The Super 'Raveler with direct, artillery, and hand-to-hand systems.
Still distracted by Vitor Faria's Traveler class light frame and the solid combination of budget and good looks, I looked at increasing the budget-focus by replacing the taps and claws. The 'Raveler relies on a lot of 1x1 round plate single stud connections so it's a little fiddly, but all my experimenting yielded a LOT of variations on how to build a 'Raveler so pretty much anyone with a reasonable amount of Lego should be able to build some frames and play MFZ.
This LDD file contains a base 'Raveler, all the core frame variations, and LOTS of options for bulking it out.
This is one of my contributions to InnovaLUG's latest collaborative build, Space Spheres. See more in this blog post on the InnovaLUG website.
Finally digitized this creation. It has a few more fixes, namely a more clear interior, folding fins, better guns, and rear landing gear. The arms also move up and down at the shoulder area slightly but I forgot to animate that. There are instructions for this model here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-47640/TheRealBeef1213/prowler
here is a animation of the new pods in action: imgur.com/8LIaAfc
This photo features some of my own LEGO Soccer players trying out the new mini field! Before the LEGO women's team set came out, I scrounged together enough long hair pieces to make my own Team Canada and Team USA. The yellowing of the white legs is, uhhhhh, very apparent after 20+ years.
Microscale transport shuttle. I'm not going to worry about getting the bumblebee stripes in these little ones - I'll put them in if I do an upscale version.
feels like ages since I've built anything but it's only a couple of months. Anyway, I managed to find the time, and the actual will, to build this little set, inspired by brutalist architecture.
Hope you like it.
and, as usual, you'll find more pics in my photostream
I wanted to build something with non-90-degree wings, and this is what I came up with. Originally just a nondescript building, my wife came home and said "Nice Hospital". I then added the H on the roof and the emergency entrance.
Join Tommy in this wonderfull live build. Today it's nanofighter time... only 6 parts for that
Second build for NerdVember !
Enjoy :)
Should have been flying out to Florida this week for a family trip to Disney. Been planning it for two years. Obviously there are more serious things going on than me missing out on a family holiday, but it's still made me a little glum. Decided to try and capture a little Disney magic in bricks if I can't do it in person.
Just a little semi to haul some stuff for the mobile crane to lift.
For more photos, see the full set.
Old fashioned, literally rough and ready container transport making friends, enemies and profits through the lawless frontier.

Harry, Ron and Hermione come back to Hogwarts for a new year. They took the Hogwarts Carriage at Hogsmeade. It is pulled by Thestrals, skeletal winged horses that only people who have seen death can see.
------------------------------------------
I tried something new in this new creation: the perspective (and microscale): the carriage is getting smaller and smaller on the scene. To the left, the trees are following the perspective and are getting smaller and smaller . To the right, the trees are on the first plan, so they can't be on the scale of perspective.
At the center, i built a microscale Hogwarts.
------------------------------------------
The perspective give me the possibilty to build a landscape without using billion of bricks.
It was the first time that I had used perspective and microscale. It's up to you to tell me if it's successful.
I still have to improve myself on it to produce new creations
------------------------------------------
See you soon for a next creation

Here's my attempt at a microscale build of Red Spacecat's USS Saratoga Destroyer.
I didn't have enough bright green cheese, so olive green will have to do. Some details aren't quite right, but its challenging to condense a SHIP into 16 studs long.
This is sized to be compatible with Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit
[If anybody has ANY critiques about my build or especially my photography and lighting, PLEASE let me know :) It would be most appreciated. I need to improve on both.]
From left to right: Support unit (sniper); soldier unit; command unit; soldier unit; close combat unit.
All variants on the Landmate Mk2 Assault Version.
The poorness of the photo should serve as a reminder to me that I really, really need to build a much bigger lightbox. Like, one that will actually fit more than two tiny mecha, for example.
Typical accomodation for humankind within the developed Core Worlds. Designed in the circular style of Alanis Ferr, this type of home was popular on new colonies like New Kansas.
The main level has the panoramic view whilst storage and bedrooms tend to be above and below the windowed section.
this is not just another microscale suburban street. No. this is inspired by an item in the news some time ago, see BBC News
:-)
Built for New Elementary Parts Festival, inspired by the Duomos of Florence and Milan.
See here for details on parts usage and build process.
This was a challenge I made for myself: make a microscale Tantive IV using as many pieces as possible from Ambush in Cairo. I'm happy with how it turned out.
Appearing without The Dominos
Ya gotta be an oldie to remember them, Derek and The Dominos (and an Eric Clapton fan ) XD
Washburn is the US capital city of New Kansas, Kepler System. True to it’s namesake, New Kansas is a fertile farming world from which a wide variety of crops are cultivated and animals raised. Settlements range from small, old fashioned farms to large, mechanised outposts of synchronised machines and technology.
Washburn is the hub for all manner of activity; business, education and pleasure. It is the port by which New Kansas feeds a large proportion of the Core Worlds. The city is home to several of the top biochemical and veterinary colleges of their kind. A giant spaceport sits on the outskirts of the city, big enough to accommodate the larger interplanetary barges for the transfer of crops and livestock. There is also quite the lively nightlife; most of these bars and cantinas centre around the American Cool Revival trend. They feature music and décor reminiscent of American days gone by.
There exists a quiet acrimony the settlers who reside solely within Washburn and the more isolated farmers. The latter consider their city-based fellows stuck-up and pretentious. The former consider the farming population crass and uncultured.
The city is home to the New Kansas Senator, when she is not involved in democratic discussions back on Earth. Although officially neutral during the Pan-Eurasian War, several of the large farmers sold food to the under-siege Coalition population of Kepler II. One side of the story paints the farmers as saving the lives of starving children. The reality was that rich agricultural groups made huge profits breaking a neutrality clause set by the government. The US investigation into the food smuggling found no person or organisation culpable is considered a whitewash by the Coalition.
the rear view of a contemporary looking row of townhouses. Complete with railway at the end of the garden.
The front view is here and, I'm afraid, I'll upload lots more pics in the next few days ...
