In replicating this fifth-gen stealth fighter, I was aiming for:
– Smooth: nearly studless in form.
– Integrated: packing in a host of features.
– Fresh: incorporating new pieces and techniques.
and of course, purist! (at least, for now; I may experiment with designing some Marine Corps liveries on waterslide decals for mere aesthetic decoration that denotes the squadron affiliation…)
The 1:40 scale replica includes:
– Opening cockpit that holds pilot, control panel, and joystick
– Hidden weapon bays in fuselage for stealth missions
– Optional exterior loadout for air-to-ground attacks
– Retracting landing gear that supports the model
– Opening flaps, rotating fan blades, and tilting vector nozzle for VTOL
– Stable Technic display stand and brick-built name plaque.
This is the first MOC I’ve finished in about five years (during which I completed my university degree, got my full-time career job, moved out, got married, and a few other things), after working on it off-and-on for at least three years. [The real-life aircraft has suffered from its own extensive delays in design / production, so I guess it could be worse where my LEGO one is concerned. XD]
A big thank-you to everyone who has inspired me along the way, including special acknowledgements to AFOL friends like the Chiles family and Eli Willsea for helping rekindle my joy in the hobby; Brickmania, for showing me a few new hinge techniques that I incorporated during these last few months of the design process; and especially my lovely wife Natalie who, bless her heart, has allowed the dining room of our tiny apartment to serve as my building studio and encouraged me to use it more often as such!
Let me know what you guys think!
The original - I am not sure why I find these symettry images so personally satisfying - my brain must be wierd

"Simplistic elegance"
The entry-level option available from Cipher's stable. The Ayvūir forgoes the fancy aerodynamic and exotic shape shifting materials in favor of a lighthearted and enjoyable purist experience. The Ayvūir could be called analog in a sense that it does not take a team of experienced technicians to maintain it like modern vehicles, as repairs and moderate levels of maintenance can easily and singlehandedly be completed by the mechanically inclined. Cipher designed the Ayvūir to be easy to live with, but at the same time a force to be reckoned with. Whereas the C1 is an uncompromising beast focused on devouring circuits, the Ayvūir dials the aggression down for a balanced nature of comfort anytime you require it and performance every time you desire it.
Created with a mid-front engined layout, the Ayvūir is a rare treat in the world of mostly mid-rear engined supercars. In order to be competitive in the segment, the Ayvūir is almost entirely constructed out of carbon fiber. Cipher opted to reap performance gains by using more composite materials throughout the Ayvūir's build than intended; like carbon body panels, bonnet, roof, seats, interior trim, underbody, and most importantly a carbon monocoque; most of which were initially to be made of aluminum. The Ayvūir does not have an active aerodynamic system, but compensates with a passive system in the forms of a sculpted underbody and flow-through air channels that direct air flow entering from behind the front wheels, through molded channels in the door sills of the monocoque and out on to the rear diffuser. The roof of the Ayvūir has a gradual curved rake that ends on a tapered edge; a modern callback to the teardrop designs of the twentieth century.
The Ayvūir makes due with a brutish 800 horsepower turbocharged 5.0 L V8 that has the same basic architecture as the protean engine of the C1 when it grows to displace 5 liters. Cipher decided to not build the Ayvūir's engine, turbos, or transmission with the Adaptive Aluminum alloy featured in the C1 series because the current means of producing the shape-shifting aluminum is limited, and would not only make the Ayvūir redundant in terms of performance, but the price would be just a few thousand short of the C1.
Cipher's WonderGuard clear coat developed for the C1 makes its return on the Ayvūir. The polymer mimics fibroblasts found in organisms and automatically heals itself in a matter of seconds whenever light cosmetic damage occurs such as scrapes and slashes, keeping the body of the Ayvūir blemish free. Maintaining the body as smooth as possible aides with aerodynamics by having the airflow be as uninterrupted and "clean" as possible. Cipher replicated the regenerative properties of WonderGuard with glass. Dubbed CrystalGuard, the glass used on the entirety of the Ayvūir can regenerate from any non-catastrophic damage. Impairments such as hairline cracks, spiderweb fractures, and impact chips heal within minutes. CrystalGuard is also applied on the tempered glass covers used for the head/tail lights and even the door mirrors.
Replicating Batman from the 90s cartoon is a bit more difficult than you'd think because of his colors. I mean, sometimes his cape and cowl are black, sometimes they have dark blue highlights. The inside lining of his cape is definably blue, though. This pic shows the weirdness of his colors. So, would this minifig here make the best BTAS Batman, or should it just stay all blue?

