Just released my "The Call of Cthulhu" project on LEGO Ideas yesterday :-) As a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft's mythology I decided to build a set based on his short story "The Call of Cthulhu", which was released in 1928 and might probably be the most famous tale by this author. About the scene (might contain spoilers for those who haven't read the story yet): The scene of my model depicts the arrival of the norwegian sailor Gustaf Johansen and his crew in the city of R'lyeh which was built by alien beings aeons before humanity inhabited the earth and is described as a cyclopean city of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths (decorated with strange runes). It was sunk to the ground of the ocean, where Cthulhu (an ancient alien being) had to wait for the stars to align the right way so R'lyeh would rise again to the surface. While exploring the ancient ruins the sailors accidently release the "Great Old One" from his prison and try to escape aboard the "Alert", a derelict ship, that was discovered by the sailors earlier... About the Minifigures: I've tried to build LEGO versions of this mighty "Old One" before but only the release of the 13th series of LEGO's "Collectable Minifigures" provided the minifigure-squidhead I was waiting for since it perfectly fits this creatures Appearance! The combination with the wings of the 14th series gargoyle, the 15th serie faun's legs and the 16th series little devil finally rounded up the list of needed parts to complete this awesome minifigure (although it would be great to have a more dinosaur-like tail like the 5th series lizard man - wich sadly can't be combined with the wings). To represent the sheer size of Cthulhu I used the minifig-trophy-statuette of the 9th minifigure serie's "Hollywood Starlet" for the sailors. They represent Gustaf Johansen and two of his frightened crewmen. If you like it, please support it! You might also be interested in my other projects like the life-sized human skull or my RPG boardgame.

[C-MODEL] 42054 Monster Truck
offroadcreations posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
On August 8, 2016, I said I've had the set on display for a couple months, but I finally made a C-Model. And it's actually a monster truck. The body is completely my own design. And it uses something I saw in a rock crawler, by the builder "Max Lego." When one turntable turns one way, the other one turns the opposite way. There have to be obstacles of the same size for each axle, or the body tilts. Please tell me what you think, and have a great day. -
The Harpy's Embrace Harpies do not appreciate archers, for they can send stinging sticks into the air, the harpies dominion. Archers, on the other hand, have no love for harpies, simply because - despite a somewhat female appearance - honestly speaking they are flying monsters with claws and teeth. The Harpy's Embrace by MWardancer, auf Flickr The Harpy's Embrace (2) by MWardancer, auf Flickr Harpy by MWardancer, auf Flickr Harpy (2) by MWardancer, auf Flickr List of customization techniques: - Brickwarriors' wings painted - Brickwarriors tail cut - leg piece painted - custom claws made from skeleton arms - drilling holes into the hair to attach the wings - that was very difficult and I ruined a few hairpieces in the process

Hello once again! I have made a moc of the Nexo Knights Lava Golem Infernox. Here you go. A Minifig can ride on top using a simple stud connection, and everything is articulated. Leg design is based of Jay's Lightning Mech. Back view, showing the clip that connects him to Jestro's Evil Mobile. And finally, an action shot with a scurrier. C&C much appreciated!

As you escape from the dragon's onslaught, you find a mysterious device in the hills. It responds to your commands by moving around with gusto. With it, you hope to defeat the scourge that raised your village. However, to fight this fiend, you must trek across the lands, and the lands are filled with monsters. Monsters: A hydra in the swamp A nuckelavee in the waters. For those who don't know, a nuckelavee is a water spirit in the shape of a horse with a rider that spends most of its time as an intangible presence in the water. A manticore waiting for the right time to strike along the path A swooping cockatrice attacking from the skies A salamander in its slimey den A sphinx guarding the bridge A dragon surrounded by the burning forest Special features include an alternate path with special point spots, monster body parts that can be moved to block off paths (the hydra heads, the nuckelavee's horse head, the manticore's tail and the cockatrice's wings) and a swiping dragon's paw which can knock the ball right into one of the lava pits. Top view. The green spot is the starting point, the dragon's maw is the end and the yellow spots are optional bonus points. Yes, I checked, the dragon's wings fit in the maze. From this view, you can see the difficulties involved in choosing the bonus point route a bit better; amongst other things, you have to get out of the ditch formed by the salamander. I made various digital stickers for this project; the cockatrice's, the manticore, the nuckelavee and the sphinx's heads and the brick path. All in all, it was a lot of fun making this, and I hope you guys like it! Comments and criticism appreciated.

