Karlsson-on-the-Roof is a character in a series of children's books created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Karlsson-on-the-Roof by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr "Karlsson is a very short, very portly and overconfident man who lives in a small house hidden behind a chimney on the roof of a very ordinary apartment building, on a very ordinary street in Stockholm. When Karlsson pushes a button on his stomach, it starts a clever little motor with a propeller on his back allowing him to fly. Karlsson is the best at everything, at least according to himself. But there is, in fact, one thing at which he excels: being a playmate to a young boy named Svante, but nicknamed Lillebror (little brother), who lives in the apartment building with his family." Karlsson-on-the-Roof by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr One may ask why LEGO presents in the topic title? Let's turn to Karlsson-on-the-Roof translated by Marianne Turner. But it was found out that Karlsson is not so good at building MOCs.

Cloak always gives extra points!

From the first look I decided that she is smoking! Nice build

I like that you mentioned Gru, because there are plenty minions built from lego. One can find easily different techniques of building yellow funny people. But for me it was interesting to make large scale Gru!

Zblj, KCMatze, KlodsBrik, Captain Green Hair, sunhuntin, peedeejay, Forresto, thanks for the kind comments! As for submitting this MOC for LEGO IDEAS, I am taking a sober view of things - LEGO would not accept large scale characters as a set. In case they would like to take Despicable me franchise they will make something like Angry Birds series. And Gru and minions will be in minifigure scale.

Very cute! Three Little Pigs has no idea what dramatic events happen soon!

Yeah! There are 8 ball joints in this design. It is one of the best LEGO parts.

You know, that old planets are entirely overgrown with moss, mold and teeming with parasites. If you need to clean such planet for mining operations, for building power plant or a new casino you can use the services of one of the cleaning companies. Rich customers usually order supernova explosion nearby which guarantees a deep degree of sterilization and warranty for 1 million years. Cheaper option is bombing and spraying in the atmosphere inhibitors. However, after that the planet need to be "ventilated" a couple of hundred years. And in no circumstances you should not turn to small agencies and charlatans who are ready for a small fee to conduct a complete "contact clean". Typically in these words lies the landing of a small group of employees often with a lack of expertise and spraying inhibitors by hand. The consequences of such "clean" could not be predicted by any expert and, of course, neither guarantees may be considered. Cutie on Duty (Dirty Work) by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr Micha and Batou are working in one of these companies. It couldn't be said that this was the limit of their desires. Micha has graduated astronavigator school and could be the second pilot of the middle sized spaceship, but in a world with the number of vibrotentacles segregation you have to be be satisfied with a little. Batou says that in his family there were seers during several generations and he will become seer too, when he wants, but he is quite happy with that for now. Cutie on Duty (Dirty Work) by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr Micha has a dream. She wants to build some money to buy a small spaceship and to go to the outskirts of the galaxy. There is rumor that global corporations have not reached there with their orders yet. One day she has shared her thoughts with Batou and offered to fly with him. Batou said that if on the outskirts of the galaxy are being fed, he does not mind, but he is not going to save money as his salary is barely enough to feed himself. Cutie on Duty (Dirty Work) by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr Cutie on Duty (Dirty Work) by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr This time they have got a small planet with moderate pollution. Unfortunately they have to work overtime and virtually free. The order entered at the last minute from some client with whom the chief makes shady dealings. But the work is almost done - the last barrel of inhibitor should be sprayed off and could be back for a reward. At such moments Batou says that he loves his dirty work and Micha agrees with him smiling.

At the 00:00 UTC was made an unprecedented sabotage. Eighty mini submarines simultaneously around the world cut transoceanic fiber-optic lines, at the same time ballistic missiles shoot down satellites. The Internet was destroyed. Internet Era came to an end . Millions of people in cities around the world left without the usual activities came out to the streets ... but instead of irritation, people suddenly displayed a general rejoicing. It turned out that the [/quote] is much better social networks, online games have given way to sports, and books and movies more interesting to read in the library and look at the movie theaters. Mankind has realized that the Internet is essentially slow down the process of its development, and it was decided not to rebuild the network.

Looks great! I am keen of all this.. eh. blocks! But to be more realistic you should think how to remove all these small gaps between the bricks!

Ha! It looks cool! Nice pile of gold and the pirate and his birdy are so emotional!

Nice puppy! I like how you used the rest of the parts for the bird and nest!

Nice bird! Is it a fish out there in the beak?

