  1. Great Island moc, I would love to see this as a real set!
  2. This is amazing! I still have the original set it was fun. Will you be submitting this to either lego ideas or rebrickable?
  3. As promised here is a video of the sliding door in action.
  4. Thank you for the comment, I was hopping it would be recognizable. It is partially visible in the picture of the children stepping out of the boxcar, attached behind the door is a column of bricks that has a 1x1 bracket at the bottom and top that holds the door in via the tile it rides on.
  5. Hello, This is my most recent moc, it is the red boxcar from The Boxcar Children series of children's books. I designed this moc using studio 2.0 and I am waiting on several Bricklink orders to build it in real life. This MOC has 1170 pieces, and all the parts with the exception of Benny’s pink cup are currently available parts and colors. The boxcar contains elements of both Canadian and American boxcar design and is not based on any particular model. The biggest influence in my design process was creating a way for the doors to slide open and closed, while keeping snot walls. This MOC is based on the original book in the series; the highlight is the dark red boxcar on an abandoned railway track. The boxcar is 24 studs by 6 studs, and is compatible with other LEGO trains. The doors of the boxcar are functional and slide open and closed. Just like in the book, the children access the boxcar via the stump of an old tree. In addition to the boxcar is the stone fire pit built by the children to cook their food in the pots and pans they found. Also included in this proposed set is the waterfall that the children use as a refrigerator to store their milk, and the swimming hole they created in the stream. The Boxcar Children is based on one of the bestselling children's book series of all time. The Boxcar Children tells the story of four orphaned children, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny, who mysteriously appear in a small town on a warm summer night. No one knows who these young wanderers are or where they have come from. The children make a home for themselves in an abandoned boxcar they discover in the woods. 2024 will be the 100th anniversary of the release of the original book in the series. Written by the Gertrude Chandler Warner, the series includes nearly 160 titles, with more being released every year. In the subsequent books, the children encounter many adventures and mysteries in their neighborhood or at the locations they visit with their grandfather. A touching tale of family togetherness targeted to kid’s age’s four to twelve. The books explore themes of personal integrity, problem-solving, generosity and kindness. The National Education Association listed the original book as one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children". In 2012 the original novel was ranked among the all-time "Top 100 Chapter Books", by the School Library Journal. At age fourteen, Henry is the oldest in the Alden family. He likes to figure out how things work, which makes him good at repairing and building stuff. While he’ll never brag, he’s a great runner, too! It’s not always easy being the oldest and having so much responsibility, but there’s nothing that Henry can’t handle. Jessie is twelve. She can always be counted on to take charge in a situation. She’s good at being organized, she makes lists in her notebook and always keeps track of facts when there’s a mystery to be solved. When her younger siblings need help, Jessie’s there. She loves planning adventures and taking care of Watch. Everyone knows ten-year-old Violet is creative, she loves to draw, take photos, and play the violin. She’s a little on the shy side, but because she’s quiet, she’s a careful observer. With her artist’s eye, Violet picks up on important details that her brothers and sister sometimes overlook. Can you guess her favorite color? Benny’s only six, but just because he’s the youngest Alden, it doesn’t mean he can’t help solve mysteries. He’s always curious and full of questions. In fact, one of his favorite questions is “When’s lunch?” because he’s usually hungry! Benny loves playing with Watch and visiting new places. Watch is the family dog, a friendly wire-haired fox terrier. Back when the children lived in an old boxcar in the woods, they found him as a stray. Since then, he has been loyal to the Alden's, especially Jessie, who once removed a thorn from his paw. Watch also has a special bond with Benny, who gives him treats. I believe the Boxcar Children will become a very successful set if it is selected in LEGO Ideas. The set has 3 target audiences, children who are reading the books, teachers who use the books as part of the curriculum, and AFOL train enthusiast who want a boxcar set to add to their train collections.

  6. I really like this moc. Is that a inside out tire for the cauldron?
  7. I like the trees and use of colour in this moc
  8. This looks excellent. Will you be submitting any Blacktron 2 ideas, into the Out of this World Space Builds! contest on Lego Ideas?
  9. Hello, Last month I created a moc of the Sunchaser from Ducktales and I got a number of requests to build the Seaduck from Talespin this is my latest moc built using stud.io. Talespin was a great Disney cartoon. This is a Lego version of the Seaduck piloted by Baloo being chased by Don Karnage that I designed. The Seaduck has a 64 stud wingspan, 3 doors, removable seating, and attachment point for Kit to cloud surf from. The Tri-wing Terror is 32 studs wide and has a compartment to store pirate treasure. more images here are some mashup pictures to compare the size of the Seaduck with the Sunchaser. Thanks for visiting! If you like what you see please consider supporting this on Lego Ideas.