Here is my Second part of the story and my second entry for the Frozen Beyond Contest : Mom is really Angry ! the first part of the story can be found in my first entry : Snow in the Enchanted Forest ?! GRRRRROWRH ! Noihe could not finish her sentence as a terrible beast made it heard. - AAAAH ! Screamed Faladrin, escaping with the egg. It is really a Frostbite Dragon egg ! And Mom is really Angry ! RUN AWAY ! - Run Away ! Yelled Noihe, dropping her weapons and running out of range of the frosty breath of the Mother Dragon. But only Walaheria stood up, facing the beast and using her magical sword she cut the deadly breath in two parts as simple as she would of an apple... - Run my Love ! I can manage her a short time... but, just enough to allow us to escape and be secure. Walaheria said to Faladrin. - We will need to reinforce our troups and be prepare for a bigger attack next. Said Faladrin, once out of range of the beast. - Yes, there is an abandoned outpost not far from here when we should hold position until the next Algus attack. Answered Walaheria. The beast continues roaming in the wild though... Beware if you are passing by her way ! Thank you for reading me and see you for the next part (and the end) of this story from The Frozen Beyond...

Last night, my girlfriend told me that the fourth graders she teach, had had an exercise where she described a monster, which they then got to draw and paint. Having heard the description, I decided to do my own interpretation, but (of course) in lego.

(MOC) The Incredible Schrunken Hearse (monsterfighters)
B Rick posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Kinda disappointed by the non-compatibility of the two Monsterfighters sets 'vampyre hearse' and 'haunted house', I build the house a bit larger and now the hearse a bit smaller. The hearse had allready been modded to my own taste, but now was the time to build a smaller version for my house. First time I ever tried and build a 7-stud wide car. And man, that comes with problems... It took me quite a while but I think I did okay. I used snot techniques, for instance the front-end and the windscreen. Most of the rest is a basic traditional Lego build. Oh, and it is still minifig-friendly. It contains a zombie-chaufeur and a vampyre-filled coffin! ^ Figuring out how to narrow the wheelspacing was quite a challenge. It is now hold on by a single row of 4 studs and two 2x2 jumperplates. ^ As compared to my 'original' hearse... ^ The new version has the coffin sticking out a bit in the back, for a more grotesque view Well, it does add a little bit of drama ofcourse... ^ 7-studs vs 8-studs ^ The reason for schrinking the hearse: My Modified Haunted House. Both look way better together as well as on their own. -

THERE IS NO DANA, ONLY ZUUL! Presenting to you just a 'quicky'. Zuul, the hellhound from 80's movie Ghostbusters. Yes, I'm a bit of a GB-coattailrider here but it happens that GB belongs to my top 10 best 80's movie-list. :) I was inspired by masterbuilders Wet Wired and Sergio and their awesome Ghostbusters-builds but couldn't wait for them to build Zuul (let alone wait for THE Ecto1 to hit the stores...) so I build my own in the bricks that I have. Grey. Ofcourse it (probably) should be in a nice earth and olive green right...? Well, the Gargoyl out of what this beast emerged is grey, so I'm kinda safe... What else is there to say... Oh yeah, I used the newish Chima Legend beasts build-methods with the balljoints, and really made it my own. That was a fun challenge! :) Enjoy! Next to the GB-minifig and my Ecto1 it is kinda huge. A bit larger than the extralarge dog from the movies, but ofcourse Lego is a material of compromises. I agree that the body could use a little bit more mass... It'll just has to do, for now... Run little GB, Run like the wind! ...and try not to cross your beams... (my Ecto1 can be found here...)

