most Saturdays get too busy.
then, from time to time, there is the exception. A precious day like today, when I haven't got anything that I HAVE to do. And the weather is miserable. So I can blissfully stay in my lair, building...
Azelia Town is a rich town with a economy based of farming and fishing being the only exporters of a special fish.
These cranes could also relocate existing generic pre-fab office buildings to other locations where per-square-foot rents were higher.
I'm kind of combining the techniques and looks from this picture by Zeekhotep. This is an update of an old picture with bad lighting taken back in 2010.

A product of years of modification, The Daresay'd is a half-freighter, half-gunship of meticulous and difficult design. The reactor runs right through the middle, four independently tiltable engines slaved closely to it, able to transfer power to it and each other at will. The pilot and the co-pilot sit in rather cramped conditions above this set-up, the latter responsible solely for power management and boost manipulation. Carrying on the theme, the ship has two tracking ion turrets, effective against fighters, other gunships and smaller capital vessels.
The personal steed of the Dread Pirate Val'sofilees, The Daresay'd is spoken of in hushed tones throughout the fringes of the galaxy. Sometimes travelling alone, but often with two highly trained swingwing outriders, most freighter captains drop their cargo and run at the sight of the ship's IFF signal alone.
I found some more pink lattice in a random lot from eBay the other day, so decided to expand Belville Place with another tower and a sunken garden for the residents to relax in, now bringing it to a whole block. Build Feb '18. Ref: D1524-222

The 'Saint existed for twenty years as a diplomatic courier, moving information and people between the Core Worlds with limited excitement or incident.
Whilst in the process of turning a scrapyard on Triton into a smelting complex, the industrial magnate Charles Sebastian Forbes discovered the wreck of the 'Saint and commissioned the shipsmiths of Saturn to rescue and refurbish it into his own personal launch. As his businesses expanded into the lawless Galactic Rim, the sturdy Ivory Saint kept the trillionaire and his entourage safe and sound.
Manufacturer: SolSpaceWorks

Armament: 2 micro-missile launchers (1 forward firing, 1 aft-firing)
Defenses: Duranium Armour Plate, Positronic Shielding.
I made this microscale version of the LEGO set 1592 in 2004. At that time there was some kind of challenge going on on 1000steine.de - the idea was to make different version of this set.

mini modular4 Pet Shop (building study in 4 x 8 fashion)
Its still far from original modular Pet Shop.
I have not get success to hidaway the inner structure of the 1st floor stairway entrancethat is made of 5 plate width. I hope "1 x 2 tile with door rail" is officialy released...
The 2nd floor is too monotony. The 3rd floor as well...
I have to find out how to make better presentation.
It was the result of a long discussion with Lego Monster about aircraft carriers and whether it would be possible to build realistic jets on a smaller scale than I normally do. I think the answer is affirmative, but not without a few headaches.
When Hyperion Industries released their X1-A25 "Wasp", it quickly became the standard for fighter craft. Two modified artillery cannons were bolted onto a novel platform that enabled a three-person crew to make devastating attacks against other fightercraft and even, in one instance, a T-59 destroyer. It remains a potent weapon to this day.

This is about the limit of my building skills :P
Thought I'd try a microscale mediaval build, and this is the result.
Slight angle shot of the Eureka Tower showing the offset side towers and the gold top a little clearer
This is a way scaled down version of this www.flickr.com/photos/30186055@N07/3254921062/
Inspired by Magnus Lauglo, Aleksander Stein, Chandler Parker, and Mike Yoder I have created a microscale modern army faction. Still a WIP but I like the colors and look so far. Still hoping to add support vehicles and aircraft soon. Also, better pictures are on the list as I took these on my phone on my way out the door this morning.
mini modular3 Grand Emporium Annex
"By success of Grand Emporium, the shop owner made a decision to make the Annex to expand the market for more younger generations. -Bricksville Times-"

Imagine an ancient fortification taken over and expanded by a dark power.
A study in angles, snot and windowmaking, but really I wanted to build a big fat castle!

The Chrysler Building has always been my favourite skyscraper, and I have wanted to build a Lego model of it for a long time. I initially intended this model to be to scale with the official Empire State Building Architecture set, but due to the difference in size between the two buildings, I decided to build it in a slightly larger scale so that the models would look good next to each other on display.
I am not 100% happy with the upper crown/spire section, and will no doubt continue to tinker with it.
I originally built this model in Jan/Feb 2020.
I had a blast building these ships with my little bros. It was hard because we've never really had the experience of building at micro scale, but it was fun! I think however, that some of the ships are cooler in our head than they are in real life haha
The Chinese had a civil war over it too; "off with his head!" as a general punishment eventually leads to dissenters and petty criminals deciding to become revolutionaries, on the grounds that they're dead anyway and they might just be able to fight their way out.
The quads are eighty tonner Garmr or Garmar; I'm not sure on Old Norse plurals. Think the latter is correct, and they're all centuries dead so it doesn't much matter, but eh.
The big bipeds are seventy tonne Anastasius' - I'm fuzzy on given name plurals too, I think they just use an apostrophe.
The teeny ones are a bit complex; the ones with four weapons are Silver Wolves, the one with the left side binoculars is a Scarlet Wolf, and the one with the big gun is a Cobalt Wolf.
The familiar middle-sized bipeds with the shoulder cannon are fifty tonne Flamberges; to get an idea of what kind of conflict the Uncivil War was, Flamberge units quite often had loss rates above 300%.
Of course, part of that is because they were short range machines intended to go up against Furies.
Think I managed to sort out the rendering; these certainly have the glossy look of real black bricks.
