Hi, it`s time to share some impressions of Hildesheimer Steinewelten with you! It was the first time that I put up my train station. It is a fictional medium sized station featuring typical german architectural styles. It could be located anywhere in the middle of germany and should represent that kind of station where you drop off to start your holidays. As you can see besind the main building with the clock tower I added a restaurant with a beer garden to the right, a store house to the left and a second platform with an undercrossing. The hole setup is build modular and can be disconnected into 6 48x48 moduls. Maybe next year I will add a third track and some switches. http://Bahnhof LUG-Connected Der Plan Hildesheimer Steinewelten 2023 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr http://Bahnhof LUG-Connected Der Plan Hildesheimer Steinewelten 2023 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr http://Bahnhof LUG-Connected Der Plan Hildesheimer Steinewelten 2023 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr http://Bahnhof LUG-Connected Der Plan Hildesheimer Steinewelten 2023 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr http://Bahnhof LUG-Connected Der Plan Hildesheimer Steinewelten 2023 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr

Hello modular building and City fans, This modular Gothic Cathedral was my entry to Bricklink Designer Program Series 1. I have received many kind comments and support, but unfortunately it has not been selected, therefore I decided to make the instructions available here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-148170/_TLG_/gothic-cathedral Kit is available here: https://buildamoc.com/products/gothic-cathedral It is not actually based on a real building, but it contains many typical details: lancet arches, double lancet arch windows, a ridge turret, flying buttresses, portals with series of receding planes, rose windows etc., and there is a matching street lamp too. The roof assembly can be removed as one piece and in this case the internal details are visible: there is an altar with a cross, a candle holder, a church tabernacle, a brick built bible, there are benches, an organ, a holy water stoup etc.. The middle door on the facade and the side doors open outward, and work perfectly, the side doors on the facade open inward and they can be opened if the door handle pieces (the taps) are removed, but it is not se easy to close them in this case. It is a studless build, the unnecessary studs are hidden by tiles. When I started the design, the first version included appr. 4600 parts, so I had to optimized and simplified it a bit, but I am still really satisfied with the result. For example it could be very nice if there was trans color plates in the holes of the window fences, but it would mean too much additional parts (and I am also not sure if it is a legal technique). The building instructions guidelines have been followed. It is built from the palette "BDP Series 1", so there are some color and part restrictions. The part 15744 could be awesome as rose window on the facade, but unfortunately it is not available in black or light bluish gray. However, the technic gear 40 tooth works too. The bells could be pearl gold or something similar, but the best available option is the black which is ok. I hope you like my design, I appreciate any feedback.

