Unfortunately, tests one and two were inconclusive. Due to the number of test subjects that ended in an unfortunate accident with a mashy spike plate and some malfunctioning turrets, another round of testing is required to fully reach a conclusion! The lab boys have spent a lot of time making sure that this test won’t remove any important extremities that you’ll need for future tests. Because we don’t want to lose important time re-attaching those pesky limbs! As one of the original members of the Thinking With Portals project, I’m very pleased to announce a new Portal 2 project featuring a fully updated, and much more advanced model of everybody’s favorite robot antagonist! With the news that LEGO will be adding Chell to the playable character line-up of their LEGO Dimensions game, could there possibly be a better time to try to bring GlaDos back to life? The original Thinking With Portals project went completely viral, and after being featured on many popular blogs like i09, PCgamer, and Kotaku, it garnered 10,000 supporters in two weeks. Ultimately, the project failed the review phase. The upcoming launch of the Dimensions sets brings with it a new mold for the Portal gun, a piece that's key to the success of any Portal LEGO set. With that most important piece being added to LEGO's official parts line-up, I feel that this project will be much more likely to pass the review phase! Seeing as the GlaDos playset was my baby on the original project, I’ve wanted to create a standalone project for her ever since the original idea was rejected. The only part of this model that’s stayed the same as the original is the head. Everything else has been built from the ground up, and has been restructured to be as playable as possible. Now you can recreate iconic scenes from the game without fear of breaking GlaDos into a million pieces, and throwing them in a fire. You monster. The set includes GlaDos and stand, three turrets (two operational, one defective), toilet chamber, Wheatley, and exclusive Chell mini figure! Spread the word, and let's pass this test with flying colors! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/105176

Tavasho, The Walking City. by Lego Junkie., on Flickr Heavily based off of the many ideas and concepts of cities built on top of large mechanical creatures/trains/propellors. This one has quite a bit of Laputa in it, what with the overgrowth of greenery, and the clusters of tan buildings. My first, and hopefully not my last entry into Marchikoma!

Seeing as my first MOCs on Mocpages/Flickr were construction vehicles, I figured it was time to go back to my roots and try a build in that style again. And because I also had a lot of inspiration from the 2009-2010 zombie apocafest collaboration that TBB did, here's a zombie-fied version.

Because firetrucks in space are a thing, right? Built during the Build Like a Boss Ma.K livestream last night.

With the surface of the world covered in rampantly corrupt and impoverished layers of microcities, the average person has a residential living/workspace housed in a cube approximately 16 feet wide, 16 feet deep, and 16 feet tall. Within the tight confines of these cubes, all types of unethical businesses have sprung up. The thriving black-market trade in electronic goods and other darker matters has severely subdued the amount of legitimate businesses in the high rise cube towers, and few remain open for long before joining the elicit trade. One of the last of the well meaning businesses is Percival's Electrocanics, a shop dedicated to serving the working class with high quality electronics for any project that may arise.

Slammborghini Gallardo by Lego Junkie., on Flickr I started out with a really serious build, regular stance, nothing too out of the ordinary. But after finding out that I didn't have four tyres that'd fit this scale, I had to make do with what I had. It rapidly went down hill from there. Nothing says illogical like a slammed car with a spoiler/roof-rack combo. Slammborghini Gallardo by Lego Junkie., on Flickr As is usual with my cars, I built this model with a removable body shell.

Enjoy the latest in fine art at Burnell's Art Gallery! See works from up and coming artists in the art world, such as Billy Bricking, Sandra Clutch, and many more! Sculptures currently housed at the gallery include the following, All Yellow stoplight, Tyrepyre, and Hat in a box! Call in advance for large groups and private parties. Burnell's Art Gallery, 10232 Alt Build. by Lego Junkie., on Flickr This was built for a contest over on ReBrick using only parts from 10232 Palace Cinema. Swing over to ReBrick and give it a like if you feel up to it! It'd mean a lot! http://rebrick.lego....t-build-/iqkg0i

That's the one thing I just couldn't build. I don't have any 1x2 curved slopes, or 4x4 radar dishes to play a stud. So creative license took over on this, and I went without the stud.

