I have been building transformers lego models for two decades now, constantly growing my collection, there were always one thing left do figure out.
How to build a combiner ?
We all know the limitations through weight on our models versus what we would want from certain bricks and their clutchpowers.
Bruticus and the combaticons were on my wishlist for a long time, so i have been working on those models over the past months, first working out each individual character and then the combine mode.
It needs still a support stand, which also serves as display stand, just to keep the weight up, he is very heavy, standing tall around 60cm.
Instructions available soon.
Crocheted from yarn made from used plastic shopping bags kindly donated by women from around the world.
Could it be finished?

Amazingly, the design of my Vortex motorcycle came together very quickly and with very few revisions! In fact, the only major change to the structure was early on when I decided to flip the front assembly upside-down so that the gas tank would have a stud on top instead of a cavity shape. This also allowed the exhaust/kickstand to be attached underneath.
These are just some WIP images of some minor things that I tried to add to the bikes, but ultimately did not end up using on the final versions.
1 - This was the first time i added a front "fairing" piece to the bike. It is some oddly-shaped mini-fig helmet visor. It was incredibly hard to mount in that location because it kept breaking. i later discovered that it fits better when flipped around. This first version shows the visor piece pinched upright in a more angular sort of way. It looked good, but was not strong enough to consider a reasonable connection. Flipping the visor over later allowed for a more visible "air scoop" behind the front wheel.
2 - Obviously I could not find a way to connect it, but I feel like a clear cheese plate would've made a great addition for a front windscreen. This really made the bike look like it was from the eighties!
3 - Another experimental headlight using a gem piece. It was just comically large so I tossed the idea away. I also tried mounting a tooth/fang piece in the front clip to make a front fender, but it looked kinda overly futuristic and ugly in my opinion.
4 - Simply used 1x1 plates with holes in them for wheels. These actually looked amazing in my opinion. i only decided not to use them becasue I already was using yellow wheels on the red bike and I wanted to have a bit more variety. Sadly I do not have these plates in any other color. I preferred the red bike to use technic bushings for wheels so they did not end up there either.

My latest piece. A brooch called " Vortex "
It is magnetic so won't pierce any holes through your fabrics.
The central piece is wafer thin which is a newly devised method which allows me to create very thin pieces which are totally strong and reliable.

These dunes were so incredible that I decided to return a few times and spend several days exploring them. Even so, I scarcely made a dent. After realizing how much I loved the way Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film renders light, shadow and texture in the desert, I decided to prioritize the black and white film images over color on future trips. This is from one of those trips. While hiking up a very large dune, I found this hole near the crest that had inexplicably formed up there in the side of the otherwise normal dune crest. In the sharp light shortly after sunrise, the sun made the inside of the hole appear black, and the wind had created these beautiful ripples cascading out away from the opening, causing it to look like a mysterious whirlpool or portal opening. I love the way the black and white film makes it look all the more mysterious and ominous.
Made with film.