Players only, please! Confirmation | Day One | Day 2 Lacey Davis (LegoDad) sits in her whore house, contemplating which wig she should wear in the morning. "Do I stick with this one, or should I wear the curly, brown one? I should maybe stuff my top with some wigs, too. Needless to say, she doesn't manage to see the Zombie, or hear the door loudly creak open, or even hear the load groan coming from behind her. Who knew wigs could be so distracting? A dismembered mermaid now lies where Lacey Davis once stood. Meanwhile, the zombie walks off with a nice, lean arm to gnaw on. Meanwhile, Derek Polanes (DarthPotato), walks away from the fire pit, after just burning his hands on the fire trying to warm up... ... Until he runs into the Roman Commander, who shoves his blade so far into Derek's stomach it pushes him back into the fire pit.. And the body of the Fortune Teller crackles in the pit. Everybody gathers in the morning, but instead of Mercutio, the assistants take his place. "Mercutio's taking a quick vacation for school" Carlisa announces. "He left us in charge, so we had to invite our friends Wyldstyle and Abe here to help us, especially since Abe is so honest, and Wyldstyle.... Well, she's somewhat attractive." "We could only find Bleeb's head, and I think it's pretty clear he was a Monster. So was Derek. Luckily for you, Lacey just so happened to have been a rotten member of the Council. Looks like you dipshits made more progress yesterday than you did the day before. Now go catch another so I can look good for Mercutio." Excited to have caught their first baddie, the girls... ...

[MOC] Monster Truck 6x6
Madoca 1977 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, Here is my first 6x6 model. 2L motors for driving, Servo motor for steering. Weight is 1180g. Motors and battery box are located on the middle of chassis. Front and rear suspensions are very soft. So, the Truck easily pitches up and down, climb over a certain level of obstacles. 3 differentials and 6 cv joints works pretty well, not broken or snapped at all in the video. Building instructions and more pictures:https://plus.google....64977943/albums Also I added this MOC to Rebrickable. I hope you enjoy it! -

Hi all (I apologize in advance for my not So perfect english) This is my Pirate display. I had it with me at the Klodsfest 2013 event (Klodsfest is an yearly event made by my LUG Byggepladen, Denmark) Klodsfest is made so everyone within our LUG, has a chance to display their stuff. To an living audience, and ofcourse the other members aswell. 150 Byggepladen members did attend this year, and nearly 700 Paying! visitors (Whitch is a new record for us) (including kjeld kirk kristiansen Owner of LEGO) This is the 5'th time I'm exhibiting my pirate stuff. My personal goal is to add atleast one new item to my Display, each and every single time i exhibit. I'ts nearly a year since i started to display my stuff in puplic. First time was at the klodsfest 2012. I had only 2 smaller ships with me at the time. Since then, I've expanded my layout massively. The ships name's is: Crusader (The Extremely supersized 2'rate ship of the line) Grim Reaper (The Black ship) Golden Whale (Automatic cannons) Landlubber (The tan and blue ship. Its also Remote controlled) As you can see in the video at the bottom. And without further delay, i give you my pictures. (The text for each picture is located beneath it) Here we have some real Pirate monkey's, Drfting away with alot of treasure. Eventhough, one of the Cannon-men aboard the Crusader, won't allow them to get away with it. The Crusader in all her firce glory. Shooting at all three pirate ships at once. The whole bow is rock solid (and quite heavy) SNOT all the way up to the forecastle. Personly i love how thoose stair's turned out Notice the SwirilGun pokeing out of the rigging (she have 12 of them in total) If you count the SwirilGuns together with the main batteries, she has a total of 89 cannons. (she can carry 90, if you put an extra cannon in the forecastle) I adore that small side balcony. She also have full interior in the cabin. The new married couple on their honeymoon. They couldn't have chosen a better vessel for the job This is my lighthouse.....Or rather what's left of it. When i packed my stuff for the event, i tried to put it into a box. Unfortunately, the box had the exact same messurement as the plate. when i tried to squeese it gently into the box. That resulted in the lighthouse jumped off the plate, smashed down into the box. and completely destroyed itself. Only the top pylon survived.....Sort of. I promise you it will be posted once i rebuild it. This ship is not mine. I did the layout together with another guy, who had this ship, and a mountain next to it. With a cave hidden within Not everybody got what it takes to be a sailor For some strange reason, i didn't take a single shot of the battle at the middle of the ship, nore the bow/forecastle (there is a video in the end of this post, in it you can see the cannon's in action. Perhaps you can recognize this fellow ?? Eventhough there is three longboats with many soilders aboard, they are no match for the three-headed Sea Serpent I had a funny treasure hunt-mini event-thing going on. I had a sign at the table that said: Help the pirates find the burning pumpkin: Originaly i hid it within the lighthouse, with that option out of the window. i had to think fast. That resulted the pumpkin was hidden within the jaws of death. Can you find the treasure ?? To be honest, i didn't made this island entirely myself. i had the basic isle with me, complete with map. But i had to make the vegetation on sight. I didn't had the time to make it, so i made a boy who was bored make it for me. I simply just gave him a box with Chima-Figs and another with plants, and he sat off to work ( i did supervise him, told him what to do, and where to place that and that. But he managed most of it by himself. I rewarded him with a Chima fig of he's choice, he chose one of the wolf's, since it's the only fig he didn't have already. He was quite happy about it. Sebeus and I, is tracking down the lost treasure's. thank god we have a map. Or else we would never find it. This is the landlubber, its Remote-Controlled. It have the ability to sail around on land. i'm reciving alot of feedback at that feature, usualy its : A driving ship, that's new: Now for a funny story . I almost rammmed into Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen on purpose. Simply to get he's attention. He looked at a enormus resturant build like a pendhouse . (it was truely brilliant) Together with alot of people. After sailing right behind him, for some time. Before Somebody noticed me and said: WOW look at that thing: Kjeld turned around (together with everyone else) and glazed upon my ship. Kjeld laughed, complimented my brilliance, and said: A driving ship, thats just amazing. I replied : You should make some of theese: Kjeld made a small laugh and said: .yea... We have do that. After that small conversation, Kjeld just starred at my ship, until i was gone. Who know's, perhaps Lego will make some remote controlled ships one day =) The thing I'm most proud of, is the cabin (besides the RC ability) Because i made it in a rush, the parts kept falling off. as you can see in the pictures. At the end i was sick and tired of reasembling it. and just left it be. I capsized with her once, i tried to make it across a small trench, i failed. Funny enough the first attempt went extremely well, but second time, not so well. I've dismantled the landlubber. Mark II is well under way. She's stronger, taller ,tougher, and much better reinforced. My personal favorite. the Grim Reaper. She contains full interior with bunks and a captains cabin. i've spend just about 300 hours creating her. (if you count mark I, in the progress. whitch is the right thing to do in this case, since its based so much on mark I, just alot better. She's been at every single Lego event I've taken aprt in. She's over a year old, and contain 15% of my black bricks. I just love her so much that i cant dismantle her. She have no special abilities. Besides for the evil look This is me, setting it all up The video's is not shot by me. they are shot by a fellow AFOL from my LUG, She made alot of video's of the whole event. Comments is very welcome [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp]