Yep! It's all Lego. The eyes are a white 6x6 dish, then a Dk. Red 4x4 dish, then a black 2x2 boat plate, all layered to the result you see here. Melan-E's Unikitty is actually the reason I built this one. I was totally jealous and wanted one for my shelf. I agree on the teeth statement, the more I look at the picture, the more they bug me. But ah well, it's workable. Thanks all! Glad you guys are enjoying it!

After seeing the multitudes of large scale Uni-kitty's at the advanced premieres of The Lego Movie, the lack of Angry Kitty was a bit disappointing to me. So, that problem is now rectified, and I have a large Angry Kitty on my shelf. Angry Uni-kitty. by Lego Junkie., on Flickr

Being a complete Disney nut, and a huge fan of the film WALL-E, I just had to build some characters of the film after seeing Legohaulic's version of EVE and WALL-E. Starting off with WALL-E himself, and his many adorable personality quirks.

Microbe Obliterator; M-O by Lego Junkie., on Flickr Instructions to build this little guy can be found here. http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/ And finally, a group shot with some of the more boring characters, such as GO-4, and VAQ-M.

Presenting my newest Model Team Motors project, the Bifta dune-buggy from GTA V's Beach Bum DLC pack. I was browsing Firas Abu Jabar's photostream a couple weeks back, and his models were a huge inspiration on this one. Features on this model include. Working front and rear suspension. Removable body shell. All four wheels roll freely. GTA V: Bifta by Lego Junkie., on Flickr GTA V: Bifta by Lego Junkie., on Flickr GTA V: Bifta by Lego Junkie., on Flickr

While looking for a good anime character to recreate in my signature Minidoll style, I stumbled across HOTD, or, High-school Of The Dead. While I don't watch anime at all, the artstyle translates very easily into the brick, and this character was just begging to be built. So, two days later, I've got one cutesy schoolgirl with a sword standing on my shelf.

Hoping that It's alright to enter both the FBTB version of this contest, and this one with the same entry! Hold onto your hats, here's a VW-wing Starfighter! VW-wing Starfighter. by Lego Junkie., on Flickr VW-wing Starfighter. by Lego Junkie., on Flickr

I'm blown away by the incredible feedback from you guys on this! I really wasn't expecting so many people to have read the book, let alone have so many good memories about it! Really glad it awoke some fond memories from so many different lives!

I've got many fond memories of children's books I read when I was younger, and none so much as Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel. While it's a pretty depressing book, it's still one of my favorites. So I figured I'd take a stab at building Mary Anne the steam shovel from the book!

Dovekeep Lighthouse by Lego Junkie., on Flickr Perched on a slowly crumbling pillar of rock, the Dovekeep Lighthouse has guided many a traveler away from the sharp edge of the Death's Scythe headlands. Once a hideout for bandits and smugglers, Dovekeep Lighthouse is slowly fading back into nature, the sea claiming these last bits of land for it's own purposes. Dovekeep Lighthouse by Lego Junkie., on Flickr In my ever increasing search for a favorite theme, I decided to try my hand at castle. So after two days, I have a dilapidated castle-ish lighthouse. Not exactly what I was going for, but it's a start. Inspired by Mark and Steven, and their fantastic castle masterpieces.

This was a fun little build last night for a friend who's a brilliant writer.

So this'll probably be my last post of District 9 stuff, since I'm sure you guys are getting tired of it! Welcome to District 9. by Lego Junkie., on Flickr It's the sweetie man! So after people said I needed to combine my two D9 builds in a diorama, I realized I haven't built a diorama in quite a long time. So consider this killing to birds with one stone!
