This took inspiration from this:
Jeep is based on the jeep from an Indiana Jones set. Van is based off of the crook's van from 60008.
All six vehicles I built this week. Also, as a bonus, here is a little scene using that police car:
For the the most part I've been aiming for a safari park feel and have mentally added trenches around all the enclosures ;-)
If I manage to get to the point of combining all the little builds into a full Zoo layout I intend to raise the whole thing up so I can add ha-has and moats.
Sure I'm not the first to do these but here's my three amigos
A little Scarif Moc I have been working on for a few weeks now. Heavily influenced by the battlefront maps.
My take on Roland Deschain from the Dark Tower series:
My hunter from the PS4 videogame Bloodborne:
The jeep has been modded and I attached a Brickarms BAR to go with the whole vintage military feel.
The second one is based off of the SUV from 60058. The pair driving this are not guys you wanna cross...

I would like to show you my first MOC. It's a historacal building of Czech Nation Musem whic was is standing on Wenceslas Square since 1891. Model contains aprox. 2020 parts and the base is 32x32 studs.
more images can be found on my flickr
and speed build video on Youtube
Don't know what other topic I should post this, so I put it here. Obviously this is not my MOC.
Does anyone recognize those rails or tubing, as well as the bars that connect and are holding the two rails together? Is it even Lego? Is anyone able to ID these elements?
If you know and can give the answer, much appreciated! Thanks.
Here is said video:
The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria
And Mickey's Trailer!
I assume you can contact Edward, if you want to build one like his, through YouTube but if you have trouble send me your email and I'll pass it on.

Thank you! Now I am a little wiser.
So the man who build this roller coaster: Jim Burrows, used a Lego compatible brick system, i.e. not genuine Lego parts for his MOC. It does not change anything with regard to how fantastic it is. Except from a 'Lego purist' perspective it can't be build like that only using genuine lego pieces, as Lego does not produce such a tube/rail system (to my knowledge).
I cannot tell just by studying the youtube video you (Jenni) posted what/how that roller coaster, as you write, using real Lego pieces was constructed, as the quality of the video is not good enough for me to see what elements are used (if they are in fact Lego pieces), and/or me lacking knowledge about certain technic elements that were used.
Nonetheless once more, thank you both very much!

i ve been sucked into this game the past 6 weeks, but i think i got over it.
enough PREY's SLAUGHTERED so far ... back to lego!
Also, this:
Here is the video on the latter if you wanna build it yourself:
Classic Link I made for Lego Ideas.
I am pleased to announce my most complicated and rewarding build, the Lykan Hypersport.

Some of my main goals for this build were to create as many realistic functions possible to the real car while maintaining a cosmetically appealing bodywork.
The curves and features on this car are par to none in regards to bodywork difficulty and functions. It all began with the framework and a 4 speed manual transmission.
The rear suspension, (horizontal coil over) was beyond me as to how I could implement it with Lego.
I discussed my concerns with Dugald and 5 minutes later he sends me a photo (below) of a roughed out version of the proper suspension.
We ended up using that same suspension for the build. The 4 speed transmission and rear suspension was build with a lot of help from him. I bumped a ton of ideas his way in regards to proper proportion and it really helped speed up this build.
Once the ground work was laid out, it was time for the functions. I absolutely had to motorize the Lykan doors, to the same extent of the real car.
This beast has working lights, servo for steering, 2xl motors for drive, 1 m-motor for doors, 1 m-motor for rear wing, working twin turbo Flat 6 with fan. The front hood has an original latch system I designed to open the same amount as the real car. The rear engine cover was designed to have similar appearance to the real car and I found the grey flags to have the right shape and size.
Everything opens like the real car
The rear wing tilts and raises.

Here's another shot of my Roland Deschain minifig.
I recently assembled the Clash of Cultures display for the 1st-4th grade History/Lit teachers for the co-school where I work. It includes a re-assembled #6766: Rapid River Village that had been donated (with figures acquired from @SprinkleOtter Thank you!), cavalry with a wagon inspired by #6716: Covered Wagon (the teachers re-purposed the wagon from the cavalry to the settlers), bison inspired by and reversed engineered from Imagine Rigney’s “Ralphie” built for the University of Colorado, and a MOC’d settler’s cabin:
And another:
For those who wish to build a van like this of their own, here's the source:
Apologies first if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find where else to post it so feel free to chuck it in the right place :)
My wife is Modular mad, the street being her passion and over the years she has started collecting every one of the 12 models released including the latest Assembly Square. I had to build more storage for them in the house as we had run out of space to display them ! But she now has the full set. But typical of her, she is never happy with the interiors and like our actual house itself, she wants to make changes . Now it would be sacrilege to change the exterior but the interior is a free for all !
She decided that the Cafe Corner was boring inside ( well it is empty after all ! ) so she designed and tweaked all three floors until it was just how she liked it.
The space is so tight in there it is hard to get the lighting just right when taking photos but you get the idea.
Ground floor- from an empty green base plate to...
Then the 1st floor was turned into the hotel reception.
Once checked in the guests can make their way to their tiny bijoux rooms. Christ knows how much they are paying but don't try to swing a cat in there !
Once Cafe Corner was finished (subject to her changing her mind ...) she turned her attention to Green Grocer.
Now this one does have a little more detail inside but again not enough according to my wife so out came the paintbrush , rollers and trips to the DIY store.
Working our way from ground floor up. She has filled the fridge, restocked all the shelves and refreshed the newspaper stand as well as bringing in more groceries.
Moving upstairs to the apartment, she added in sitting room, kitchen complete with flat screen TV ( and yes we like the Grand Tour), iMac desk area, you name it.
Next floor has a new structure for the bathroom and shower, bedroom again with TV..
Yes that is someone dressed up as a Hot Dog cooking the BBQ ...cuckoooo
Her last project is Market Street. Now I know this is basic because it was designed by Lego Fan but she felt it needed a little 'tweak". So here we can see it looks different from the basic model...
Then the Market side has exploded
The worker needs stairs to get up to his new vegetable and fruit patch. Somewhere to store his tools and he can get water to water his crops from the kitchen .
Inside the building he now has a new kitchen
Living room
and a fold up bed because space is at a premium.
So there you go, a lot of photos to wade through but I hope you enjoy some mad ideas from someone who is obviously mad as a box of frogs :)
