McDonalds Surveillance Satellite mk. 39. Since 1997, McDonalds has actually been a world-wide surveillance station, keeping tabs on just about everyone. Luring people in with mass produced highly processed "food" and gimmicks like 24 hour free WiFi, McDonalds spys on you, hacks your devices, taps into your conversations and then uses these satellites to relay information to high paying corporations. put on you foil hats, it's the only way to stay safe! So I just got out of hospital 2 days ago, and while i still don't have the brain power to do anything productive (believe you me, after 3 weeks of this stuff I have a lot to catch up on) I decided to build something this morning :) expect to see this floating around somewhere in Christchurch above the Moonbase 42 Collab :) Enjoy!

Piercing the silence with the deep sharp whir of exhaust outlets with poor silencers, A 'big boned' bearded pilot tears through the baron landscape of the dead-lands, disturbing greatly the dust beneath him. Where is he going? What is his purpose? Great questions, all I know is that his spaceship looks kinda cool and I want one. Hey guys! this is my favorite build i'm taking down to CBS this year. I spent a decent amount of time tweaking it (unlike most of my mocs where i start them one day and have them done within a week) I think I started this in February with a completely different design in mind, and it just evolved every couple of weeks when i came back to it, went through about 3 different pairs of wings, a few thruster designs... initially it was olive and bright green, to put things in perspective. I'm very happy with the result, since I still consider myself to be mainly a castle builder. Thanks to the guys who gave me valuable imput, your feedback is much appreciated :) Come see it in 2 and a half weeks at the Christchurch Brick Show! I've saved the biggest 2 show mocs for the next 2 weeks, space and castle, stay tuned! enjoy! David

Flying to Moonbase 42! Huge thanks to Jim for the canopy, I'm loving it! Always loved NCS, so finally being able to build a fighter in the theme is great :) Unfortunately this one isn't gonna be at brickworld like all the other NCS builds popping at the moment are ;P When I'd just about finished it I realized it looks very Peter Reid, which wasn't intentional but i guess whenever i think of NCS and the classic space style ships I have his builds floating around in my mind, so thanks for being great Peter! Come see it at CBS'15! Next weeks build is (in my opinion) the bestest sci-fi thing I've ever built so stay tuned! Enjoy! David Pew Pew Pwe!

Maester Harry is an interesting chap, to say the least. Like his eldest brother Senneck, he lives in a tree, though his residence is considered a lot more humble. He has lots of healing potions, hallucinogenic substances, and 3 pet hedgehogs that practise voodoo and make strange potions from frogs. Blimmin' tree hugging avalonians... Yeah I know, I've got a thing for tree hutts :3 Special thanks to Brickthing who provided Rancor, and Eldeeem who provided the chimney bits, which I believe are non production in that shade of silver? I dunno :p Part of my contribution to a small collab at the upcoming christchurch brick show with my mates Ylia Trotter and (I think?) Chris Yee! Just a teaser, I'll post pics of the entire thing in 5 weeks after the show :) really wanted to make a wizard hat roof after seeing Luke pull one off, and this thing gave me the perfect oppertunity to do so, so this is my take :) Come see this and many other cool things at this years Christchurch Brick Show! still more to come, yes there is more castle... bigger castle... better castle *cue suspense* Enjoy!

If you can't see the image (it appears a few people are having issues) its here on my flickr. A study in mosaic making, SNOT, minifigure proportion, and endurance. And lots of tan cheese. based on this drawing i did when I was 12 which is based of a drawing by the dude who inspired my screen name ;) I need to get a legonardo brick in dark tan for this... Started this thing back in July 2013, which would make it my slowest build i guess... though it was scrapped for parts and put on hold because i ran outta tan (originally bley) too many times to keep track of over those 2 years, but whatever it's done now :p my first build that I don't plan to destroy! EVER o.O makes a pretty cool display item :) Come see it in person at the upcoming Christchurch Brick Show! Another 3(+) spacey builds and 2 castle mocs still to come before then! Enjoy! David -I know it's not strictly speaking a historical moc, but it's based on something kind of historical?

