8,000+ bricks later and 30 (build time) hours later, it's complete!

...well, sort of. It isn't strictly flying, just sort of spinning around in a circle but it is propelled by a propellor and with all the motors and battery boxes integrated is probably the closest Lego will ever get to flying. The original idea wasn't actually my idea but the work of ISOGAWAYoshito. He posted a video title HELIOPT3R - ROBOT REMIX#1 Yoshito (found here: ) and I thought that that looked pretty cool. It only took me 8 months to make one! Mine is a lot less complex than his and uses a RC motor for drive. The front facing propellor is for rotating it around and is geared at 1:1.6 from the RC motor's fast output. The top facing propellor is to keep the weight on the pivot point, a 3L axle with stop, to a minimum making the model more efficient. Here are some pictures of it: Here is one of the gearing/transmission between the two propellors and the RC motor. Two of the propellor. The holes you can see in the white background of the two images are from where I misjudged how close the propellor was to the backing. Whoops! And finally a video: Thanks for reading. I'm making a LDD file at the moment so that will be ready soon. Please leave any feedback or queries you have and I'll [try to!] answer them, Jim. -
Hello, finally I finished something big! ...a great white shark breaching the water surface... P.S.: Please support the guinea Pig on Lego Ideas. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/115052

Kingfisher by rolli, on Flickr For a contest I spontaneously built this kingfisher over the last weekend. I always loved the vibrant colour combination of its feathering. Both dark orange as well as medium azure have quite a limited parts availability but I think it worked out nicely Here's a small picture of its back: Let me know what you think! Best Markus / rolli

During March i took part in the MocAthalon over at MocPages (kinda using it as a spur to get out of a building slump, really) One of the catagories i was handed was to build a life-sized bust of a real or fictional person. And can i just say, man was this catagory hard... special thanks to whoever thought this catagory up, i had a blast and wow, was i stretched as well! It was my partner who actually suggested i make a bust of David Bowie as she is a huge fan - initally i was dubious but then when i recalled the classic "Aladdin Sane" album cover, i thought, could i actually pull off that lightening bolt across his face? I didn't know.. and there was only one way to find out! ;) I had a hard time photographing this with all the brick shine - i knew i wanted some white background shots to recreate the album cover, but i actually thought it would pop better on black and give viewers a better idea of the sculpting involved. So, here is a full revoloution of Bowie on black: The side on angles were the least flattering and showed where i struggled the most with the anatomy. The face is far too flat and you can see how enlongated the head is. But hey, the Ziggy Stardust character is a kind of alien, right? (Ok, just covering my failings i know!) He really did have an epic mullet in those days. Business on top, party at the back! Well, that's it. C and C welcome as always. Thanks for looking peeps!

The creation costing me 52 man hrs to build. I guess the core using around 45,000 bricks, but the skin was unable to count, since too many plates used. Goto the album on Facbook

Hello, these are my macaws. A blue and gold macaw, a great green macaw and a crimson macaw. I have got an affinity for parrots.

Hello, This is my red fox. Sometimes I see one in the late evening, crossing the street. Mostly in summertime. I hope you like it!

Being based on George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series and the HBO series Game of Thrones, I'm not sure if this belongs in historic themes or in "special" as just a sculpture, but since Martin was blatantly ripping off the Colossus of Rhodes and that was clearly historical, I think I'll post this here. (Moderators, feel free to move as you see fit) This guy stands about three feet tall (just shy of a meter) and made his public premiere at Brickfair New England, 2015, where it/I took the Brickee for Best Individual Builder (I offer a big thanks to all my fellow AFOLs who voted for me). A fair bit of engineering went into figuring out how to get him to lean/loom just right without collapsing under his own weight. The arms are cantilevered on technic beams through the shoulders. No glue or trans-clear parts are used to extra support, the shoulder joints actually do support the weight of the extended sword arm and the shield. Actually, there's quite a lot of technic action going on under the skin, the whole sculpture is pretty much a system of trusses with studs out in every direction and then it gets skinned in tiles, slopes and bows to give it its final form. The shield and armored kilt went through quite a number of revisions, reworkings and a few "why on earth am I even trying to do this?" moments, but in the end I came up with designs that generally worked for me. I hope you like them as well. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello, this is a male alexandrine parakeet. We have many of them in the quater. Well, I feed them in wintertime. Unfortunatly it seems to get around. There are so many of them, and it is still cold outside...

