    The Sea Pincer is a new Aquasharks sub, based on the design of the Stingray Sea Creeper or Crab. With two manipulator arms it is designed to quickly grab the energy crystals or sabotage the Aquanauts subs and under water bases. With extra stabilizer fins on the bottom of the craft and propellers that have an 180 degrees turn, it can also quickly back off and turn around for improved maneuverability. -- I finally obtained the Stingray set 6140/6109 today, which I have totally missed in my childhood apparently. And after assembling it for the first time, I wondered what it would look like in Aquasharks colors. So here is my quick ~1.5 hour build, I also added a small base and the Shark Scout mk2 that I had already made.

    @LEGO Train 12 Volts Thanks.

    Maybe, but I think yellow would have worked better as a nod to the old shields. And blue would also be my preferred color. Hopefully they will introduce this Torso to the online BAM when the make that service available again.

    @Follows Closely I agree that it would be perfect then. Maybe that is possible but would require a more difficult construction, for example jumper plates do not exist in dark brown. The top beam would also have to be a plate higher to accompany the offset stud of the modified brick with stud on its side and the gap would have to be filled somehow, requiring some more brackets/tiles.

    @hoppa Thanks. See also the progress of the build: Ids on Twitter: "Trying out some timber framing (post-and-beam) with Lego. #LEGO #レゴ https://t.co/utpcgN0uPo" / Twitter And this picture: The top and bottom are cheese slopes, pushed in between those other cheese slopes. @Feuer Zug Thanks.

    Thanks, yes I tried to include al sorts of printed/stickered pieces to give it that near future/cyberpunk vibe.

    Marko is just about to try and return to the river to catch some more fish, while Sascha is drying the previous catch. A small furry friend is looking with anticipation waiting for Sascha to leave. -- Will probably be part of a larger layout together with https://flic.kr/p/2mMtevr -- It started out as a tryout to use a post-and-beam technique and evolved to this house. The stone base of the house is 10x10, with some jumper magic, the bottom of the house is 9x9, before expanding to the front to 10x9 studs for the floors above and the roof.

    @AmperZand Thank you and yours looks also nice. I'm still thinking about building a few other Woodlings and making some sort of forest hideout/base for them.

    @Brickwolf Thank you.

    @BrickMatit Thanks, yes that a Woodling, I made two other designs that can be seen here, it's fun designing them: @AmperZand Thanks.

    @ExeSandbox Thanks, the style is somewhat futuristic, inspired by cyberpunk work, Hong Kong and of course Japan. The Japanese characters work really well like this.

    The district-7 Ramen corner is famous for it's delicious noodles, because there are only a few seats available, it's always busy especially during lunch hour.

    Elwyn and Raelyn are on the road again, walking through the forest. All their belongings are carried by their horse. The forest creatures are observing them carefully especially the Woodlings, who follow them secretly inside the Whispering Woods. -- Elwyn the last Ash wood elf travels together with Raelyn. a half elf who had rescued him from the destruction of his land. Raelyn took care of his wounds and if she didn't stop Elwyn from immediately returning to the city, he would have surely died. The great elven city of Nyen Aerthoru was attacked by the Aelshide who summoned demons and corrupted the animals and beasts of the land. -- Elwyn is looking for the elves of the Whispering Woods, to find a way to restore his land and the corrupted city.

    The Meguro River (目黒川, Meguro-gawa) is a river which flows through Tokyo and is a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing in the spring. March 27 was the Cherry blossom day (桜の日, Sakura no Hi) so a perfect day for a build featuring the Cherry blossoms. Meguro-gawa by Ids, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

    @imvanya, no problem, I'm sure to update the figs if I find better parts to use. It's a good idea to share ideas.
  23. the Inventor
    Thanks @imvanya, I agree that Batou could use some work. I am also not entirely sure about Pazu. For Batou that suggested head is nice but I would like to keep them yellow for now. I made them without resorting to buying extra parts so made them of the ones I had available. Although I could have used Zane's hair and maybe another torso. I also really like Saito, that head fits perfectly and for Ishikawa that hair piece has an additional bonus. I can attach a visor for the computer screen he uses, when attaching the silver ice planet visor it looks like an attached screen.

    For Marchikoma I build this Fuchikoma which even fits a fig quite nicely, see also https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Fuchikoma for more information about the original. Fuchikoma - フチコマ by Ids, on Flickr When I had build this Fuchikoma based on the Ghost in the Shell manga, I also had to come up with some figs based on section 9, https://ghostintheshell.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Security_Section_9_(organization) These are my (purist) take on the members of section 9, from left to right: Saito - Tactical Sniper Motoko Kusanagi - Major/Field Commander Togusa - Investigator/2nd Field Commander Daisuke Aramaki - Lieutenant Colonel/Section Chief Batou - Lead Investigator Boma - Spotter, Investigator, and bomb specialist Pazu - Investigator Ishikawa - Covert Intelligence and Technology Executive Officer and a Fuchikoma who does not want to miss the photo session.
