Based on concept art by Seulgi Kim.
The watering can and wheelbarrow (with tweaked handlebars) are designs of Balbo's.
A collab with Goochar, Brickuser24, and TalusMoonbreaker.
I was playing with using slopes at different angles to get unusual angles and this spaceship appeared. I don't know if all of the azure pieces exist in reality but I thought that it was a nice colour combination. I thought that the fins looked like fox ears and four was the number that I could fit on both sides: hence the name.
My first build for the Speed Champions 2323 collab.
The McLaren Solus from the Speed Champions set 76918 has such a crazy look that it almost looks more like a spaceship than a car. That's what inspired the Speed Champions 2323 collab.
The goal is to reuse some of the new Speed Champions pieces in a racing ship, so I took some parts from the Solus (the windscreen, the new wedges 3388 and 3389, the new modified plate 3386 (in the engines)) to build this spaceship.
I had a rough idea of what the model would look like, but didn't have the parts, so, as often, I first designed the engines with Mecabricks (thankfully they were strong enough once built physically). Then I've built a cockpit prototype with some parts I had and used stud.io to finish the cockpit and design the stand. I knew I wanted to link the cockpit and the engine with a truss structure, but my first idea was a bit more simple, with only three links on each side of the cockpit, and more fragile.
A small, anti-grav cargo vessel, used for carrying a variety of goods after they're broken out of the containers at the spaceport.
Inspired by the work of Ian McQue and other people who have been inspired by him.
Trying to reproduce organic shapes. Not 100% happy with this one, the head is a bt short, almost looks like a bear.
You can view it in 3D on Mecabricks.

Tried some middle eastern-styled architecture this month. The towers are built around steering wheels for whoever's curious.

Yeah, I basically went full Ralf Langer here, but digital. Very happy with the result.
I began working on this about a year ago, I finished it last September, and now I've finished the building instructions, which you can buy on Rebrickable. You can also see the 3D model on Mecabricks.
The model is made of 1148 elements, measures 62 studs in length, 22 studs in width (the road itself is 10 studs wide, enough so that the cart from the Medieval Blacksmith can easily pass), and 8 bricks tall (or 19,5 x 6,8 x 2,9 in / 49,6 x 17,3 x 7,4 cm).
I'm uploading renders because due to the model's length it's more convenient than to take pictures, but I've built it physically myself before making the instructions.
Operable on land or underwater, the Nykra Alpha series is a reliable workhorse for single operator transport.
This is the 7th entry in my monthly series of speeders built using retired (legacy) Lego colors. This model uses Royal Blue, Dark Grey, Transparent Fluorescent Yellow, & Sand Red.

A dry wind whistled through the desert of Kader, burning Vosh's nostrils. The assassinations and torchings were growing across the capital. If these extremists weren't stopped, the kingdom would be torn apart. Yet each attack brought them closer to him.

AI racing was great 'n all but even with cloud-based Drive Assist the buggies still need some numpty on hand to keep them in the competition.
A fast & fun vehicle for speeding around the empty Andean skies.

A build totally inspired by artwork from Kevin Ferguson over on Artstation.com
It's been a while since I've done a true Star Wars model. Here's my first TIE!
Based on the TIE Seeker model by Elliot Davis on Artstation, and the bulk of the cockpit shaping is from Inthert. Unfortunately the triangle tiles on the s-foils were flipped around in Mecabricks and I didn't notice until it was too late.
I hope to build this model IRL, but the high Bricklink price tag makes me want to find a solution for the more expensive parts first.
Rebuilt it to have a door I can open. Unfortunately it's just not made in a way for me to get a sliding door like the real one.
Leaf insects and stick insects are well-known for their ability to camouflage in the forests, but recently an even more elusive species of insect has been discovered : a butterfly with wings that mimic tree leaves, with a pattern that changes season after season, so it stays camouflaged all year long.
The model shows how the butterfly looks in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Each version of the butterfly uses about 85 pieces, and the complete model is made of 471 pieces. Each butterfly has its own independent display base, so they can be arranged in different ways.
This model was built for the Your creations in the world-famous LEGO House! contest on Lego Ideas. You can see my entry here :

This is a digital model (you can see it on Mecabricks) but I can and will certainly build it physically, regardless of the results of the contest.
The height of Opsidian power sits atop Mount Opsido—the empire's only free-standing mountain. Dark, angular, and breathtaking, the fortress bears the name Montravelle.

