    Put together this Muppet Show Beaker bust for a 16x16 build comp (now ended). Note: these photos have the arms posed wider than the 16x16 footprint limit, and a flame in his hair that would have taken it over the height limit. LEGO Beaker Muppet Bust MOC by jp-30, on Flickr

    Little MOC tribute to one of my childhood heroes, Tim Brooke-Taylor from The Goodies who has very sadly passed away due to COVID-19. [MOC] The Goodies by jp-30, on Flickr

    Thanks for all the kind words (and the front page mention), much appreciated. I have a few tweaks in mind, so when I get around to making any updates I'll add to this post.

    Been working on a MOC, Robby the Robot from "Forbidden Planet" (1956) and a host of other movies and TV shows. This design inspired the Lost In Space robot that it's often mistaken for, but Robby is much cooler. All purist other than some cut stickers. I want to get one of the adult Belville blondie dolls after lockdown to better recreate the poster pose, rather than using the child one I had available. A bit fragile in places, but I'll think how to sturdy it up over the next little while no doubt.

    What to do when you only collect Original Trilogy related Star Wars sets and you get an original Republic Gunship in a bulk lot with no figures, decayed stickers and a good proportion of parts missing? Modify it into an OT era derelict smuggler's shack hideout complete with repurposed primary wing cannon defence turret. Full Republic Gunship hideout MOC gallery by jp-30, on Flickr

    Not sure if this is an "Update" rather than a rebuild, but the old official IG droids aren't menacing enough any more. LEGO Mandalorian Minifig MOCs by jp-30, on Flickr Full album https://www.flickr.com/photos/134884717@N03/albums/72157712611645742/with/49364715526/

    Inspired by the fierce warrior The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this was built for a vignette contest that had to feature 1 or 2 minifigs. The Black Knight more on Flickr

    My entry for a recent "Build a Tatooine scene" contest. A Krayt Dragon hunt that all went horribly wrong. Krayt Day on Tatooine Krayt Day on Tatooine Krayt Day on Tatooine Krayt Day on Tatooine

    A MOC I've been working on simply for the Friends / Friends joke for the last month or so. Now LEGO has annoyingly announced an official set, thought I'd show the work-in-progress. I'm very happy with Ross & Rachel, Monica is close. Still work to do for the right minidoll part combos (& minifig hair) for Joey, Chandler and Phoebe.A few missing tiles and shelf bits, plus needs the wall behind TV and the window panes behind Phoebe. and some more purple walls. by jp-30, on Flickr

    Was your idea before or after the first wave of physical Indiana Jones sets?

    Thanks for sharing this - fantastic scale, and the nano city / crater is beautiful. :D

    What's the cable over the front wheel arch? We're debating it elsewhere. So far - Chewed flex tube, non-purist twisty tie, lighting wire...?

    Fabulous, I ordered that grey hood piece yesterday to improve my Ideas set - looking at this has inspired me further. Love it.
  15. jp-30
    Thank you for the feedback! I'll update the thread with the improvements as I sort them out (and Bricklink pieces) - was really just wanting to trial the mouth, nose and eyes as the idea has been in my head for a month since I got the Boy with balloon CMF. Once I built the face, I couldn't stop there. Way too square and (Brick Headz-ish) presently. But I'm happy with what I've done, and looking forward to really knocking the rest into shape in the next little while.

    My first attempt at a Beaker Muppet MOC. I was inspired by the Henson Retrospectacle concert in New Zealand a few weeks ago, and by trying to use the new balloon piece as a Muppet nose. Now I know it works the next step is to make the head more cylindrical, shape the body and articulate the arms. Stay tuned...

    That rubber ducky shirt on the new Robin minifig is way too cool for him, so I made it a new owner. Thomas Magnum. Have tweaked the front of the Ferrari to make it sleeker (final photo)

    Thank you all for your comments, I'm glad it brought some smiles to some faces.

    Inspired by the new Fun in the Park Set 60134, I decided to put a classic Star Wars twist on it by creating a Skywalker-Solo family vacation back to Tatooine. chewie-ben Leia has dug out her old Tatooine bikini and is catching some rays (and showing off that post-baby flat stomach). Young Ben is showing signs of jaundice, so a dose of those twin suns should help get rid of the yellow complexion. Uncle Chewie gives Ben a feed, while Han gets lunch ready. sandchildren One of the Sandchildren enjoying making sandcastles in the park, don't get too close though, he can be pretty feisty if you stand on his creation. doiknowyou R2 strikes up a conversation with the rubbish bin, wondering if they'd met before somewhere. torture Running a hover-groomer over the sand is simply torture, EV-9D9 thinks to itself. newcouple A strangely familiar couple take a quiet stroll in the park. hotdogkids A young Talz lines up for a hot-dog from the local vendor. I wouldn't trust that Rodian kid though, always causing trouble. hero-relax A well earned sit-down and glass of wine for our hero. Off sitting by himself again, the Solos do wonder if he has some reclusive tendencies. painter Just a bit of painting maintenance work. goldengod What has 3PO done to himself this time? Luckily he has a helper (a long way from home) to push the hoverchair around. kickball Some kids in their favourite costumes have a friendly game of blueball. whee A local boy and his Jawa pal have fun on the spinning Vaparator play equipment. From each angle: angle 1 angle 2 angle 3 angle 4 Just a quick hour's MOCing, hope you enjoyed it. Would love to see other's takes on this concept (not necessarily Star Wars inspired)

    Disney has shut down Infinities Toys-to-Life. What does this mean for LEGO Dimensions? It has just been announced that Toys To Life game Disney Infinity has been canned. http://www.nzherald....jectid=11637337 So, does this bode poorly for the other Toys to Life franchises, specifically LEGO Dimensions? Or is this an opportunity now to step into the gap in the market and get more Disney owned products that may have been Disney Infinity exclusives (DIsney classics, Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc) into LEGO DImensions?

    Toyworld Westgate (Auckland) had them out today. $5 as per all other Collectible Minifig series' (there was speculation in the Disney Minifig thread they would be $6 or $7 in NZ). Picked up 7 of them, and 2 Aladdins, hopefully can get the rest (except the Toy Story alien) in the next few weeks. All pre-felt by staff and packets marked with the figure number, which is a massive time saver.

    Any word on when the Disney Collectible Minifigures will hit NZ? We were really early with the last wave. I think I saw 'end of May' somewhere, but NZ is often ahead of the official release dates.

    I made a few custom SOTE figs & vignettes a few years back. I think with Disney erasing the EU, chances are slim for any official sets. Can't find any photos of my Prince Xizor, unfortunately.
