    Thanks🙏 Glad you like it. The entire Minifigure isn't LEGO, it's a custom MF very well done, and fits perfectly with the diorama😉 I tried with LEGO pieces but the pig head was missed.

    "A pig who doesn't fly is just an ordinary pig" After a long time since my last work here is my latest new creation, based on the iconic first scene of the animated film Porco Rosso by Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's greatest animation director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli. Between missions over the Adriatic Sea, the anthropomorphic bounty killer Porco Rosso keeps his seaplane in this secret cove, inspired by the stunning Stiniva Bay in Croatia. Porco Rosso is one of my favorite films by the Japanese director and is full of interesting ideas. This scene had been on my list for a long time, and I recently found the time and inspiration to build it. The diorama also includes the legendary red Savoia S.21, the Porco Rosso character, his tent, and many small tools as seen in the film. Savoia S.21 is the fictional prototype seaplane used by Marco Pagot, aka Porco Rosso. This seaplane was named after SIAI S.21, an Italian racing flying boat built by SIAI for the 1921 Schneider Trophy race. However, it does not closely resemble the real S.21, as it was modeled after another Italian seaplane, the Macchi M.33, with which it has in common the retracted cockpit and a single pair of wings. Note the Fabuland piece I used for the seaplane's engine above the wings and the rare tent from an old Indiana Jones set. Hope you lile it!

    This little fishing boat is about to set sail! This cute boat is the fishing vessel of Pablo, an old bearded fisherman who loves spending his days fishing and sailing in the open sea. The boat is equipped with everything you need for deep-sea fishing. Theo, Pablo's best friend, is waiting for him on the pier with his kitten to find out what fish he has caught. About the set This brick-built vessel amazes for the extreme similarity to the real ones and for the attention to detail. The set is composed by the hull, the cabin and a front compartment to store the caught fish. Two minifigures are included in the diorama, Pablo and Theo. A small pier completes the set which looks like a nice postcard. The boat is built with many special and fun techniques, for sure you will love to build it! The cabin of the boat can be lifted up to reveal the engine compartment beneath it. The front compartment can also be lifted and there is a small storage area underneath. Fishing Boat is on BRICKLINK DESIGNER PROGRAM 5 and could become an official set! It now needs your support, if you like it you can support it! With your support, hopefully we can turn the Fishing Boat into an actual LEGO BDP set. Thank you all for your support, comments and shares!

    The iconic southwestern style house now in LEGO form! This whitewashed adobe flat-roofed house is a classic example of so-called Southwestern architecture. Adobe had been in use by indigenous peoples of the Americas in the Southwestern United States, Mesoamerica, and the Andes for several thousand years. You can still see these kind of homes in Mexico and in the southwestern of the United States indeed. It's packed with all the details and features you'd expect to find in a house like this in the middle of the desert. The house is a visual treat, covered with nice details, from the use of printed 1X1 round tiles on the protruding ends of the logs to the plant-covered arbors that provide shady spots on the flat roof. The use of woodgrain tiles above the windows and doors adds some welcome texture amongst the white. The set includes eye-catching floorings reflecting the designs of Central American cultures. Don't miss the chile ristras which hang next to the doors, the wrought-iron lever fountain and the Aloe Vera plant. The adobe house features a complete interiors with two floors: the ground floor with the living room, the bedroom and kitchen. Furthermore, on the left is the stable for thoroughbreds. Hope you like it! More photos on my Facebook page

    The Hedgehog A few weeks ago while I was watching Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, I spotted a large tank that caught my attention. From that I built this menacing 'bad boy' full of details and features and wrapped in a total dark gray color scheme. It's called The Hedgehog and the reason is quite obvious: dozens of dark tan claws guarantee maximum grip on all types of terrain. And the appearance resembles the small spiky mammal. The shape is deliberately awkward and a little cartoonish. I added details and features without ever going overboard. The upper part with the turret opens to expose a detailed little interior with such an assortment of armaments and equipment. Last but not least, the moustached commander looks like he came out of a WW II Panzer.

    NIBARIKI, Hayao Miyazaki's Citroën 2CV and Tokyo snowfall A few months ago I built the personal studio of Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's greatest animation director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli, best-loved of all the Japanese animation studios. Now it seems that it snowed heavily in Tokyo, so much so that Hayao is walking in snow with his snowshoes and with his Husky. A pair of skis are already loaded on the Citroën 2CV, heading towards Mount Fuji! Hope you like it!

    Haunted A-Frame Cabin While I'm looking forward to the see my A-Frame Cabin on the shelves of the LEGO stores worldwide as it has been chosen as one of the next LEGO IDEAS sets (I still can't believe it...), I built a spooky variation of the rustic house based on the 2012 LEGO Monster Fighters series. It is a kind of tribute to the MF Haunted House released in 2012 by TLG. Size and shape are basically the same as the A-Frame Cabin, colors, details, setting and Minifigures are completely different. If you take a deeper look, you can spot many references and Easter eggs directly related to the LEGO horror theme. The gramophone, the trunk with the top hat, the glass dome with a bone inside are all objects from the MF set. The gate is also a clear tribute to the Haunted House. And take a look at the zombie heads above the gate columns, do you remember where they were in the MF set? Last but not least don't miss the magic Bat Moonstone of Lord Vampyre, the villain of the series. Enjoy and happy Hall🎃ween!

    Hungry like the wolf Hi there! Happy to share my latest creation that it's loosely inspired both by the story of the writer Xavier Liras, creator of the Spiral Universe, and by the illustration of the artist Alexander Shatohin. Below you can read a very brief summary of Xavier's story that describes my creation well. "The story goes that the Guardian of the abyss lives right on the edge of the abyss. His job for generations has been to explore the Abyss and its mists and gain insight into what is happening in the world. The Abyss has many levels, it is the manifestation of the psyche of humanity. There is a terrible war going on in this world now that could plunge us into extinction. The Guardian must lure Wolf Fenrir to the surface and be devoured. But the wolf will not be able to kill him completely and, back in the abyss, he will be forced to spit it out. Only then will the initiation of the Guardian into the deepest Abyss begin." Enjoy and beware the wolf!
