I've been working on another addition to my "An Unexpected Expansion" MOC. Added in a dirt path out front of Bag-end for Gandalf to arrive on. Pretty pleased how this all came out.

I'm planning on displaying this MOC in our state fair later this month! Excited as it will be the first time I've ever publicly displayed any of my builds.

What do you guys think?

I think a picture would help. ;)

Are the pictures not showing up for you? Is anyone else seeing them? I see all four pics I posted showing up...

CaptainRogers

I don't see want, and i hit the quote button and didn't see them inserted there... Curious.

They took a short while to load for me, but at least they didn't load one line at a time like they normally do.

benbacardi

I see all four pictures (it looks great!) both in the original post and the @CaptainRogers
quoted post

CaptainRogers

And now i can see all of them, so my post sill look stupid. Anyhow, I really like it! Well done on bringing a classic Middle Earth scene to life.

Here is a view of the whole build as it currently stands.

I'm going to put green felt onto this MDF building board to display at the fair.

I'm giving the whole Flickr thing a whirl since it seems to be where all the cool AFOLs hang out.

Mostly I've used Instagram and FB for sharing my builds.

Afternoon all,

I thought twice about sharing this, as, A, it's my first attempt at building anything that isn't a set, since I was a kid (im now 420. B, it's not come out as I'd hoped and think I made the building too plain, but couldn't find a way of making it look more run down and ruined.

I was going for a scene from The Walking Dead, but some characters, time and lack of bricks and space I needed, meant I couldn't.

I call it The Last Stand, as a few survivors hold off some Zombies :)

Given the quality of posts before mine, I feel very inadequate lol

 But on a positive note you’re doing well for 420!! @colay ( yes I know it was a typo). I don’t really MOC much myself but have done some small vignettes for minifigures which aren’t that special but we’ve all got to start somewhere. I just enjoy building for the sake of it. 

Baby_Yoda

I love the variety of minifigures included as they really bring the display to life.

colay

Thank you @Baby_Yoda @Gibbo1959 yeah, I did enjoy it. Now just need to practice more. Why does work get in the way?! :)

I bought 41597 "Go Brick Me" and (with some extras) built Marceline from Adventure Time.



Ooops, I should have used a black piece at the right side.

My son and I both put builds into our State Fair (Oregon) and both won second place ribbons in our respective categories. My submission was my Bag-End extension which I've called "An Unexpected Extension" and have shared here before.
My son's submission was a food truck pod, which Portland is well known for.

I recently finished a project I started quite awhile ago. I rushed the upper levels and the interior, but I'm really happy with how the "stained glass" windows worked out. 
I have more pictures on Flickr if you're interested.

So it's been a while since I posted anything, but I moved house so a lot of my Lego time's just been rearranging everything on their new shelves (once I reattached all the bits that got knocked off inside the big cardboard boxes).  Did put together a couple of custom odds and ends along the way which I'll get around to, but right now I'm kinda proud of today's build, an embiggened Hogwarts Express:



Took inspiration from Station in Bill & Ted - if you want a big thing, smoosh two little things together, the new lovely but short Express and the previous incarnation.  I didn't plan it this way (I was trying to match the dimensions of the real thing) but she ended up pretty much the same size as Emerald Night (the carriage is slightly shorter):



Nothing really out of the ordinary in the build, just stretching the whole thing out - since the main wheels are more spaced out I put three full-size ones on the right, with the rimless ones both on the left side since they face the wall when she's shelved. The front truck (I think that's what it's called? The front wheel thing) is waaaay longer for real than in the instructions, so that's where most of the effort went, that and shaping the flat bit at the front so it dips down properly. Extending the body (boiler? I really need to read up on train terminology) was simple in build but needed a lot of hitting up the Brickset database to find out how many of those curved hull pieces I had and where I could steal them from (two red 2x4s came from, of all places, the inner frame of the droids' Tantive IV escape pod); meanwhile the Penguin had the gold discs on his Arctic Roller headlamps replaced by grey to provide the front... bumpers or whatever they're called. I did spend quite a while on the cab though, trying to squish in both the new set's flames and dials, and the old set's removable coal tray - some downsizing had to be done, but it worked out in the end:



The coal tender (?) has a bunch more coal detail, but the opening panel for accessory storage is still in there, and the whole train has the old magnet connectors.  The carriage is basically the new one built to the dimensions of the old one, and using the older train windows - since lining the seats up with the windows added room between them, I brought over the table decorations from the old set too (and the sticker detailed snack card, redesigned to fit in the 2-wide space and be a bit smaller generally):



And here she is in situ, making the trip from London to Hogwarts (the Yellow Submarine's parked just out of view to the left of Buck Palace, it's kind of the 'British Stuff' area of the shelves):

My take on the baby Groot Brickheadz figure:

This year I have created a LEGO Harry Potter advent calendar for my wife, who is at the tail end of a master's degree and hasn't been able to do one of these alongside our daughter (7) over the past few years. She was thrilled with the surprise reveal yesterday and is enjoying it so far! In the spirit of official LEGO advent calendars, it's a mix of  builds in various scales with a selection of minifigs scattered through the days. I intend to do some decent photos of them as she goes through the month, but for now, here's the box and a "behind-the-scenes" photo from the assembly process!