Replicating Red Necks
Despite its chilling temperatures, the Arctic tundra is a hotbed of reproduction. Many avian species, like the Red-necked Phalarope seen flying across frigid waters, seem oblivious to the cold, and, in fact, fly from potentially warmer waters to the Alaskan tundra to breed each summer season. For many, it is the only time that they spend significant time on land. Many pass the winter months out at sea and out of sight for most humans. It’s a wet and chilling concept for landlubbers like us, but is it the norm for these animals. The effects of global warming and Arctic drilling have yet to be determined. Most certainly, oil spills could spell disaster for some species that depend upon finite areas for their reproduction. Spills in the Arctic would be almost impossible to clean up, leading to death and destruction on epic scales. Perhaps we need to temper our red necked ways when it comes to exploring for petroleum in vital areas of the globe. #RedNeckedPhalarope

Pirates of the Caribbean
"Pirates of the Caribbean was envisioned in the early 1950s as a walk-through wax museum at Disneyland that would have featured depictions of real pirates in static scenes. Instead, Disney Imagineers utilized the technological breakthroughs achieved in the company's four pavilions at the 1964–65 World's Fair to transform the attraction into a boat ride through environments filled with fictional Audio-Animatronic pirates ransacking a Caribbean seaport. Its theme song, "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)", sets a light-hearted tone for characters who were violent in reality.
The last Disney theme park attraction designed with input from Walt Disney, it opened in its original form in New Orleans Square at Disneyland on March 18, 1967. Since then, it has been replicated in different forms at three subsequent Disney theme parks—Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort (August 6, 1973), Tokyo Disneyland (April 15, 1983) and Disneyland Paris (August 6, 1992)." - source - Wiki
Here's my take on what could be the most recognizable dark ride scene in all of WDW.
A scene replicating what could possibly have been witnessed at Derby roundhouse in the traction transitional period 1962-63 when 43106 was allocated to Saltley, Wellingborough and Kettering sheds, with a 204hp shunter on the turntable. Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 43106 brews up (not precisely aligned under the 'smoke jack'!) on Barrow Hill shed on 23 September 2015.

The Cloud Forest replicates the cool moist conditions found in tropical mountain regions between 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level, found in South-East Asia, Middle- and South America. It features a 42-metre (138 ft) "Cloud Mountain", accessible by an elevator, and visitors will be able to descend the mountain via a circular path where a 35-metre (115 ft) waterfall provides visitors with refreshing cool air.
The "cloud mountain" itself is an intricate structure completely clad in epiphytes such as orchids, ferns, peacock ferns, spike- and clubmosses, bromeliads and anthuriums. It consists of a number of levels, each with a different theme.

‘It’s time’: Anacortes port commissioners look to raze historic downtown building.
The Port of Anacortes Commission is set to vote next month on whether to demolish the historic Marine Supply and Hardware Building. “Everyone that's gone through it has said the same thing: It is not a safe building," Commissioner Bonnie Bowers said.
Plans for Marine Supply & Hardware in Anacortes
involve its closure due to severe building safety issues and the Port of Anacortes deciding against costly repairs, with the adjacent historic Olson Building slated for demolition and replacement with workforce housing, though efforts continue to salvage historical elements and preserve the legacy of the site. The Port of Anacortes will not invest in the building and supports the Housing Authority's new construction, potentially incorporating salvaged materials and designs mimicking the original structure to maintain historic character.
Key Developments
Closure: The physical store closed in mid-2024 after the Port, citing major structural concerns and huge repair estimates (millions of dollars), asked the business to vacate.
Building Fate: The Port is proceeding with plans to demolish the old buildings, including the historic Olson Building and the Marine Supply & Hardware building, to make way for workforce housing.
Future Design: The new housing project aims to replicate the look of the historic buildings, with plans to incorporate salvaged materials and design elements from the original structures.
Historic Preservation: While the buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, the listing is honorary, allowing demolition, but preservation advocates are working with the Port to honor the site's history.
Next Steps
Demolition Approvals: The Port is working through the necessary State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review process for demolition.
Replication of "Ol Spot Mortimer's" cabin originally constructed in 1869 at this site. Mortimer, a shoemaker from New York, came to Dakota Territory after hearing stories of the rich fur trade in the Big Sioux Valley. In 1869, he found his way to Oakwood Lake and discovered a trapper's paradise. Otter, beaver, mink, muskrat, and fox were abundant. Mortimer built this cabin and lived here for the next five years.
By 1874, Mortimer experienced declining harvests from his traplines. Turning his attention to the areas valuable timber, he built a sawmill and played an important role in providing the lumber for building houses and area businesses.
After the death of his wife, Mortimer left Oakwood Lakes and moved to Yankton, Dakota Territory. He later re-married and returned to the cabin. Later in 1886, he sold the cabin and 1,200 acres for $1,800. (Story from a sign at the cabin).
My attempt to replicate the most-produced fully tracked armoured German fighting vehicle during World War II. Commonly known as the StuG III, it started its career as mobile assault gun but quickly revealed itself as an excellent tank destroyer.
This StuG III Ausf. G is an early production model and this can be seen by the gun mantlet shape and the absence of machine gun on top of the roof.
My model is inspired by the various existing models (BrickMania, Custom-Bricks...). Stickers are from BKM and CB, tracks are from CB. Minifig is from BKM.

