Grand Traverse Lighthouse, built in 1858 and automated in 1972 marks the entrance to Grand Traverse Bay. There were many additions to the building, including making it a two-family residence in 1900.
This Lego lighthouse is displayed in the Grand Traverse Lighthouse gift shop. The background was replaced using Photoshop.
The lighthouse building is shown in the first comment below.
This early 15th century 'Caraval' carries the name 'Orion Star' and is used for the transport of goods along the Mediterranean trade routes.
In 1486 Florence and Venice had widely accepted trade agreements and benefit of each others reach within the ever expanding worldwide trade routes.
Apart from creating the shape of this ship, the sails and the color scheme, the real challenge was to recreate the symbol of florence; the iconic fleur de lis.
Personally, I think this worked out pretty well 😁
_____________________________________
Some background story;
I chose this type of ship because it fits within the time frame and the characteristics of the venice laguna of that time (not deep and many sandbanks).
The caravel had a stern rudder and a raised forecastle and sterncastle. Caravels had a typical length-to-beam ratio of 3.5:1 with a shallow draught. It was also highly manoeuvrable and fast. All of these characteristics made the caravel ideal for exploring unfamiliar waters and coastal shallows where larger ships might easily have become stranded on sandbanks or damaged by rocks.
Let me know what you think and thx for stopping by 🙌

Special thanks to my boy Mark Sandlin for the modern Ice Planet graphic
The Think Tank from the first Ghost in the Shell animated movie is one of my all time favourite mechs. With the new movie on the brink I felt it's a good time to show the model some love again.
So I made a new refined and tweaked version in order to eliminate all custom items for reasons of re-buildabilty. Also I made use of some newly released parts which give it a nice polish.
Building instructions and a parts list have been created for anyone interested.

This build is a large castle/landscape display featuring The Knights of the Black Falcon and The Forest Guard.
First and foremost the aim of this build was to showcase what I love about those classic mid-80s Castle sets and specifically my two favourite factions. I have drawn inspiration from the original sets featuring each faction, specifically what I loved about them as a child and aimed to contrast that with what appeals to me as an adult builder.
The build features two fortresses side by side, Falkenholt Castle, the fortress of the Knights of the Black Falcon and an underground network of caves and tunnels that comprise the fortress of the Forest Guard.
Some of the elements that I am most happy with in this build are the level of detail and texture, the cross-section style cutaway on the edges of the build showing the internal structure of the castle as well as the geological layers of rock, clay and soil.
Sun is setting over a sleepy shunting yard in Esslingen, Württemberg. The old, unsuspecting nightwatchman just started his rounds. Not knowing there is an unscrupulous crook around the next corner. How will this encounter end?
After seeing www.flickr.com/photos/thomas_reincke/52972245863/in/datep... posting his beautiful Württemberg Guterwagens/boxcars I wanted to post my own rendition. I've also got my hands on some dark green 1x2 tiles in the Lego online store and was finally able to build a boxcar in dark green. The techniques used in the design are much similar to my boxcars for cattle but I had to find a way to make the sides without the 2x4 and 2x3 tiles which are either not available in dark green or in case of the first more expensive than gold. After some puzzling I found a - very parts intensive @Nick ;) - solution and this afternoon I took an hour to create this small diorama.
The boxcar is Epoche 1 and based on this Marklin model: rlp.museum-digital.de/object/60607
I’m probably going to use it as the first car for an upcoming Bavarian freight train/guterzug.

Let me know what you think, as always much appreciated!
At first: All you can see is LEGO. The last few days I‘ve realized a long wish, building a Ford GT40. I ❤️ these colors. It was a real model job to create the number out of LEGO stickers, so this model scene idea was born. Visit my account at Instagram: www.instagram.com/_derjoe_/?hl=de
Meet Hannes, Hannes is not the brightest bulb in the box and he often ends up in bad situations. Today being no exception. Upon seeing a broken light bulb he didn’t think twice and he stormed up the ladder of the light mast and the inevitable happened. Slip, trip and down he went..
Last winter I build a couple of four axled types of railway cars the first being this Prussian Trichterwagen / Selbstentlader (self-unloader) car for coal transport of the Bauart (OOt). The manufacture year was 1904. These cars have an own weight of 17,950 kg and a loading capacity of 38 ton. At first I wanted to build the Bavarian dark green rendition but due to parts availability I ended up with a reddish brown Prussian type. The four axled diamond trucks we’re based on an American design. Same as my Lego rendition, inspiration came from Glenn and Cale.
I’ve build a small diorama with a weighbridge based on a real model. That one is near and dear to me. It is located in the small town of Ulrum were my grandparents lived and my dad grow up. As a child I came there often visiting my grandparents and passed by the weighbridge. The real one was meant for road traffic (max 30t) and not for railway cars however. My granddad being a local truck transporter probably would have used it many a time. Being a train buff I took the liberty to transform it to a railway weighbridge because I very much like the design and hope to attach it to my Linderei station layout in the future. I’ve added in details like brick build windows and things like lead slabs for the roof and a chimney cap.

The real weighbridge was designed by Willem Reitsema, a semi famous architect of the Amsterdam School who build a lot of nice buildings in the North of Groningen.

