  1. It is Halloween Night my dear Friends and even Super Heroes need some Fun Activities once in a while. After Spiderman and Doctor Strange teamed up to defeat an Invasion of Monsters from another Realm, Spiderman decided it`s Time to get into the right Spirit of his second favorite Holiday Season. Some of is Super Hero Friends came over (well,only Kid Spider Miles Moralis,the Sorcerer Supreme and the Allmighty Thor) and they had a Fun Time going around the Neighborhood :D Spidey really likes his Costume,sadly Eyepatches were sold out....and Nick Fury refused to borrow one. Happy Halloween everyone,stay spooky.
  2. Telling Stories to an old Friend You might be gone,sleeping in the Dark. Enjoyed reading in a Park, Now i`m ready to be brave, and sit next to you by your Grave. This is my very first Halloween themed MOC and it tells a sad and creepy Story but also features over the top Halloween Aesthetics. You can see Spooky Boy and a well known Teddybear sitting next to a Grave. To add a bit more to the overall creepy Scene i placed some Minifig Legs below the Surface where they are eerily enlighted by a Lightbrick. Happy Halloween everyone,stay spooky.
  3. The Future might be a shiny modern Place with flying Cars,Robots walking your Dogs and Trashcans bringing out themselfes for emptying. But we still have a sprawling Society in Lego City and the City still has all the Problems from the ancient Past.A high Crime Rate lead to Police State like Tendencies and Pollution and Trash is still a big Problem. Minifigkind still produces a lot of Waste and some of it might even be of toxic Nature. This is where the Toxic Waste Transporter comes in handy. The Containment Unit holds back pretty much everything and you can transport the Toxic Waste safely to the next Recycling Factory....well,unless you are a carefree highschool Dropout with a Drivers License and bump into everything. Those Valves are almost indestructible...almost.So better be concerned about the green Goo coming out of the Containment Tank. Well,this looks like a responsible Guy Ah Bricks!!!Spilling some toxic Goo isn`t that good. The "Belly of the Beast",funtional but not spectacular...
  4. Bwahaha.....an evil Cloud? Just try to imagine it and all I see is a grey fluffy Thing with a frowning Face... Corrupted Shields sound interesting,looks like next Year's Nexo Knights Line-Up will kick it up a notch to the weird Site. Hopefully we will see Jestro in a Set with a smaller Price Tag.Still want that Guy.
  5. Now that would be cool.So i guess that "Torso" from the Mech is hinged and it kinda works like a tiny Hulkbuster,right? Then i think i might be happy to see the new Action Sets.If my Eyes were right,the Piece used for the Torso of the Mechs are those larger Vehicle Fender Pieces,used in the Lego Cars Sets and also in the Shell Ferrari Exclusives....sweet,i can always use a few of these.
  6. Yeah,that Face is creeping me out.Kinda reminds me of the Smiling Expression of the Chesire Cat in the real life Alice Movies. That little Buggy next to that weird Tank,does it use 6 Shooters as Wheels? My only Hope is that those "Action" Sets come with regular Minifig Legs and Torsos too. I really liked the Ultimate Sets from this Year because i also could choose to remove all that oversized Junk and just have neat looking Minifigs.
  7. Well,i now used the old Fashion Way,adding the img Code to the Adress...seems to work.
  8. I`ve been very busy the last few Dayws and yesterday i planned a new MOC. It still only exists in virtual Form but i`m collecting Parts to build this Bus in real Bricks. You can clearly see i used the classic red Doubledecker Busses from London as an Inspiration,removed the Wheels and added a whole lot of scifi-ish Stuff to make it float. I worked around 5 Hours on this LDD Model and the Rendering for all Pictures (exept the one with the Lift) also took about 15 Minutes each Pic. As usual i took a regular old Car and upgraded it with modern Hover Engines to make it fly.Since the Double Decker Bus is a big and very heavy Vehicle,the Hover Engines needed to be a bit bigger.They can swivel up and down to keep the Bus stable and are very safe.Maybe your Hair gets messed up if you go too close to the Engines but otherwise it`s fine. The futuristic Routemaster Bus also lost the narrow Stairs to the upper Area and replaced it with a small Elevator,now older or handicapped People can go up there too The Undercarriage also holds a few Details and some simple Greebling I wouldn`t mind getting some Comments,Critics and maybe some Ideas or Advices what i can do better. And before you ask:Yes,a matching London Cab might be in the works :D
  9. Mkay,i tried but when i klick on the grey "insert into post" Button the Field with the inserted Link turns red and nothing else happens...
