What are you building right now?

Brickfan50 · July 2016

Just finished the very interesting build of JKBrickworks' combination safe. It was by no means a cheap one. First I used my own building stock, then I 'bought' from my own BL store and at last I needed two BL orders with a total of 55 euro to get it complete. But I think it's worth it :-)

I really love some of the creations JKBrickworks does!

Yeah, I also really want to do the Sisyphus Kinetic Sculpture but that's a very expensive one to build. Especially if you want to build the outer base.

Bought #60134 - Fun in the Park today (and got the #30350 Volcano Jackhammer promo).

Added some extra parts (mostly fences) and removed the green plates in favor of the baseplate. The plan is to eventually make a make it into a 2 baseplate set (32x64).

And so it begins...

bandit778 · July 2016

Finally got round to combining my two hobbies.

Lego and Motorbikes.

Have been meaning to get and build this for ages.

It's a great little set and the build turned out bigger than I thought it would.

This one could be spending quite a while on display - although I am going to try and somehow mock up some foot pegs, brake discs and a decent seat (sitting on top of an exposed shock absorber is just asking for trouble).

JooTog · July 2016

My modular garden taking shape. There are a few pieces as placeholders. Looks like I will have to place my first order at BrinckLink for the missing parts.

Finished building the #10247 Ferris Wheel yesterday night and it is huge and beautiful!
It took me about 6-7 hours to complete. Totally a recommendation from me to buy at retail!

tallblocktoo · July 2016

I just wish they would do a few other fairground sets. But yes I have no regreets it is a beautiful set!

piratemania7 · July 2016

^ I was disappointed not seeing anything this past May/June - not sure if TLG is taking a hyatus this year or not from the fairground/carnival theme.

The Ferris Wheel of course was/is a bit different than the mixer - but still I wonder if we will get something next year?

GeordiePaul · July 2016

Started the Ghostbusters HQ today. Managed to make it through all the #1 bags with a four year old by my side. He likes to 'help'. We put his Hulkbuster set together yesterday so I tried distracting him a bit with that.

Will desperately try not to burn through this build, but I'll probably fail miserably. I can never just savour the build and stretch it out a bit :-(

ecmo47 · July 2016

Kiki: Love the Ferris wheel! One nice mod is to make three red cars and replace one of each color. The red disk are a little rare and expensive but they really brighten up the mostly.

Bricklover18 · July 2016

Currently on bag 5 of the Simpsons house. Build is good, only a little repetitive.

kiki180703 · July 2016

@ecmo47 That's actually a great idea! Thanks!

povolenie · July 2016

I picked up the box with 5580 that I stored in my room at my parents house around 1993 when I stopped playing with. It was the last Lego set that my parents bought me for Christmas 1990 and it was pretty expensive at that time considering the low salaries in Czechoslovakia. It cost one third of my father's salary at that time.

After 24 years in storage the set was like new, I just needed to brush the dust from some pieces. And the result is on the pictures. Still a very good looking model.

I didn't know that #31039 Blue Power Jet was minifigure-scale!
Got it yesterday 30% off @ Foothill Ranch Target store - There was one set left.

I thought I read somewhere that there is a Carousel coming out this year - in October (autumn) time. Now where did I read that....(or dream it!).

MaffyD · July 2016

I can see that jet being fairly easy to mod into a shield fighter jet... Can't wait to build my copy, even if I only got a 20% discount :-)

Yes, that's him :) He is a Top Gun pilot. Judges dog shows on weekends.

Found #60084 for $9 at my local Walmart which I have been watching for awhile, so I picked that up and built it last night. Also started on my last deep sea explorer set, #60095 which I got off Bricklink. I am now thinking of how to display all the sets. Maybe something like JANGBRICKS did?

JudgeChuck · July 2016

I managed to build the following Minecraft sets tonight, while watching the highlights of the cricket and then listening to some great tunes on Absolute Classic Rock:

#21113 The Cave
#21114 The Farm
#21115 The First Night
#21119 The Dungeon

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/3o/vify378p3e8h.jpg

I probably won't get much built over the weekend, as I'm going to be working most of Saturday day and night and half of Sunday, but I'm going to try to get at least another couple of sets built.

Once all done, I'll be able to start putting everything together. Should be fun! :-)

catwrangler · July 2016

About to start the third evening of my very leisurely build of Infernox Captures The Queen - been doing a little every night while marathoning Stranger Things, which I recommend. Infernox himself is bigger than I expected - I'm often pleasantly surprised by scale with Lego; even when the box art makes it obvious how big stuff is in relation to minifigs, I'm bad at translating that mentally into its actual size. I'm looking forward to hooking him up to Jestro's Evil-Mobile. :D

I finished up 2 more of Mortesv's GR-75 Rebel Transports this weekend. I had fun tweeking the design and making one LBG instead of white. Next up is the fleet center-piece, the Nebulon-B. Still waiting on the last parts order but should have enough to get started.

JudgeChuck · July 2016

^ Very nice! That Nebulon-B MOC, if it's the one I'm thinking of, is incredible... Good luck! :-)

JudgeChuck · July 2016

I actually managed to build a few more sets last night:

#21117 The Ender Dragon
#21120 The Snow Hideout
#21121 The Desert Outpost
#21122 The Nether Fortress
#21123 The Iron Golem
#21124 The End Portal
#21125 The Jungle Tree House
#21126 The Wither

So I just now have three sets to go:

#21116 Crafting Box
#21118 The Mine
#21128 The Village

I need to decide which parts of #21116 to build and then it'll be a case of starting to plan the layout and how I'm going to create a bit of a mountain... I'm definitely thinking that another PAB wall trip is going to be in order...

