I like this a lot! While I won't pretend I know much about Touhou (I only like some of the music ) I think this looks really nice! The base is a bit too simple, a black frame could ad a bit of style for example, but the Tree looks natural and pretty. The Figure has a nice amount of detail for the super small scale This chibi style of building isn't for me, I prefer 1:6 Scale, but I am kind of envious about the lack of gravity issues you have in this scale

Wow, this turned out very well! I know very well how difficult it can be to build something in shapes you have no experience with. When I Built my first male human figure in my GOBLIN SLAYER MOC I had real trouble, especially with the additional weight and shape of a more bulky male stature. For your first attempt at a horse you hit it in the first shot in my opinion! The head shape especially is very well done. The Knight looks pretty good too, only the upper legs look a bit flat and weird imo, but I know this is a difficult area and don't have any real ideas to improve it... The leaves in the armor arn't for me, but that's a question of taste. The base looks really nice, will it be the same design for all the other chess pieces? Personally I dislike the use of transparent supports, but without it such a dynamic positioning wouldn't have been possible. Have you already built this MOC irl? I'd be especially interested how the shoulder and ellbow joint of the arm holding the spear are made, that looks quite heavy with a lot of leverage at the shoulder. Maybe I can learn a thing or two Anyway, overall this is awesome!

I finally got to MOC something I wanted to build for a long time: A Panzer IV in minifig scale, complete with the Anglerfish Team from Girls und Panzer The Build was quite fun, because the Panzer IV has a very angular but still not too simple of a design, which made it a nice challenge to get the shapes right. I wanted to have all the minifigures to look out of their hatches, because this way all the characters are visible and it is also how the tank is shown in the series outro. Just lucky the Panzer IV has such a nice hatch layout where every crew member has his own hatch. The Panzer IV is continuously upgraded in the Anime series, this MOC portrays the Ausf. F2 with the long 75mm gun and additional frontal protection. The Minifigures where created by my friend bricksofmaze, he does a lot of minifigure builds on Instagram "@bricksofmaze" if you want to check him out. The Tank ist built with a full interior, to access it the turret including turret basket can be pulled and the superstructure can be removed as well: Turret pull Gunners seat with turret motor, controls an a comfy heart cushion Loaders seat with ammo rack Superstructure removal Hull Interior with engine bay manual transmission, driver and radio operator seat and some more ammo. As you might have guessed this Tank is a display piece and is not able to drive. The tank is fixed to the base and none of the wheels can move, only the track tensioning system works Panzer vor!

Yeah sorry guys but the Instructions on Rebrickable are currently offline for personal reasons. But don't worry, they'll be back in early September 2024. Sorry if this causes you problems, I can only ask for some patience.

@CastleRail I thought of goblin slayer too when looking at this MOC, but I wasn't sure if I should bring it up. Somehow there don't seem to be a lot of fans who MOC Anime related stuff. Or maybe I am not looking in the right places... To anyone who likes Goblin Slayer I'd be really thankful if you'd check out my Goblin Slayer Figure 1:6 Scale MOC over in the Action figure Section

I finally completed this Figure of Goblin Slayer & Priestess form the Goblin Slayer Manga/Anime Series. Obviously I used some alternative bricks that are not offered by LEGO, but there is no way I am building armor in anything but flat silver. The figure itself has been completed for a few months now, but I couldn't find anyone who would print on a 10x10 dish for the shield, so in the end I had to do it myself with spraypaint. This caused me problems since I had never spraypainted anything in more than a single color, but after a few tries and a few ruined pieces I got a decent result. The original idea was to make a half-circle base and place the two figures side by side. But as it turned out Goblin Slayer was way too heavy, and a support was needed to keep the figure from tipping over. In the end I placed the 2 figures back and connected them at the back to back so they can support each other. as you can see there is a support running from the Priestess back to her hair, and the Hair is connected to Goblin Slayers belt. To make both characters visible I placed the whole Base on a turntable so it can be freely rotated. it has little rubber track inserts at the bottom to stand secure. I originally wanted to place a motor inside (not from LEGO, too loud and power hungry) to slowly spin the MOC, but I haven't figured this out as I have no experience the electronics. Here are two more pictures of the base details: Overall I am quite happy with how this Project turned out, even if there were some unusually big annoyances along the way. I hope you like my MOC :) Greetings Gray Gear

This is so awesome! I really like all the details on the walls and counter. Also big respects to your daughter for doing an excellent job on those Quest Parchments. Well Done.

