Thanks everyone for the kind comments! I' really happy with the creation, and it's fun to play as well!

The canopy is from the Solar explorer Life on Mars set. (I think) And thanks to everyone for all the replies.

There is. On the back (which looks pretty bad) is a folding door but as of yet there's no interior or anything.

Here's a picture of the real one: http://www.treehugger.com/green-stats-public-transportation.jpg

This is based off of the Max train in Portland Oregon. This is my first train ever so go easy on me! Comments and criticism welcomed. Puriri

So this is one of my first recognizably "space" creations. It's based off of a space ship I built as a kid. Comments and criticism welcomed. Puriri

I have no idea since I haven't seen that movie. Thanks to everyone else whose commented! I'm pleasantly surprised by how much of a response I got for this.

game the ancient egyptians played. Rules: You need: 2 players, 5 spools, 5 cones, and 4 counting sticks. The board is numbered (maps will be on bottom right.) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 The starting pieces go along 1-10 alternating, spool cone etc. Moving: Who ever rolls a one first goes first. You roll repeatedly (keep track of the numbers) until you get a 2 or 3 then move separate pieces. If you got a 1 then a 4 then a 3. You move a piece 1 square then 4 squares then 3 squares. You can jump over other pieces and if you land on another piece it gets sent back to where your piece started from on that move. Counting sticks: should have a decorated (yellow in this case)and plain side. (grey) 1 yellow side up - 1 2 yellow- 2 3 yellow -3 4 yellow -4 4 grey - 5 All pieces must land on square 26 (green map) with the exact roll to land on it. Then you need the exact roll to get off the edge of the board after that. If you land on square 27 or get taken on square 28 or 29 you go back to square 15. If you can't move at all you can go backwards. To win clear off all your pieces. And believe me this is a fun game to play. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind comments. Also I'm glad you liked the first image. I actually made it as a teaser for flickr but thought it would look good here.

I really don't like the S3 mummy. I mean green skin? wth. If you want a better "Pharaoh" mummy use the old adventurers one.

Thanks everyone! The tomb was kind of what started this off so I'm glad you all like it so much! @ Masked Builder: I'm not sure what you mean how big it is?

Johnny Thunder and the Adventurer team have discovered the long lost Temple of Set. The legend goes that Set, who had tricked and killed his brother Osiris, went to battle with the son of Osiris, Horus. Horus managed to defeat Set and now his remains are hidden in a long lost temple hidden from time till now. Here the remains of the god of evil were hidden eons ago. Now Johnny is braving the traps to discover the true secrets of this ancient temple! A column collapses and takes part of the roof with it. I guess the temple isn't so stable after all. When the damaged anubis head is moved the sword trap shoots out. Johnny thunder approaches the tomb. What will be inside? Will there be the remains of the god Set? And will this be Johnny's last adventure!? Hope you enjoy it! Comments or critique appreciated!

I have to say I found a lot of the comments on this thread very interesting. For my own two cents I color all of my "pink" colored minifigs yellow with a yellow sharpie. That way they fit in with the rest of the figs. I also use any other colored figs alongside other figs from time to time but I don't specify if they are a race or not. Really I think LEGO is primarily a toy where you should use your imagination and if you are deciding wether your imaginary world is too "white" or not then you are loosing out.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'm glad you all like it! And god news I just ordered the new Pharaoh's Quest Pyramid set so expect more egypt soon! P.S. If you don't know already PQ is available at SaH in the States now.

Thanks a lot guys! I had a lot of fun designing this with all of the playability. With the Pharaoh's Quest theme coming I wanted to make Johnny Thunder to look a bit older than his classic look so I gave him a make over. I have a whole new line of friends for him too which I hope to include in later MOCs!

Johnny Thunder and his guide have reached a strange tomb. As the Australian adventurer approaches the sealed entrance the slab of rock moves magically out of the way revealing a majestic treasure room with a ruby inside. Johnny walks inside only to have to jump out of the way of a swinging ax blade and a collapsing column! Someone didn't want the ruby stolen! He grabs the ruby and prepares to travel back to Cairo with the fantastic news! But as he walks back into the sun light he's ambushed by the evil Duke Nefarious and his eviler wife the Duchess Malevolent! They force Thunder to give them the ruby and drive away. Thunder is outraged but he's soon distracted! The Duke has left a stick of dynamite in the entrance to the tomb... Blam! The rock above the entrance collapses sealing the tomb forever! You can tell I'm excited for Pharaoh's Quest! Enjoy!

Yeah. The trick is forced perspective, which might be what you meant. The part of the staircase in the back right is longer and behind that of the front and left. and doesn't actually connect. It's kind of like an "L" shape with a short part on the left.

Yeah, I probably should have made it taller, but I didn't want to suffer the terrible "grey wall syndrome." And thanks guys for the feedback!

Based off of M.C. Escher's work of the same name. Here's the official Escher website: http://www.mcescher.com/ And of course I should give credit for the illusion to this: http://www.andrewlipson.com/escher/ascending.html Comments and criticism welcome.

Here's the second version of the Adder ship. This version now has a hatch on the back. And the main reason for the update, the interior. Plenty of room for a fig sitting in a chair. There's controls, cabin lights, cargo bay controls and room for cargo. Comments and criticism is welcomed and encouraged! Hopefully this will be cleaned up even more. Also I'm working on a space station so expect that in the distant future.

Good news! It now has a cockpit! Though t had to loose the landing gear it now has space for a fig, chair, crate, and a hatch! Pics will be here soon!

This sounds like an interesting contest! But does the model have to be built out of Bionicle and Hero Factory pieces? Or can you just build something out of normal bricks?

I'll have to see if I can find him! If I can't I'll try to rebuild him.

Thanks every one! I missed the last couple of replies. Whoops! And I will try to resize them, especially since my connection is also quiet slow!
