Focusing on the main body of the ship, NOT the wings/ external strips
Driving my self nuts need input.
Is the neck/ head too short?
Does the main body need to be wider?
Is the tail to short?
Things like that would be great for this rough draft. Thanks.
Some of the MOCs on rebrockable seems sooo much fun but I’ve no idea what’s the best way to buy all the parts necessary for a particular MOC set. Any pointers would be appreciated!
The couch might seem out of proportion with the rest of the room but my partner and I actually just have a ridiculously massive couch
I am happy to announce my latest LEGO Ideas project! The model is inspired by the popular automation game Factorio.

Questa è l'espansione dei set Lego Gringott e Diagon Alley, ottenuta con i bellissimi MOC di Scarlett Patronus a cui ho aggiunto vari personaggi, il muro di ingresso e un po' di decorazioni. Alcune basi grigie 16x32 non sono originali (troppo costose per poi essere in buona parte coperte). Purtroppo rimangono nascosti gli interni che sono altrettanto belli. Lunghezza totale 2,70 metri. Consigli per migliorarlo e soprattutto per esporlo?
Three worlds, one journey — a** **64 × 32 stud wall-mounted display, featuring spacecraft, bases and hidden details inspired by the series.

I want to use this pattern of overlapping shield pieces for my house MOC. However I can’t figure out a way to make it work. I can’t use the same attachment method as before as the original smaller roof is attached via clips to the houses main body, I also can’t use hinge plates as they don’t reach back far enough to make the roof a desirable angle. Any suggestions appreciated :)
My latest custom modular, the City Library. It sits on a 48x32 baseplate and is a corner building. Highlights include stained glass windows, a bus stop on the sidewalk, and lots of books/bookcases!
My video overview with a lot more angles and details can be found here.
I’m a fan of single-set rebuilds and finally got around to this project: an articulated and detailed Balrog, approximately scaled for minifigs. I’ll be honest, the neon yellow isn’t the best fit but I couldn’t pass up the included “whip” in this set. Not to mention the set is easy to find and cheap.
No instructions at the moment, I still have to learn the software but included some close up shots of each section which all connect pretty simply. Let me know what you think and if you build it too!
Although this experimental autonomous VT gained a nickname of "featherless hen" among the ground crews, its' combat reputation is quite fierce.
In a regular 0.8 - 1G environment Nightjars are unable to sustain prolonged flight - but that is not its purpose. Four main engines and numerous thruster blocks allow this machine to zap around the battlefield on a speeds unreachable for conventional ground vehicles.
It has no armor and rely solely on its' shields, active defense measures and, more importantly - agility. Without a flesh-and-blood pilot it performs maneuvers that would kill most of the conscious species if they were inside.
Its' tactics are subtile: while the bulk of the strike team faces the enemy - Nightjars get behind their lines and strike the most vulnerable parts of the mechas with its coilgun. They get in, bleed out the enemy and get out - the rest is for the main forces to handle.
While it can operate fully autonomous with its onboard AI the complex nature of its' tactics require a living pilot for it to shine. When remotely operated these VTs are the most effective.
Nightjar is too expensive and highly specialized model to be the mainstay of NCM's armed forces, but in some situations it is irreplaceable.

Another upload from my Flick page.
Heavily inspired by Nicks works. I built this without any plan really, mostly just playing around with parts.
Hey ya’ll! So I’m pretty sure I probably have posted this project when it was still work in progress several years ago. And then I got divorced, and yada yada yada. So here I am, several years later, with the finished product.
Why the house from this particular movie you may ask? Yeah, it’s pretty random, I know. So not only is weird science my favorite movie of all time, but I’m also an avid fan of American tutor revival style architecture, which was most prominent in America during the 1920s and 1930s.
And just FYI, the whole thing is modular, and every room is fully furnished as accurately as I could match it by watching the movie probably well over 1 million times in my life. Of course I had to make a few tweaks so that the interior (which was filmed on a sound stage) would actually fit and make sense with the exterior (which, according to my research, was an actual home located in the northern suburbs outside of Chicago until it was sadly leveled in 1990).
TERRAKIN COLOSSUS.
Been a bit since I've done a #MonsterMonday post, so here we are! This is a construct made from dark and ancient magic, reanimating the remnants of slain terrakin into one colossal and terrifying disaster. My D&D players fought this creature within the last arc of the campaign I've been running, and it did indeed fight as fearsomely as it looks! Throughout the fight, it had the ability to reconfigure the inorganic matter on its body into different weapons, including giant axes, fails, swords, hammers, and claws.
The added bonus to bringing this creature to life was the ability to pay homage to one of my favorite themes growing up: Power Miners. Ah, those lil rock monsters and the Crystal King were some of my favorite characters to come out of a Lego IP.
Hope you enjoy!
Sorry it took so long for those waiting on the instructions but they are finished now and available on Rebrickable! The engine has been updated and is now accurate, as seen in the last render. Thank you to everyone for all of the support and for encouraging me to do this.

