What are you building right now?

Sounds like a plan to me! :D

So I am finally done with this build. I rebuilt this four times: 1993 Mazda RX7



I am still not sure if lights or no lights

Love those. I haven't stickered up my Speed Champions cars either. Thought maybe I was weird. Nice to see someone else who doesn't do it. 

I had had to rip apart my Ferrari truck for parts for an Alien Chestburster I'm gathering parts for.

Finally finished the Catwoman mosaic after having to wait for an order of 450 black bricks:

Wife's student brought her some Creator instruction booklets, knowing my boys & I are fans.
Built the main model for #31017 Sunset Speeder, not too impressive.

More impressed with the alternate car build for #31008 Thunder Wings.

@blogzilly  Most of my Speed Champions do not have stickers applied.  I applied stickers to the first one I bought and keep thinking I should really go buy a second one.

@gelkster I prefer the sunset speeder in Classic Space livery

10/10 would drive a lifesize version.

Was it cheaper to do all 1x1s?

I did the same to my first one. Then I tore them all off and figured I would keep an eye out for it and look for a deal. I'm trying to learn how to make a sort of good interior base for an 8-wide car and then I want to start converting a bunch of them over to that. I like two seater automobiles.

OMG that's awesome, reflects #487 Space Cruiser my favorite set! I should build this one tonight!

Love it. Looks like something Wonder Woman would cruise around in. :)

Just about to build this classic! (Should have waited till Thursday to make it a throwback)

DoctorMcGann

It's so cool to see something like that still new and sealed after 17 years!

Wookie2

Finally managed to get around to building my 75827-1 Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ which unexpectedly took me nearly 2 days to complete. It's quite a build but the finished product is awesome (just wish it was a little more sturdy when fitted together but it's holding nicely for now).

I remember that set when I was a kid! still have it too, no box though. got tired of storing them all once kids came around.

I'm pretty sure it would be much cheaper to use bigger parts, but I'm trying to be a bit of a "pixel art purist" and only use 1x1s.

It's also a lot more work this way... :O

The price isn't a huge problem because I don't keep them built. I take them apart to build others. Otherwise I'd have the house full of these things.

bandit778

Has anyone tried making up a mosaic using different heights of plates to give a picture depth?
(1 plate for black, 2 plates for dark grey, 3 plates for light grey & 4 plates for white) 
I have thought about having a go at this (in grey scale for a start) just to see what it turns out like and wondered if anyone else had tried it?

 Blast from the past and what a terrific solid Tumbler this is.

Solid Tumbler you say? Sounds like an oxymoron.....on many levels.

stlux

Could the Lepin pictures please be reserved for the counterfeit/clone threads?

Legoboy

So, had a minor back operation this morning.  Probably not the smartest idea to spend the afternoon finishing the Porsche then.

It's a beauty though.

stlux

@Legoboy I hope the operation went OK and wish you a speedy recovery!

Agreed

^^^ All the best @Legoboy

I must comment that I'm shocked that TLG are condoning speeding with the velocity being reported by the speedo in the Porsche... ;-)

legobod

Hardly had time to stick two bricks together since starting my new job :(

piratemania7

@Legoboy wish you a speedy recovery.

On another note I am still working feverishly to build used sets  - I want to see whats missing pieces and whats complete - looking to sell/pare down my collection and this is step 1 of that.

IceCreamClone

Put together #75082 when I got home from school today, nice build. One subtle touch that I really liked was the use of rail pieces along the hinges for the wings to make sure they all go to the same position without having to fiddle with them.

If you have any Star Wars sets to sell, please post them here! I would love to have a look...

#75082 is the only one I wasn't able to pick during Walmart's sale a few months back, glad to hear it's a good build.

Hey...them studs look kinda funny

@Legoboy Now THAT is a beautiful ride...I have only built one Technic set. Keep meaning to pick up some more. Every time I see pics like this I take a few steps closer to doing it.

gelkster

Just finished Bricklinking #6973 Deep Freeze Defender for <$20. Impressive ship! Good sized & modular.