Meet Red Beard from the stone age! He is good with his huge cudgel, and no one can take his prey away. He is brutal but so charming!

The rays of the setting sun were staining thickets and dirt in crimson tones. Clouds of insects were swarming over the stinking mud. Bushes began to move and into the open area one after the other jumped out two small raptors. Both are not more than a meter in height, on strong legs, with long serpentine necks and powerful tails. Dinosaur that was bigger stood motionless, noisily drawing in the air. The pupils of his large yellow eyes were turning wide and narrow. The second began to shift from one foot to the other twitching his head, his tail furiously thrashed from side to side. It's been three days there was nothing to satisfy his hunger and growing interior dull pain became insufferable. Particular anger was caused by the fact that the leader easily took away a small animal hunted so hard this morning. Young reptile looked at the leader - he stood exposing his back to the last rays of the sun, eagerly absorbing their heat. For a moment the wave of rage overflowed the second dinosaur. He wanted to seize the leader's neck, bite it, and to tear the body by the claws to exhaustion, and then eat, eat, eat still warm flesh! With bowed head he moved against the old leader. Sharp eye and bared teeth cooled the beginning of the attack, the second freezed with outstretched neck and all the dissatisfactions were turned into hiss. Sunset by vir-a-cocha, on Flickr The leader stood still and only the quivering tip of the tail showed tension. He listened to the sounds from the bushes. This is somewhat of males and females with young - all pack - made their way through the bushes. The pack was emaciated. Recently there was not so much prey. Several marsupials caught the day before, took a lot of effort and did not have nutritional value. It was necessary to move forward and look for other places to hunt, and it means to jeopardize the pack. The leader looked at the reptile standing next to him - this young male wanted to take his place, and, sooner or later, he or the other of the pack will make it ... But today pack will get food! Old dinosaur had noticed the footprint left by a Tyrannosaurus in the mud. The giant was here just yesterday, a huge dent had not yet tightened, but only filled with water. A pack can go on the trail of a giant and soon come upon the remnants of his feast. The leader snapped with the teeth to ward off mosquitoes, arched the neck and made a hissing, then quickly went into the bushes. The second dinosaur followed him. There was the sound of the retreating footsteps, and after a minute the silence relapsed. The sun was setting. Notes of unknown paleontologist Sunset by vir-a-cocha, on Flickr

Thank you! I like to think lego as a clay. I belief that story will continue.

SVERDLOVSK '86 In 1986, the confrontation between the two superpowers reached its climax and turned into the third world war. Nuclear strike razed to the ground dozens of major cities on the continents turning them into a lifeless desert. Millions of tons of radioactive dust raised into the air by the powerful explosions that led to large-scale environmental disaster. The remnants of humanity were thrown back in the development for centuries, and leading a losing battle for survival. Spiral of evolution on Earth has completed its turn and start a new one ... One of the places where you can meet the survivors became Sverdlovsk. This city with a million people was once the main administrative, industrial and cultural center of the Urals. Perhaps being in the interior of the continent away from the object of the main attack saved it. SVERDLOVSK by vir-a-cocha, on Flickr A handful of survivors settled on the right bank of the dry river Iset in the former building of the circus. The unique design of the dome withstood the shock wave. A second preserved building is unfinished TV Tower maden from the heavy-duty concrete. It was not finished in time of peace, and construction stopped at around 219m. SVERDLOVSKby vir-a-cocha, on Flickr Now, it's just concrete structures buried under the dust . The right bank of the Iset River, between the streets of Kuybysheva, 8-go Marta and the Dekabristov, and all the buildings are made in the scale of 1:2000. (geotaged) SVERDLOVSK by vir-a-cocha, on Flickr Somewhere in another reality ... In 1986, a meeting of Gorbachev and Reagan in Reykjavik, which marked the beginning of a new foreign policy of the USSR. From this moment the relations between the countries have warmed. In Soviet Union Perestroika has began, then another serie of events occured during which the Soviet Union ceases to exist. Sverdlovsk in 1991, was renamed into Ekaterinburg. Circus, located on the corner of Kuibysheva Str and March 8 Str, continues to delight children and their parents. The famous TV tower was never completed. After 1989 began construction financing shortages, and it was frozen. In 90s the tower was a popular place for suicides, adventurers, climbers and BASE jumpers. After a series of resonant accidents access to it was closed. Video aerial view shows the beauty of the center of modern Ekaterinburg. youtu.be/PoWjtfDNAB0
