Well, I finally finished my Frankenstein MOC, and it's mediocre at best, so I'll probably put it aside again and see if I can do better in the future. But I liked how this picture came out.

As a massive fan of the original Blade Runner and Denis Villeneuve’s brilliant sequel, I was absolutely thrilled by this set!

To honor the film’s breathtaking aesthetic, I tried to recreate its desolate environments right in my studio. I used colored backdrops, a smoke machine, 2 RGB lights, and real sand from Fontainebleau.

I found this in my mother in laws garage, buried on a shelf of toys she sends as gifts. Thank goodness she doesn’t send many gifts. Build It? Or Hide it back in her garage?

Instructions available on Rebrickable

This is a first draft for an EMD F7 using the latest parts available from lego. I took inspiration for @boku_no_pikohan (nonsense war) E8 moc for the windshield but transposed it to 7 wide. I still need to find a good way of powering it, making 2 L motors fit inside seems ambitious. I am currently hesitating between having one L motor powering the two bogies or having on M motor for each bogie. The bluebonnet livery is buildable using existing parts. The super chief livery on the other hand is not : the newish curved slope on the front did not appear in red yet. I'll keep you guys updated once I will have a second version ready.

I was eyeing the Gingerbread AT-AT earlier this year, because I love alternative version of things (the Dark Falcon is one of my all time favorite sets), and I lamented to my wife that I loved the set, but didn’t want to get it because it represents a holiday I don’t participate in. My wife said “Maybe you could swap out for some blue and yellow”, and beside that being an awesome idea I also wasn’t about to take for granted my wife encouraging me to go ahead and buy another Lego set, so I ordered it right away and then started pouring over the parts list and instructions online.

I found every red, green, or pink part in the instructions, and made a list of corresponding parts in blue, gold, and aqua. I also took note of the specific seasonal parts, like stockings and candy canes, and found other replacements for them. I built little dreidels to go over the fireplace, designed latkes with sour cream and apple sauce for the interior doors, replaced the candy canes with options blue and gold lightsabers or bottles of olive oil, and even swapped out Vader’s holiday cookie for a sufganiyah (when I discovered that there was a dedicated jelly donut piece that was a very exciting moment.) I planned out a large Hanukkiah (Hanukkah Menorah) for the roof, and small touches like the Star of David on Vader’s saber blade, and then I placed a large pick-a-brick order, and two separate BrinkLink orders for the handful of pieces I couldn’t order directly. Then I sat and waited, since even the main set itself was on back order.

As my orders trickled in I began putting things together, and quickly found flaws in my original plans (my original Hanukkiah had an additional tier at the bottom, but it looked wrong like that. Also the middle candle was too short. I also hadn’t realized for the ribbons attached, and was missing a way to connect the one over the interior chair to the wall. Luckily I was able to fish out most of the extra pieces from my own spare parts bin, and I was also fortunate that a local third party shop told me I could have the aqua jumper plates on the top of the build for free (when I asked them if I could just purchase a couple of individual pieces from their bulk parts bin.)

I am incredibly happy with how everything came together. Looking at my build fills me with pride; both that I was able to accomplish what I set out to, and that I can see myself reflected in this set now. I hope that it brings some joy to other folks as well.

I really enjoy how well I made these and their articulation points. I felt that the mechs needed some companions, so I created the Shepherds and their corresponding load out kits. They're not 100% functional in a way I want, but boy howdy I enjoy them! I want to make more and create a proper scene for each!

Here's the latest revision of my bricked rendition of what a possible Mars Attacks! set could look like. I've had trouble getting my MOC approved by LEGO IDEAS in the past, and I suspect this won't be an exception. Owing to inclusion of one exceptionally rare flame grilled steak. But how could you not? So, I thought I'd share it here instead. Enjoy!

In a city built of bricks, even the smallest piece can crack the case.

One of my favorite classic American cars – a 1953 Buick Skylark Convertible built in LEGO Creator Expert/Icons scale.

The Skylark was Buick's flagship convertible for 1953, celebrating the brand's 50th anniversary. I tried to capture its distinctive proportions, sweeping side trim and elegant chrome-heavy styling while keeping the overall look consistent with official LEGO display models.

The model features working steering, opening doors, hood and trunk, along with a detailed engine bay and interior.

Hope you like it! I'd love to hear what you think.

Featuring my Lego builds of cars I like and minifigures of characters from my sci-fi book "Playing with Echoes." Every year the PVGP rolls into town, I like to arrange my cars into a little Lego car show and take some photos before I go and check out the real car show in the park.

This is my new LEGO Star Wars diorama inspired by the iconic lakeside villa on Naboo from Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones.

After the assassination attempts on Senator Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker escorts her to Naboo, where they stay at the peaceful Varykino Villa, the home of the Naberrie family. I wanted to recreate not only the villa's architecture but also the peaceful, romantic atmosphere of this memorable location from the Prequel Trilogy.

Something about this that im not 100%happy with, but I don't know what.....

I like building jeeps.

Just saw the Horizon Adventures Shell-Walker (77037) on discount and immediately knew I had to make a version for the theme.

The Shell-Walker has always reminded me of the Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell, so it seemed like a perfect fit as a City Space robot helper.

It's mostly a color swap with a few minor modifications to better match the aesthetic. Nothing too elaborate, just a fun afternoon project that I think turned out pretty well!