Essentially a glorified galactic dump truck 93% of the finacial year, but everynow and again the guys at MOONBASE 42 find some sort of constructive use for it... right now it's carrying a massive keg of Tangy Orange flavoured Spaceman-ale! (pictured) Everyone who didn't like mars mission clearly never had one of these. my favorite part is definitely the canopy, the rest of the build sorta just happened after that was made, I would definitely love to see it used in other contexts! (simon, start building that dropship!) One of several things that'll be featured in the Moonbase 42 Collab in Christchurch this year! Enjoy :)

In 2043 when Merriam Enterprises became the largest stakeholder of Bugatti, They pushed for a revolution in personal transportation, taking the concept of Toyota's now widely available hover-cars, and pushing it further, adding the class, speed and luxury Bugatti is well known for, and letting man reach for the stars. Starting at $4,000,003.22 Hey all! Random unplanned upload! Just a quick (I spent more time 'shopping it than building it) spacey build I made this morning with some bits I got from some greatly discounted chima (70% off!) and my favorite Canadiasian I got recently :) It was a fun build actually, using a different pallet of parts to what I would normally gravitate towards, which I think turned out pretty nice. Yes there's a nice big Carl Merriam logo on the back ;D (Thanks Nick!) Come see it in 2 weeks at the Christchurch Brick Show 2015! Enjoy! David

A mystical magician approaching the solitary spire he calls home, to study the stars, read his books, and do magic stuff! Greatly inspired by the fabulous artworks of Péah. Normally I try build original completely compositions, but when I saw his work I just had to build it, it's so beautiful, and I'd love to build more of it! peahart.tumblr.com/ This is my main exhibit for the upcoming Auckland Brick show this weekend and Brickcon-NZ the following weekend, been tinkering with it for several months now, it was worth doing well I think :) unfortunately some bricks cough*lugbulk*cough haven't yet arrived which I would have loved to use, but you can't have everything can you? was a very fun build with some cool techniques and (what I think) is an awesome colourscheme, the ground is flesh and those accents are light and warm yellowish orange, I think? I finally found a use for all that medium azure i accidentally bought last year! :D Enjoy everyone! David www.facebook.com/davidhenselLego

In a world that had undergone nuclear fallout, everything needed to look 70% cooler so people liked it enough that they value it so much that it would never happen again. too much to lose for the materialistic minds of the future... The future sucks, but they do have cool spaceships! My build for Ma.ktober, after Simon guilt tripped me into building it by sending me a Ma.ktober brick early >.> inspiration from Calin, Ryan and Google, plus i stole Maelvins stand concept cause it's neat ;) More of the same images on my facebook page!: www.facebook.com/davidhenselLego Enjoy!

EVERYTHING IS MOONBASE. Here's part of my main contribution to the upcoming Moonbase 42 Collaborative, more photos shall come later, of both my bit and of the entire layout. ALSO I found out the meaning behind 42! has absolutely nothing to do with hitchhikers guide to el galaxy and the meaning of life at all, New Zealand just happens to sit on longitude 42 :p Much cooler in person, has lights and power things! Come see it at CBS next weekend! enjoy! David

Yeah I'm still a castle nut guys, I'm not completely lost to space ;) The Mystic Isles of Avalonia house many diverse persons, creatures and landscapes. Wonderful Wallace, Brother of Senneck and Harry the Hallucinating Healer, is one of them. He lives in solitude in the middle of a small cluster of islands in the center of the isles. Unlike his elder and younger siblings, Wallace has deviated from potions and other magic, and found his love in astronomy. He spends his days charting the skies, bartering with the local fishermen, and smoking pipe-weed. Also like his brothers, he has an incredibly awesome beard, which he takes great pride in. potentially more pride than what he has in his astronomical discoveries. Hey guys! Here is my main exhibit for the Christchurch brick show this weekend! it's been an interesting build, my original plan had been different, but then lugbulk didn't show up as early as i'd hoped so it changed :p the roof was a bit of a pain, but i'm pretty happy with the result. I had planned for a different colourscheme on the ground, but this worked too, when bulk arrives I guess I'll just have to build another moc with that scheme ;) Now all I need is for it not to be completely obliterated on the way down to Christchurch! Come see it in the weekend! hope you all enjoy! This build would not have been possible without the support from the coolest canadiasian in the world. you know who you are, and everyone who knows him should know too. Thanks so much Mr Liu. David

