Double trouble

I built this spaceship to showcase some unusual pieces that come in flavors of red and blue. The build process started with me arranging those parts and filling in the gaps with white bricks to complete the ship. You can watch a short description video on Flickr.

LEGO Friends 2012 parts review – sets 3933, 3187, 3183, 3936 [Review]

The just released LEGO Friends theme introduces an array of new colors for common elements. Taking parts from 3933 Olivia’s Invention Workshop, 3187 Butterfly Beauty Shop, 2X 3183 Stephanie’s Cool Convertible, 2X 3936 Emma’s Fashion Design Studio, and my own collection, I built a spaceship to show a use for the new pieces. The interesting Continue reading →

Get To Da Choppa!

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve built anything with my own Lego, but I’m going to post something anyways. I built this light transport helicopter months ago, and have finally managed to get the photos together. I tried to spice things up with a little scene this time, although it may be too little for Continue reading →

3LUG Presents: King Over the Children of Pride

Another BrickFair has passed (Nannan posted a nice wrapup), and that means another joint science fiction display by 3LUG. For those who aren’t aware, 3LUG is made up of myself and Nick Kappatos. This year, we once again made use of an utter abundance of green bricks (one shouldn’t let such resources go to waste). Continue reading →

Alien Starfighter

Yes, I know I’m only supposed to build Castle stuff, but I got on a Space kick. So sue me. I was trying to build a fighter that conformed to the Alien Conquest livery. I think I succeeded. I’m planning on this flying over my section of the Numereji display at BrickCon 2011.

Mirage, sanctuary of the guardians

Tyler and I present our third collaborative build of a sanctuary in the sky called Mirage. For this project, we took on the challenge of building a large diorama without a baseplate. The result is a 7′ X 7′ creation composed of over 150 modular octagonal platforms. The building process started in January and the Continue reading →

Oasis

Tyler and I are proud to present our second collaborative display called Oasis, built for Brickworld 2011. This 5′ X 7′ project was completed from April to June and contains approximately 25,000 pieces. It was inspired by the idea of a spinning wheel towering above a pool of moving water. The story goes that long Continue reading →

Shiver me Timbers!

And now for something completely different. I seldom build anything Pirate and I’ve never tried anything quite like this before. The goofy look on his face appeals to me, so I may have to leave it together for awhile…at least until Talk Like a Pirate Day. By the way, this was built for Forbidden Cove’s Continue reading →

Tomb of the Beloved

When I first got into the LEGO hobby, I built a ton of small-ish creations, but never posted them. The first thing I posted for anyone to see was the Ruins of Mourning. It was something I was incredibly proud of. Still am, in fact. Three years ago, I ended up entering sort of a Continue reading →

Iron Mountain Legion Prowler APC

I’m sure it’s a surprise to see me blog about anything other than our charity auctions right now, but I’m giving it a shot. Here’s an APC for my Iron Mountain Legion military theme. I built and photographed this creation before my son was born in January, and I’m finally managing to get it uploaded. Continue reading →

[April Fools'!] Spinjitsu Arena!

The legendary duo Tyler and I have created yet another epic collaboration called Spinjitsu Arena! We’ve hyped it up for the past three days with our usual string of teasers, and now the moment of revelation is here. Witness the awesome Ninjago spinner action topped with explosive Banelings! There’s so much going on that we Continue reading →

Stairway to heaven

It’s been a while since I posted many Black Fantasy creations, but that doesn’t mean the theme is dead in my heart. This diorama called Ascension depicts two space marines escaping the infestation pit through an ascending catwalk to the helipad. After making this, I noticed that I’ve used shades of the three primary colors Continue reading →

The Phantom Cart by Dali in Lego

My latest work is not something I typically build. It’s my first forced perspective build, my first imitation of a 2D image, and also my first time building a MOC for a single photo. You can see the original painting and its meaning on Flickr.

The Great Emancipator

With my latest creation in the Iron Mountain Legion theme, I wanted to add some levity. It’s a post apocalyptic military force, but I imagine their grip on historical record might be a bit lacking. I imagine them recovering a prewar robot, and deciding to turn it into an inspirational tool, as well as a Continue reading →

Ravel: a picture puzzle

My latest creation is a picture puzzle called Ravel. You are a postman trying to escape from a bizarre world in which you have no idea how you got there. Click on the picture for the riddle on how to solve the puzzle. It’s inspired by a childrens book called It’s for You and the Continue reading →