I haven't built a MOC in quite a while, been a bit busy with work and everything else. And the inspiration doesn't come as often as it used to when I was younger. But this January I decided to sit down and build a really cool MOC for a contest. And I thought, I enjoy Victorian architecture a lot, why don't I build a Victorian cottage? (I mean, technically it's a house but cottage sounds a bit more charming). This was a really interesting model for me to design. I actually started with the balcony and the tower, and then built downwards from there until I reached the baseplate. From there, (because it was all in one step in the stud.io file at that point), I ended up separating the entire model piece by piece, and building it again from the ground up! I am definitely the type of builder who will build everything at once and organically flow into a completed model. Only to find it is in one big step with no indication of how I got there. Wasn't going to fly for the contest, since we needed to build instructions. When I started building, because it was actually going to have more of a rectangular shape with a porch in front of the tower, I made one of the gable ends longer. But that really made the roof angles wonky. So instead, I decided to make it more or less the same on either side, which worked out in regards to the gable ends. The shell design over the windows on the tower went through several iterations before I found the one I liked. To add further complication, the whole model was then split into three parts, built again from the ground up, and instructions were made for those three parts. There were a few part problems to work out along the way, this step was incredibly helpful. The submodels were then reincorporated back into the final model with an accompanying 628 page instruction component. And of course part problems cropped up everywhere which meant the instructions had to be formatted again a whopping three times! What a journey! I think I definitely know the model inside and out by now. The most challenging part for me was working on the roofs. I am definitely not the best at coming up with angles and figuring out how to make those work, it definitely took a lot of time and a lot of trial and error. There was also a hilarious mishap at one point realizing that the detailed, hinged roof that I intended to be able to open and close would not open at all, and instead it just crashed into the porch roof. Which prompted a redesign to a more doll-house open wall style build. Oh, and there's no toilet. Which is a bit of an inconvenience for whichever minifigs end up buying this house, but it's nothing a little redecorating can't solve. The furniture was pretty fun to create too. I'm not the best at coming up with fantastic unseen-before techniques, so a lot of it more basic. It was a great experience to be able to build this model. The idea was rather spontaneous, and I settled on the Victorian house theme because I've always loved Victorian architecture. I especially loved the Monster Fighter's Haunted House, and I wanted to create something that had somewhat close to the accessibility of a dollhouse while still having the stability and bulk to be a stand-alone display model. There was quite a bit of trial and error on the trim, some of the pieces clashed in ways that the program wouldn't detect until it was too late. But overall, I'm very satisfied with how the build turned out! This MOC I've currently entered into the Bricklink BDP Series 1 contest that's currently ongoing, and it has just entered the voting phase. If you like this model and think it would be a great set someday, I'd encourage you to vote for it here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-1/212/Victorian-Cottage Thank you for reading! :)

RC Monster Truck [MOC]
Daniel-99 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello everyone! I want to share with you my Monster truck that I build for an outdoor winter driving. It has a lot things to improve, but even this imperfect build gives a lot of fun! Yes, this post is mostly not about technical aspects, but about the whole concept and the driving experience it gives! Some highlights: All wheel drive and steering Solid axle suspension with permanently locked differentials Planetary wheel hubs Strong transmission with metal U-joints and metal bearings Brushless motor 1000 kv 3S Li-Po for power 2 GeekServo for steering 120 mm RC wheels with great grip Removable body Together big wheels and powerful motor makes this Monster Truck a real beast. It has both torque and a decent speed. Planetary wheel hubs give enough reduction to obtain the precise control of torque (that is rather unusual for Brushless motors). All wheel steering with deferent steering modes (made as an option of my RC transmitter) bring more fun to the driving. It also increases the climbing abilities of the Truck (as it is shown in the video). -
The last few hours had been quite eventful. Harry was fighting a losing battle against the Basilisk until he received unexpected help from Fawkes (who brought with him the Sorting Hat). Harry reached into it and pulled out the fabled Sword of Gryffindor, which he proceeded to plunge into the serpent’s mouth. With Fawkes and the sword returned to their owner (and a certain house elf in need of freeing) Harry left Dumbledore’s office. The old wizard, now alone, examined the sword, which now seemed to be imbued with a unique power…

1940s short school bus - real world MOC (for use with Modular Buildings or Winter Village)
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
I remade my magic school bus model into a school bus from an older time period (the 1940's) and I think I like this version better. There are some anachronisms (such as the swinging stop sign arm) that didn't exist on school buses in the '40s, but I am using Modular Building / Winter Village logic here: old fashioned vehicles and buildings, with some modern features strewn about when needed. Like many of my vehicle models the roof does not come off to get at the inside details, but then again, there aren't much in the way of details in there anyway. (Yes, the stop sign is printed wonky. There is nothing I can do about it.) Thoughts? -
Today I present to you my latest moc: I have always loved photographing beautiful landscapes and in 2007 I took a trip to France in Provence. Towards the end of June in Provence the fields are filled with endless rows of lavender that color the landscape and perfume the air. I adored this landscape and after the advent of the beekeeper in Series 21 of the collectible minifigs, the idea of combining the landscapes of Provence with the lavender honey that is produced in these lands immediately took off in my mind. I have concentrated all the atmospheres of Provence in a single landscape with the beekeeper's house, a field with rows of lavender, beehives, trees, flowers and vegetation. The story behind this moc is a little girl (the beekeeper's granddaughter) who is accompanied by her mother to visit her grandfather who lives in Provence and her little girl falls in love with this landscape rich in nature and animals. The house is composed of a rich interior decor which is observable by dividing the two floors and removing the roof. On the ground floor we find the kitchen and the living room, the narrowest part of the house is the laboratory where the grandfather produces his magnificent lavender honey. Through a small window he can leave the jars of honey from the laboratory directly in the kitchen. On the first floor we find the bedroom, a wardrobe and a bathroom with shower. The grandfather has furnished his house in the most welcoming way possible but it is still a rural house and therefore we will not find a television. All the time is spent in the countryside, surrounded by nature without particular technological means! In front of the house we find a fixed stall where the grandfather sells honey to visitors who come to discover Provence. The base of the moc can be divided into three parts for easy transport. The moc consists of approximately 4,200 pieces. The moc is presented for the first time at the MEI in Verona, 4 and 5 march 2023.

