[MOC] Avatar: The Last Airbender skyline
thenightman89 replied to thenightman89's topic in LEGO Licensed
Thanks for all the kind feedback! I quickly fell in love with the show - I binged the entire thing in about a week and a half! I may be inspired to make more MOCs from it in the future...we'll see! -
Winter Village Sets - Rumours and Discussion
thenightman89 replied to Gearslover01's topic in LEGO Town
I still feel like the entire concept of an Elf Clubhouse is out of left field, but I can't help but enjoy the overall design. I feel like the inclusion of the big computer as one of the side builds is a bit odd... -

Winter Village Sets - Rumours and Discussion
thenightman89 replied to Gearslover01's topic in LEGO Town
I have to agree that the whole concept of an "Elf Clubhouse" is a bit strange and not an established part of winter holiday lore (near as I'm aware). But I'll try to reserve judgment until I see what exactly it is. -
[MOC] US Supreme Court Building
thenightman89 replied to thenightman89's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thanks for the kind words and sharing your thoughts! I've found that neoclassical pediments are always tough at this scale. For this build, I first tried out the same technique used in the Trafalgar Square set, which I think does a better job at closing the gap at the top. But very confusingly, when I built it in Bricklink Studio, the unsightly gap was still prominent. After a lot of experimentation, a simple hinge is the best solution I could come up with for now. -
I know a lot of people were disappointed that the Paris skyline did not include Notre Dame - so I had some fun modifying the official set to include it (along with the Panthéon). The Bricklink Studio file is available for free download here: https://rebrickable.com/users/benbuildslego/mocs/

Welcome to "The Happiest Place on Earth!" I designed a skyline for each of the four main Walt Disney World parks - with each park's primary icon in the center of each. The length of each skyline is the same (and identical length to the official London and Paris skyline sets). Any one who may be interested in instructions can find them here and on Rebrickable.com! MAGIC KINGDOM: EPCOT: HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS: ANIMAL KINGDOM: Let me know what you think!

D'oh - so sorry!

Thanks! :)

From left to right: Smugglers Run The Haunted Mansion Sleeping Beauty Castle Splash Mountain Monorail Space Mountain Step-by-step instructions for this build can be accessed here and on Rebrickable.com.

** 10,000 supporters could make this project a real LEGO set! Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Indiana Jones by clicking here and then click the “Support” button! ** This microscale build is constructed in the style of the LEGO Architecture Skyline series and features the iconic locations where famous archeologist, Indiana Jones, recovered priceless historical artifacts: The Temple of Doom (Sankara Stones) [1935, The Temple of Doom] The Well of Souls (The Ark of the Covenant) [1936, Raiders of the Lost Ark] Temple of the Sun (The Holy Grail) [1938, The Last Crusade] Unlike the historical artifacts (which belong in a museum!), this set belongs on your desk! This compact 650-piece set (9.4" L x 3.2" W x 3.7" H) makes for the perfect display piece for every fan of Indiana Jones. The set is also paired with a stand that includes three desirable minifigures from the popular films: Indiana Jones Marion Ravenwood Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Sr. The backside of the set also includes additional references to the films with a microscale mine car chase and the interior of the Grail Temple. Lego fans young and old will delight in creating these iconic locations and discovering their hidden secrets. If you love Indiana Jones and LEGO, I would be forever thankful for your support!

I designed Neuschwanstein Castle in the style of the LEGO Architecture series, and it contains about 1,276 pieces. This world famous castle is located in southern Bavaria and was built by Ludwig II (aka "The Mad King"). This Romanesque castle served as key inspiration for Walt Disney's own Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella Castles. Let me know what you think! I don't have instructions for this build just yet, but my other instructions can be found here and on Rebrickable.com.

Thanks for all the kind feedback! It was a definitely a fun and challenging building (with constant comparing to reference material). In the near future - I'll experiment with changing the foliage to represent winter and spring!

Thanks for the kind words! :D

LEGO Star Wars 2020 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
thenightman89 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I had to double-check to make sure it wasn't still April 1st! At last! -
I definitely applaud them for thinking outside the box, but since most of us here are TFOLs/AFOLs, this doesn't seem to be up our alley. I'm mostly wondering now if this is how all the sets will be, or if we'll get some traditional sets.

Last year I designed a Hogwarts MOC done in the Architecture Skyline-series: This micro design features the Hogwarts Express, the Forbidden Forest (with Aragog), Hagrid's Hut, a section of Hogwarts Castle, the Whomping Willow, and the Quidditch Field.