When The Great Insectoid War emerged, Galactic Federation faced severe lacking of modern big battlecruiser/carrier type capital ships that were much needed to the war effort. Existing battlecruisers, such as Brutus-class, although were cheap to build, but also obsolete and was too highly specialized as artillery ships, while light spacecraft played a huge role in combat; dedicated spacecraft carriers also had flaws, being underarmed, underarmored and straight up too small to manage combat without a support group, which is a big issue when whole fleet experience a huge lack of vessels.
So engineers rolled up their sleeves and started to design new multipurpose capital ship class, that would serve roles of both battlecruiser and spacecraft carrier. In its development designers used the experience of their colleagues to the fullest: new vessel featured a hull that partly consisted of large sections - much like in Brutus and a plethora of earlier designed cargo vessels; design team also actively used pre-war battleship projects to reduce the overall cost and fasten the development.
Most difficult part was in creating engines that will provide this behemoth with enough speed and agility. In original project Sarissa ought to be driven by two colossal engines that also feature thrust-vectoring for maneuverability, and although those motors were an engineering marvel, but two of them wasn't enough for certain scenarios, so design team added 4 more engines, much smaller though, that gave Sarissa additional trust and served as back-up engines.
Although this vessel meant to be sort of a blend of battlecruiser and a carrier, it featured solid armament, which would be the envy of any other battleship. It had numerous heavy rapid-firing turbolaser batteries, a plethora lighter plasma cannons, rocket launchers and anti-spacecraft guns and dozens of torpedoes and ballistic missiles, all of which would be more than enough for a ship of its type... But it also mounted 4 artillery pieces originally designed for planetary defense systems that could destroy in one shot vessels of up to a frigate size. Even navy officials rated all this weaponry as a bit overkill for such ship.
Even though many vessels from first production series came into service underarmed and sometimes even lacking four additional engines due to logistic issues, their combat performance was excellent and they swiftly became flagships in many fleets. In conditions where warships often had to operate in very small groups due to a general shortage of vessels, these multi-functional battleships came in very handy, providing both overwhelming firepower and good protection as well as a considerable spacecraft group.
However, it was not without drawbacks: the huge firepower required an incredible amount of energy, just like the engines, and this created a lot of problems. For example, heavy fire from all the guns overheated the reactors very quickly, and if the ship maneuvered at the same time, then overheating could occur in a matter of minutes. Because of this, the captains tried to use weapons quite sparingly, and the four main guns were hardly used at all, with rare exceptions.
Also, despite the high degree of automation of processes on board, there was hardly enough space for supplies and personnel on board - most of the space inside was occupied by weaponry and spacecraft. All this led to the fact that at the beginning of the Sarissa-class operational use the crews either had to constantly replenish their supplies by entering ports or intersecting with supply ships, wasting time, or abandoning part of the ammunition, spacecraft groups or even rescue capsules. Because of this, very often ships of this type were not on long-range combat missions where they were sometimes needed the most.
However, when the situation for the fleet ceased to be so deplorable and the Federation fully established the production of ships in the required quantity, small groups of supply ships were assigned to the Sarissa's, which provided their crews with ammunition, supplies and fuel during long patrols, and during the battle went to the rear, which fully revealed the potential of Sarissa-class.
Despite the fact that until the second half of the war there was no more than one Sarissa in a single fleet, their combat use as flagships was extremely successful. As the fighting took on a larger scale, the Federation fleet received more and more ships of this type, and subsequently they became the basis of the fleet. Even though these ships were expensive to manufacture and repeatedly tried to replace them with newer vessels, Sarissa-class became the most numerous battlecruiser of the entire war.

So I decided to try posting my stuff here on Reddit. Usually I post only on my Flickr page but it feels like it is slowly dying. We'll see how it goes. May post more of my previous builds later.
It is Stepola's unpublished build that I tweaked to my taste, mostly by reducing number of artillery points and designing completely new set of engines.
Are Lego brand baseplates less prone to flexing the the knockoffs from Dollar Tree?
The Dollar Tree ones always seem to flex on me when I’m building walls on them. Wondering if that also happens with the Lego branded ones, but wanted to ask before spending $20 on them.
If you think this deserves to become a real LEGO set, I’d love your support on LEGO Ideas. ❤️
