What are you building right now?

Just finished my oversized Rancor pit that goes under my oversized Jabba's palace (made from 2 kits). Only thing missing is that the tower section bolted onto the side of the palace doesn't have an add-on to the rancor level underneath it. Was thinking about adding a couple of cells off the Rancor pit and under the towers to house Chewie. Just need to order some parts to do it as i'm all out of stuff i'd find suitable, including some of those rocky wall pieces the Rancor pit pillars are made with. Good to have 4 Gamorreans in there, but only 2 have axes.

I'm usually into Star wars but for some reason I've been building mechs and robots lately, this one I built today.

tabissette

^I assume it has the "masculine" programming...

BuriedinBricks

Built #70403 today with my four-year-old serving as parts monkey. I really love this set. Of course, the giant dragon does not hurt either.

legogal

No Kidding! Will have to pull out the minifigs and give them rides on Mr. Eagle's back! This could take a few years...

rancorbait

For those of you who thought it had a... Thing :-P

#10243 PR arrived today. Gives me something to do this evening :-)

SirKevbags

After being bullied into buying it by @StormKitty on Friday night at the brand store, just completed #70811 My first movie set. Jolly good fun :-)

StormKitty

^ as if you needed much bullying @SirKevbags ;)

Briking

Finished the first 2 floors of PR. Very impressive.

Are you sure @StormKitty didn't just bully you into buying that one set instead of all of them? ;-)

ColoradoBricks

Just finished #10243, interesting & impressive build.

Found one lonely mini Emerald Express at Walmart, nice set!

Building and rebuilding #31021. The kangaroo is just weird, but the monkey and toucan are cute.

Bumblepants

Just finished modding the truck from Agents #8630 into a dark green 4x4. Shortened the suspension and added a unique power-dome over the engine that came from Exo-force I think.

plasmodium

^Hmm...that's a LOT of modding! I can only see about ten shared bricks (the grill, lights and wheels)!

Bumblepants

^ It was pretty much the chassis and suspension that stayed more or less the same. I mainly didn't want to take credit for the rubber Technic suspension system since I didn't come up with that at all.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a squirrel, if you're referring to #31019. Of course it doesn't look much like a squirrel, either, with ears that large.

Finished building #10243 PR. The most beautiful Modular yet. But somehow I feel a little bit cheated due to the smaller size. A few more studs depth and a brick or two taller would have made it perfect.

The tiny bit it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in beauty and detail.

Another one.

This past week, I have been attempting a minifig-scale(-ish) MOC of the RSI Aurora spaceship from the upcoming Star Citizen video game.

The challenge here is that I'm trying to build it with only pieces from my childhood loose bricks collection (ie, not from sets). This means I'm limited to pretty much just classic "brick" pieces, flats, 45 and 30 degree "slopies" and a few basic SNOT and other novelty bricks (recreating it's slightly odd cabin with classic windscreens has proved difficult). This is further hampered by the fact that my brother and I significantly downsized our collection when we moved last year, and furthermore, most of the remaining bricks are in our 'city' (more like tiny village) layout!

What can I say...I like a challenge. :)

khmellymel

I also just finished building the Parisian Restaurant. It's my first modular, so I don't have any others to compare it to, but... wow! I love it, the details are so much more intricate that I am used to for a Lego set and so pretty to look at. Plus, it was a gift from my hometown best friend, which makes it even better.

Only thing is, now I want all the other modulars :(

Briking

^ You've caught the bug! Shame you didn't catch it 13 days ago and got the Fire Brigade on 30% off before it went :-(

Twpps

i'm actually in the process of sorting all my old legos and rebuilding them. i'm working on Space - 6970: Beta I Command Base and and 6951: Robot Command Center.. I just hope that I dont have to much lego pieces missing. Will keep posting the progress

AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz

Just built #70803 love the new elements and bright colors. Is the yellowish green a new color?

jadedanc

Just finished building a Lego skull. Found the instructions from google. :)

I'm currently breaking my promise to myself not to build my Pannier Tank engine until the weekend. There's a couple of Bricklink orders I'm still missing, which is delaying things, but I've built individual sections of them, with the revised promise to myself that I won't actually put them together until the weekend!

And yes, I'm building two... Photos will appear here on Sunday (assuming I receive the BL orders).

SuperTramp

Ive had a train building last couple of days, built the #7898 yesterday and just finished the Horizon today.

Not happy about the #7898 since its missing the cargo wagon.

cheshirecat

Not so much building as unbuilding the #6990 I was lent over the holidays. Was great to finally get to build and play with this legend of my childhood. Will I be able to resist buying one for myself or has it managed to satisfy my monorail needs (at least for now)? Not entirely sure.

