  3. Thanks @SirBlake Actually the railing and other details should have been dark green, as you can see in the last photo I posted, but sadly I didn't have those bricks of that color. But it works the same

  5. NIBARIKI, Hayao Miyazaki's Citroรซn 2CV My latest creation is a tribute to Hayao Miyazaki, Japan's greatest animation director and co-founder of Studio Ghibli, best-loved of all the Japanese animation studios. I had already written in the past how his films and his stories often inspired my creations, especially in terms of atmosphere and environments. Back in 1998, Hayao Miyazaki designed and built a house for his production company, called Nibariki. This house is located nearby Studio Ghibli's main building. Nibariki means 2 horsepower in Japanese and the name is a clear tribute to the beloved Citroรซn 2CV that the artist has been driving for more than forty years. Above you can see both Mr. Miyazaki's new office and his Citroรซn 2CV. And of course our beloved masterful storyteller too. Miyazaki bought his first 2CV as a university student in the early 1960s. It was a right-hand-drive model, imported from the U.K. and painted bright yellow. A 2CV first appeared in Miyazaki's first feature-length film, 1979's The Castle of Cagliostro. An action-adventure tale involving a mischievous gentlemen thief, the well known Lupin III, and featuring multiple car chases, including the heroine, Clarisse, escaping in her 2CV. Miyazaki's current Citroรซn is a 1987 2CV 6 painted in light gray and is exactly like the one you see in my latest creation.

  11. In search of land, promised or not Floating Dystopia is a floating barge doomed to wander the oceans of Hyperuranium in search of the promised land. It all started on February 22, 2222 when a tremendous nuclear war wiped out human civilization in less than a week. The earth thrown off its axis, its crust rocked by massive movements, and the five continents were torn completely apart and sunk deep below the sea. Only a small portion of sub-Saharan Africa was saved and the few remaining human beings were forced to leave their lands, devastated and burned, to seek a safe haven where they can live in peace and prosperity. But this land is far away and in the meantime they are forced to live a dystopian life made of deprivation and scarcity. The characters are: Kebra (advisor and childhood friend of Prince Nagast), Nagast (the prince of the sub-Saharan tribe of the Rastarians) and Hailรฉ (the military leader of the Rastarian tribe and the bodyguard of Prince Nagast). Will they find their promised land? Enjoy!

  14. My A-FrAme Cabin is the next official LEGO IDEAS set and...I still can't believe it! It's been more than 24 hours now since the news that my A-FrAme Cabin will be the next LEGO IDEAS set and I still can't believe it...Yet it's all true! Maybe you have already read the post somewhere but I still want to thank all those who voted and shared the project and all of you who have been following and supporting me for years! And now we just have to wait for the A-FrAme Cabin to hit the shelves of the LEGO STORE...what an incredible thrill THANK YOU, you're awesome
  15. 10.000 THANKS! A few days ago my Santaโ€™s Cottage achieved the coveted 10,000 votes on LEGO IDEAS: it's unbelievable! It all started on December 1st and ended on February 1st: exactly two months! I've worked hard these 63 days to promote the project and I am delighted to have achieved the goal. I thank everyone who helped me in this incredible path. I don't know how it will end up but I am already very happy and satisfied with it. Thank you all! You're awesome!
  16. Santa's Cottage fully detailed interiors are out now! While only few supports are missing to achieve the coveted goal for Santa's Cottage on LEGO IDEAS, I show you the interiors of the Cottage I built as update project No. 8 few days ago. The Cottage features a complete interior with two floors: the upper one with the bedroom; and the ground floor with the living room. The whole interior is chock full of details that make the set very playable. You can easily lift up the two roofs to access inside and play with the utensils and surprising accessories including table and chairs, a fireplace, a pendulum clock and many more. Thanks to the wooden furniture you can breathe a warm and welcoming atmosphere, typical of mountain cottages: nice coziness inside while it's cold outside. It's Christmastime indeed! And it's so enjoyable!