  10. Speaking of Photos: How can i add Pictures to a new Topic?Usually there was a Button (something like "insert Image") and a Window popped up where i could add the Link Adress of the Image uploaded to my Photobucket Account. In older Forums the Adress got something like /img....img added to it so they would show up but here i can`t find anything similar...
  11. Your MOC was very clearly inspired by the Artist Alejandro Burdisio who is known for cool Artworks with hovering vintage Vehicles flying next to floating or regular Buildings. I really love your Style just because i`m also a huge Fan of Hover Cars with retro Designs and did quite a few by myself. Keep up the good Work,you definately need to extend this to a whole Series of Mocs.
  12. I`m really torn between two Themes where i could post this little MOC but i decided to give it a Go here in the Licenced Themes Area. Why you ask? Well,i recreated the little Streetsweeper Vehicle from the Lego Game "LEGO Marvel`s Avengers" where you use this Vehicle to clean the Heli Carriers Deck from an Oil Spill. Sure,the Vehicle would also Qualify as a Town/City themed Vehicle but it was never made in a Set in that particular Style. Nothing too exiting but i really liked it being such a small and detailed Vehicle and i had Fun recreating it. Hope you will like it as much as i do.
  13. If you`re thinking about that TRU "Child friendly" Giraffe than you`re pretty right. Oh my Gosh,i just realised by putting Child friendly in Quotation Marks i made it even worse....
  14. I present you my newest MOC,the wooden Eagle Talja and her best Friend Rocco the Monkey are travelling around the World in the Wooden Eagle,the flying Ship they also call their Home. Don`t be fooled by the Impression that Rocco is just an ordinary Primate!He`s also an excellent Mechanic and keeps the Ship going. The Wooden Eagle might be old and most of the Ships Parts date back to Times where Ships are bound to roam the Watersurface but today the Wooden Eagle can fly up high in the Sky. Who knows what Wonders and Mysteries our two Friends and their trusty flying Ship will find.... The Wooden Eagle was inspired by Steampunk and Dieselpunk Visuals aswell as animated Movies and TV Shows with similar Aesthetics. Hope you like my newest MOC and the Way i took the Pictures. Feel free to leave a Comment.
  15. I bought the Game a few Days ago and i totally love it.The Graphics are nice, the Characters are great and it`s always Fun to see those adorable little Minifigs doing cool Stuff.Also the classic Lego Humor and many cool Ideas that give me Inspiration to build Things are something that makes it a nice Package. But it seems the Game has a few Bugs and Glitches which might render it almost unplayable. For example,that stupid Moonstone Machine in Struckers Castle,i just can`t get it to work.I followed Tutorials and Videos but the Machine doesn`t react or i`m just too stupid. Also,if i leave the Level and go into Space for some Free Roam Fun in Manhattan i can only change one of the Characters at those Platforms. Sure,i can use the second Character and change it into another Character but i can`t move away with the second Character and neither i can change to the first Character.The Game doesn`t freeze,you can still see People walking around etc and i can move the Camera but the second Character is stuck to the changing Platform. Anyway to fix this?
  16. Hey Guys, since the last Update of LDD i am wondering:Is there a Way to modify LDD so the Colorpalette of existing Colors of each Part can be updated? It`s kinda tedious to copy the Partnumber or official Name into Google,Brickset or Bricklink and to see what Colors a certain Piece comes in,may it be a new Part from 2015/2016 or a Part which Colorpalette hasn`t been updated in a while...
  17. I can`t imagine that i`m the only one who is wondering about this. I know that some of the newer Lego Games have quite a nice Array of brickbuild Ingame Objects and Vehicles and i`ve always wondered if there is someone or a Group that collects Infos about them and try to build them in LDD or physical Bricks. So,anyone can lead me to some Infos?
  18. If that pink and vanilla Copacabana Beach House doesn't come in a Batman Set I would be very sad ☺☺☺☺ Haha,just kidding. Love those funny Pictures.
