Un bâtiment rouge et blanc ça change.
Inspiré par la rue du copain Jérôme (jive69mocs.blogspot.fr/p/city.html) que j'ai fait pour la Briqu'expo en Combrailles.
Je l'ai conçu pour qu'il soit compatible avec ma caserne Ghostbuster.
The tires are from an older attempt to build a vehicle. Sorta salvaged them off of it and used them as bases here.
From here.
An upgrade to the Tiny Turbo version of my larger fictional Ferrari LMP1 car. Finally found a way to get the shaping I wanted on the sides.
Just fiddling around with a Cold War-esque mecha. Started out as being for Mobile Frame Zero, but it is a little too large (in my view, others might not think so.) Still in 7-plate scale, though. Based loosely on the skeleton of this.
The L27 mobile anti-tank gun was introduced into British service in 1959, primarily to provide rapid anti-tank capability against Soviet forces attacking through the Fulda Gap.
Armed with a slightly updated version of the WW2 era 6-pounder Molins Gun and a folding-fin version of the Malkara missile, the L27 was intended to replace towed AT guns operated by the Royal Artillery.
Although it never saw combat use in its intended environment, the vehicle was used in the Konfrontasi in Malaysia/Indonesia and during the Aden Emergency. In both cases, it was manifestly unsuited to the environments it was asked to work in. Some Australian units in Malaysia achieved slight success in replacing the 6-pounder gun with jury rigged cannon from disabled combat aircraft (most frequently the quad 30mm ADEN gun pack from crashed Hawker Hunters.)
Heavily upgraded in the 1970s, the unit received an improved sensor package (the valve technology sensor turret of the 1950s was rugged but bulky), the obsolete Malkaras were replaced with Swingfire missiles, and a Martin-Baker 0 0 ejection seat for the pilot was added. The last L27 squadron was disbanded shortly after the end of the 1990-91 Gulf War.
Welcome to Hogsmeade!
It includes all the main features of Hogsmeade; The Three Witches, Honeydukes, Zonko's, The Boar's Head, Tomes and Scrolls, and last but not least the Butterbeer wagon!
Wish I could have spent a lot more time on it, but I was really pressed for time. I want to add a few more things in but I am happy with the result regardless.
Another load of firsts for me with this build, it was great learning experience.
Thanks for following me along with this project :D

The Gnobo planetary forces come with a fearsome reputation. Recruits are trained for months in the mountain ranges that criss-cross their home planet; they are at home fighting on unwelcoming terrain. They are moulded into proud warriors who rarely give up or give in. The TAV-6 (Tracked Armoured Vehicle) exemplifies this fighting style and spirit.
The vehicle's torque, power and adaptability stem from its four independent drive tracks. These allow the TAV to traverse a wide variety of weather and ground unimpeded. What it lacks in high straight-line speed it more than makes up for with its ability to manoeuvre at pace.
The armour is thick and cleverly constructed; only the most advanced armour-piercing shells can penetrate in one shot. Like most tracked vehicles, however, it remains vulnerable on its underside to mines and other explosives.
The TAV is armed with the same fragmentation cannons as the S-91 Gun Skiff, meaning it can deliver significant damage on a variety of targets. The high-calibre guns are least accurate when targeting infantry, leading tank crews to request troops to 'close escort' the TAV. This usually involves four troops sat atop of the armoured shell to protect against enemy infantry. This is considered a plum assignment, as it means the escorting troops are saved many miles of marching across unfavourable terrain.
The first iteration (TAV-1) was deployed during the Gnobo invasion of Illayko territory, where its rugged reliability and thick armour gave the invaders an edge. A large number were destroyed from orbit during the Battle of Ompolor VII, the remainder were airlifted out ahead of the Illayko counter-attack.
Three Micro-scale buildings in Washington, DC that I built with inspiration from models by Arthur Gugick and J.M. Collaco. I've taken the best from those and incorporated in to mine. Enjoy!
It's been awhile since I built a microscale spaceship. They're great for when you don't have a lot of time to build, but want to get something accomplished. They're also great for using small, but really cool looking pieces.
A fun little micro helicopter inspired by various others, notably Wiseman_Lego's and chandlerparker's. Oh, and a Chinook flew past my house today! :)

