    Awesome creation, I'm a fan of the LEGO Greek theme and you just nailed it. Besides the temple I think the boat is really good, it looks just as in all the ancient frescos.

    Hey fellow Legoheads! This is my first attempt at a vignette. Kind of. I actually just wanted to make a fitting ''Stand'' for my female hoplite minifig so it does not get dropped / lost, but it ended up as a little more so I wanted to share it with you, hoping you like it a bit. I only had a very limited supply of bricks since it was not a planned creation.

    This is excellent, especially when considering its small size. The church shows some nice architecture and the colorful autumn foliage mixed with the white of the snow is a beautiful touch.

    Thanks! Thank you! Some compromises were necessary to include the working steering but I'm still happy with how the front suspension turned out.

    Wow, I love this one, Ice Planet and Spyrius were my favorite themes back when I was a young kid just getting started with LEGO. The second you see it you realize its an updated version of the classic scout spacecraft, but bigger and better. Creations like this always make me so nostalgic, I wish LEGO would bring back some of the old themes. Rock Raiders, Spyrius, Ice Planet, Blacktron etc.

    Hello fellow Legoheads! Here is my most recent creation, a medium-scale Ferrari Formula 1 car in the style of the 1990's era. 450 parts, original LEGO stickers, steering, and all the proper aerodynamic features of that time - namely big wings, bigger wing end plates and a blown diffuser for -literally - tons of down force. If you like it or if you have an ideas for improvements please let me know via a comment. Thank you!

    Made one important improvement on my model, now it does have a better front wing - now due to its shape it acts like a front diffuser, increasing air pressure on the top while at the same time decreasing air pressure at the bottom through accelerating it under the wing. Just like on the real cars!

    Hey! Here I am with another little F1 car, this time from the 1985-1990 period. Its made of 450 parts, it does have steering and its aerodynamics are realistic. It was a lot of fun to build with all the SNOT. I hope you like it!

    Thanks for the kind words - For just 99,95$ you can get instructions for this model - Place your order in the next 15 minutes and receive a bonus surprise 20 brick custom LEGO set! (Shipping not included) ........just kidding. I have to agree, the mid 80's and early 90's were amazing because of the extreme power those cars had, some reached in excess of 1400hp! I've always wanted to make an F1 car of that era so this is very likely going to be my next little project. Thank you! I've had so many requests for the Tyrrel 6-wheeler that I'm starting to like the idea. I'm not entirely sure though if LEGO makes the right size tires for the front tires in this scale, thats something I have to check.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    OUCH! I just burned my fingers from touching my screen because this thing is HOT. The tires look so good on this model I can forgive it that they aren't from LEGO and kudos to you for giving the model a proper windscreen and side windows. Very beautiful.
  12. GiantAmbushBeetle
    A very beautiful and huge model - thats one heck of a lot of 1x2 profile bricks! Though I cannot tell how you attached those gray tiles to the two windows on each side?
  13. GiantAmbushBeetle
    Really cool modifications, looks very good.

    Hey Littleworlds, thanks for the compliment! That pretty much sums up why the 70's and 80's was my favorite era for racing (I was not even born back then but looking back it definitely is), just raw power and speed, screw the rest - thats the purest form of racing spirit and the cars and the drivers perfectly reflected that.

    Greetings Legoheads! May I present to you, a small MOC of mine, its a medium scale 1973 Era Formula 1 car, approx. 500 parts. I think there is not much else to say, I hope you enjoy my little creation!
  16. GiantAmbushBeetle
    Thanks, glad you like it!

    Thanks guys!

    Hey LEGO people! May I present to you, my model of an open top vintage endurance race car from the mid to late 70's. This is a heavily modified and improved version of a model I posted many, many moons ago. Those cars participated in the 24 and 12 hour events and were famous for their low drag bodies, blistering top speeds of up to 380 km/h / 235 mp/h and extremely lightweight constructions. I hope you like it!

    This is very impressive and well made! Besides the gorgeous planes I love all the little details, like the little 8.8cm cannon and the aircraft search light.
  20. GiantAmbushBeetle
    This is an excellent creation, I especially like the castle walls, very nice colors and details.
  21. GiantAmbushBeetle
    This is nice, I especially like the tail.
  22. GiantAmbushBeetle
    Thanks, I'm glad you guys like it!
  23. GiantAmbushBeetle
    Haha this is great, LEGO Fashion! Time to build me a LEGO chain mail for those medieval festivals!
  24. GiantAmbushBeetle
    There is a saying: sometimes less is more. Definitely true in this case, merging together the elements looks way cool. The Buddha statue face is great too!

    Thank you!