I know, what a mis-timing on my part! But I'm gonna blame Lego for this problem, like I do for all my problems... ie, being broke... ah yes, it's a love/hate relationship I have with Lego...

FrictionPin

An attempt at a Lego Store MOC, until I ran out of pieces again. Why is it that I never have enough of the pieces in the right colors when I need them? Huh, why! Off to sell another kidney...

@khmellymel, we need to start a support group!

Just finished the Imperial Flagship that has been sitting in a bag since I got it almost two years ago. Beautiful ship is all I have to say, just beautiful.

plasmodium

Finished my spaceship! Pictures below!
The first one is a reference from the actual game (though mine has an intake thingy on top due to my original reference picture being of a different version):

The next one shows the actual ship (please excuse the lack of photography skills. I am using my phone and a white dust sheet for the background). I have had to make some design alterations/compromises. Especially where the cabin is concerned. How on earth do you replicate that with classic Lego windscreens and a very basic cabin piece?!

The third picture shows the cabin closer up, as well as my doors, which I am particularly proud of. Though not transparent with a special slidey mechanism (like the actual thing), they are attached by an ingenious design of my own: the 'dish' pieces are held in place by the pressure from the three 'handlebar' pieces around the frame - you can kind of see it on the 'closed' starboard door in the second picture, behind the grey crate.


[Edit:] Oh yes. I completely gave up on landing gear by the time I got to the end and had more or less run out of useful pictures, so it has more of a sort stand thingy in the middle.

Natebw

I am working on a replica of the Beatles Rooftop concert. I've got kinda of a rough draft done, but need to add a lot of detail and two more stories.

plasmodium

Whoops. Just noticed. In the last sentence of my last sentence "useful pictures" should = "useful pieces"

klatu003

@FrictionPin Oooh - my city needs this building! Do you have the Lego Store Employee to populate it? Your MOC is fantastic.

FrictionPin said:

= the MOCers lament, right before heading off to Bricklink or Brickowl.

FrictionPin

^Thank you @klatu003, I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have 4 Lego Store Employees ready to serve customers as soon as the doors open. Oh yes, I have that MOCers lament on a post-it note inside my wallet...you know, where the money is supposed to go.

Big_Blue_Winky

This is my weekend sorted.

Paperballpark

Further to my comment the other week, I've today finished building my two 0-6-0 Pannier Tank engines.

The Dark Red one has PF integrated into it, while the Black one can fit PF but doesn't yet have it, instead having brick-built 'placeholders' for the PF gubbins. Both use Medium Driver wheels from Big Ben Bricks in America. I'm also waiting on a custom order from America for 13-long connecting rods, which should finish them off nicely.

For people here in the UK, they will be on display (along with my other train MOCs) at the Bradford Brick Show on 8th/9th Feb, and at the Yorkshire Brick Show on 22nd/23rd Feb.

Can you spot the differences between them? (Partly forced on me by some parts not being available in Dark Red.)

I finished my Lego Movie logo build. Plan is to have series 12 crawling all over it.

This is awesome !! did you have the instruction or you did it just with the pictures ?? 2 thumbs up !!Bravo

Built the Cuusoo Curiosity Rover #21101 yesterday with the kids, they loved it as did I, Had to pry it away from my son "it's for display only". I hope they make more of the NASA space sets I have seen in Cuusoo, maybe make a series of them.

BuriedinBricks

Put the finishing touches on this in the early morning hours. I try to make a title 3D mosaic for our LUG displays (and for a profile pic on our facebook page). We were a little late for the holidays this year, so I tried my hand at the yeti instead.

rancorbait

I built a MOC of my favorite rock/metal band Demon Hunter on LDD.





Here's one of their songs if anyone wants to know their of style of tunes is ;-)

Any other fans out there? :-)

AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz

@paperballpark Awesome job on those engines!

Paperballpark

@AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz Thanks! I'm currently in the process of changing the bits between the wheels, to make them look less 'boxy'.

cheshirecat

^Very lovely trains, whats next? Although the size of all those images crashes my phone!

Paperballpark

Sorry! Maybe I should just show the thumbnails next time.

I want to finish those two first, but next will be displaying them at Bradford and Wakefield in Feb. Then I need to get PF for the black one. After that, who knows? I've not had any ideas as to what to do next yet.

Built Haunted House last week - the largest set I've built. Wish we had room for a modular street,but no chance of that in the current apartment. Suspect I'll dismantle in a few weeks to finally build Helm's Deep...or two.