Technically this is a bit of a bend in the rules for the competition, but everyone else was making these, so I had a go too.
I'll leave it up to you guys to tag the vehicles you recognise. If you recognise any, that is!
Here is the latest creation of my 6 years old son.
This is the first of a series of 24 ship coming from Star Wars Universe.
All ships inclued all the staff
he has been inspired by a moc seen on flickr. The member moc the Death Star and all the staff ! (check Marin Stipkovic work ; www.flickr.com/photos/marinstipkovic/5136266860/in/set-72... )
Since I feel that real spacecraft, satellites, rockets and so on are a bit underrepresented in the Lego community, I created a group for MOCs related to astronautics:

I'm not a fan of mass invites, so please just join if you are also enthusiastic about Space!
I've already sent out a bunch of invites for photos to add to the pool, if you have some suggestions yourself there is a thread for that in the group.
(Galactic Civil War Era) Used by the Rebel Alliance and many other dubious groups throughout the galaxy.
Just a slight variation on my earlier mini X-wing build really.
Huge disparities exist within the universe. Although developed societies travel through space and do myriad amazing things with technology, the individuals and groups on the Galactic Rim have more urgent problems to worry about, and very little cash and tech with with to deal with them.
Colonists on Axila VII needed a craft which could work on the half of the planet made of water, the tiny part made of land and the remainder made of swamp. The Old Earth idea of a hovercraft was just perfect.
The designers of the 'Seadog'-class of craft released the blueprints onto the ExtraNet and it has become exceptionally throughout the Rim. This most proliferated design uses a rear-mounted repulsor-push generator and a hover-cushion made from a alloy-polymer blend. Flexible enough to perform on various terrains, but tough enough not to puncture.
With a minimum crew of two, the second member there to operate the energy turret, the 'Seadog' is an adaptable and affordable solution to terrestrial transport, logistics and often combat.
Length: 14m
Crew: 2 (1 pilot, 1 gunner). Upto 12 passengers.
Manufacturer: Various groups.
Role: Transport, patrol, combat.
Armament: 1 x Anti-Vehicle Cannon (turreted)
Maximum velocity: 81mph
Operational Range: 200 miles.
Micropolis section with a large water tower. Also includes a building, utility vehicle, and security post.

Professor Lidenbrock, Axel and Hans are on their way to the center of the earth. But the road is not so calm.
"Suddenly, at no great distance from us, an enormous mass rises out of the waters—the head of the great Plesiosaurus. The terrible monster is now wounded unto death. I can see nothing now of his enormous body. All that could be distinguished was his serpent-like neck, which he twisted and curled in all the agonies of death. Now he struck the waters with it as if it had been a gigantic whip, and then again wriggled like a worm cut in two. The water was spurted up to a great distance in all directions. A great portion of it swept over our raft and nearly blinded us. But soon the end of the beast approached nearer and nearer; his movements slackened visibly; his contortions almost ceased; and at last the body of the mighty snake lay an inert, dead mass on the surface of the now calm and placid waters.
As for the Ichthyosaurus, has he gone down to his mighty cavern under the sea to rest, or will he reappear to destroy us?" Jules Verne.

Introducing concept build:
I think some people have come to value "technique", i.e., SNOT, "NPUUUUU", tiling every damn stud (TEDS) over the actual form and aesthetics of what they are building.
This was purposefully a lo-fi build. It is one of the largest things I have built, but it also has one of the lowest part/volume ratios. I wanted to quickly convey a concept with some bricks I had on hand rather than flesh out everything to the last greeblie. Most everything is is studs-up.
Exploring the deepest reaches of space.
(Oddly, my absolute favorite micro-ship so far. Maybe it's the colors, which remind me of submersibles like Jason -- thus the ship name. Inverted tipper as hull idea blatantly ripped off of Pierre.)
I made the original version of this MOC for a contest a while ago, but the picture was kinda blurry and I thought I should modify it a little. The main differences are the display stand of course (which now looks more like the UCS set), and the base structure especially. Other than a few color changes here and there, it's pretty much the same. I just wanted a better picture.
Took me a couple hours' build time over two days, plus modifications afterwards.
