    The Sea Pincer is a new Aquasharks sub, based on the design of the Stingray Sea Creeper or Crab. With two manipulator arms it is designed to quickly grab the energy crystals or sabotage the Aquanauts subs and under water bases. With extra stabilizer fins on the bottom of the craft and propellers that have an 180 degrees turn, it can also quickly back off and turn around for improved maneuverability. -- I finally obtained the Stingray set 6140/6109 today, which I have totally missed in my childhood apparently. And after assembling it for the first time, I wondered what it would look like in Aquasharks colors. So here is my quick ~1.5 hour build, I also added a small base and the Shark Scout mk2 that I had already made.

    I also made a smaller blacksmith shop to better fit in with other sets: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/188946-moc-blacksmith-shop-alternative-model-of-21325/

    Asger and his band of the Wolf are setting sail to their new destination to pillage. -- I wanted to take a picture of the boat I build for their hideout last year. Setting sail by Ids de Jong, on Flickr

    Latest impact of other themes on historic themes

    the Inventor replied to Wardancer's topic in LEGO Historic Themes

    Would rather have another colour than gold, however if we're getting the visor back that would certainly be nice, hopefully in more colours though. I want more pearl dark gray ones...

    [Moc] Forestmen's Hideout

    the Inventor replied to pantelis's topic in LEGO Historic Themes

    Great looking hideout. You've used some nice classic pieces together with new ones to create a nice hideout. I like the left one the best, the smaller one seems a bit to big for the tree it's build in, but together with the classic rope bridge you get a nice layout. Your Black Falcon castle looks also really nice.

    [MOC] Setting sail

    the Inventor replied to the Inventor's topic in LEGO Historic Themes

    @SirBlake They have far too few sets, and already had a water hideout, so a boat is fitting. @Feuer Zug Thanks. @GeoBrick Yeah, I made a crew of five and they just fit, even with some cargo. @jtooker Thanks, some small parts make an excellent head for the prow.

    [MOC] Aquasharks - Sea Pincer

    the Inventor replied to the Inventor's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes

    Thanks. @TeriXeri yeah you have to be careful especially the grey space ones you have to careful with. @tomfow I also have some ideas for a Aquanauts MOC.
  11. the Inventor
    Maybe, but they could have used the old/original figures with those sets in the video instead of those updated figures.
  12. the Inventor
    That is a good bet, those look like updated figures.

    @LEGO Train 12 Volts Thanks.
  14. the Inventor
    Maybe, but I think yellow would have worked better as a nod to the old shields. And blue would also be my preferred color. Hopefully they will introduce this Torso to the online BAM when the make that service available again.

    @Follows Closely I agree that it would be perfect then. Maybe that is possible but would require a more difficult construction, for example jumper plates do not exist in dark brown. The top beam would also have to be a plate higher to accompany the offset stud of the modified brick with stud on its side and the gap would have to be filled somehow, requiring some more brackets/tiles.

    @hoppa Thanks. See also the progress of the build: Ids on Twitter: "Trying out some timber framing (post-and-beam) with Lego. #LEGO #レゴ https://t.co/utpcgN0uPo" / Twitter And this picture: The top and bottom are cheese slopes, pushed in between those other cheese slopes. @Feuer Zug Thanks.

    The Meguro River (目黒川, Meguro-gawa) is a river which flows through Tokyo and is a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing in the spring. March 27 was the Cherry blossom day (桜の日, Sakura no Hi) so a perfect day for a build featuring the Cherry blossoms. Meguro-gawa by Ids, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

    For Marchikoma I build this Fuchikoma which even fits a fig quite nicely, see also https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Fuchikoma for more information about the original. Fuchikoma - フチコマ by Ids, on Flickr When I had build this Fuchikoma based on the Ghost in the Shell manga, I also had to come up with some figs based on section 9, https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Security_Section_9_(organization) These are my (purist) take on the members of section 9, from left to right: Saito - Tactical Sniper Motoko Kusanagi - Major/Field Commander Togusa - Investigator/2nd Field Commander Daisuke Aramaki - Lieutenant Colonel/Section Chief Batou - Lead Investigator Boma - Spotter, Investigator, and bomb specialist Pazu - Investigator Ishikawa - Covert Intelligence and Technology Executive Officer and a Fuchikoma who does not want to miss the photo session.
