Hey there guys! A follow up to my previous post, Iron Builder Week 1, here are all the builds from the second week of the contest :) Unfortunately I've been away plenty this week so the build count is significantly lower (next week is also rather busy but I'll see what I can do!) 10 days of competition left! Enjoy! David (Mods - If this doesn't belong here feel free to move it to a more appropriate subforum)

Hey guys! I'm currently in an Iron Builder against Jimmy Fortel, the seed part is the musketeer sword. Here are my creations from week 1 (just started the second week), hope you enjoy! check out my facebook page for more constant updates on what I'm building Cheers David

Smaug the terrible has been woken by those pesky H̶a̶l̶f̶w̶i̶t̶s̶ Halflings, and has decided to drown the city of lake-town in an epic ball of fire. Talk about a grumpy wake up! I would suggest anger management. My first entry for CCC small misc, there may be a much larger version of this in a year or two... maybe, this was a bit of an experiment. enjoy!

It's a known fact that speeders go faster when you can time travel! for the Pimp Reys Speeder contest, taking reys speeder from the upcoming star wars movie, and giving it some DMC magic. who doesn't love back to the future? Enjoy! David www.facebook.com/davidhenselLego

A mystical magician approaching the solitary spire he calls home, to study the stars, read his books, and do magic stuff! Greatly inspired by the fabulous artworks of Péah. Normally I try build original completely compositions, but when I saw his work I just had to build it, it's so beautiful, and I'd love to build more of it! peahart.tumblr.com/ This is my main exhibit for the upcoming Auckland Brick show this weekend and Brickcon-NZ the following weekend, been tinkering with it for several months now, it was worth doing well I think :) unfortunately some bricks cough*lugbulk*cough haven't yet arrived which I would have loved to use, but you can't have everything can you? was a very fun build with some cool techniques and (what I think) is an awesome colourscheme, the ground is flesh and those accents are light and warm yellowish orange, I think? I finally found a use for all that medium azure i accidentally bought last year! :D Enjoy everyone! David www.facebook.com/davidhenselLego

In a world that had undergone nuclear fallout, everything needed to look 70% cooler so people liked it enough that they value it so much that it would never happen again. too much to lose for the materialistic minds of the future... The future sucks, but they do have cool spaceships! My build for Ma.ktober, after Simon guilt tripped me into building it by sending me a Ma.ktober brick early >.> inspiration from Calin, Ryan and Google, plus i stole Maelvins stand concept cause it's neat ;) More of the same images on my facebook page!: www.facebook.com/davidhenselLego Enjoy! David

Thanks Isaac! yeah well the way I see it, use what techniques are most effective. sometimes that might be crazy angled rocks and bionicle trees, sometimes it might just be plate-work without a single bit of snot, it's all a matter of what you're building. And yeah I thought that'd be a pretty neat thing to do, my next build won't be revealed till october earliest, waiting on parts and I need to catch up on school that i missed during the 4 months I was sick, but it'll be another magicians tower, located in kaliphlin. lots of awesome colors in that.

Thanks everyone for your compliments and criticsms, much appreciated! this thing made the journey (mostly) to christchurch and will be shown at another show at the begining of november before I destroy it, incase any of you are visiting NZ in that time. I won the 'model most likely to have you singing "let it go" award' with this

Well done, you've managed to keep the model playable, low parts count, basic techniques, AND make it look nice, something even Lego doesn't achieve 100% of the time, would make a great set, in fact it had me fooled when all I saw was the image

Yeah I'm still a castle nut guys, I'm not completely lost to space ;) The Mystic Isles of Avalonia house many diverse persons, creatures and landscapes. Wonderful Wallace, Brother of Senneck and Harry the Hallucinating Healer, is one of them. He lives in solitude in the middle of a small cluster of islands in the center of the isles. Unlike his elder and younger siblings, Wallace has deviated from potions and other magic, and found his love in astronomy. He spends his days charting the skies, bartering with the local fishermen, and smoking pipe-weed. Also like his brothers, he has an incredibly awesome beard, which he takes great pride in. potentially more pride than what he has in his astronomical discoveries. Hey guys! Here is my main exhibit for the Christchurch brick show this weekend! it's been an interesting build, my original plan had been different, but then lugbulk didn't show up as early as i'd hoped so it changed :p the roof was a bit of a pain, but i'm pretty happy with the result. I had planned for a different colourscheme on the ground, but this worked too, when bulk arrives I guess I'll just have to build another moc with that scheme ;) Now all I need is for it not to be completely obliterated on the way down to Christchurch! Come see it in the weekend! hope you all enjoy! This build would not have been possible without the support from the coolest canadiasian in the world. you know who you are, and everyone who knows him should know too. Thanks so much Mr Liu. David

thanks guys! Hehe, the interiors stuffed with power functions...