One of the many fascinating projects I was involved in, as London Underground's Design & Heritage Manager, was conservation and restoration of many of the historic structures that the Tube owns and still operates. Out of over 275 stations over 80 are statutorially Listed, including this one, many more are Locally Listed and nearly all have some Heritage Features as assessed by London Underground itself.
Many stations still have faience facades of a type of construction that the Central London Railway (1900) and the Underground Electric Railways of London (1905/6 and later) utilised. The Metropolitan Railway also used faience on many of its early 20th Century reconstructions.
The basic construction methodology is sound - the use of load bearing steel framework and a cloak of effectively mass produced faience blocks - in this case made in Leeds by the Burmantofts Works of the Leeds Fireclay Company. However, some defects can occur if the facade is not waterproof, when moisture meets the steelwork, corrodes and spalls, or if the fireskin of the faience blocks themselves is damaged (such as through hole drilling or physocal damage). The latter tends to invite frost freeze and thaw, further destroying the material.
At South Kensington the issues were compounded by the removal, several decades earlier, of any internal wall finishes when the ticket hall and lift landings. along with the lify shaft, were stripped out for use as a passive ventilation shaft. Some earlier spot repairs, using 'plastic' fillers over wire mesh and coloured resin fillers had also started to fail badly - these tend to be prone to UV failure. All in all the structure and facade was a mess - and first we had to gain Listed Building Consent to undertake intrusive surveys and condition surveys to see what was actually going on.
To cut a long story short we realised we needed to physically reconstruct almost 85 - 90% of the facade, such was the deterioration of the sub-strate and the facade. We had undertaken similar work on other stations and so were able to call on expert manufacturers (Darwen Faience & Terracotta) and construction contractors. The manufacturing of new blocks is not simple as you have to allow for shrinkage in firing, colour matching older and now illegal glazes along with firing temperature variations in colour. To ensure a lack of uniformity - as you don't actually want a 'blank' colour the manufacturer has to also consider glaze weight. The setting out has to be precise - no 'cutting' like tiles, and the new blocks were correctly back-filled with inert packing and tied structurally back to new substrate. All in all - a helluva job and I'm still pleased as punch with it. It was and to some building conservators still is contentious as traditonal restoration aims to reatin as much original material as possible. However on highly used buildings such as these I am of the view that when such structures are life-expired options such as careful recreation, with a full understanding of the materials, architectural detail, integrity and context are weighed against retention (some 15% of the original is still here) then this is a valid approach.
Replicating a night owl in its intensity and ferocity. OK, maybe not the ferocity bit.
We're Here looks at Night Owls today.
Replicating a late 1950's photo of how tight Ranelagh Bridge Service Depot was, here a couple of GW's Express Loco's are squeezed in between the Sub Station on the right, with the Mews to the left.
Towering over it all is GW's Records Office.
In OO gauge I've had to truncate it's width but it slides in nicely to finish off that corner.
The fire escape was made using 'H' section plastic strip coupled with the cut down step sections from an ancient Hornby Footbridge I bought at a rail show. Unfortunately, the hand rails from the kit won't work as they are made from a 'poly' type plastic that won't take superglue, so it's back to the drawing board until I find another option
One photo of a glowing micro-hotplate (try to guess which is the original) is replicated many times. Each replica has been enhanced in a different colour.

Tried to replicate the birthday boy's actual Peterbilt truck from a photo using measurements from a toy model of a Kenworth.
Seen in Coventry. This trailer is registered to Bosnia and carries a UK replication of the Bosnian plate - a first for me!
It is operated by Sealane Freight who are based in St. Albans but tend to use foreign operators (no doubt for cost-cutting) and their trailers can regularly be seen with UK replications of foreign plates.
