Lego System (SPACE)

While I do like walking tank style mechs with heavy weaponry and thick boxy armor, I sometimes feel like there are many unexplored aesthetics within the mecha genre. I thought it would be fun to do a mech with more organic elements and no guns.
The Mobile Medical Unit is like a space ambulance/ER. Comes complete with two operating/recovery tables and all the supplies needed to stabilize patients before their extraction. Huge sensor array guides the MMU with uplink to the carrier vessel for increased guidance.

Story
Heimdall is a reconnaissance spaceship. Powered by a single yet powerful thermonuclear engine from BST (Benny Space Technologies), coupled with a high-energy particles grabber under the cockpit that helps to replenish fuel supplies on a long missions. To disperse a ridiculous amounts of heat from reactor's core a series of thermo-dump panels are mount beneath the fuselage. Being a reconnaissance ship it is also equipped with a sensors array under the cockpit and some ion cannons at each wing, you known, just in case....
Design and build
It took me more than 5 months to design and build it. A major inspiration comes from amazing artwork by Michal Kus. Especially the color-blocking and indentations at the front of the wings were a place from which I started. Along the way I shifted things my own way to suit ideas that were jumbling inside my head or I just wanted to incorporate, like the thermo-dump panels from Hamilton's series of books. There were many fun challenges along the way not only related to its geometry or color-blocking but also in making sure that this flying mosaic would be rigid. All of this required many rebuilds and tests but I had a blast doing all of this :)
Building instructions
For anyone curious how Heimdall is built or want to look at some building techniques I have created a studio model based on the actual build. It should be more handy than a regular step-by-step instructions. You can download it from here github.com/lechkulina/Heimdall

Escaping from the tomb and putting someone else in their place.
Rather than quoting Bible verses you're going to hear a whole lot today and half of you will discredit as cult utterances, I thought I'd just put this out instead: Angels, Heaven, and other aspects of our faith are concepts difficult to wrap one's head around, and right now we can't. So a lot of people dismiss them as petty imaginings and larger-than-life reflections of things we can see and touch. "Giant humans with bird wings? Haha how pagan."
Consider, just for a brief while, the implications of perhaps these being original concepts; our concepts and ideas little reflections that are missing pieces, and the only way those who saw angels or Heaven could describe them was through Earthly terms, resulting in outrageous-sounding descriptions filled with lions' heads, wheels within wheels, and a lot of gold when there simply was no way to utter the element that made their appearance unutterable. Plato, though not completely right, had hit on something with his Myth of the Cave, now you just need someone to guide you out of it...
This brief little build is also destined to be an entry for FLONAPRIL, it seems: www.flickr.com/groups/flonapril/

Definitely my favourite MOC. :3
I updated my old one a bit 'cos (Hopefully) this will go on display at Brickworld!
FebRovery Day 7
M:Tron Speeder bike was one of the most popular vehicles to zip around.
Apparently I lack an M:Tron minifig, so I made one as best as I could.
Number: CT-1807
Rank: Sergeant Grade 1
Nickname: Scout
3rd Regiment of the 253rd Legion
///Log Entry\\\
" As soon as we entered the outskirts of the battle for Dooku's fortress new orders came in, all squads in the 3rd regiment were to proceed north of the fortress and destroy several targets suspected of being droid factories. After rounding up the two remaining troopers in my squad, I repeated our new orders. As you can imagine they didn't bode well with Lucky or Rook, it was frustrating that we were being turned around and sent away from the fight each one of us wanted to spill Dooku's blood and let that hu'tuun drown in it. But orders are orders and to disobey them would be a betrayal to all of our brothers. After stocking up on explosives and shouldering our rifles we headed out. Finding our target wasn't very hard all we had to do was follow the fuel lines, soon we stumbled across the factories outer fuel storage. We swiftly disabled the two B1s who were standing guard then took up positions to ambush anyone who dared check out the disturbance but no once came. We worked fast planting charges on anything that looked important. When the job was done I ordered Lucky and Rook back covering them with my sniper rifle after they were out of sight I walked over to the destroyed B1s and collected their fingers. Then I left running through the heaps of scrap metal until I met up with Lucky and Rook turning I pulled out the detonator and watched the fireworks begin, this one is for Castle... "
This pic really doesn't do the build justice, it has to be one of my favorites and best builds to date.
As always comments are appreciated, thanks for viewing and have a great day!
I'm getting there. This needs a bit of a tidy up but I'm happy with the general shape.
Door idea from Project Azazel :D ( I tried so many different options for the doors, but ultimately this was the only one I could get to work like an official set might. Ideally I'd be using those double sided doors but they don't come in black as far as I'm aware.
Every night, when I get up to get a glass of water, I find the Janitor quietly mopping all the floors and cleaning all the sidewalks in Lynn's LEGO City. I'm thinking of buying more of this minifig and placing them all around the house. Then maybe all my floors will be clean in the morning? :-)
Until a red boomerang piece comes out to replace the red hands this is about as close as I can get.
Enjoy :)
Been wanting to come up with a universal fuel cell for ships for some time. It was always a fun thing as kid when to try to always incorporate the basic one at that time (2x2 round with plate on bottom and tile on top. This feels like a modern variation on that old friend. I need some 1x1 rounds in transclear for 'empty' ones. I do like the T bar on this that will act as a plug in for energy transfer conduits or the like. They are also stackable and lock in top to bottom nicely.
Macro Monday entry for July 11, 2022 - "Four"
Backlit white lego plate with four colored translucent single round studs capped with a matching color single round tile; red, yellow, green, and blue.
Backlight is the light from an iPhone 12
Camera is a Sony a7R III connected to a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM via a Sigma MC-11 mount converter
So as promise (from October), here he is, the Phantom Virus. Originally started as a contest entry into J\'s Customs Scooby Doo contest, but took too long to make. Head is my first every proper sculpt using fimo. A really weird and difficult figure to make, due to his non-minifig proportions. Legs are extended with two tiles to give him extra hight. Hes still not tall enough/head oversized.
I don\'t even know....
Well, let me know what you think on my weirdest custom to date. J's Customs , I hope the wait was worth while lol
