Hello! Very smooth design! And it's even function in that you can lower the top platform for loading the cars. Excellent! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A great display indeed! You are right. It is an idea that comes to mind when seeing the Gorilla minifigure. I've bee planning a similar concept for a while now, and had to wait for more tan bricks. You beat me to it. And as I respect that I will not post my version on this platform. Well done! ~ Christopher

Hello! Thank you for your interest and praises! I really enjoy this little space set miniaturization series. Not all sets do have the potential to be minimized however. But for those where it works, I'll be happy to present you some more soon. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Thank you for your comments everyone! Of course I will continue with providing free instructions. Everything else would be unfair for the community. And you're a great community here! See you around, ~ Christopher

Hello! I always find it fascinating how you manage to create this kind of random chaos in such scenes. It's harder than it looks, that's for sure! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Some ncie alternative models you're presenting here. The sled is an interesting concept. I am already looking forward to the new 2011 mini creator sets, and I guess you too. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Creator Set 4939 Alternative: Aircraft Carrier
Legostein replied to Legostein's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Excellent! Happy building then! Thank you. I see you also got active in alternate creator building. Isn't it fun? Cheers, ~ Christopher -
Hello! The shape is perfect! It's quite a difficult design with all the triangular corners. I like the combination of top wing which smoothly merges with the nose element a lot. Well done! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! The advent calendar idea is great for every fan. I also looked at your collection in your second link. A pretty nice start for a collection. Several of those vehicles see to be original designs by LEGO® when I see it correctly on these images, like the Venator, Y-Wing and some more. From your own designs, I really like the CR-20 Carrier. Using that 1x6 inverted slope was a brilliant idea! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! The fold-out wings are a nice feature! However, the ship you built is not similar to your "reference" image. If you could not find an online image of your real ship, why didn't you take a photo of the original directly out of the book you got it from? Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! An interesting walker design that perfectly fits into the steampunk theme. I especially like the unit with the carriage wheel merged with the THECHNIC® gear. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello everybody! You might have noticed that I haven't posted many new mini models for several weeks. Let me quickly explain why. I am bothered by the many people over on youtube who take my models for their (mostly of only moderate quality) movies and don't give credit. It drives me mad. These people don't understand the hard work that it takes to make such models. I always thought providing free instructions was a great feature for the community. Obviously some people abuse this for their own purposes. So I am not sure if/how to continue. I am quite frustrated. -------------------- By ending my sorrows paragraph, I'd like to present a new starship mini model to you: The Sienar Systems Marauder Corvette (reference link). Most people won't know this starship, as it's from the Expanded Universe and never got all that popular. Neither among the fans, nor in the Star Wars Galaxy. Let me quickly outline the starship's history. The Marauder Corvette was produced by Sienar Systems, a predecessor of the Later Sienar Fleet Systems who manufactured the TIE Fighters, prior to the Clone Wars for the Old Republic. The way too complicated bureaucracy of the Old Republic did not only catalyse its own fall, but also prevented the Marauder Corvette to be incorporated into the Old Republic's navy. The design was finally sold to the Corporate Sector Authority who uses it in their patrol fleet. The Marauder Corvette is slightly larger (195m) than a Corellian Corvette (150m). But while the Corellian Corvettes (like the Tantive IV) were quite modular designs for numerous mission profiles, the Marauder Corvette was designed with combat in mind, and thus more heavily armed. Okay, enough history lessons for now, let's look at the model. It is very rich in jumper plates to realize all the corners edges and wings. Click here for building instructions. With that I am done for now. Thanks for reading and listening to my sorrows. See you soon, ~ Christopher

Hello! A great layout with countless nice details. The facial expressions are also well-chosen besides all the great things already mentioned. I am just wondering what head does your Gorilla currently have when the second in row in the mud river actually has the original Gorilla head? Oh I guess you have more of those figures. Or you gave it a proper head as it's no longer a gorilla suit but a real gorilla instead. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Creator Set 4939 Alternative: Aircraft Carrier
Legostein replied to Legostein's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Hello, and thank you once again. I hope you'll be able to locate one of these. As I said, it's one of the earlier Creator sets. I bought mine on a common auction platform. Cheers, ~ Christopher -
Hello! It's my pleasure to present another vehicle of the space miniaturization series to you today. This time it's the M:Tron Mega Core Magnetizer (set 6989). Now that it's minimized it's only a Mini Core Magnetizer I guess. The wheels are very old one-piece plate-and-wheel parts, but I was very happy to include these old pieces. Furthermore it comes complete with the loading crane and two storage containers. >>> Click here for all images and building instructions. <<< That's all for now. Thank you for your time and interest. See you around! ~ Christopher -------------------- Space Miniaturization Quick Links: --------------------

Hello! A great representation of this highlight from Back to the Future. It's very smooth. I like the slopes you used to complete the edges. The rear lights are also great. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! You shrinked down the official set to a nice compact display. It has everything it needs. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! A great display, very well set in scene! It's a realistic setup that could have taken place during the Battle of Hoth. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! A really decent hovercraft. I like the coating with the wedge plates, but also the use of those TECHNIC® bricks which do a perfect job here. These pieces are good for giving shape and detail. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! It's nice to see you now found your way into the Star Wars Galaxy. It's a nice gadget for the troopers. I am sure they appreciate your efforts. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! The cloning facility is really a great concept and designed well. The small hovering operating droid uses many unconventional connections, thus giving him a complex and agile look. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! A truly amazing creation! The boat hull is brilliant, as is the rest of the ship. Another spot-on is the fantastic helicopter. It uses a clever way of realizing the pentagonal rotor. Cheers, ~ Christopher
-
Hello! It's not directly a blueprint, but a schematic drawing where you can spot all of the desired details. ARC-170 Schematic Drawing Although the wings are not SNOT, there are two fantastic UCS ARC-170 starfighters, by Reto Geiger and Pepa Quin. I am sure you can find some useful inspiration there. Good luck with your project and have fun! ~ Christopher

Hello! That's a nice and compact machine! You definitely know how to connect your clips and hinges. On the back picture you can see a pretty damaged clip plate with ring. I would replace this one with an un-chewed one. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A lovely speeder! The half arches really do a great job at the rear of the speeder. My favourite detail is the open patchwork engine which makes it perfectly authentic. Cheers, ~ Christopher
