I agree. At the same time it makes It easy to take a look at my minifigs from time to time. I forgot to mention that I also have these display cases spread around in my Lego room, together with Mocs and other models. Whenever I change the sets that are on display, I also display the corresponding minifigs.

I have limited space for displaying my minifigs, but I came up with the idea of making labels for all my display cases. This makes it much easier to find my figs whenever I want to. Only the valuable ones are presented this way, the rest of the figs are stored elsewhere. I have made labels for almost every Lego Theme, so I´m ready for new arrivals :-)

Wow, this is amazing!! It really makes my day to see that you have built this :-) Thank you som much for sharing!

This turned out great :-) You have done a magnificent job!!

No problem, i can share it with you.

Actually no, but im ordering pieces on bricklink these days. So hopefully soon, it will be finished. Havent forgotten about it, just been busy.

Alive and kicking :-)

Thanks for your feedback. In Norway we have waited long for this helicopter to arrive, and in the mean time many of us have been checking out the danish versions on youtube :-) Me too, actually :-) Thanks for your comment. I tried to get rid of the front studs, but couldn't find different parts and at the same time maintain the angles I wanted.

Hi. I haven´t made any instructions. The model is put together digitally in stud.io. But i am going to build it for real, and maybe I will make instructions when I'm building. Thanks for your kind words. It would be nice if Lego releases an 18+ helicopter. I appreciate your comments about studs. I think i will keep the visible studs in my model. After all, its Lego :-)

Thanks, Peppermint. I guess I will have to try out different solutions to figure out what is best. Thats the good thing about lego. Nothing is really wrong, just a matter of taste. Thats part of why I love lego. That's good to hear. The medical crew in this helicopters are experts on plastic surgery :-)

Thanks for your suggestions, that might work nicely. I will try to use some arrows, or maybe some customs stickers. The colors are inspired by the actual helicopter.

Thanks for your comment. Glad you liked it. I agree, the studs along the side should be covered up. They belong to bracket-pieces that was needed to offset pieces. It is A LOT of offsetting is this model, and that made it alle the more difficult to build. At lesst for a novice like myself. I tried different tiles, but it looked weird.. Maybe i will try a different approach. Thanks again.

Here it is

Hi fellow builders My third MOC here on Eurobricks is a minifig scaled model of the brand new SAR helicopter in Norway. The Leonardo AW 101 is a magnificent machine! I start off with some important information. I built this MOC based on a model i found on Lego Ideas. The creator SimonSchepp published six pictures of his grey army version of this helicopter, and I used these with the intention of making a similar model. The result is a helicopter that looks similar, but is probably built very differently. With only six pictures available It was really difficult to figure out how to build this thing. But I think it turnes out nice, and I learned a lot along the way. Hope you like it. Minifigs deserve only the best, and the AW 101 is state of the art. You can hoist the patients in to the helicopter. The crew has lots of medical equipment available for treating patients. The helicopter flies fast and safe in all kinds of weather conditions. Fully decorated cabin, similar to the layout in the real helicopter. Size does matter, and this thing is big. Fully decorated cockpit, with collective and cyclic. I know there should to room for 2 pilots. But to maintain playability, I could only fit in one seat. The godfather of helicopters, Igor Sikorsky, deserves som credit. Any comment or questions is much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Keep building :-)

Thank you neonic and Peppermint_M. I am in the final stages of making pictures of my MOC. Hopefully I will publish my MOC during this weekend

I recently discovered a few pictures of a great MOC over at the Lego Ideas. Unfortunately the MOC has not gathered much support, and will probably never reach review stage. Based on the 6 pictures that was published, I managed to make a decent version of the model. Now i have I tweaked and changed it, and I am very happy with my result. Since I only had a few pictures to work with, my model is probably built quite different than the original model, but they look similar. The question for you guys: Is it ok for me to publish my version of this MOC here on Euorobricks, as long as I make it very clear that it is inspired by another MOC? I will of course include a link to the Lego Ideas page where I found the original model. I have to tried to find a way to get in contact the original constructor, made my search came out empty. I don't want to do something that will get med banned from the great Eurobricks. Thanks for any answers and comments. Regards, Chrismo

Thanks! You are not alone :-)

Thanks for your comment. Fire engines look different around the world, but in Norway (where I live) they are actually a bit boxy :-) Thanks! I would have preferred a Scania sticker, but I didn’t have any. Tanks :-) That was actually what I tried to achieve.

WOW!!! Thanks! This is great news, makes me really happy :-)

Thanks a lot :-) I have recreated the MOC digitally, and I will look into how I can make instructions. Its new territory for me, but I´ll explore it. I tried to submit the MOC to Lego Ideas, but it was rejected. They said it didn't meet their quality standards. So don't expect to much :-)

Thanks a lot :-) Thanks! I'm really looking forward to see your japanese fire truck. Thank you, I am happy to hear that :-) Thanks :-) After I posted the first pictures, I updated the interior. Check out the latest picture at the bottom of my original post.

Thank you for your feedback. Perhaps I´ll inspire more people to make vehicles for our beloved minifigs.

Yesterday I posted pictures of my Fire Engine MOC in the Town theme/forum. That may have been a mistake, because this category seems to be mostly about buildings and modulars. I am still not sure where this MOC belongs, but perhaps some of you experienced members can help me? Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much. If I can bring out nice childhood memories, I think I've achieved my goal with this MOC :-)

Hey all I´m exited to introduce my second MOC here on Eurobricks. I am a true rookie when it comes to building with system bricks, as I've spent more time doing Technic stuff. I tried to make this MOC more realistic than the fire engines that Lego usually releases, and I´ve drawn inspiration from real Scania fire vehicles. Because i wanted to make this thing closer the real thing, I've spent some time at the local fire station, getting to know the real machines. I’m very grateful for comments, questions and suggestions for improvements. Hope you like it, and thanks for taking the time to watch the pictures. Features All doors and hatches can be opened/closed Fully decorated and detailed interior in the cabin Lots of different details that relates to the real deal. Room for 4 minifigs with accessories. 558 parts (without the minifigs) I am very grateful for your support over at Lego Ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/content/project/link/b991a9d2-2265-4ed9-afda-91b9cf0d7f28 Pictures (Bigger pictures in my Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131504322@N02/albums) The truck is 8 studs wide, 11 studs high and 17 studs long. This MOC is actually fun to play with. Loaded with equipment, a water cannon and 4 minifigs the possibilities are many. All doors can be opened. The left side is for technical evacuation and rescuing of trapped persons. Here you'll find the hydraulic tools, power tools and life vests. It thinks firefighters deserve appreciation. The salary is low, but still they risk their lives for everybody else. In the back of the truck you find pump controls and connection point for water hoses. The right side of the truck contains tools for firefighting. Different nozzles, hoses and the Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) If I had a Scania sticker, I would have used it. For now this is proud product of Autoparts. On the roof, you@ll find the water cannon, ladders, hoses, tools and of course the obligatory fire axe. Detalied interior with communication equipment, GPS, IR-camera, flashlights and binoculars. The setup matches real fire engines. "Firefighting is all about megablocks. Busting ours to save yours" Updated picture of the cabin interior. (Rendered in Bricklink Studio) Another color scheme, since yellow seems to be the new white in modern fire engines. (Rendered i Bricklink Studio) Thanks for watching :-)