Being one of the largest creatures ever to walk, or fly, the face of Roawia and carrying a Lenfel champion of great renown, the much older brother of the ill-fated Mindarus the Cunning seeks out the knight who slew his kin... I've had the idea for this guy in my head for awhile now. And I'm quite happy with how he turned out! Now I have to build a scene big enough to hold this guy. More pictures... Thanks for viewing and have a great day!

Introduction I've taken a break from steampunk/dieselpunk/sky-fi to work on this organic machine. But, bare in mind that this creature exists in the same fantastic world as the Central Machines and Attatech walkers. The infernal creation sprouted from the Mother's soft underbelly. The Uorre-tabat is blessed with the powers of control over machines. These creatures were known, during the Plague to latch onto the underbellies of war machines and airships and chew through the mechanical parts and replace them with veins, nerves, and fatty tissue. Naming I took much more time on delving deeper for the name of this creature than for say, my mechs, I wanted to create a Tolkein-esque meaning to the names of this creature and it's counterparts. In naming this, I've combined several elements. The first part of the name, Uorre, is derived from Ur, the ancient Sumerian city in Mesopotamia which invokes antiquity and age. Also, one of the Hebrew meanings of the word Ur, those who know better correct me if I'm wrong, is light. Cool, you say, what does this have to do with the creature, I'm getting there. Ok, now we get to the second part. According to Strong's Concordance of the Holy Bible, "ta" is translated in Ezekiel 40:7 as guardroom. And, as in Bat Mitzvah, "bat" denotes female, specifically girl. So if we put it all together I get the phrase "Guarding the Female from the Light". Obviously there is some artistic license taken there, so linguists don't get mad. The explanation for this name will be revealed with subsequent builds. Some clues can be gathered from the above description. This final shot shows the Uorre-tabat next to a Maane soldier for size comparison. For more pictures of this model and of my other models, check out my Brickshelf Gallery or flickr photostream.