Built for Brickscalibur ("Where's Waldo?" category). The infamous thief Odlaw thought this would be an easy job. Break into Baron Ruprecht's private collection, take as much as he could carry, and leave as quickly as possible. Suddenly he heard the footsteps of an approaching guard. Panicking, he searched for a hiding place somewhere in the collection. Can you find Odlaw? Hint: look for the eyes...

The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy just joined my Midi-Scale ship collection! Here comes the Millennium Falcon from Episode IV – A New Hope. Made of 2,178 pieces, measuring only 34cm and weighting almost 1kg, this compact yet dense Falcon was another unique challenge at this scale. After seeing some great-looking Figscale MOCs of this tricky ship, I couldn't resist making a Midi version. With this design, I took a different approach than most other Falcons out there, and wanted it to look as sleek and gapless as possible. This resulted in a pretty elaborate and unique mix of paneling techniques that involved a lot of SNOT building. One of my priorities was to faithfully reproduce the curved saucer shape on both sides of the ship, and not only on top. As a result, the build features all the details and shapes of the original 1977 studio model, from top to bottom. The overall thickness of the ship was another concern. I wanted it to be as thin as the original, while being able to sandwich some tasty greebles and even the hyperdrive engine bay inside the saucer. The Falcon has two display modes, "in-flight" with its canted stand, and "landed" with easy-to-install landing gear. It also includes a working ramp. ► Instructions for the Millennium Falcon are available at BrickVault. More pictures on my Flickr page.

