶i̶t̶ mosaic of ̶m̶e̶ Ryan Gosling as The Driver in the 2011 cult classic film Drive, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. I really enjoyed building my last mosaic of Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom from Nightcrawler, so I wanted to give another crack at it, especially with the pieces to do so on hand.
Completed in May 2023. This mosaic was first laid out
in Stud.io, manually adjusted in Stud.io (~4 hours), and
further refined and tweaked after building.

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.

Design Insights XLIX
Roman architectural history has always been a two-way street. In one lane, there are the tangible pieces of evidence attesting to provenance, like stamped bricks which firmly date a structure to a specific time period and probable patron. In the opposite lane, the breakneck speed of imperial propaganda might well be the only story that survives to this day, just as, I suspect, the patron(s) of any project would have intended.
I specifically chose the example of opposing lanes of traffic for the Thermæ Alexandrinæ as it perfectly describes the friction of evidence versus narrative therein. On the one hand, the vanishingly few excavations carried out on the site have revealed remnants of an elaborate baths complex with building material firmly dating its construction to the third century reign of Alexander Severus. On the other hand, the complex is still interchangeably referred to as the Baths of Alexander [Severus] and as the Baths of Nero. But Nero's claim to the baths on this site are far less certain and much more circumstantial.
The Baths of Nero were built on or near this site, according to multiple sources. Nero's proclivities toward excess, however, resulted in backlash which saw many of his architectural projects either torn down or used as foundations for later overbuilding. Were the Baths of Alexander built on top of Nero's baths? Were Alexander's baths arranged according to the imperial thermæ standard, or did Nero's baths set that standard 150 years earlier? These are just some of the many questions we shall ask - but inevitably fall short of answering - as we explore the Thermæ Alexandrinæ.

📜 Welcome back to SPQR! The start of Phase III design works finds us all the way back at the beginning of the project; at the bend in the Tiber. Just north of Tiber Island, the river shifts directions before resuming its northward course. It was here at the bend in the Tiber where Aeneas's ship is said to have made berth in the century preceding the mythical 753 BCE founding of Rome. These once swampy marshlands were dredged and eventually incorporated within the pomerium (sacred city limits of Rome during antiquity) when the Circus Flaminius was consolidated into Regio IX, one of twelve administrative regiones established under Augustus.