After a dreadfully cute and disastrous rabbit infestation on his carrot farm, Ol' Farmer Poggard and his sons picked up what they had left and relocated to another part of the avalonian countryside, a good 20 minutes on foot, and together constructed a wheat mill. Turns out that was teh most profitable thing that could have happened to them, they actually began making an income and the success of Poggards' wheat mill was incomparable to that of his carrot farm, because let's be honest, no one likes carrots. CCCXII Medieval Husbandry The blades of the windmill turn, and the tower itself can rotate, like they do in real life. I'd like to make a motorised one of these one day for a convention... was quite a rushed build as Im off on holiday now for the rest of the year, and just got back from another holiday before christmas, which isn't building time... enough blabbing, it was rushed but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Based of this garbage. Hehe and I made an effort not to look at Cesbricks' Mill that he posted the day after i started playing around with the mill idea XP hope ye'all like it :) David out!

To most, Finbar would appear to be one of the friendliest magic folk that lives in nocturnus. Thinking about how horrid the people of nocturnus are, that really doesn't say much, but he's generally a pretty good guy. Unlike his eldest brother Senneck, Finbar has taken to using his skills in magic for commercial purposes, he sells fireworks and a mysterious explosive powder on the black market. Good money, not so great when authorities are around. Oh wait, nocty has no authorities... CCC XII Small Misc Category Enjoy!

What does every castle need? Obviously it's a blacksmith. maybe even two. Really depends on how quickly your knights are blunting their swords trying to kill make belief dragons. CCC XII - Castle Building A remake of the classic (is it classic yet?) set http://brickset.com/sets/3739-1/Blacksmith-Shop I tried to keep the character of an angular house, without making it look like its decaying, along with keeping the simple retro feel of the set. Unfortunately it doesn't open up, but I did try and replicate as many features of the house as I could. Theres some things I'd have liked to differently with more time/parts (that stone technique is parts intensive!) but as i'm heading off for about 11 days this month i figured i'm a little rushed for CCC :P One day I may rebuild it better.... maybe... Enjoy! David

The great Avalonion rivers bring prosperity to the land through trade and the vibrant wildlife that they support. Apparently they also bring in prosperity and wealth when Avalonian forestmen decide to make raids on travelling folk, particularly Kaliphlites. Everyone knows that Kaliphlites always carry gold on them. Always. CCC XII The merry band this was fun, though fairly hard to photograph due to the reflection the waterfall picked up, but came out pretty well I'd say. Inspired by Kyles' great moc, the old forest road, and wouldn't have been possible without Nick (Brickthing) randomly giving me a bag of close to a thousand trans clear tiles, haha you rock mate ;) enjoy!

David Hensel vs Professor B. "There is only one lord of the ring, and he does not share power!" For the MELO, one day build, not too happy but considering i have almost no experience in this sort of building i think it came out OK Enjoy!

Tyler and Evan both built awesome reincarnations of my favorite robot ever, Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter – Earth-Class)so i had to aswell, scale was determined by the 5 wide tracks, and it took a grand total of 8 hours since evans version. excuse the poor photos, Im working with a tablet camera for a few months till i can get myself a DSLR D: Enjoy!

it seams historicans are lazy and just use the same building plans for every single forge Taking a short break from OP angles after the rhosgobel MOC :) Everyone should know what this is based off.many people have made reduxes of this but no one had ever changed alot, infact for the most part all ive really done is borrow the shape, trying to cram in a bunch of things from older mocs, as well as a few new ones aswell. I'm not entirely sure how much I like it all. This build was started finished and photographed on the 23rd of December. thanks to Zcerry for giving me ~80 more dk tan tiles than i'd asked for :) Also an entry to CCC, childs life, depicting a child learning the trade of his father. enjoy
