    Thanks for the nice words. I have a few more on the way.

    Hello. Quite some time ago I posted a MOC called Tiny Ocean Liner. Now I have completed another vessel that I call Tiny Cargo Ship.

    It was in our local LUG too but things came up. I would have suggested something like Café Erling (in Denmark we always put Café first) and The Yellow Castle, but now they can go on the MOC list instead :)

    The urge can sometimes blind us I had some parts I couldn't find no matter how hard I looked, so I ended up downloading the .lxf file from the Official LEGO Sets LDD thread here on Eurobricks that I knew contained the part. In Bricksmith (LDraw on Mac) I have a favorite parts list that makes things more convenient when building at a certain pace.

    We'll just have to suffer some more/live with the bigger challenge

    Thanks for the review. A wooden labyrinth was high on my MOC list 4-5 years ago as I figured how to make the holes and I wanted the challenge to do the tilting mechanics with Technic. Then I happened to make a google image search and realized someone else had done a version in (Reddish) Brown and I totally dropped the idea. I didn't vote for this on Ideas simply becasue I forget to go there regularly, but I definitely want to get this set. I'm a big fan of Jasons other really clever stuff and building it I excpect it will help me add some tricks to my non-technic MOCabilities

    Thanks again to this update, I was thrilled to find out that LEGO has finally released the Wedge, Plate 2 x 2 (both Left and Right). There are probably some owners of certain clone brands that are laughing and pointing fingers because they've had those pieces for years My assumption comes from glancing at some of their building instructions stumbled upon on the internet.

    This is really really REALLY COOL I finally get to try out the new 1 x 1 quadruple slopes

    You are very welcome. LW is a very effective AFOL recruiting event Rasmus Klump is called Rasmus Nalle in Swedish, Bruin in English and Petzi in German etc. (wiki). I used to work as a graphic designer at the company that managed the franchise before it was purchased by the Egmont Group.

    Thanks for sharing. I went there on saturday and got a good chance to see it all without taking a single picture (typical me). I'm doing the layout on our LUG magazine (Byggebladet) so I just came across some of the names behind the MOCs. As follows: The dragon is in fact Smaug from the Lord of the Rings. The artist is Sharon Vance from MichLUG (US). I recently did an interview with her for the our magazine, so that's how I know :) Her mosaic is 100% manually created (no software image conversion stuff). The Classic Space theme is by Søren Johansen from Byggepladen (DK) and someone else I don't recall. Gulliver´s Island by Palle & Tina Haulrich of Byggepladen (DK). The big Gulliver on the beach is a playmobil figure recreated in LEGO bricks (of course). At one point they had gotten the business card minifigs of both Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and Jørgen Vig Knudstorp (who both showed up at LW on friday) and they placed the minifigs prominently on top of the playmobile figure to the great amusement of Kjeld and Jørgen :) The Rasmus Klump-layout (Bruin/Petzi) is build by these people from Byggepladen (DK): Anne Mette Vestergaard, Lasse Vestergaard, Helgi Toftegaard, Henrik Kunz and Jakob Hestbæk.

    Thanks for the interrest and encouragement, guys. For quite some time I didn't think I'd ever expand it. No matter in what direction or how much, it would never be enough – people easily go: Why is that missing? Or that? Or that? At LEGO World 2014 there was quite a few spectators who had their appartment just outside the frame, and it made me think about what would be reasonable, if ... There is one simple reason for not building this style at all. It takes so many different tiny elements. And all those cheese slopes etc. are not cheap on bricklink. Last time I had some support and this time I am on my own so it really has to make sense if to be expanded. The goal is the structural recognition, and Kongens Nytorv is where all the tourists go, so you could say I drew the line a little too early on the original, but I had to be realistic with materials and build-time. Tourists go even further towards Frederiksstaden (Amalienborg, Marmorkirken) and past Kastellet to see the Little Mermaid but the latter is way too small to even depict in 1:1500. So the expansion makes sense as an extra 48 studs like this:

    Imagine how stupid it would be not to include the LEGO Store :D :D people asking: ... so where is the LEGO Store??? The store pictures were taken some time before launch, which is why the windows are covered.
  13. Ulrik Hansen
    Yes, that's exactly it :) in th MOC a yellow LEGO truck is loading goods from the side alley where they also have entrance to the store.
  14. Ulrik Hansen
    I have started work on expanding the model towards Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn.

    Welcome and good luck with that city project :)

    Condolences. We all have different ways of coping. It's good you found yours. During my dark age I always knew that those two big cardboard boxes in my parent's basement were filled with awesomeness. I had a notion of LEGO as the quality product it is and a sence of design. And it was Danish just like me and we grew up half an hour drive from Billund and the original Legoland. Sometimes I miss viewing it from outside the AFOL perspective cause I'm so engaged in it these days. Originally my older brother took the first steps finding Bricklink and becoming a member of the local LEGO User Group two years before I entered ... I remember both me, my parents and my other brother thought it was a fad that would pass. He kept explaining the vocabullary with great joy: AFOL, SNOT, Bar 4L, light bluish gray, clutch, MOCing. Slowly I realized he was on to something but it wasn't until I started being creative with it myself, finding my debut MOC subject and later getting a little press attention, that I realized how versatile it coud be and a valid side show to my other profession which is graphic design. So I quickly came out. It still surprises people though, and they immediately wanna see pictures, so there is nothing to be closeted about :D (sorry for the long essay)

    Hello Beard! Sound like you are one of the MOC guys :)
  18. Ulrik Hansen
    Nice. Is that Sand Red I see?
  19. Ulrik Hansen
    Thanks for the great work. It is highly appreciated :) :)
  20. Ulrik Hansen
    Here is the end result. I was thinking of putting it on LEGO Ideas, but it is more suited for the Bricklink MOC Shop :)
  21. Ulrik Hansen
    No sorry, my BL-order was returned to the shop owner in Poland because my mail guy didn't leave me a note that it had arrived at the post office. So it will be another week, but I do have a picture with the piece in the wrong color though. Here it is:

    Here's a clone of my model that I was commissioned to do last spring. I did some optimizations plus had to make a few compromises too. Try to spot the differences :)
  23. Ulrik Hansen
    Yeah it's quite small :D the stand would be more authentic in Reddish Brown (as wood) but did not match Red and Tan also felt wrong. I did btw consider a bottle around it, but some google searches on existing ones really discouraged me :)
  24. Ulrik Hansen
    Thanks :) I have some different ideas for getting it out there.
  25. Ulrik Hansen
    Thanks. I'm working on getting the building instructions done (LPub is annoying me again). They take up three pages – less couldn't do it. So much for tiny ;-)
