  1. I remember your try at the 9Lives Car.Looks a bit weird,but who am i to judge (which reminds me that somewhere on my HDD there is a 6wide Version of 9Lives...or at least a Work in Progress).I also made the shoddy white Van they found in one Episode and later modified for Jacob to sell is weird Food....yes,recently i binge-watched the whole Series again (imagine the Duke of Detroits Limousine made in Lego :D) I know, colorwise my Toxic Waste Truck is a bit off but i build it with the Parts i had and i already had a hard Time finding the right Pieces for the stupid protective Cage.
  2. The "ARV"-Armored Recreational Vehicle ---------------------------------------- The post-apocalyptic Wastelands in the Future can be quite dangerous and treacherous,but what if you have a Family you want to protect and you want to find a better Place to live? Well,just hope you got one of these,the "ARV" (stands for "Armored Recreational Vehicle). A once ordinary Offroad Van,this Allwheel drived Vehicle gets through pretty much everything thanks to the rugged and massive Cage that protects the vulnerable Enginebay and Windshield from Damage. I wanted to try the new flared Fender Pieces Lego introduced this Year and one Thing i immediatly thought of was "rugged 4x4 Camper". The Roofrack holds some Luggage and Sparewheels which are hold in Place by a strong Net. The Grill Area contains a Nod to 2 older Lego Sets,Hero Factory (see the little Badge?) and Power Miners.

  3. Looks like they will available in mid January first.Just checked the german Shop@Home and the Sets weren´t even shown there yet but instead the new Nexo Knights,City,Friends etc. Anyone knows the Reason why the Ninjago Sets are delayed and seem to get released a bit later evrywhere?
  4. I wonder if the new S.O.G. Sets will already be in the Lego Stores after Christmas (27th December) in Germany. Anyone has any info on that?
  5. I really can´t wait for some of the new Lego Sets that come next Year,and one of those is 76096 from the DC Superheroes Line. For the first Time ever a certain raunchy Bountyhunter from Space will start to exist in real Minifigure Form (makes me wonder if he will pull a Lego Deadpool Move,seen only one Year and then Goodbye forever) and he even comes with his own Space Hog in the Set.But let´s be honest,that Thing is kinda terrible.Nice Parts Selection but the Proportions are way off. Well,i gave it a go in LDD and designed my own Space Hog for the Main Man. I took some Inspiration from the 90s Lobo Comics and from his short Cameos in various Episodes of the animated DC Universe when i designed the Space Hog. I really liked the Skull Build from the original Set but tried to shrink down the Bike a bit to make it look better next to the Minifigure. With the powerful Turbine in the back a mangy Bountyhunter...errrhm,i mean a legitimate Businessman can speed from Slam City to the intergalactic Bounty Hnter Agency in a Heartbeat,even if it is your last. All it needs now is the famous Hook on a Chain and Lobo is ready to go. What do you think?
  6. Absolutely love the intricate Bodywork of this Batmobile.Skillfully crafted and sculpted from a wide cornucopia of different Parts. I know that the Spikes on the rear Fenders are supposed to be stylized Batwings but i think it makes the Car look really wild,like a dangrous Beast ambushing it´s Prey and the Spikes represent spiked Hair. Keep on building.
  7. Well,the unprinted Arms and Legs are definetely a Bummer.I wonder if at least the backs are printed,at least the characters that should have something going on on the back like Cyborg, Cheetah and Lobo. I will get Superman & Krypto Team-Up and Speed Force Freeze Pursuit for sure (mostly for the Minifigs and the Parts).
  8. Motorcity - Toxic Waste Truck ------------------------------------- Well Folks here it is,the Toxic waste Truck with Trailer that was inspired by the Artwork and Style of the old Disney XD Show "Motorcity". motorcity-Brandon-2-759x1024 The Truck is a bulky Cab over Engine Semi with a remarkably short Wheelbase (the Lego Model is prone to tipping over without the attached Trailer :D). The Wasteland of tomorrow is a tough Place and so the Vehicles need to be tough,too.A narrow Windshield and an overall armored Appearance make this Truck look rigid enough to survive pretty much everything. While the Truck rolls on conventionally enforced Rubber Tyres,the Toxic Waste Trailer relies on Repulsor Pads for a smooth Ride.Of course the Trailer can only be moved with a Powersource attached to it (most Cases a motorized Vehicle attached to the Trailer will do as a Powersource). The rigid Cage around the actual Tank provides Protection from all sorts of Threads like Road Pirates,Mines or falling Rocks.

Comments are always welcome.
  9. Hehe,well played:D Glad to see everyone likes this tiny Thing.
  10. That´s a great Idea actualy... Ignore all the red or mismatched Colors,those will be fixed in the actual Build.Also those Technic Holes give me a lot of Opportunities to add Stuff to it...like Chains,Signs etc.
