Bumblepants

Just a silly little Chima themed racer with Rogon behind the wheel that I built with my son this evening.

I'm about done with my EN craze. Here is an observation car for the end. I havent run a BOM yet so am not sure how many unobtainable parts it has. It's just begging for an Abe Lincoln mini-fig.

The Spanking Troll Tavern

Orsius

The Tomb of the White Knight, I just came back to LEGO and bought a bucket of pieces. This is what I built today.



It's sitting on my instructions for Benny's SPACESHIP, which was really fun to put together.

ecmo47

I had to redo the back end as there is no reddish brown 2x2 macaroni piece that I used in the original design. The 2x6x1 curved top arch (6183) works better anyway. The arch also allowed me a place for a drumhead which was a common feature on observation cars. I played around with the window arrangement since the 1x4x3 Tan window frames (6556) run over $8.00 each. It looks pretty good with 3 per side if you want to save a couple bucks.

@vitreolum Nice classic space helemet on the lamp. ;) Why is Gordon in there, I see him. :P

vitreolum

He's the only cop I have in my collection. :))

bobabricks

That is surprising, you got pieces to use and minifigures coming out of your ears but you have NO cops, hm. :P

vitreolum

Who the hell need cops with all the superheros I have in my collection? :))

BrickDancer

What happened to that poor guy's legs? And that is a very nice brick-built Rhino!

vitreolum

Just a rather weak kneeling pose attempt. Looks more like the Rhino already had his way with him though.

bobabricks

I think the kneeling pose looks pretty good, @vitreolum just needs some clay or something to fill in his missing thy. :)

I'm pretty intimidated by all the posts here, but since MOCs are what this thread is for, here is what my son and I built this morning:

"These minifigures are really letting the bricks go to their heads!"

legomatt

^ "The feet-friendly play-doh lego had its drawbacks."
:oD

flowerpotgirl

Rebuilt my two Cloud Cuckoo Palaces into one large one.

bobabricks

Somebody needs to build the dog head if it hasn't been done yet...

vitreolum

Shib

That wolf is better than the legends beast one.

vitreolum

Thanks, although it's easier for me than a lego designer, I can make it as fragile as I like. :)

OK, looks like everyone in the LEGO universe wants to have some kind of a mech or Exo- Suit these days and even Gandalf the Grey decided to follow this trend.
So, here it is: GTG-The-ME-Protector :


I tried to depict most of the things that are characteristical for Gandalf: his staff, the Glamdring (sword), grey hat, Gandalf’s famous fireworks (you can actually shoot them from the launcher located on the mech’s shoulder- flick fire mechanism),and notice the one of the three elven magic rings- Narya, that Gandalf got from Círdan- now he uses it to power his mighty contraption :-) .

Here’s a little closer look (the minifig is able to handle the control sticks and the Narya is adorned with a red stone):


View of the backside:


YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!! XD :


So, I hope you enjoy it! :-)

I've noticed that some of you have posted here your MOCs from the Neo Classical Space Contest, so I decided to do the same (at least for those who haven't seen them yet). I'll just post the links here:
Neo-Classical Space Mech SH-96

Mission 29-07-14: Exploration of the Uncharted Surface

NCS Raptor-Bot 3000

Yup, that was a great contest, I am looking forward for the third Mixels one in September!

jackybrick

I found some images of my older (built over an year ago) MOCs, so I decided to post them here as well. But sorry for the photo quality (those days, I didn’t mind that I will actually post them somewhere, they were for my personal purpose only).
So, the first one is sort of desert racing (Rally Dakar, maybe :-P) scene/vignette...

jackybrick

... and the second one is actually more of a life-sized build. It is intended to be a short sword, actually I wanted it to be a Sting (LOTR again, you know :-P), but it is rather based on my fantasy than on the movie trilogy...


So I hope you like them both. :-)

(This was my brother’s idea and I realised it in LEGO form :-D )

^ Exquisite... and THAT roof! Great build.

rancorbait

@vitreolum - I love how you used that microfigure in the wall :o)

This would have been my third entry that I built for the Neo-classic space contest, but I discarded it in favor of the exo-suit... :o/

vitreolum

Thanks Nick and Ranc.

And now i've experienced a lego version of 'where's wally'. :oP (And there's more than one!).

That sounds like a review site for the light-fingered. ;oD

@vitreolum - I was very tempted to post this MOC and claim it as my own, seeing as you haven't posted it here yet... :oP

vitreolum

Haha, I didn't post that as I didn't think it's worth it and will probably use those trees in a future build. Here you go: :)

legomatt

^ Yep, i totally see what you're saying. There's really quite an interesting effect happening from the space below the coverage of the canopy, it creates an illusion of much greater depth, and yet... there isn't any brickwork beyond the two limbs.

The eye is drawn into the gap below the tree line (behaving like a picture frame), and then extrapolates that greenery to a point much further beyond.

There's a very useful lesson here, to be mindful of space - sometimes it's the space that does the building. Very useful for anyone trying to create a dense forest. Lots of bricks, branches, and trunks might actually flatten the illusion, whereas a few carefully positioned branches and leaves will deepen it.

Fascinating.

Thanks for posting @vitreolum

Isn't that what Master Yoda said? No, wait...

Seriously, though, I like the depth to it, like Legomatt said. Just out of interest, is it just me or does the tree to the left have a big ol' mouth with spiky teeth in it?

vitreolum

Thanks Matt. I believe the shadows and the bush placed back there help that illusion somewhat.

@plasmodium No mouth there, just an attempt to make a split tree.

TechnicNick

I've been busy... it's about time I had a new build to show you guys, so here it is:



A London town house in 1970s homemaker fig scale with a full interior.





^ That's where the magic happens!

It's currently in a 'Friday Night Fight Night' on The Brothers Brick, which made my day :-)

I'll be displaying this at STEAM in October. Hope to see you there!

vitreolum

Really unique build there, haven't seen any house built that way. The interior detail is insane. And I absolutely love that round bush.

Bosstone100

@TechnicNick - that's probably THE most impressive Lego creation I've seen. The detail is amazing. The scale probably helps you fit everything in there.

I've been wondering lately is someone should introduce a midifigure... in between micro and mini for a modular setting. Modular buildings are great but creating a city display with them is kinda tough since they take up quite a bit of space. Not everyone has a Lego room. :-)

CapnRex101

Absolutely great model @TechnicNick, I saw it on TBB this morning and was impressed. Little did I know that you had made it!

That makes three members whose models have appeared on TBB since the start of the thread, @TechnicNick‌ @vitreolum‌ and @rancorbait :o)

Thanks @Bosstone100. Yep, that's why I like building big! I don't have a dedicated lego room either, much as I'd love the attic of that house :-)

Just finished designing my latest modular. Just over 2000 of the ~2500 parts I had in my inventory and with a few modifications was able to order the remaining in 3 orders so building should commence in a week or so. Picture with my Red Grocer and one of my other modulars for comparison.

graphite

Forgot to take a new picture after the small modifications. Dropped a few details for parts not available and the gold tile on the sides of the walls on the first floor were bugging me as being too busy.

TLG

^Love that roof #graphite

graphite

^ Thanks. It took the longest out of all of it and was the second major part I did. I had started with the 2nd floor windows and built up. First time I've started somewhere other than the ground. When it started out it was sort of supposed to follow more of a pattern across it but it became a little more random. But I liked how it turned out. Should be an interesting build.

vitreolum

Not happy with this one, but I'm happy I managed to complete it, quite a difficult build for me.

bobabricks

this is NOT me but I think this guy does amazing stuff. I found him through his BrickLink store after ordering there. :)
