The world's ugliest sci-fi car in the Solar Car taken by Logan, Jessica and REM in the first episode, plus a Sandman's Groundcar vehicle and Francis in pursuit while our heroes try to find Sanctuary after escaping Carousel (mandatory death at age 30) in the City of Domes. The show ran for just one 14 episode long season in late 1978 / early 1979. Show intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey4dbQ218p8 My Linktree for more pop culture / sci-fi nostalgia LEGO builds.

My latest LEGO commission is an agricultural store / real estate / warehouse building, and farm display for New Zealand agricultural retail supplier PGG Wrightson, first showing is now at Fieldays at Mystery Creek, Waikato. Been working on this one most weekends since the start of the year. Some of the tractors are based on official sets. More at my flickr gallery.

Thanks for this contest! Are we allowed to use custom prints / stickers / cut official stickers?

This build pays tribute to 1990s Simpsons, and the Springfield Monorail in particular. The main Station breaks into 3 layers to allow access to the inside. Ground floor, 2nd floor with a mini Krusty Burger, and the roof level for press conferences and to house the control room. Across the tracks is the passenger platform where Marge and Sebastian discuss the predicament Homer and all the passengers are in. It's kept fairly minimal to mimic the animation style and to keep the part number relatively low for a build of this size. It was the only physical build submitted into the recent LEGO Ideas '1990s TV and Movies' large category. Has been submitted now into the general LEGO Ideas system. The monorail train itself is complete with opossum family (the big one's called 'Bitey' - photo on the Ideas submission). Minifigures are key characters from the episode, Homer Simpson (Monorail driver uniform), Lyle Lanley, Mayor Quimby, Chief Wiggum, Sebastian Cobb, Marge Simpson, and Bart Simpson. More at my flickr:

The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people, now you're gonna hear about it. Happy Festivus everyone! Flickr

An appropriate day to share this. Flickr

Hi all, I've been tweaking my Muppet Show Beaker MOC. New nose, new hair, new tie. Have also popped it on LEGO Ideas along with my other Muppet submissions (Mahna Mahna and Pigs in Space). Flickr

Thank you! It was kinda Tron meets Knight Rider. It only ran for 12 episodes, so very niche! Bit of a primer here for anyone else wanting some context.

Quick mod of Speed Champions set 76908 to turn it into 1980s TV Automan's LP400 Lamborghini. Couple of purist figs for Automan & Walter. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53944613997_d556aeef0d_c.jpg[/img Flickr

I love this (big Henson fan here too!). Have supported (and I'm sure I supported your original iteration too). Good luck at getting to the next milestone in the next 60 days!

Back in late 2022 I built the characters from the Muppet Show's Mahna Mahna sketch. I was never happy with the lead vocalist (also called Mahna Mahna), I've finally gotten around to starting him over from scratch. Much happier with he likeness now! And to celebrate, the whole lot are now up on LEGO Ideas. More on Flickr

An ongoing quest to build ever more obscure pop-culture LEGO robots from my childhood. Sam the Robot from seasons 4 - 10 of Sesame Street. Ref: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Sam_the_Robot Other recent nostalgic robots: The Black Hole's Vincent, Bob, & Maximilian | Robby the Robot & B9

This is stunning. I hope you win!

My final Retro Robot MOCs (for the time being, after recently finishing my Black Hole movie trio). Robby the Robot from the Forbidden Planet movie (1959), and B9 'The Robot' from the Lost in Space TV show (1965-1968). Both robots were designed by the same person, Robert Kinoshita, and Robby once appeared on Lost in Space where he fought B9, which is why the two are often mixed up. B9 is a new build, you can extend and retract his arms and wave them about from the back while you yell "Danger, Will Robinson!" Robby is the 4th iteration of him I've made over the last 5 years or so - each time using lots of the same parts, but mostly different torso builds (phots of these older versions included). I think this will be the final version, unless some new part comes out that is begging to be swapped out. and my older Robby iterations. more on my Flickr gallery

That's gorgeous! Love the size. Those technic panels add that lovely smooth curve too.

Yes! And BOB.

I made Maximilian from The Black Hole movie a month or two back, and got asked lots about making VINcent and BOB. So I obliged. And popped it up on LEGO Ideas for good measure. This LEGO Ideas set recreates the 3 iconic main robots from the 1979 cult favourite sci-fi movie The Black Hole. Included are plucky robot V.I.N.CENT (Vital Information Necessary CENTralised), a crew member of the USS Palomino research ship. B.O.B (Bio-sanitation Battalion) is a disheveled but loveable earlier model of the same robot lineage. He lives on board the USS Cygnus. Rounding out the trio is the antagonist robot, the terrifying Maximilian, built as a servant and bodyguard by Dr Hans Reinhardt aboard he Cygnus that sits at the edge of the Black Hole. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53830169477_bb2448ccfd_c.jpg[/img More on my Flickr gallery

As a break from long-build LEGO MOCs I wanted to start and finish one in a day. My usual subject is 1970-1980s pop culture nostalgia. So I whipped up this Maximilian robot from The Black Hole (1979) over 3-4 hours. The head cone doesn't come in dark red, so a bit of colour adjusting, plus a photoshopped print on that piece to finish it off. Positioned to hide the support, in case you're wondering how it's standing. Flickr gallery.

Miss Piggy, Captain Link Hogthrob and Dr Julius Strangepork, the Pigs in Space set, and a LEGO model of the USS Swinetrek. Plus a few assorted hangers-on. A MOC I've been working on (and off) for the last few months. Yes, a bit of spray paint over the Swinetrak, some blu-tak for the portholes, and photoshopped minifig prints. Might redo the USS Swinetrek one day as brick-built, as it'll let me attach the potholes properly. I could have made custom stickers for a slightly more purist build, but I prefer the shape of the 2x2 radars. flickr gallery

Thank you! Here's my latest one.