I've repurposed and fully rewrapped last year's Star Wars calendar. (Graphics on the box borrowed from a freely-available Wizarding World coloring book PDF.) The builds throughout are mostly original, with inspiration drawn from official LEGO sets and other MOCs around the web.

As this is my first adventure posting in the Brickset Forums, please let me know if there's a better home for this!

Each year in work I set up a few sets and stuff for a Christmas display. Last year it was a few things in an empty fish-tank but this year, I had a full table to work with. There's not as much snow and stuff as I'd like due to an incident involving a tunnel colliding from a height with a modular.

Anyway the moving train, ferris wheel and reindeer were a hit in the office.

I used the @JKBrickworks motorised reindeer instructions and the horse and carriage is a slightly modified version from the Soar Brick website.

Well it took a while but I have finally finished the exterior of my model of “The Loud House”. It’s a big set with 2300+ parts and lots of authentic detail to the show. It wouldn’t be complete without Vanzilla! It opens up in the back and has removable floors too. The interior furniture is done but just needs to be optimized to all fit inside, I’ll post pics in a few days. 





I plan on creating custom minifigs and submitting it to Ideas soon so support would be appreciated. Would be helpful to get feedback before posting. 

mafon

It's detailed recreation of the house and, as a person, who watches the show, I applaud your dedication and diligence. I'm sure it gets it's share of upvotes, but I doubt it'd be greenlit by TLG — to average viewer it looks just like an ordinary house.

More pics, including most of interior plus minifigs. Shown below are the Living Room, Kitchen, the dreaded "Kid's Table" and the Grown-Up Table, and two of the five bedrooms.

I had a hard time hiding my latest MOC from the internet, but I'm happy I can finally show it to you guys! So I built this for the AFOL Designer Program, and since the theme was the 60th anniversary of the LEGO Brick, I decided to build four different vignettes/scenes, which represent the history of LEGO. :) Can you spot the small hidden details and the interesting building techniques? If you like the set, you'll be able to pre-order it soon, but for now, here are some pictures! (made by Bricklink)

I'll also include its description here for you:
Since it’s the 60th anniversary of LEGO Brick, what’s a better way to celebrate than taking a look back at how it all started? Build an individual vignette for 4 different eras of LEGO’s history starting from 1937. Ole Kirk Kristiansen bought his first milling machine, and the company only made wooden toys (have you spotted the wooden duck?). In the second vignette, LEGO started molding plastic bricks in 1946. The third vignette is of a designer’s office to represent designers working on the amazing LEGO sets that we all are familiar with. Finally, in the fourth vignette, you can see a modern molding machine with a complicated tubing system in the background. That’s where the raw materials “travel” to the big molding machines that make LEGO bricks. Display all the vignettes together, or put them in different places, to share the story of LEGO!








I won't insert a link to the "product page" here, since it's a MOC showcase topic, but I'm sure if someone would like to pre-order it, he/she will find the proper web page for that. :)

Would be nice to see some of the talent here over in the regular building contests...  Current one can be found here and you still have until the end of the month to enter.

Thanks very much. Yes most of my designs are digital but I have recreated a couple of them in real bricks. The convenience store modular is real and I have recently completed a brick built version of the Traction Engine, although I had to swap out some colours for that one.

By the way @KovJonas, your entry for the recent Bricklink contest looks really excellent.

Unfortunate to know that separate moc topic can't be posted in this forum. 

Either way, I'll post 1-3 moc weekly (if willing to) with mainly old moc I've built in the past: 

Post 1: 

Aku - The Shape-Shifting Master of Darkness 

markosparko

I just acquired a second arkham asylum 10937. Has any one ever combined 2 together to make a bigger version? If so do you have pics you can share to help me please?

BOBJACK_JACKBOB

Hi Marko, welcome to Brickset!

I only have one set of 10937 but I have experience of combining other multiple sets to create something bigger.

Here's one to get you started - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETT0iech_jc it is two sets combined pretty simply, keeping to the look, layout and details of the original.

Here's one that is much more elaborate - https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/85656-10937-modular-building-“an-alternate-asylum”/ they have used 4 sets and turned it into a modular. I know you only have two but this one could be good for inspiration, especially if you have a pile of spare pieces.

I found these by googling '10937 Moc'. Hopefully some other members have first hand experience and can give some more advice.

BooTheMightyHamster

If memory serves correctly, @CapnRex101 was emarking on an epic Arkham build some years ago, and was blogging about it.

Whatever happened to that, Cap?  Did you finish it?

markosparko

Thanks bobjack. I've just combined them both similar to the one you've shown.

Hey LEGO fans,

additionally to my illuminated Lego city "Bricksonville", I started to build an amusement park this year, also completely illuminated and motorized.

So, this is the first update of it:

Both my son and I displayed MOCs at Bricks Cascade this past weekend. 

I had my Bag-End extension MOC displayed as well as a microscale Forestmen Camouflaged Outpost and my son had his microscale floating city displayed. 

So much fun!
