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.

A little diversion from working on the mansion. A very good client asked me to work on a design for a Gondor trebuchet.

I’ve been working on this creation for a couple months.
.

Behind the bricks story:
Some time ago I had a customer that came to me and wanted a commission.
He wanted the Apollo IE or this AMG project one. Both amazing cars and we decided on the Apollo. The Mercedes was still a concept back then.
Last summer Mercedes announced that there would be 275 units produced, which all sold out. When the news came out and it became “real” I needed to build it. So here it is. My Brick build rendition of the Project one.
This rendition features openable doors. And an active spoiler which was hard to make since the rear only sticks out 3,5 studs and the technic piece I used for it, needed to be 5 studs in height. This needed to be this long so that the spoiler could move up just high enough that it would sit right under the fin on the back.
This creation also features 3D-printed door frames, canards and wheels. (The wheels took me some time 😂)
.
.
.
Real car stats:
It’s assisted by two electric motors, one to boost the engine and one fitted to the F1-style turbocharger. Combined, the engine and motors produce 1,063hp
Mercedes claim that this car will do 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds, and 0-124mph in under six seconds. The top speed is over 217mph.
Oh yeah and the car will be sold for around 2.7M USD .
Chances that you’ll be able to own one of these are close to none but building this scale model out of bricks can be done. Head over to my website and there you’ll be able to get the preorder in. Instructions will be available late December.
Enjoy the post and happy building!
Balrog/Rancor Hybrid.
Started with a Rancor minifig and sculpted into a Balrog. By far the largest custom fig I’ve made, maybe not the most detailed though.
Inspired by awesome SW/LOTR mashup artwork from @jakebartok
Thanks to my local games shop, @warehouse51games for all the supplies (lots of greenstuff, mordant earth, etc)

Minifig scale version of the V-wing starfighter, with accurate proportions, details, and it can land as it seen in Revenge of the Sith and Battlefront 2 (2017).
Since I finished my very first version of this model, I was constantly updating parts of it. This latest update contains the biggest changes. While it looks quite same to previous versions, with more studless external panel, it has significant changes to the inner structure. It’s almost a new model, rather than another update, as the whole width by 1 stud, which required a lot of rework.
The main goal was to have more sleeker upper panels, as I have keept seeing new, approaches like SNOT by Malen Garek and panel-tile-SNOT hybrid by The last Brickbender
I wanted as thin edges as possible, so I went for the hybrid design, using mainly tiles on plates with overlaping panels, to create the angle. I also separated the rear part of the main panel, at the angle change, to a quite complex SNOT section, which worked out well to have accurate representation of the color scheme.
I the wings, I removed as much studs and antistuds as it was possible with maintaining details and functions. The previous versions all had a fix spacer wedged between the connections of the wings on each side. It’s funcrtion was to keep the wings at the right position in landing mode, but due to that the wings was too much in an angle in flying mode. I designed a new spacer, which can be turned to be able to change of the angle of the wings, but also can be locked in place in landing, to hold the weight of the ship.
The underside also needed a big change, now the angles and details are much more accurate.
I also changed small bits like the guns, but my favorite is the curved tubes on the underside of the cylinders at the wings, which I was able to recreate with black sausage pieces.
I’m really happy whit the this updates and I quite loving this model now.
Dwarf Longbeards of the “Grumbling Guard”
“Longbeards have fought in more wars, beaten more enemies and endured greater hardships than any young Dwarf can possibly imagine. They constantly grumble about how today's Goblins are far smaller and weedier than they used to be and how nothing is as well made as it was in their day. No young Dwarf, as hot-headed and tempestuous as he might be, would dare gainsay a Longbeard; after all, they have much more experience - and the beard to prove it!”
I built these guys over a year ago with some modified @brickwarriors, lego, and @greenstuff. Finally got around to painting them.

Work got in the way of my LEGO building so I haven’t come round to doing much lately. But in the end 1 to 2 of hours a week do add up to this BR57 (or Prussian G10) being at 90% done.
I have to complete the details on the loc itself and the tender needs a bit more work overall. Also desperately waiting for the new HA Bricks injection molded wheels.
Last Sunday the loc made its first test drive and I’m happy to report its r104 approved!
UNSC Marines from Halo. Original sculpts by @elon_wagner with some light mods and painting by me.

Yuri Volkovnikov, an Interstellar Exoplanet Ekistics (ISEE) Astronaut visits the surface of Gliese 3293 b located approximately 59 light years from our solar system... it's crystalline structured surface moves at random and can be quite dangerous. Studying the surface has led to the discovery of a loose particle based plate tectonics that involves high levels of magnetism. The movement appears to be in patches intermittent with large solid swaths that "float" smoothly over and polish the stones below.