[MOC] Clone and droid vehicles - latest addition: Droid STAP
TeddytheSpoon posted a topic in LEGO Star Wars
Two of the first MOCs I created since diving back into the hobby a few years ago were an AT-RT and BARC speeder. Since they were designed mostly in a digital environment, and with considerably less practice than I have now, they were long due an upgrade. So now I've done that, I figured it was as good a time as any to share them here! Although these were my own design to start with, I don't think there's anything particularly revolutionary in the construction of the two. So to spruce them up a bit, I decided to add some lights! Fitting the LEDs didn't require much in the way of changes relative to my first attempts, which now look... Well, let's just say I'm much happier with these new versions. The AT-RT pretty much only had its front armour plating changed, but the BARC speeder went through three or four different iterations before I settled on the version you see here. Both were designed around the 501st colours to start with, since these have been the easiest to acquire recently. That said I made sure the colours could be swapped out for other legions, such as the 41st Elite Corps... ...Or the 91st Recon Corps. (yes, these photos do kind of suck. Sorry!) In theory, the 327th Star Corps (pale yellow) and 7th Sky Corps/212th Attack Battalion (orange) colours should also be possible. There are probably more colour options but these are the ones I'm most familiar with. Unfortunately I don't have the right parts in orange right now to equip my faves in the 212th, so instead I made them a Crab Droid to fight against. You're welcome, I guess, fellas... I have a few more plans for Republic and Separatist/Trade Federation army accessories, so I may add to this thread in future (read: I will necro-bump this thread when I eventually get around to it). But for now, I hope you like them! -
[MOC] Volvo LM 841 Front Loader
Jundis posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi guys and gals, today I'd like to present my MOC based on an old Volvo LM 841 Front Loader: The main goal was to achieve the mechanism used for the bucket with the oddly placed hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder. Due to stability, I used a 3x11 panel and could get the right mounting point for the small cylinders. Also, the narrow 1x11 cylinders I intended to use for the lift weren't strong enough, so I went with the stronger 2x7. This sadly led to a lower lift height. Pneumatic pump is placed in the cabin like in the 8455, while I rather place a fake 6 cylinder engine in the hood. In this size I went with front driven engine, although the real thing is 4WD. Main functions are: - steering with pendular rear axle - lift of the bucket - tilt of the bucket - fake inline 6 driven by front wheels I just love older equipment, which gives more a feel of old Lege technic also :-) -
Hello my dear friends! Today I'd like to share my collection of the alternative models for the Telehandler 42133. All the videos contain detailed building instructions, if somebody want to build the model. 1. The first one is skidder. A few years ago I've created large-scale RC skidder (Skidder John Deere 648L), and this time I have a tiny version. The functions: steering, blade elevation, boom elevation, the claw. 2. The second one is a racing car with adaptive aerodynamics. The feature that I'm waiting for years to be introduced in 1:8 Technic supercars :) The steering mechanism activates the spoiler, so the car has more downforce at curves. And due to the weight of the wing the steering has a return-to-center feature. 3. The next one is a jet plane. The feature of this model is an adjustable wing geometry, like in the set 9394. 4. And the last one - dozer compactor. This model has two functions: steering and blade elevation. Nothing special, but pretty playable and looks not so bad :) Thanks for watching, I hope you'll find something interesting here :) -
At the end of the day, Maleficent retreats to her cozy corner in the castle to wind down with her favourite book and a glass of wine. A close up because she is so cute: Maleficent's Cozy Corner is my entry to the Cozy Corners contest, which requires the entry to fit into a 12x12 frame. This last photo shows it sitting within a 12x12 base: More, higher resolution images on Flickr.

Hi! After a little break, I'm slowly coming back to the Castle! Maybe some of you know my projects of siege machines, and there were some - trebuchet, catapult, ballista, mantlet. A few years ago I built a working trebuchet and diorama "The Siege of Bricks". After a few years, I'm coming back to the topic and building a trebuchet again! This time it will be bigger, stronger and better historically reproduced. I hope I'll be able to make an PDF instruction, although it will not be easy, because there will be a lot of ropes and other non-standard accessories (lead balls in counterweight) I wish this time the range of the trebuchet was about 7-8 meters! The previous version had about 5-6 meters of range. I'm curious if 7-8 is possible. Currently the counterweight weighs 164g, which is more than before, the trebuchet is bigger, it has a longer arm. We'll see, haven't tested yet. More soon on my YT channel - Edge of Bricks. I will update the progress from time to time. Let me know what you think about this project!

I've recently gotten into designing some castles, but so far, none of them have been in minifig scale. Still, they turned out quite big. So I wanted to do a minifig scale castle at a reasonable size. I guess I achieved the former goal. Anyway, I picked Castle Lichtenstein, a beautiful little castle in the south of Germany. And I scaled it down a little bit more to make it more feasible. Unfortunately, things escalated again and the result is again too big to build it at a reasonable price. I am happy with the result though. I'm thinking about entering into Lego Ideas, even though it's way too big to ever make it into a set. But one could drastically reduce the part count by removing large parts of the cliff, get rid of the plants and a lot of the tiles, don't have double walls, etc. Anyway, what do you guys think? And BTW, here's a picture of the real Castle Lichtenstein

Hello all, I'm very excited to finally be able to share with you the project I've been working on the past half year. It's a 1:50 scale model of the big boy, with working lights and sound! (yes, another big boy model) Instructions are available, which also includes the PFx Brick configuration file; plug and play! You can build it unmotorized, with 2 or 4 PF L motors, with LEGO PF or PFx Brick, using batteries or 9v. I really tried to include everything and make it as easy and fun as possible You are also able to use a BMR knuckle coupler without needing extra parts, those steps are also included! For more info on the instructions, see here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-139121/SystemTrains/union-pacific-4014-big-boy And if you just want to see (and hear!) it in action, here you go!

