@SprinkleOtter
In the prison cage in the back of the ship (seemed a bit unfair to have everyone gang up on the only member of the Robot team accessible because he's sat on the outside).

TheOriginalSimonB · August 2016

Adapted the smaller model from the salvage mech with spare parts I had lying about.

Just finished a more Minifig friendly cab for the BWE based on the combine harvester.

Recce · August 2016

Working on the Ferris Wheel right now.

JudgeChuck · August 2016

^Looking forward to doing the same on Saturday! :-)

@pricey73 I love it, and I love how that set is pretty much minifig scale aside from the cab. I suggest flipping around that side panel window to get rid of the gap.

pricey73 · August 2016

@bobabricks cheers for that, I knew as soon as I saw it I wanted to do a Minifig scale cab, the gap has been sorted. As per comment, It was loosely based on the cab of the harvester, I'm pleased with the result though.

Recce · August 2016

Done! :)

JudgeChuck · August 2016

^ Nice mods! 6 different coloured gondolas! :-)

tallblocktoo · August 2016

Wow very cool Recce! Like all the changes.

Recce · August 2016

Thanks, just some colour changes and minor add-ons for the wheel.

SumoLego · August 2016

@Pitfall69... there is a Millenium Falcon on the itinerary this weekend!

Pitfall69 · August 2016

There better be!!! @hoodaddy knows all too well my obsession for parts and pieces ;)

hoodaddy · August 2016

The bins of parts, oh, so many bins...

by the way, do you have a...

JooTog · August 2016

Updating phase one of my modular garden MOC and adjusting phase two in LDD to place a PaB order at S@H this weekend.

It seems that phase three will require my first Bricklink order; but that will come later.

My modular garden is not that impressive, but for my first "real" MOC I think its OK.

KingAlanI · August 2016

#10680 Garbage Truck - was gonna part out 2, but then decided to build 1. would look nice in my road layout, and I do care about recycling. It seemed unnecessary to put plain bricks in the dumpster, and the model is slightly above scale, but otherwise I like the set.

SumoLego · August 2016

How does everyone like my Millenium Falcon?

(Maybe next week...)

krklint · August 2016

a pile of empty bags! That's what I'm building... as I'm opening up a treasure trove of series 15 and series 16 CMF bags... The clean-up shall be divine :)

Fauch · August 2016

done with poe's x wing. it looks fantastic. actually maybe my favourite lego spaceship.

JudgeChuck · August 2016

I have just finished bag 3 of #10247 Ferris Wheel, which was fairly repetitive, as I am expecting bag 4 to be... However, it wasn't dull and it was definitely enjoyable bringing the two "wheels" together and attaching them to the frame...

I actualy sweated a bit trying to clamp the 2 wheels together...

#60134 Fun in the Park
Lots of cute little models. Put the youth soccer players with my other sports stuff, but attached the rest to my park MOC. added some other dog figurines.

I had a bit of trouble getting the bike wheels to snap into the frame.

I also like #41106 Pop Star Tour Bus. :)

I have a huge plastic bag in my room (from target when buying a large set) for carrying recyclables to the bin, and a lot of that is LEGO packaging or scraps from packing BL orders.

You definitely need a lot of space to assemble the two halves of the wheel, but I found it pretty straightforward. You just have to be careful and methodical when inserting the cross-axles.
I was going to save bags 4 for this evening, but I caved in slightly and assembled one of each gondola last night. :-)

Bumblepants · August 2016

Found a single copy of #60016 Octan truck in a derelict Carrefour here. Was even in a plastic security case so the box was perfect! So pleased to finally have this one.

brumey · August 2016

yay.
i just built #3180 with my nephew last weekend!

OCTAN ftw

just built an overlord dragon moc. i haven't seen very many good renditions of this character.

I love your version of the overlord dragon. Do you happen to have an LDD file for it (or parts list?) I would love to build that to fight against the other ninjago dragons we have at our house.

Bricklover18 · August 2016

Really enjoyed building this set, and even happier I got it for $35.

bobabricks · August 2016

Just finished building #10151 on the Greyhound bus up to Kamloops. Of course using downloaded instructions, was too scared to bring the paper manual!

chrisalddin · August 2016

did the boat build of #31052.
i am also thinking about getting 2 more copy of this set at some point.

piratemania7 · August 2016

Midway through #6276. Difficult to complete any build these days in one go with a 1.5 year old running around. At least she likes taking carrots from various castle sets and feeding the towns people.

I enjoyed too... not at $35 but at $49; still a good deal I think.

But not so much the part where I used three dark blue parts instead of black early on and realized it at the very end :-(

Shib · August 2016

Built the Batmobile from the 60's Batcave today - absolutely love it. That could have been a great set on it's own!

BrickDancer · August 2016

Finished the VW Beetle in 1 night. I really like this model and color pops nicely. Only mistake I made was placement of the windshield stickers being all the way back instead of all the way forward to line up with the roof.

BrickDancer · August 2016

And here's the Beetle compared to the other Creator Expert cars

tallblocktoo · August 2016

Have them all! I've enjoyed them all! Have three of them side by side. Truthfully haven't built the fourth but I anticipate it will be delightful.

plasmodium · August 2016

^^Out of interest, why don't people count the first Creator Beetle in this line-up generally? Or is that a can of worms that's best left closed?

BrickDancer · August 2016

I actually have the original VW Beetle too (color substituted tho). And the design aesthetic of layered stud up building is very different compared to all the SNOT styling of the newer Creator vehicles. To the point of different enough as to be distracting if placed together in a pic. Plus it's a huge difference in scale. Here's side by side pics for better illustration.

plasmodium · August 2016

Ta. Never seen comparison shots, and I've wondered why. TBH, I can see advantages to both designs. But I think the newer one is definitely 'cuter'.

BrickDancer · August 2016

^I agree, I prefer the newer Beetle too if I had to choose one.

starwars4ever · August 2016

Just about to start #75116 Finn.

Ljosmyndun · August 2016

My first post here! Currently building the #10253 Big Ben :)

Yes, it could've, couldn't it? And the helicopter. Wonder why they put it all together in a massive UCS style mega set? :-)

Recce · August 2016

Converted one of the black gondolas to a white one, but I think it looks too plain due to the other parts being white as well.

Their designs couldn't be more different! Upon initial glance, I wouldn't identify them as the same base vehicle.

SeanTheCollector · August 2016

Just broke the seals on a Minecraft #21122 "The Nether Fortress" set which I picked up today from John Lewis. I got them to price match Argos at £42.99 (38% discount). Obviously I can't get it from Argos since it's sold out there! :)

BrickDancer · August 2016

Almost finished building #3450 Statue of Liberty but stuck and confused starting of the Head at Step 58-59. Anyone else have tips on this part of the build?

flord · August 2016

Just finished this today, finally. Well, 98% finished.

Just more small order to replace some substitutions I had to make. A big substitution was using regular 1x2 sand green in place of the modified with groove brick. I was going to use the masonry brick in its place but I thought this look was more consistent. What do ya'll think?

I learned a lot building this. Who designed it? Jamie Berard? My two favourite things are the tiled ground floor and the inverted slopes that create the curtains. That was pretty ingenious.

I also learned that being an AFOL is a specific hobby where one never stops buying. You never have enough of the bricks you need.

What are you building right now?
