One of the most important landmarks of the european ancient legacy. Its not an exact reproduction like the official set, but the proportions with the real building are similar.
Others may now it as the Poison Citadel.
This will be my brother-n-law's birthday present, hopefully he likes it as much I liked my present. Heavily influenced by the Skeksis's Castle. There's a couple of parts to finish it off and I will print a title for the base as well.
I'm actually thinking of scaling this up, probably to 50-60 studs. I really like the colour scheme: black bridge up the front, light bley spine with white mission pods on lateral hardpoints.
The Cerberus - named so for it's three bulbed viewscreen up front - is the standard issue American dropship and short haul troop transport. It has adaptable, VTOL style thrusters and is easy to fly in open space and atmosphere both but come unstuck during an attack on the 'undercity' of Yystret IV shortly after it's rollout to the USEF.
Up until this mission the Cerberus had a faultless operational record, but the USEF special forces were overconfident in it's ability to operate in the confines of a half-buried city. In reality, the three ships had to drop their troops two klicks from their target and this exposed the SEAL team to enemy fire and a hostile approach. The vessels were fired upon and one crashed whilst trying to remain on station during the mission, whilst the remaining two struggled to reach the landing zone for evacuation.
The manufacturers were quick to shift blame onto poor tactical decisions for this outcome but such a warning did little to prevent a slowdown in military orders. The USEF built the mission into their virtual combat training protocols as a challenge for graduating pilots to prevent and escape; most candidates fail and are marked on how well they deal with catastrophe.
Several updates were issued to software and hydraulics to improve reliability into the Fourth Age and the Cerberus sees use with the US Marines and some of the boarding and landing forces of the USEF. Although the stock version is unarmed, it is nimble and armoured enough to survive in heavy fire zones with the right type of escort.
Microscale build made for the recent 1h build challenge on my Discord server The Workshop, themed "Reclamation".
On the topic of this build, applications for my latest community project "Atlas" - a post-apocalyptic map & points based RPG - are open until the 14th of July.
It's a 2-week testing phase so if you're interested in helping figuring out a balanced experience, feel free to join my Discord and apply there.
Well, that tears it then. This tablescrap has convinced me this S.H.I.P.tember will be a medium azure affair. It's just too awesome a colour to ignore any further. After all, I think we can all agree medium azure is the best Lego colour there is...
Considering this represents my entire inventory of medium azure and teal, some Cracklinking will be necessary.
A concept of The Beaches in Toronto, ON - Canada. Based on my larger scale MOC flic.kr/p/oi3iYw
Started this MOC last year when I first used the Unikitty tail as waves and the Seasick Kitty horn as trees. Ordered more horns through LUGBULK and finally completed this!
(Yes the palm trees are cut whips, sue me)
One of the more dynamic looking starships on the market, the arrowhead shaped armed courier is a popular choice for individuals transporting high value, low volume goods.
This was part of my Lego club's layout at our exhibition last weekend. We had tons of extravagant once-per-city buildings but almost no housing so I came up with some low-key apartment buildings.
I've been making progress again after spinning my wheels on this thing for a while. The front module is almost done, and I've made significant progress on the center module. Current stats 85 studs long, 47 studs wide, 45 studs high. It will roughly double in length before it's done.
UPDATE: This model is now complete.
I like to imagine a main character anti-hero ambiguous villain mecha coming in and blowing everything up with a single itano circus. 'Cause you know, that's why we build ships- micromissiles gotta hit somethin'
A few things I abandoned due to the ten parts restriction. Each idea has merits but I think they deserve a proper build and not such a harsh piece count restriction just for the sake of it. From left: Observatory (kinda too similar to one I did previously), rocket launch from secret mountain silo, nuclear reactor construction, baseball field and Pacific nuke test.
Small build for the 12x12 Brickscalibur category.
I wanted to do more with this build, but I just ran out of time. Might update or delete it later if I feel like it.
A combination of all my micropolis modules so far. I've noticed thus far, I've only built modules fit for a small town, not a bustling metropolis. Perhaps I'll try my hand at some skyscrapers one day, but for now I like detailing the minutiae of small town living. You can see all of these at Brickfair VA 2013. Hope to see you there!
This is a representation of what Conwy looked like in its heyday. One of my favourite historical sites. I'm hoping to build a running range of British castles in this scale.
Inspired by the LEGO Set 5770, I created this little lighthouse model. It is my first 'freestyle creation' and there is no original model for it.
MicroboTs return! 😁 This little cute robot will team up with his micro friends. 100 mm tall as usual
My latest spooky microscale build! Hope you like it!