Here is a secret dossier from Area 51 with a codename 'Alien Scout'. Original sketch depicting the mysterious alien is shown below. Who is it: a living creature in an exosuit, a cyborg or a robot? It has a humanoid shape, but the differences from human anatomy are significant. And the purpose of all those devices on its suit remains unclear.

Hello, this is a common rat. I tried to capture it in motion.

Hello, this is my egyptian mummy. It is by far my biggest MOC! ... ( It´s 1,50 m tall) It can stand without help! The eyes open by a button on the back of the head. The bandages left brown marks on the skin. Not everything is in good preservation! For transport...

Hello, now I continue after a short respite... This is a great tit. It is pluffed up in the cold.
-
Hello, these are my sulphur-crested cockatoos. They are a little bit smaller than my other parrots. (I will post them soon!)
-
Hello, today, something small... This is my house mouse. Unlike most of my animals, it is built in life size.
-
Hello, I continue with my series of animals... This is a toco Toucan or giant toucan. It is one of my first Animals.

Hello, these are two new-world monkeys. A white-headed capuchin and a squirrel monkey.

Hello, I already posted these birds in the special themes forum. I was asked to bring them up here, too. At first I was a little bit sceptical if it´s OK to post things twice. But here they are: At first the Macaws. The blue and gold macaw: The great green macaw: The crimson macaw: And from another continent: The alexandrine parakeet. Actually the alexandrine parakeet is as common for a pirate as the macaws. Pirates in the Indian Ocean didn´t have any macaws. And the alexandrine parakeet is the more skillful talker. Edit by Phred: Please provide comments for these MOCs in the Special Theme topics that contain the same MOCs. MOC: Macaws MOC: Alexandrine Parakeet

Hello, this is a bee-eater, I built for a small contest about the minifigure-series. Everyone chose a minifigure and built it´s natural envirenment or a familar scene on a 16x16 plate. It was a quick moc. I had no time to order parts or to revise it. That´s why it looks a little bit angular shaped.

The Faun from the brilliant movie "Pan's Labyrinth" by Guillermo Del Toro. I made this bust for Brickworld Lafayette in a 19 hour time window before the start of the show. This is by far my favorite build I have completed to date. Enjoy!

This is my entry into my LUG's quarterly build challenge, this time it was build something using exactly 100 pieces, harder than you think. Give it a try. SydLUG exactly 100 piece challenge by Taz-Maniac, on Flickr

I haven't posted many MOCs here lately because I've been a bit busy with this guy. I spent about two months designing designing things on paper (literally, I play with Lego to get away from computers so I rarely do much with LDD or MLCad) and about eight months building and rebuilding the model itself. The tower stands a bit over four feet tall from base to crown and is made from a ridiculous number of small parts for something that weighs about as much as a teenager. There's a six foot strand of LED christmas lights in the lava moat at the base to try to break up the black a bit, but other than that, everything else is pure factory issues Lego. I still consider this a work in progress as: a) I haven't come up with a good solution for the Eye of Sauron despite having built several dozen at this point (bricks, cones, flames, helmet plumes, radar dishes - still haven't the right look yet) b) There's still work to be done on the base (outer guard towers, flume delivering molten rock to the lava moat etc.) c) I really need to learn how to photograph big black, highly detailed ABS surfaces. This thing is way too big for my light box and I've yet to take a photo of it that does it justice. The base is about 2 feet by 3 feet and the lower ramparts are a system of concentric rings tied together by radial walls. It's nominally hollow, but there's a lot of internal buttressing, arches, and technic structure buried inside to support the weight of the upper tiers. If you're curious, I have a few more photos (of equally poor quality) over on MOC pages I welcome all comments, questions and suggestions as to how best to finish and photograph this beast (particularly if you have any great insights in to the design of a 10 stud diameter Eye of Sauron that doesn't look cheesy). Thanks for stopping by.
