Service, maintenance, space side assistance vehicle. Reverses up to the ship in need and access via the service deck at the rear. Equipped with Multi directional thrusters for precision driving and bash bars for durability and those tough spots in asteroid fields.
The ideal ship for mobile mechanics.
I built this for Jeff Cross in a moc exchange event I participated in end of last year/start of this year. I Forgot to share it here
Because I do nearly everything in 3s, this is the first MOC in a mixel-joint-based miniland plus series with heavy emphasis on color and emotion. The vignette takes up a ~32x32 footprint in a circle. Completed in March 2023. Only uses the following colors: Black, Dark Blue, Dark Azure, Medium Azure, Dark Bley, Light Bley, Light Aqua, and White. Won Best Vignette at Brickworld Chicago 2023. The Dino Tail addiction is real.
The MOC series I'm most proud of is my Moments of Melancholy series: presented to you here together all in one place. In a way, it's my take on the #ColorWheel challenge. Started in early 2023 and completed June 2024. Displayed for the first time all together at Brickworld 2024. From left to right:
🔻 Birth and Rebirth
💛 True Contrite
🌳 Growing On You
💙 Die in Your Arms
💜 Rivers of Mercy
⬛ "Well Done", from Grief to the Coffin Boards
There were initially just three separate builds and no intention of it all to tell a story, but it's been a happy accident that I feel like it does now (vaguely) from left to right. It was a lot of fun to dream up different forms, shapes, and compositions to contrast the others as the series progressed.
Be sure to checkout my individual posts and reels on all of these builds. Thank you so much for all your support.

Meet Dan Dredge, his family is in the Dredging business. Dans reckons he can take home the race winnings with their high torque dredging sub. Typically used to dredge up reefs and sea floor to gain access to hydrolator crystals, this beast of a machine has got some punch! Best stay out of his way and be sure to avoid getting under those dredging blades they will tear you apart!
This is my entry for #aquajune2025 taking inspiration from the OZ-08MMS Cancer from gundam wing. I first saw it on @liamshobbyroom YouTube channel and loved the design.

What was only supposed to be a series of 3 models, spun into a total of 6. This is my 4th build in my "Moments of Melancholy" series. While all the others had some sort of direct inspiration, whether a song or a piece of artwork, this one was just off the dome.
Only uses the colors white, light bley, dark bley, black, red, dark red, and coral. Model started in August 2023, finished in May 2024, and photographed in March of 2025. The top petals use ~10 sets of the dragon wings from set 70653 Firstbourne (Part # 38765 on Bricklink).
Ulájuk is Greenlandic for "well-built one." This was a fun journey in learning how to be as efficient with my brick collection as possible. I started with the wing pieces I got from my latest RLUG meeting last month and created a face using the light yellow bricks from the Fiat set. From there it was a gamble if I had the parts to accomplish a full figure. He has a very robust technic core and has panels in the back attached by Lego magnets to make it easy for me to access his core to move him. He is quite heavy and weighs about 10-15lbs. The dwarf stands at 20.5 inches tall. There are a lot of unique techniques I got to try and this dwarf is through and through pure unaltered Lego.
The shoulder covers are from the Star Wars 9678 Twin Pod Cloud Car and Bespin and the cloth is from Star Wars 6210 Jabba's Sail Barge
Special thanks to Dwalin Forkbeard and Alex_mocs for the helpful input along the way.
I hope you enjoy this build.

“Dracomata”
Drago means dragon in Latin, and I had to combine it with automata as this seems like some Victorian clockwork. This is a clip and bar build, with almost no studful connections.
~80 hours over two weeks.

Order of the Falcon: Monastery by the Eastern Sea
🔳 50" x 30" x 46" (4' x 2.5' x 4')
🔳 50,000 - 100,000 pieces
🔳 120+ Hours
🔳 7 Weeks - Late April to Mid-June
🔳 First and last show at Brickworld Chicago 2022
🔳 Inspiration: The build is inspired in three large ways:
- Art I found online – check out my Instagram post to see it.
- Beautiful Christian buildings I've visited: Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in D.C., Church of the Intercession in NYC, St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC, & Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in NYC
- My Love of the Lego Castle Theme: Always been present, especially in my childhood, but I've never really built in heavily. My favorite sets include: 7019 Viking Fortress, 10193 Medieval Market Village, and 7036 Dwaves' Mine. Most recently, I loved 21325 Medieval Blacksmith which is what set me on the Black Falcon kick.
🔳 Help & Support:
Truly could not have done it in the small window of time without some great people:
Simon Liu - did the beautiful and oft mentioned waterfall, the waves/shoreline, & other small details. Came out to Illinois early in advance of Brickworld to help get me across the finish line! Always cheering me on! Everyone needs an accountabuildibuddy!
Nick Jensen - graciously allowed me to come and borrow both the photo studio and a good deal of his time in generating these AMAZING photos. Also came over early pre-Brickworld and helped with any weird, small details I threw at him! An OG!
My friend Noah - did some great bush & plant repetition a week before the show. King!
Steve K. - came by during the wee hours of Thurs night / Friday morning of Brickworld and did something that I cannot remember now 😅 - I know it was important!
Dan L. - a CRUCIAL final Bricklink order!
Friends and Family - so grateful for all your support!
🔳 Credit Where Credit Is Due:
- The rounded bush in bright green used 4 times on the terrace and 3 times by the "river" was by fullplatebuilds in the Micro Trees post.
- The smaller trees on the front left and right of the terrace (best seen in image #1 in the carousel on the left hand side) was a modified version of cheeseystudios' in his great Hogwarts Courtyard build.
- Deer technique is an ever so slightly modified version of littlejohn_brickbuilt's in the fantastic Sabishi Monastery.
- I found the 5-flex-tube tree technique somewhere online but I cannot find it now! Fits in the base of 1 stud surrounded by stacked 1x2 rounded plates.
- Once again, 8th image in the carousel is the waterfall done by Simon Liu.
🔳 Some other random notes on the build:
- The MOC has a footprint of 96x192 in studs
- It weights approx. 50-60 lbs. Hard to tell!
- I was supposed to start in early March...started in late April 😬
- Lighting the stained glass was almost an afterthought. Unfortunately, the walls of the monastery are only 1 brick thick and has a lot of holes for light to peek through. I taped paper along the inside in order to plug these up.
- The story highlight on my profile walks through the entire build from start to finish!
Thanks for viewing!
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.

