Hello! A fantastic vignette! The Rancor is again spot-on! I am just not sure the scale difference stands out enough because of the immense size of the Rancor. He could also easily grab the real minifigure. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A great brick-built Rancor! It is really angry and menacing looking just like in the movie. Maybe you can go even further and try to stick one of the guards into the Rancor's mouth. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! My three points go to... - CorneliusMurdock: 1 point - Praiter Yed: 1 point - Tomcat RIO: 1 point Cheers, ~ Chris

Thank you for the compliments. Next, I think, will be more vessles from the expanded universe. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello everybody! It has been a while since the last mini model update, I know. Today I'd like to present two new models for the KOTOR fans among you (Knights of the Old Republic). I myself did neither read any comic or play any game of that series, but nonetheless there are some nice and challenging vessels to be made. -------------------- First, we have the Ebon Hawk (reference link), a small transport ship that went through many hands and saw a number of different mission profiles. >>> Click here for all images and building instructions <<< -------------------- The second ship from the KOTOR era is the infamous Interdictor Cruiser "Leviathan" (reference link). The curved shape is quite a challenge because it can get bulky very quickly rather than smooth. >>> Click here for all images and building instructions <<< -------------------- That's it for now. Have a great week-end everyone! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! I am neither a friend of "like buttons" nor "ratings". In my eyes, "rating" a moc or press the "liking" button is the same thing. As rating is usually performed with stars or similar things, I will explain my thoughts of disliking. 4 Stars = I like it very much! 3 Stars = I like it! 2 Stars = I don't like it 1 Star = I don't like it at all I personally consider such systems as inapproprioate. With such a rating system we do not only have a questionable "like"-function but also an even more questionable "dislike"-function. "Ratings" and "likings" reduce the amount of dicussion. Some people might prefer the fast and simple way by pressing a button instead of typing a comment. But a real constructive discussion is much more. It is appreciation for the creation you built. It is motivation for you to continue building. It is inspiration for new ideas. And it is also a source to improve your skills. Besides disliking it, a real "rating" of a model should be much more than just quickly pressing a button after you looked at an image for 5 seconds. Many more things should apply for a proper rating. How old is the builder? How many bricks were available? How long is (s)he already building? What amount of time did (s)he spend for it? And so forth. I doubt that many people will consider these questions when "rating" something. Summary We are a discussion forum, and thus (I) enjoy friendly conversations more than pressing buttons. Thank you for reading, and have a great week-end. ~ Christopher

Hello! It's an interesting alien head concept. Maybe you'd like to add a pair of flippers to his feet to underline his aquatic nature. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Well, not yet. It would be quite a challenge though. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Although I rather doubt the holes in the wings will contribute to smooth aerodynamics, it simply looks great! The colour scheme is also nicley to look at. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! It's a nice hexagonal pool layout. The glowing effects look pretty good, especially the glowing of the transparent bottle behind the pool. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! These images create a scary and oppressive atmosphere, and I guess that's what the intention was. Very well bricked and phorographed! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Again, a smoothly transforming vehicle. I am not so a fan of the old transparent windows here. While it looks okay for the truck, I find it more irritating for the robot. Maybe you could replace them with something black, like TLC does ot for the windscreens of the Racers. This element could work. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A nice tracked version of your quad bike. The red minifigure heads give it the right classic space feeling as an analogue to classic space's red wheels. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A nice steampunk flyer, from what I can see. A lighter backround - as already mentioned - and some dust removal from the wings will definitely improve the display of the model. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! It's a really nice playset layout. It was clever to use white as a main colour, because you can combine every other colour with that, no matter how many there are (I counted 8 transparent colours. ). My favourite detail is the radar dish with the brackets around it. Very clever and good looking. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Congratulations!

Thank you everybody for the kind comments. It's great to see there's a potential for these unconventional approaches. Yes, correct. This is one of the most versatile pieces ever. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! The cockpit is one important detail of each plane making it unique and reconisable. I have always liked your brick-built solutions for your previous planes, helicopters and vehicles. It's great we now can see this new wave of planes with new canopies. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Besides the usual excellence of building techniques portrayed in your helicopter, I also appreciate that you still care for your older models and update them. I often do that as well, and I think it's part of our building progress. You can see how your building techniques and styles change with time. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello everybody! Today I'd like to present an alternative Darth Vader minifigure to you which you might know from the Star Wars universe. It does not use any Star Wars licensed pieces and is made up from official non-modified bricks and minifigure pieces only. You might ask: "Why should one make such a figure? There is an official Vader figure already, and it's more detailed anyway." Well, you're right. But sometimes I wonder what Star Wars fans would have come up with if LEGO® never had a Star Wars™ licence. And that's my motivation to make alternative Star Wars minifigures. That's all for now. Thank you for your interest. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! The tattoo art is really impressive. It looks like a real torso printing. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Thank you for the kind remarks! Customising with bricks only is also much fun. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Congratulations!

Hello! A nice three-eyed and unique alien head design! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A nicely designed scene. The skeleton persuaders look a bit static though. Maybe you want to lift one of the legs of each skeleton to create the effect of walking. Cheers, ~ Christopher