  19. Haha,and i already thought "Man,he can`t be serious by saying i should use Megabloks Bricks :D" Wouldn`t it be Fun if the Forum would use several Lego Knockoff Brands for replacing various "bad Words"?Like "Sluban" for the F-Word or Banbao for the S-Word and so on....:D Those are some great Advices you have given me.To be honest,i`m not too happy with the Dieselpunk Trucks rear Hovertech myself.Just was a bit lazy and decided for a fast and easy Construction. Your Chassis Idea sounds very interesting.Some Pics might sure help improve my Skills. And "designing it with Wheels and then take off the Wheels" sounds like something i often do. For example,my most recent MOC was based on a 6 wide Taxi from a Lego Game.All i did was removing the Wheels.added some futuristic Stuff,Air Intakes and some sort of Antigravity Device that sticks out of the Fenders and yoila,i had a hovering Taxi which was a vintage Car retrofitted with modern Hovertech..maybe you would love to have a look at it :D http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=139147
  20. Those were some useful Tips zenn. It seems that one of your Creations was actually the Inspiration for all my retro futuristic Vehicles i`ve done so far.That black hovering 50s Pickup is one of my all time Favorites. I`m always struggeling with building something that replaces the Wheels and more or less fits into the Fenders and i always wondered,how did you fit in that much greebleing into the Fenders of the black Hover Pickup?
  21. Lego City Future - Vintage Hovercab A while ago i presented you a sleek and modern Hovercab.This aerodynamic Vehicle was build from Day 1 as a Hovercar and was build for Speed and even for flying in higher Altitutes,so you could even call a Cab in the 200th Floor of your Apartmentcomplex. Compared to this,my newest MOC rather depicts a sluggish and old Vehicle from the so called "Rubber-Era" which was the Time when all Vehicles were still earthbound and moved on Rubbertyres. As you may know by now,converting an existing 4 wheeled Car into a Hovercar by replacing most of the Drivetrain and the Chassis by some Aftermarket Hover-Engines is cheaper than bying a new Hovercar.Taxes and Insurance are also way lower because they cause less Accidents and they preserve historic Vehicles. When this Yellow Cab was still new,it was a large,almost enormous and elegant Car with a powerfull Engine and a Suspension you might think the Car was floating on Clouds.Not much has changed since then.Still big,still comfortable and under the Hood a huge and powerful Engine.Sure,nowadays,it`s an electric Plasma-Turbine but it`s the Idea that Counts. The only Downside:Better don`t try to float over Structures taller than 3 Meters.The Hoverpads can defeat Gravity up to a certain Point.but try to get higher and you will hit the Ground like a Rock. I also added some Pictures with my earlier build Hovercab,which depicts the modern Hovercar. Hope you like my newest MOC and enjoyed a bit my little history about Hovercars in Lego World...
  22. Hey Guys, right now i`m building another Vehicle for my "Lego City Future" Theme. This Time,it`s a small and ordinary old Car (modeled after a Ford Model A) that was once retrofitted with affordable Aftermarket Pieces to turn it into a Hovercar. The Main Body is pretty much done but i still struggle to think of something for the Chassis (the Area with the orange Bits) I know that there are a lot of talented Masterbuilders around here and i`m sure someone has a cool Idea. I added the LDD File for your convenience. Would love to hear/see some Input and Ideas. Lego City Future-Ford Model A.lxf
  23. Hm,so it`s not that different from regular Lego Cars :D I`m happy to see many People like my Designs.Be sure to stay tuned for more Vehicles from this Series....
  24. Finished my newest MOC: The Racing Van This MOC started as a regular plain Van with a vintage Design but turned into a Service Car for a Racing Team. The Design is influenced by various classic Vans and doesn`t depict a certain Model. The Roofrack is filled with Spare Rims, a Battery and two Boxes filled with all sorts of Spareparts. The Inside has enough Room for a whole Toolshed but at least it Houses the nessesary Tools to keep the Teams Racing Cars running.. Hope you like my newest MOC and feel free to leave a Comment or two
  25. Just rewatched the Movie a few Days ago and you did a spot on Job.Maybe some Things are off,i can`t remember seing one of those Ultron Minions riding a Bike or playing Chess :D Also great Idea breaking up the Grid by placing the Street and the Buildings diagonal.