EVERYTHING IS MOONBASE. Here's part of my main contribution to the upcoming Moonbase 42 Collaborative, more photos shall come later, of both my bit and of the entire layout. ALSO I found out the meaning behind 42! has absolutely nothing to do with hitchhikers guide to el galaxy and the meaning of life at all, New Zealand just happens to sit on longitude 42 :p Much cooler in person, has lights and power things! Come see it at CBS next weekend! enjoy! David

In 2043 when Merriam Enterprises became the largest stakeholder of Bugatti, They pushed for a revolution in personal transportation, taking the concept of Toyota's now widely available hover-cars, and pushing it further, adding the class, speed and luxury Bugatti is well known for, and letting man reach for the stars. Starting at $4,000,003.22 Hey all! Random unplanned upload! Just a quick (I spent more time 'shopping it than building it) spacey build I made this morning with some bits I got from some greatly discounted chima (70% off!) and my favorite Canadiasian I got recently :) It was a fun build actually, using a different pallet of parts to what I would normally gravitate towards, which I think turned out pretty nice. Yes there's a nice big Carl Merriam logo on the back ;D (Thanks Nick!) Come see it in 2 weeks at the Christchurch Brick Show 2015! Enjoy! David

Piercing the silence with the deep sharp whir of exhaust outlets with poor silencers, A 'big boned' bearded pilot tears through the baron landscape of the dead-lands, disturbing greatly the dust beneath him. Where is he going? What is his purpose? Great questions, all I know is that his spaceship looks kinda cool and I want one. Hey guys! this is my favorite build i'm taking down to CBS this year. I spent a decent amount of time tweaking it (unlike most of my mocs where i start them one day and have them done within a week) I think I started this in February with a completely different design in mind, and it just evolved every couple of weeks when i came back to it, went through about 3 different pairs of wings, a few thruster designs... initially it was olive and bright green, to put things in perspective. I'm very happy with the result, since I still consider myself to be mainly a castle builder. Thanks to the guys who gave me valuable imput, your feedback is much appreciated :) Come see it in 2 and a half weeks at the Christchurch Brick Show! I've saved the biggest 2 show mocs for the next 2 weeks, space and castle, stay tuned! enjoy! David

Thanks guys! Redimus: Bingo

Flying to Moonbase 42! Huge thanks to Jim for the canopy, I'm loving it! Always loved NCS, so finally being able to build a fighter in the theme is great :) Unfortunately this one isn't gonna be at brickworld like all the other NCS builds popping at the moment are ;P When I'd just about finished it I realized it looks very Peter Reid, which wasn't intentional but i guess whenever i think of NCS and the classic space style ships I have his builds floating around in my mind, so thanks for being great Peter! Come see it at CBS'15! Next weeks build is (in my opinion) the bestest sci-fi thing I've ever built so stay tuned! Enjoy! David Pew Pew Pwe!

Thanks guys :)

Maester Harry is an interesting chap, to say the least. Like his eldest brother Senneck, he lives in a tree, though his residence is considered a lot more humble. He has lots of healing potions, hallucinogenic substances, and 3 pet hedgehogs that practise voodoo and make strange potions from frogs. Blimmin' tree hugging avalonians... Yeah I know, I've got a thing for tree hutts :3 Special thanks to Brickthing who provided Rancor, and Eldeeem who provided the chimney bits, which I believe are non production in that shade of silver? I dunno :p Part of my contribution to a small collab at the upcoming christchurch brick show with my mates Ylia Trotter and (I think?) Chris Yee! Just a teaser, I'll post pics of the entire thing in 5 weeks after the show :) really wanted to make a wizard hat roof after seeing Luke pull one off, and this thing gave me the perfect oppertunity to do so, so this is my take :) Come see this and many other cool things at this years Christchurch Brick Show! still more to come, yes there is more castle... bigger castle... better castle *cue suspense* Enjoy! David

thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

If you can't see the image (it appears a few people are having issues) its here on my flickr. A study in mosaic making, SNOT, minifigure proportion, and endurance. And lots of tan cheese. based on this drawing i did when I was 12 which is based of a drawing by the dude who inspired my screen name ;) I need to get a legonardo brick in dark tan for this... Started this thing back in July 2013, which would make it my slowest build i guess... though it was scrapped for parts and put on hold because i ran outta tan (originally bley) too many times to keep track of over those 2 years, but whatever it's done now :p my first build that I don't plan to destroy! EVER o.O makes a pretty cool display item :) Come see it in person at the upcoming Christchurch Brick Show! Another 3(+) spacey builds and 2 castle mocs still to come before then! Enjoy! David -I know it's not strictly speaking a historical moc, but it's based on something kind of historical?