  11. @adwind the interior is very basic. another inside shot
  12. "Life is like a hurricane, here in Duck Burg Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a duck blur Might solve a mystery, or rewrite history Duck Tales (woo oo)” I built the Sunchaser in the style of the 2017 Duck Tales reboot series which is currently on its 3rd season. This Sunchaser moc is comprised of approximately 1400 pieces, and has a wingspan of 64 studs, a length of 63 studs, and a height of 34 bricks. It is minifigure scale, and has seats for 8 in the cockpit deck, which is above the massive cargo bay that comes with a black sedan, further room for minifigures is found in the hidden lounge in the nose of the plane. The back end opens up giving access to the cargo bay and cockpit deck above. The black sedan is 14 studs long and sits 2 minifigures. Thanks for stopping by! I will keep you updated if it is a go ahead to be voted on Lego Ideas
  13. nice scale
  14. Update, Thanks to all the support for a return of the Wolfpack, we have managed to gain 100 votes in 4 days on Lego Ideas. There is still a long road to 10,000 so if you would like to see the Rosefinch Keep potentially produced as a official set, please share with friends and family. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98293548-02a7-4898-b333-db3d17f8271e
  15. great scale
  16. Hi, here are some closeups of the proposed minifigures. Sir Rosefinch Lady Astrid Squire Hans The Ghost Left Wolfpack guard Right Wolfpack guard Link to Lego Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98293548-02a7-4898-b333-db3d17f8271e
  17. Thanks, Wolfpack and forestmen are also favorites of mine. Thanks Thanks, Castles can sometimes fit a train layout
  18. I like builds in this scale, and you have done a great job here!
  19. I agree, builds with lakes and other natural features, bring life to displays. Using the 1x2 plate makes a better scale visually than 1x2 bricks. I was inspired by the old castle sets that had walls and corners pieces with grey bricks printed on black. Thanks, I kept the Wolfpack torso and legs original but used the modern cloth cape and hood to update them. The new ghost leg piece is great and it was fun to design the white ghost. Thank you, Thanks, Black and medium stone grey is a classic, the slope was to give the roof a little Nordic feel. This MOC has been generating positive reviews on my Instagram @bonobobricks so I entered it on Lego Ideas under the name "Rosefinch Keep". https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98293548-02a7-4898-b333-db3d17f8271e Welcome to Rosefinch Keep the northern stronghold of Sir Rosefinch noble knight of the Wolfpack kingdom. While the Wolfpack was originally advertised as a small faction of rogues, renegades, and bandits; to me growing up they were knights from a distant northern kingdom. The Keep is home to Lady Astrid, Squire Hans and Sir Rosefinch, who is instantly recognizable by the red bird he wears atop his helmet. The Keep is guarded by two strong Wolfpack warriors, and like every good old building is home to a ghost. I designed the Keep out of Black and Medium Stone Grey bricks, reminiscent of classic castle sets. The Keep is located in the northern frontier of the Wolfpack kingdom, and is built upon rocky islands off the shores of a lake, for protection from rival Kingdoms and roaming monsters. The buildings that make up the Keep are connected via stone bridges over the cold water below. The Keep is not just a decorative structure; it is functional too with all rooms accessible for play through moving walls and floors. Reasons why the Rosefinch Keep would make a great LEGO set: 1st The kids who grew up playing with the classic black and grey castle sets, are now Adults with children, and money to spend reliving childhood memories. 2nd The bricks and pieces used to build this set are universally applicable to build multiple alternative MOC’s with for extended play by children and AFOL’s alike. 3rd The size of Rosefinch Keep is just right for a set. It is large enough to fit in among modular buildings. Yet has a small enough part count that keeps the price affordable for regular people not just AFOL’s. 4th Lastly the Wolfpack kingdom deserves to have its story told with their very own full size castle set. Details: Part count 1275 6 Minifigures (1x Sir Rosefinch knight, 2x Wolfpack guards, 1x Lady Astrid, 1x Squire Hans, 1x Ghost) 5 Animals (1x dog, 1x horse, 1x goat, 2x seagulls) 4 Rooms (1x bedroom, 1x armory, 1x kitchen, 1x secret vault) 1 Tree minifigure scale Building was built using Stud.io Minifigures were built using Mecabricks Thank you: Thanks for your support and comments. If you would like to see the Rosefinch Keep become a LEGO set please share with friends and family. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98293548-02a7-4898-b333-db3d17f8271e
  20. Welcome to Rosefinch Keep the northern stronghold of the Wolfpack kingdom. *Edit changed the name from Wolfpack Keep, to Rosefinch Keep after the knight of the keep, to avoid confusion with another moc. Part count 1275 6 Minifigures (1x Sir Rosefinch knight, 2x Wolfpack guards, 1x Lady Astrid, 1x Squire, 1x Ghost) 5 Animals (1x dog, 1x horse, 1x goat, 2x seagulls) 4 Rooms (1x bedroom, 1x armory, 1x kitchen, 1x secret vault) 1 Tree minifigure scale Building was built using Stud.io Minifigures were built using Mecabricks
  21. looks great
  22. Hi, hopefully this is the right section! This Moc is a 3 vs 3 fight titled "Battle of boundary stream" that I built digitally using mecabricks, to test out the rendering capabilities. Trouble is brewing on the frontier and border clashes are growing in frequency. The northern wolfpack kingdom has taken to raiding the border towns in the black falcon kingdom, in retribution for falcon settlers poaching wild game, diverting water, and cutting down forest on the wrong side of the border. Knights of the yellow and black order have been dispatched to guard the border. On this fateful day at the stream that marks the boundary of the two kingdoms, 3 warriors from each side clash in heated combat. Who do you think would win the Wolfpack or the Black Falcons?

  23. The building is beautiful. What programs did you use to build it and render it?
  24. Hi all, (hopefully this is the right section) This year has cancelled allot of Lego events due to covid-19 restrictions. Fortunately for my local Lug MILUG (Mid Island Lego Users Group) the Vancouver Island Exhibition decided to go virtual this year. We all created mini mocs of things normally found at the fair and took pictures to create a slideshow. The slideshow features everybody's favorite character Emmet trying everything the VIEX offers.