This is my moc/alternative/combo build “corner market” Mr produce has fallen on hard times, forcing him to downgrade his grocery store to a corner market, he still is very popular with the kids, though, his only complaint about his current situation is the bank at the top In the back, a fresh delivery from the farm! Jackson unloads the truck, getting the shipment ready for the store! Mr produce welcomes the first few arrivals to the store, Amy and Natasha! Jackson meanwhile, has gotten the crate and is about to put it on the conveyor belt Jackson loads the crate… And pushes it through! Mr produce, on the other end, receives the delivery, all locally grown produce! And by local… we mean VERY local Upstairs, Ben works on managing the banks reserves, everything is in order! 9 hours later, mr produce closes up for the night… little does he know, the truck is back, but why? Midnight delivery? Recreational driving? No! Crime!, as daisy kaboom has been behind the scenes the whole time! Using the lift she secretly had in the truck, she is able to get up to the bank… A few minutes later, KABOOM! She has blown a hole in the side of the building Daisy helps herself to the goods inside And then escapes through her secret exit, through the roof! That’s not her only secret, however As daisy enjoys her snack, she doesn’t realize she has more imminent problems… Will daisy kaboom escape? Does mr produce know about this? Stay tuned to find out!

Technic fifth wheel detachable towing unit
thequeenjo posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
(Admin, if this is in the wrong place, can you please move it still learning the roads here)w I don’t know whether this is a thing in Europe, I in America, when heavy recovery trucks/wreckers or out busy, they use a standard truck with a detachable towing unit, has anybody decided, or ever made a design? They could use Efferson Safeways towing custom design, peace. Then create an under lift to fit onto the fifth wheel and a couple of motors to lift it and pull it, I’d love to make one, but I can’t, looking to design one with someone if anybody is thinking about it, would be nice to have a model show, so you could take one truck into two different things, one that could pull a trailer than one that could have a Btu to pull a ruined vehicle. I think it would be pretty cool. Just thinking on how the motors would work. a Btu to pull a ruined vehicle. I think it would be pretty cool. Just thinking on how the motors would work. https://www.millerind.com/products/holmes/holmes-dtu Going to crack out my iPad tomorrow. And see if I can find a Lego design app where I can make one on there that works and attaches off the fifth wheel. I think it would be really cool. I have quite a few ideas up my sleeve it’s just a shame I can’t put them to paper. What is everybody’s idea/feedback would love to hear what your input is -

"Double helix" - a simple, efficient grandfather clock
Davidz90 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I present my new build: over1 by David_Z1, on Flickr It is a 170 cm high grandfather clock, built with about 9000 bricks. The structure is meant to be bio-inspired, with a double helix (dna-like) pattern. The main load bearing element are four technic brick reinforced pillars at the edges, which are connected by the said helix-like grider structure. The power is provided by a pretty light (by my standards anyway :P) 0.3 kg weight. It is sufficient for 16 hours of operation. mainw by David_Z1, on Flickr The clock face is constructed mostly with 1x2 plates, the whole structure is under slight tension. over2 by David_Z1, on Flickr The hands assembly uses my new solution with worm gear. The minute hand (axle) is geared up 2:1 and then geared down 1:24 to differential casing, which holds hours hand. hands by David_Z1, on Flickr The escapement used here is a so-called Grasshopper escapement, invented by John Harrison. My particular implementation uses two wheels to make the whole mechanism completely symmetric. The system is highly efficient (needs 70 microwatts to run) and accurate (clock error is under 1 minute per day) escapement by David_Z1, on Flickr Video: -