Built in just three weeks, the Hoonigan third-gen Camaro sports Chevy’s new $37,000 632 cubic-inch 1,000 horsepower crate engine.
Here I was talking about the real car, because my LEGO version took way more than 3 weeks to build!
Built at the scale of 1:16 , this Big Block Camaro took me nearly 2 months to build, it's one of my favorite cars so I spent lots of time and efforts on this to get it as accurate as possible in LEGO form.
Model has many functions including opening doors, rear trunk and working steering, which is usually hard to add when using these wheel arches! Model also has every possible detail on the engine and the interior.
Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Finally finished making my Arctic Warfare Humvee I call the "Snow Cat" which is based on the one seen in the film "Inception" with my own changes here and there. Advice from Mark of Falworth on the tech for snow on the tree's..so thanks Mark pal. Edit by Todd, thanks very much Bud. !your skill always amazes me! Plenty of help and advice aswell..so thanks again..this ones for you! Ski mask heads from CB Joe..great gift..so a massive thanks ; )
A big greeblyboi, built for the speeder-themed LondonAFOLs July meet-up.
It utilises the big cubes and cloth parts from
Andrea's Bunny Cube, which was a gift from Gubi challenging me to use them in a MOC.
Completely redesigned wings from scrap (shape, details, fastening) and partially cockpit. I've spent almost 2 months on it but I think it was worth it.

I’ve tried to build a Leica M camera, all in this picture is a LEGO moc. You can see more pictures at my Instagram account.
You know you re a badass when you can rock a bike with these colours and still look like a badass!
Another Chopper to add to my collection! and Purist this time! Big shout out to all the other bike builders. SWD
So everyone know all at the picture is LEGO, I can turn the focus to the car. The last few days I‘ve realized a long wish, building a Ford GT40. I ❤️ these colors. It was a real model job to create the number out of LEGO stickers, so this model scene idea was born.
This build is a Surefoot TR3 rover inspired by Ice Planet 2002 but using the range of pieces and building techniques now available.
The colour scheme and styling of this build will hopefully be recognisable to any fan of the original LEGO Ice Planet 2002 sets (1993-1994), though I have broadened the colour scheme ever so slightly for my post-apocalyptic Ice Planet setting. This rover was created as part of my as-yet-unnamed Ice Planet Badlands build.
A Vanguard-class Titan went for a wander through the fields over yonder. This lego model was a really fun subject to photograph during the golden hour. Original LEGO MOC model available here: messymaru.com/2019/03/15/vanguard-class-titan-ver-2-5/
After my last question round, there where 2 inspiring comments from @brad_chaz and @demontes. And here is the result, an Etch A Sketch, all in this picture is a LEGO moc.
Well I'm Going Big for my 3rd and final Summer Joust entry... The story behind this? I don't know... I just built the model, maybe I'll let you decide that! XP
Afternoon of a Faun - based on a photo of the incredible dancer, Tanaquil Le Clercq.
The sculpture is 19.3" wide x 11.8" deep x 21.6" high (49cm x 30cm x 55cm) and is made from around 3,000 bricks.
A fan made Imperial capital ship design, based off YouTuber EC Henry recreation of the original Colin Cantwell Imperial Cruiser concept for Star Wars (1977), designed in 1975.
A complete rebuild of an old MOC from last summer, which I was not happy with considering it was my first time building anything with the Star Destroyer shape.
I built something! Actually I built a few things, but they are all more or less in their finalizing state soooo a moment till theyre released.
So I was wondering for a while if you can make a siege engine the old fashioned way: no springs or bows - but with twisted ropes providing all the force. The answer is yes - and it works! I will show it on camera in soon.
I tried an Onager first, which is your archetypical catapult, but eh, it was boring. Maybe will get back to it. What I ended up with is a ballista, a Roman one to be more specified. Once it started working I gave it a nice wooden trim, borrowed few Roman soldiers from my friends and voilà - there you have it: a Roman Ballista. Enjoy!

BMW E36 COUPE SPORT detailed display LEGO model.
Updated rear end, some cosmetical changes.
There was wrong part in the inventory: Black Plate, Round 1x1 with underside bar handle should be new type with longer stem (part no. 79194), instead of part no. 25893.
Instructions on Rebrickable:
Had this one was done before the Cobra but I've been changing areas back and forth since and as I can never leave a model alone to be considered finished I thought I might as well upload it.
I've said I would remake my old Blackhawk for far too long and 8 years later it's here lol, least it uses a lot of the parts from the old model so a nice connection. Thanks to all the other BH builders out there as it's been an inspiration.
Black models are so hard to photograph!
Doors slide
Rarer pieces used- black turntable discs
Trans clear 2x2 tiles
My LEGO build of a Long John bicycle. It has working pedals and chain that spins the rear wheel. The front wheel has working linkage steering. The linkage connecting under the cargo area makes it possible to turn the front wheel with the handlebars.

I wrote in my last post that most of this model design was a 3D model with LEGO-friendly measurements for the builders to follow. But certain portions of the design were quicker and easier to design physically and give to the builders to copy into the final glued #legomodel. For most #Miniland models in 2019 #LEGODigitalDesigner (and to a degree LEGO Brickbuilder) has by and large replaced the need for physical prototyping- elements can be quickly duplicated, and finished digital design files can be sent to any of our global model shops to be built. .
However there is still the odd model or detail here and there that we like to (or need to) mock up with actual #LEGO pieces to see how the real world tolerances actually work.