Next I'm going to check my collection to see if I can make #70707 CLS-89 Eradicator Mech.

blogzilly

I have been dabbling with some photography in my pre-move days. Not a ton of actual building. Considering picking up a new camera. Definitely looking for some new lights and a backdrop idea when I set up in the new house.

MrJackson

Finally started laying out Brickadelphia on Wednesday night when my Bricks and Pieces order for many, many 6x6 DBG tiles for roads came. An 8'x12' layout is actually more space-consuming than I thought given the constraints of my basement. Two skyscrapers done, a third well on the way, and three more started/mapped out. Once I eventually make a light-box I'll take pictures. Sooner or later I'll get to my CLAAS Tractor, 911 GT3, Ferris Wheel, Brick Bank, and Beetle that I have queued up built.

SumoLego

Planning to commenced building on my double-facade Palace Cinema - featuring a 3-D portal monster.

(And I'm definitely going to MOD a Sanctum Sanctorum into the top level of the Pet Shop.)

blogzilly

Brickadelphia is a cool name. 

patsfan12

Just finished these bad boys. Gotta say Slave 1 was way more fun to build and I love how massive they are. Unfortunately my wife thinks they are both hideous so they will need to remain in the basement. Oh well, at least she didn't complain when I bought them.

Is that because she doesn't know the price of them?

A couple of recent builds.. #8865 and a Red #10225

325 km/h isn't speeding in Germany, which is, after all, the home of Porsche.

More of an issue is the fact that the real car won't actually go quite that fast!

William_Townsley

I'm halfway through #71040 and it's looking brilliant already. It's fun and challenging to build

TheBigLegoski

Just build this set: Battle Droid Troop Transport
#75086
It was actually quite an intricate build, and took me longer than expected. And I am already such a slow builder.
Anyway it was fun, and I think it is a really cool looking speeder, even though in the movie there are a lot more of these droids (a 112 to be exact) all folded up in sort of a fetus position stacked in multiple layered racks before being deployed, instead of the upright standing position in which these (mere) twelve infantry droids are carried around. Unfortunately Lego did not design these little droids in such a way that folding them up similar to the film is possible. It would have been nice if the droids would have independent movable legs. Still the design of this vehicle is nice, and instantly recognizable IMO. I have grown quite fond of these comical Lego battle droids, despite their shortcomings, such as not being able to turn their heads sideways, and the leg piece I already mentioned before.

ps.
This set does not include any stickes.....    Yeaaahhh!

SumoLego

More proof I occasionally build stuff.


And my inspiration for a 'trunk or treat' portal beast.  (This is a strange event where kids do Halloween Trick-or-Treating out of the boots of cars.  Obligatory decorating must occur.)

starwars4ever

Just got #7119 and built it! It was a pretty good bargain at $15!

You're so bally logical, shush! ;-)

Nah! I just want to know what car Porsche let TLG's designers play with if they were going that fast. They obviously just forgot which was which!

Mind you, it's also a poignant reminder of why you shouldn't lane-hog in Germany and why you should double-check that blur in the mirror before pulling out.

My brickshelf gallery. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?msearch=ZeeEssBS comments and criticisms are welcome. Hope you guys like something you see it is mainly made up of mini models. Mini star wars, mini trains. mini LOTR. A large star wars MOC and 2 prince of persia alt builds.

I broke my Golden Lego rule today - no non OT SW sets. I suppose on a timeline though, Rogue One is as close to OT as you'll get.

Halfway through Krannic's shuttle (bags 1 - 4 done) and is looking pretty big, with a canny selection of minifigs. The 1 x 2 stud gap on the top surface of the big wing built looks odd - i'll have to look at the source material to determine why the gap is there if something in a later bag doesn't fill it.

Don't know why I jumped in and cracked this set open when my MOC Batcave/Wayne Manor is still begging for my attention.

Am I correct in assuming you drew some inspiration from set #75103  First Order Landing craft/Troop transporter for your Rogue One Imperial troop transport? I am referring to the technic element to deploy the boarding/exit ramp of course. I don't know what this ship is officially called, but it is the ship you see land or take off in one of the trailers isn't it?!?

starwars4ever

Had a lot of fun putting together this classic!