  11. Sorry for the late Reply everyone. For everyone who´s interested,i uploaded the LDD File of the 8 wide Police Cruiser in a Lego Group on Facebook,the direct Link to the File is below: Grab the LDD File here...
  12. Hey Guys, as some of you know,the new Lego Ninjago Movie Sets are out and some of them look quite neat.One of my Favorites is the smallest Set with the Rickshaw and the Piranha Walker. It just looks so dang cute with those huge yellow Feet (kinda looks like the Walker borrowed a Pair of oversized Clogs) and you easily can imagine this Thing flopping around on your Desk and desperately trying not to look adorable. But wait, shouldn´t a Walker have working Feet and Legs to walk? It should,but instead it gets a bunch of angled Technic Elements quickly thrown together to look like Legs.The little Chap is pretty stiff down there. There is an easy fix for that:remove the angled Technic Pieces,get a Pair of Balljoints with Friction Snap Pieces (Part 6628) and a handful of various Mixel Joints. Decorate those Legs to your liking and enjoy a posable and walking Piranha Walker (yes,imagine that flop,flop,flop Sound from naked Feet wearing rubber Clogs) and there you are.... You can download the LDD File below https://www.mediafire.com/file/7pzkn1gh88kcx59/Lego Ninjago 70629 Walker Modification.lxf Have Fun and enjoy building :D
  13. Well,the "build a futuristic Vehicle"-Bug bit me again and i checked i Folder of cool Scifi Artworks for Inspiration. I found this Artwork of a Toxic Waste Truck with Trailer from the Cartoon Show "Motorcity" and i really liked it,so i gave it a go. motorcity-Brandon-2-759x1024 The Truck itself is pretty much done,but i´m having trouble designing the protective Cage for the toxic Waste Tank. concept concept #1 concept #3 Maybe one of you Guys have a good Idea.It doesn´t have to look exactly like in the Artwork,just a rugged Rollcage similar to the one in the Artwork would be okay. concept #4 I uploaded the lxf File just in Case: https://www.mediafire.com/file/zcvo2f8185kcfrz/concept.lxf
  14. The 1916 Detroit Electric -------------------------------- Electric Cars are nothing new,in Fact the early Days of the Automobile saw some remarkable alternate Concepts to Fuel burning Engines. The Car Manufacturer Detroit Electric Car Company was specialized in building Cars with with an electric Engine. One of those Cars was the Detroit Electric from 1916 which was also known for being used by Grandma Duck,known from various Carl Barks Comics. My Model started as an old Fabuland Vehicle Base where one of the Tow Hitches was broken off.I used rounded and regular Slopes to get the Shape of the Car right. Detroit Electric Detroit Electric Detroit Electric Detroit Electric Detroit Electric Detroit Electric Hope you like this cute little Vehicle,Comments are always welcome.
  15. I really love the new Ninjago Wave,especially they now show a grittier more urban Appearance with all that Biker Gang Stuff going on. I think most of the Sets are pretty likeable even if i´m not a big Fan of that oversized green Car or those weird giant Bikes.Luckily it´s all Lego so i might end up with those Sets anyway and modify them to my liking.Those larger Bikes could be turned into some sort of Hoverspeeder which usually seem to be a bit bigger than a regular Motorbike (just compare a regular Motorbike and the fullscale Prop of Rey´s Speeder in TFA). My favorite Set has to be the cool S.O.G. Lair and the one with the Mech and that huge Troll Guy....you can´t convince me otherwise,to me he looks like the Harry Potter Troll went for a Membership in the Hells Angels :D Those Spinjitsu Flyers are neat too,at least as Parts Packs and to get a whole Ninja Team.On a Sidenote,i totally love that Sons of Garmadon Logo with Garmadons Face and Helmet and Bike Handles growing out of it. If i ever find a high quality Version of it,i will definetely let me print that on a T Shirt or maybe get it machine embroidered on a Jeans west :D
  16. This is such a fascinating and highly detailed Creation.While going through Picture after Picture,i could almost imagine this as a Movie (reading the Comments afterwards showed me i was right) and i could almost hear a Narrator telling the Tale of a young but wise Martial Arts Teacher that lives in a quiet Town,far away from Fear,War and Suffering to find his inner Peace...oh and a Bamboo Flute as a Background Music. The last Picture is priceless,Baby Wu :D
  17. Thanks everyone,happy to see my wild Creation got likes. @Littleworlds Wild and messy Hotrods are the best,aren´t they?
  18. Glad to see you Guys like it. I agree @ZORK64 ,my Mech really looks like SCVs from Starcraft.Maybe i will take some further Inspiration from them,stil want to build other Tools and Attachments for it.