I also need to work out a nice way of joining #21124 The End Portal to #21117 The Ender Dragon and #21122 The Nether Fortress to the whole layout, but it should be pretty straightforward. It's more of a layout issue than anything else.

JudgeChuck · July 2016

Progress:

tallblocktoo · July 2016

Looks fun! Never been into Minecraft but seem so modular and think one could have endless possibilities.

Fauch · July 2016

wow, did you stay up all night?

JudgeChuck · July 2016

^ Not at all... It is one benefit of my sorting regime by theme that it makes putting sets together very quick and efficient. I think I did the smaller sets in about 10 minutes...
It also helped that I keep The Ender Dragon itself built, so I didn't have to rebuild that model at least, just the landscape, which was very quick.

SeanTheCollector · July 2016

I just finished building Minecraft #21121 "The Desert Outpost". Builds quickly. I still can't quite decide if I like the theme. I don't play the game but I have read how to play it and watched videos on You Tube of other people playing! However, I keep telling myself that the parts will come in handy if I give up on the theme! :)

The only sets that I'm missing are #21127 "The Fortress" and #21128 "The Village". I will wait until double VIP points to get The Village. Anyone know when The Fortress is due out? I suspect that we are coming to the end of the line with Minecraft since there are not many new things left to capture.

JudgeChuck · July 2016

@SeanTheCollector LOL! You're only missing The Fortress and The Village and you're still not sure whether you like the theme??!! Wow... :-)

JudgeChuck · July 2016

I've just finished building all the basic sets and now I need to work out how to fit them all together in a meaningful way...

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/45/a3lghn2jkm3w.jpg

It's all a bit of a mess at the moment...

GeordiePaul · July 2016

Reluctantly abandoned the second floor of the Ghostbusters HQ half way through to take some time out to finally build the 9492 Tie Fighter. That kept my four year happy while I resumed work on the GBHQ!

LEGO_Dad77 · July 2016

I posted this over in the "LEGO Status" thread, guess it really goes here.

LEGO_Dad77 · July 2016

Post keeps getting cutoff... The rest: This last weekend, in four separate building sessions (Fair was in town, and I got a LOT of playtime in with the Boy), I built my personal Holy Grail LEGO set: #4483, the AT-AT! After years of being outbid and /or it just being too expensive, I FINALLY found one in complete & perfect condition (box, bags, everything!)! I sturdied-up the sides of the head a bit, and added/reconfigured a few pieces of "armor", and I'm happy happy HAPPY. Probably my favorite or second favorite set of all time. Other favorites are the Millenium Falcon, Ewok Village, Lone Ranger Gold Mine, Camouflaged Outpost, Forbidden Island, and....... EVERY set I've ever bought. Anyway, here he is, proudly guarding the piano.

EDIT: Got it, no Emoji's allowed huh? XD

brumey · July 2016

unboxed a misb #70401, #70402 and #70403

got them misb, way under RRP. i have a hard time unboxing ninjago or nexo. but castle, it just has to get unboxed and displayed

ecmo47 · July 2016

Love the 4486 AT-AT. It was the first Lego set my wife bought me for a Christmas present and one of my first Lego sets that cost $100.00 or more. I also received a #4483 mini AT-AT in my stocking. Was that really 12 years ago?

AdeelZubair · July 2016

I've pretty much finished my LEGO Brand Store, I just need to place the final Bricklink orders to post it online in August! I hope it delivers given how long I've been working on it and how much I've promoted this project. All I can say is I've spent way too much on this MOC and cannot wait for it to finally be over...

LEGO Brand Store - Modular Building (WIP)

bandit778 · July 2016

Finally got round to doing the small mods to #42036 (was achieved quicker than expected thanks to incredibly quick delivery from @Calv 's brick link store Centralbricks).

Above - New exhaust, foot pegs, rear light cluster and a brake disc.
Below - New seat, flat handlebars, brake discs and indicators.

I had to change the angle of the front fairing slightly to stop the new handlebars hitting it and despite looking better, the front brake discs are probably classed as illegal connections in Lego terms because if the bike was to be extensively played with they would rub on the bottom of the spring (fortunately mine is only being displayed).
Quite happy with how it turned out.

JudgeChuck · July 2016

Well, I think that I've just about completed my LEGO Minecraft diorama... I'm not 100% happy with it, but I don't think it's too bad:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/dy/rm48y60hdrs3.jpg

More pictures here:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/albums/72157671681856736/with/28042359124/

I need to get a lot more bricks and plates, so that I can integrate The Jungle Treehouse, The Desert Outpost and The Nether Fortress / The Wither more.
I also need to get some more lights out and also my proper camera, rather than my phone...

TheMaker37 · July 2016

This was interesting to build since I started buying the newer modulars last year, PC, PS, PR, DO, BB. It was interesting to see how the building methods have evolved. I always thought it was ugly, but, as many things lego, the actual models is way different than a photo.

bandit778 · August 2016

Finished building #70815 but without the stickers.
Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would without them, which is just as well as Lego no longer have the sticker sets available.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/xi/87x5iij6gu3t.jpg

Have managed to find a few sets of stickers on Bricklink so will have to get a set from there.

chrisalddin · August 2016

over the weekend i have built 3 sets.
#75140 #75091 and #75135

now i just have to stop myself from building #31052 to soon.
i am dying to build it. but i just have to wait a little longer. and i will be done paying back mum and be all set for new lego buys and not having to full back on my backlog when i feel the need to build.

TheOriginalSimonB · August 2016

Just finished 70593 the green NRG wyvern. Sorry Lego, but it needs another two legs to be a dragon. Excellent build though.

GeordiePaul · August 2016

Just two #14 bags to go and I'll be all done with the Ghostbusters HQ. I read earlier that somebody didn't like the build and thought it was boring, but I enjoyed it. Especially the interior, it was more detailed than I was expecting.