First off, yes. This is a digital build. And huge, huge thanks to Renderbricks for helping me out with the gorgeous render! :D But don't express "Aw, if only it could be done with real bricks!" disappointment yet. All of these parts (excluding the guard's fancy dark orange scarf and his slightly modified head) exist in these colors. Although it is tempting to give in to infinite possibilities, establishing an "only what exists" limit—outside of minifigures—challenges me personally to work with what I have and gives me a nice warm feeling that this could actually be built physically.
Now here's the part where I tell you buying that amount of bright green off of BL is extremely difficult. But it's the principle of the thing that counts. ;)

Regarding the build itself, my main goal since beginning the project has always been to take some of the famed "staleness" out of the castle genre. I incorporated a more unique style of architecture inspired by two builds of mine from five years ago. Very gothicky and mainly achieved thanks to those delectable pteranodon jaw parts. Also experimented with a more unique layout that flowed with the landscape instead of cutting through it. My favorite part overall, though, is the contrast in color and shape between building and mountain, which I think makes the MOC pop the most. So when all is said and done, I hope Montravelle at least qualifies as a fresh take on the old theme.
And that's about it.
Just one big fortress from a one-time imagined fantasy world once to be admired and never to be returned to again . . .
. . . unless this could also be the start of something bigger.

A Vic Viper built for DigiLUG's November Monthly Challenge. The theme was Legacy Colours, and it's actually quite hard to make a cohesive colour scheme with only colours that hadn't been used in the past 10 years.
The idea of using brick separators comes from an earlier WIP from this summer.

A belated Halloween build !
This was made for the latest DigiLUG monthly challenge a few weeks ago, but I hadn't had the chance to upload a proper render before.
The biggest challenge here was to do my best not to reuse the bathroom I designed for my Diogenes Trexler escaping the Korvonian worm scene from 2020.
It was fun to play with the "scary monster in the mirror" trope, and if you look at the 3D model on Mecabricks, you'll see that I've actually built the scene twice - a regular version and a mirrored version.
N-class in its standing configuration, prepared to be piloted by Areif N'rai and his astromech droid C1-K1R7.
Tired of back flipping your buggy on steep Moon crater walls? Fed up with flopping into canals on Mars? Worried about a sudden gravity reversal whilst exploring Venusian lava tubes?
Simply fit your rover's chassis to Llwyngwril Systems' safety frame and forget your space-driving worries.
(Angry aliens from Pluto pushing you over sideways is NOT covered by any warrantees with this device.)
It's that time again.
The time when I redo the 6927 All Terrain Vehicle.
I've tried to keep closer to 'system' on this one. Less greebles, less feeble!

Meh?

A lot of the dark green bricks don't exist in the real world but I was having fun with this one! I imagine it is the big Bentley of the hovercar world: loud, raucous and fast; just like its owner.
Yay!
Here comes the AmaTron Sol Prime Delivery Micro Screw Tank!

There's no better way to spend those credits stuck out on Outpost Luna 7.

I promise it's my last screw tank for a while.
I just had to do something with paint-rollers

A design of small, fast and highly manoeuvrable space pods. The little ships featured panels that could be extended or retracted as needed. These mirco-ships proved a cheap and popular solution for many pilots across the galactic disc.

The shape and colour of this spacecraft was inspired by a design by Laurent Palmier on Artstation. if you enjoy colourful spaceship then his work very well worth going to look at.
I've built this model for the "Build From the Heart" Challenge on LEGO IDEAS.
And this build actually does come from my heart. I've built very freely, while listening to love songs (or more generally songs about love) - I generally have a more "serious" and focused approach when I build Lego creations.
Technique-wise, it's very simple. I think the most complex bit is the pair of foldable feet, that let you display the model on a shelf.
Also I initially wanted to have brick-built silhouettes, but I ultimately thought minifigures would be a better choice as they can be easily customized (the model provides various hair pieces), or replaced by figures that look like you or your loved one.

A 10x10 all terrain vehicle, suitable for transporting all manner of material but especially large cake tins (for large cakes). The perfect accompaniment for yesterday's tea caddy.
Yay !t's Febrovery!

Many poorly performing products aren't the fault of engineers or designers but of conflicting requirements. The original design of the Aero Buggy was for a slick, aerodynamic vehicle which would cut through the vacuum of space in a fuel efficient manner. Then the requirement for it to climb the steep walls of lunar craters was added and so the "monster truck" style running gear was added.
Despite this, the Aero Buggy proved popular amongst spacemen. This was due to its smooth ride over rough terrain and its windscreen, which kept the moon dust off the driver.
From the dark tombs of ancient Osirion, the jungle temples of Darkest Yafran, the mysterious mountains of Xinhai, and the harrowing Perceptan dinosaur islands, there is only one man who could lead the expedition beyond the ice walls. Johnny Thunder.

Always beware the unexpected rapping of a brass knocker against the cold exterior. Who could it possibly be, at this hour? You expect no one, but in a world not your own, the innocent can be quite disruptive...
First finished build in quite a while, this has been a work in progress for many months. Would've been ideal to finish around Halloween, but better late than never!
C&C Welcome!

The Llwyngwril Systems' Tumbler was an almost perfect solution to back-flips, front-flips and staircases (take note Daleks!). Sadly it was still not proof against angry aliens from Pluto trying to push you over sideways.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've checked and there's enough clearance for the central part to spin all around. It'll be interesting to build a real one and see how it rolls down a staircase!