Interesting Project, and it seems to work surprisingly well. Just shows what can be done with enough traction, which the unmodified LEGO track links are notoriously poor at. Also, sorry for being a Tank nerd, but a cannon on motorized tracks or wheels doesn't make a tank, but an SPG (self propelled gun). There are additional components required to make a tank.

...Fow he who is made of the MTN Dew Spagetti knows no mercy.

I played a lot of Fire Emblem Heroes a few years back, and Sothe was my best Dagger if I needed one. I also watched my Sister play Radiant Dawn sometimes, and she liked Micaiah a lot :) I think it is nice choice of characters and it is clear you put a lot of work into these Figs with some nice details. The articulation is also very impressive. But I really cant like the body shape, its very blocky and doesn't look very organic. I know the size constraints in this scale are way worse then what i am used to, 1:6 is literally double. To each their own, in my opinion this scale is just too small for LEGO. I guess we just build very differently, I prefer a stationary figure with good looks in a single pose and sacrifice flexibility when needed. I dont mean to offend or insult your work, I am just putting down my thoughts. Gray Gear

@scarovich I am glad you like it! I finished a upgraded version of this figure a few days ago. The 3 Areas improved were the Ear, the Skirt and the Base. I still have to order the Bricks to build the figure IRL, so digital only for now.

Thank you all for your Ideas I would like this to turn very slowly on my desk, like, in a always on scenario. Thats why I need something silent, like really silent. I doubt any LEGO/LEGO alternative motors will be suitable. @2GodBDGlory Yeah that base is overbuilt for sure, I got a bit carried away. I got no problems rebuilding the base completely it if the engine placement requires it. @Davidz90 What you posted sounds along the lines of what i need. How loud is the motor? In the video i couldn't hear anything. Also, is there some sort of power converter needed? i cant imagine the Motor will just plug strainght into the wall outlet somehow lol.

Hi everyone, I have not posted here for a while because I moved to more system based MOCs. But now i built this Turntable as part of my newest MOC, and i need some help. As you can see I have completed the Turntable, and it works very well with very little Friction. The Part I need help with is with the electronics: I need some recommendations for a electric Motor to put in the base to keep the Turntable spinning very slowly. The motor should both be extremely quiet, have a low rpm output (100 rpm would be perfect) and small enough to fit into this MOC. The motor does not need to have a lot of torque or power, the input is geared down with a worm gear already. I don't know how to supply power yet, I would like it best if I could use some kind of Power adapter to plug into the power outlet. But idk if this is possible. As you can probably guess I am beginner in this field, but the Bricks for the MOC have already been ordered, so there is no turning back! Any Pointers would be apprechiated. This is the whole MOC, a display figure of Goblin Slayer and Priestess from the Goblin Slayer Series. Thanks in advance, Gray Gear

@StudWorks your design is very flexible, nice. Clearly you put a lot more focus on range of motion that I do. As long as the figure can do the pose I want it to I am satisfied. And a clean look are more important for me.

Only thing I can think of is using these and the counterpart for the ellbows, and use bars so they can be turned in multiple directions. Personally I don't like this super small scale, I prefer ~1:6 Scale. You can just work a lot more details in a larger Scale, but I admit you might get some issues with the figures not standing well on 2 Legs due to the added weight. I use Ball joints for the arms and some other places for my Anime Figures, and it works quite well.