Here’s my first entry for Aquajune
Calling for assistance to protect our resources! We are under attack, repeat we are under attack! The Hydronauts defend their freshly mined Hydrolator crystal haul from the conniving Stingrays!
Been on a bit of a mecha binge this year with patlabor and many shows from Gundam universes. I was captivated by the hygogg from war in the pocket. I was also inspired by The Underscored Double awesome hygogg builds when searching for some hygogg inspiration.

The young man from Grief into the coffin boards,
Into the coffin boards and into the grave,
In the grave and in the raw earth,
And for him already gone...
The 6th and final build in my "Moments of Melancholy" series. Inspired by some random artwork I found (see my Instagram post). Other iterations of the build included having a grim reaper / skeleton in the build, but I couldn't find the right way to work it in, especially with the chosen footprint.
Only uses white, light bley, dark bley, and black. Model started in July 2023, finished June 2024, and photographed March 2025.
Can you spot the secret, camouflaged kitty?

His Beskar armor, belt, bandolier, glove plate, and boots are sculpted. Two magnets were embedded into the back torso sculpt for his jetpack and rifle.
•
Additional 3D elements were made with electrical tape and a LEGO plant piece.
•
The Beskar chrome was achieved by base coating the armor with a Molotow liquid chrome pen. I dialed down the mirror finish with a metallic black wash to achieve the aluminum silver finish.
•
The helmet was 3D printed using a file from Thingiverse user PLOIQUE. I resculpted the fin and T-visor.
•
Jetpack is from CloneArmyCustoms and attaches onto the back via magnets.
•
His pistol is from Brickarms.
•
The Beskar spear was made from magnets, 2 rods, and additional sculpting at the tip.
•
Leave your thoughts down below. I would appreciate it!
I am working on the Building instructions of my last MOCs and am trying to make It more professionnal for a project with @elevenbricks11 (Stay tuned for that! 😉). I change my software. I will use Stud.io so I try different things as the Render FUNCTION!

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.
-Steven

Didn’t really have a game plan when I started making these. The black one is loosely based on an old Buick, and the green is a hodge podge of reference images. But! Regardless of quirks, they can fill out parking spots well!

Tackling my first big original MOC in fine scale since the Atlantic.
Using a mixture of new techniques from Block Junction MOCs and album stalking, I’m trying hard to get my proportions down without too much compensation for r56 curves. So far it’s promising!

Kuat model: R24 halberd
Designation: I-wing
The mad engineers at Kuat Systems Engineering took on some of the requests from the newer resistance pilots and applied it to their ace in the hole. The R24 Halberd is a sort of successor to the RZ-2 A-wing.
Pilots took note of the B-wings agility incorporated a more agile body layout with a pivoting cockpit. Centred the engines and increased the amount of directional vanes. Many pilots would joke how the engineers are still just fitting the biggest and fastest engines they could to a chair. Pilots also wished to inflict more damage. So kuat slapped the biggest ion cannon they could fit… more jokes ensued about overcompensating until these I-wings started taking out capital ships while taking minimal damage due to the new found agility.
Due to the larger power draw of the ion canon, its laser cannons were swapped out for smaller faster repeaters that operate off less energy. With how fast and agile the I-wing was, the loss of range in dog fights is negated. I-wings were very demanding of the pilots abilities and not great for drawn out fights. But if you wanted to be an ace pilot in the resistance forever pushing the boundaries of your abilities, this was the starfighter
Happy #starwarsday !
This build was originally started for TJ the Brickwright. I couldn’t finish it in time. But since picking it back up It’s taken me a while to figure out the construction of the nose. I really wanted to get that sharp bladed edge for the nose.
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.

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.
Lyrics by Knuckle Puck from the song "True Contrite".
One of my reasons for building British Locos has always been liveries. Just so many fantastic options for color and display.
I’ve tackled building in multiple liveries in the past, but now with a few years of building experience under belt, I really want to try some old builds again (like the pannier, the N7) and see how big this Trainbow can get :) I’ve got ideas for dark brown, lime, purple, and light blue. But any other ideas y’all can think of please let me know! (I need an idea for yellow or tan!)
Still needs some proportion changes, but ultimately I think its turned Out alright for a spare part build
Been tinkering back and forth and basically chose to bite the bullet and line it while I was peak excited. Tender construction starts this weekend
Wanted to show how I settled on my buffer beam design, and a few other fiddlely accents I’ve been messing with while I wait for tender parts