  19. I really like this Year´s Nexo Knights Power Suit Sets. These Sets have quite some Potential for Modifications of all Sorts. A few Days ago a good Friend brought me the yellow Nexo Suit and after i build it the first Time,i instantly had some Ideas on how to modify and improve it. Despite being an armored Exo Suit for one of the NEXO Knights,i always thought it looks more like some sort of futuristic Construction or Cargo Apparatus. Maybe instead of an Axe and a Shield,how about a Claw to handle heavy Stuff and a Drill for Mining?And a Forklift Rollcage wouldn´t look too bad on it either. I added a few more Bits,modified the Arms and Legs a bit and now we have a bulky little Mining Mech. The Claw and the Drill can be moved into pretty much every Position thanks to the Mixels Ball Joints.

  20. Greetings fellow Mortals! Halloween comes creepin around the Corner and all those Monsters,Creeps,Ghosts and Ghouls are coming from the Underworld in our World to feast on tasty Treats, scare Mortals for Fun and Party like the rotten Corpses from a thrilling 1983s Music Video. Most of them are okay with floating,crawling or lumping all the Way,but some undead Folks prefer a more comfortable Mode of Transportation. The mysterious Gentleman we see here in the Driving Seat obviously prefers a powerfull and somewhat monstrous Chariot with a huge blown Engine that might even wake up the Dead. The Gearshifter has a mysterious Ruby embedded (i bet it just hides the NOS Button) and on the back a huge and impressive Coffin is carried around. Probably just his Unmentionables inside but who knows....whoooo! IMG_20171030_183743 IMG_20171030_183806 IMG_20171030_183816 IMG_20171030_183831 IMG_20171030_183843 IMG_20171030_183905 IMG_20171030_183930 IMG_20171030_183952 IMG_20171030_184008 IMG_20171030_184145 IMG_20171030_184206 Well,i wish you a happy Halloween Season and i hope you like my seasonal MOC.
  21. Oh that Building is just adorable.I love how you used the Pieces from the Pizza Van. Building an 8wide Modular Building sure is a tough Challenge,but you pulled it off nicely,well done.
  22. There is a Plugin for Firefox called "photobucked embed fix",try that.I use it and i can see all my Photobucket Pictures and others too. Take that you greedy Photobucket B...!!!
  23. I really love the new Ninjago Movie Sets,and two of my first Sets were the City Chase and Master Falls. They were Fun little Builds,but i always thought could do more with them. The first Set i remodelled was the City Chase,especially that Green Grocer Stall.I turned it into a Building with a Shop on the Ground Level and added a few more Details.The Building is only a few Studs deep because i wanted it to work like a Background.I tried my Best to incorporate some asian architectural Vibe,not really sure if i accomplished that,it`s up to you to decide. 20170825_171726 20170825_171739 20170825_171748 20170825_171759 20170825_171816 The second Set i modified was the "Master Falls" Set with the hanging Rope Bridge.The left Side was a tad bit boring and bland for my Taste and so i started adding a few Bricks.....until it turned out into a creepy looking Entrance to a Cave or something (just think of all the Skull shaped Entries to secret Caves and Hideouts you have seen in TV). 20170825_172332 20170825_172340 Oh,i also found a nice Place for the Polybag Dragon... 20170825_172352 20170825_172404 20170825_172411 20170825_172425 20170825_172458 Hope you like my Modifications,Comments are always welcome.
  24. Yes you are right,i tried to keep it in 6 wide so it still would fit most Lego City Sets and to stay in the Lore.Of course it`s a bit cramped in there but i wanna see Lego pull of a 6Wide Car with Room for 3 Minifigs :D Yeah,i might modify it a little bit.It would be really cool if Lego would do such a Series,it could be something like Space Police meets Lego City.I mean Cars and all that are cool,but who doesn`t wish real Hovercars would exist.... Wow,i have to say,those are some really cool Modifications,and those Stoops are a mighty fine and clever Idea.Call me crazy but they look like they can be pulled out a bit for easier getting in and out.Also love what you have done with the rear End. You`re right about the Color Combination,it really looks a bit like a modern Turtles Party Bus,doesn`t it? Dang,how could this get past me?Now that you mention it,it really looks damn close to those black Hover Vans.Maybe i will modify the Design a bit and build a Gridlock Van.It is on my To Do List for Ages now....btw,huge Doctor Who Fan here :D Very happy to see that so many People like this Design,thanks a lot for the Comments and Ideas on how to improve the Design. BTW,those green Roofs are both from the 7930 Star Wars Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship.I think they shape the left Door or Access Hatch.
  25. Thanks,glad to see you like it.
