With this MOC I present my second version of a Fremen Ornithopter. My original MOC was heavily based on bt.bricks Fremen Ornithoper which can be found here: https://btbricks.gumroad.com/l/ornithopter-fremen I wanted to make the Ornithopter more accurate in regards to the small Ornithopter Paul and Jessica used in Dune Part I. This new design is a complete overhaul to overcome a lot of the limitations of my original MOC and to make it also more movie accurate. The differences to my original version include the following: a full redesign of the main body, resulting in a "smoothed" outer shape another result of the body redesign is, that the part between the blade connectors and the cockpit shrunk by 2 studs full redesign of the cockpit with new side canopies (either part 3383 or part 65633) the blade connectors are now really sturdy no "wobbly" blade positioning anymore - move a blade and it stays instantly in place an overhaul of the wing blades themselves another overhaul of the tail new landing gear which is now capable of carrying the Ornithopter's weight on its own The MOC is available on rebrickable.

"Kynes, you have betrayed the Emperor." - "I serve only one master." I wanted a more interesting way of presenting the minifigures of the LEGO 10327 Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter set. With this MOC, I present my first Dune Diorama: "The death of Dr. Liet-Kynes". It's the scene where Liet-Kynes and three Sardaukar get swallowed by a sandworm. You will need Liet-Kynes from the 10327 LEGO set and three (custom) Sardaukar. I describe my custom built Sardaukar in the instructions, so you can build them on your own. The MOC is available on rebrickable.

Display Stand for the LEGO Atreides Royal Ornithopter I usually publish RC - MOC instructions on Rebrickable. Some weeks ago I asked people on rebrickable, what kind of RC conversion they would prefer for the Ornithopter. During that I showed a quick Rendering of a Base for the Thopter. The folks on Rebrickable liked it so much, that I developed a prototype and published BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS Features Ornithopter can be displayed parked (wings folded and landing gear extracted) or flying (wings unfolded, landing gear retracted transparent support contains locking mechanism (optional) for safety but it only takes seconds to unlock and remove the Ornithopter no special modification of the Ornithopter needed desert is mostly tiles, has 2 dunes and a studded area for placement of mini-figures bricks are fairly cheap and widely available most bricks are tan or dark bluish gray, so they can be re-used easily Part prices A lot of people over on rebrickable seem not to care about part prices and availability. I do! You should be able to buy the bricks and a display should not cost as much as the set. Ornithopter color correction - free instructions And since I am on it: I made free instructions (see my MOC) to swap all those red, yellow and orange bricks on the ornithopter into black and gray. And if you want to help me, tell me How you would prefer a motorization (RC MOD): OPTION-A: Internal Motor, just driving the wings (maybe! the landing gear too) Most likely Power Functions (no extendions for Powered Up) battery box external (any) or in the cockpit (buwizz or china-remote) OPTION-B: External Motor inside a Base, driving the wings and also making the ornithopter start and land and also controling the landing gear (Yes, a single motor could do that, I have an idea) OPTION C: Multiple external motors driving the wings, landing gear and moving the ornithopter like it's hovering while flying -
I wanted to continue with my current Dune obsession but there really isn't all that much inside the Dune universe which lends itself to be transformed into Lego. But I figured that a sandworm + rider would be a nice challenge. I have gone into Stud.io and tried to come up with something. While I do like the current look, I'm not sure if I continue down that path. The damn thing is just too big. It sits on three 32x32 base plates. We're already at more than 3600 pieces and the rear end is still missing, plus I only have a rudimentary support structure for the sand dunes. So I expect a final design to end up quite a bit north of 4000 pieces which is just unreasonable. Still, it was fun so far, so I might at least finish the design in Stud.io. But I doubt that I'll take it any further than that.

If you have followed my WIP Post, you will already have the gist of it. I have finally managed to iron out any issues with my Stud.io design and create the instructions. Basically, I have tried to do the following things: Design a completely new tail section. Replace any offensive colours. Design new panels with less studs. Make the overall shape more like the movie Thopter. You can judge for yourself if I succeeded. Instructions and Part List are available here: https://reb.li/m/179131 Here are some more renderings: And some pictures of my prototype (there are some minor differences compared to the final design):

Good day/night/whatever everyone! I want to share with you a little experiment of mine that got a bit out of control. I hope, you remember set 8284 and its really unique looking b-model. At least I do. Furthermore, it is one of my favourite b-models and I really wanted to pay tribute to it. Obviuos thought was, of course, to make it RC with the new Control+ elements. After half an hour I got something that could drive and steer. I even tested it in the local park, but... something was off. It just wasn't enough. However good looking this buggy is, its transmission wasn't created with electromotors and speedy driving in mind. Wheels tended to fall off. Gears in diff broke at least once. And offroading capabilities were...em... on the small side of expectations. And I got an idea! I decided not just to motorize this buggy, but completely redesign, reimagine it from technical point of view, keeping exterior close enough to what it was before. You know, like these like-oldtimer-outside-but-modern-inside tribute cars which car companies sometimes make. Also I wanted to make transformation function more interesting and useful. So, I started on the blueprints... And here it is! All modern all new Dune Buggy! With familiar face which got a facelift. Literally. New version of transformation not just shortens the car, but lifts all front section up While cockpit raises up, special levers make sure that headlights between wheels always stay horizontal. And not only that. Another special lever in the rear section locks the differential using new orange shifter. This way buggy becomes most offroad. And now - to the video! (With the new intro btw) -

Hi legofans! The idea of the TC20 competition seems very cool to me! Several years ago I already made an attempt to build a remake of 8414. Now there is a great reason to build my second set of Lego techniques - 8207. My father gave it to me when I was 7. My joy knew no bounds. And now, after almost a quarter of a century, I want to repeat this set in a new form. -
I mainly build Technic C-Models, but I also enjoy Creator alternatives, so here's what I built out of set 5763. In the photo, hot-rodder sigfig is added for scale and reference). Features: ► minifig scale (with adjustable steering wheel) ► openable and adjustable canopy-cage with roll bar ► rear suspension (individual for each wheel) ► details such as engine with radiator and twin turbo, lights, steering wheel, twin exhaust and rear view mirrors Browsing through OLX (online marketplace fo classified ads) I found old (2011), used 5763 for a price of a new small, ~50 piece set. I liked how the set contained big wheels and offered possibility to build suspension, so I bought it right away. Only one super-cheap plate was missing, so it was a nice deal. The MOC Alternative uses almost every part from the set. As you can see, the build came out quite clean:

Hi, Presenting my next MOC: Dune Jumper! It is completely manual, with HOG steering and front and back independent suspension. It was originally intended to be a supercar, but I ruined the back, and I thought "Just stick with it, it might end up OK". I think that it ended up better than I expected! Here are more photos: I will probably not create instructions unless requested. Your opinions are appreciated! -
I finished the chassis of my Moc. The thing is, I just don't know what kind of body I should put on it, any ideas? Here a pictures. -
A little video showing a suspension concept: The suspension is tatra-style, not double wishbone. But it is simple and works well enough for my needs. Uses the lego rubber pieces in the place of shock absorbers to save space, and can be built onto a servo motor with as little hassle as possible. I am pleased that the pivot points are all aligned such that the wheels do not steer themselves when the suspension is actuated. Overall a neat concept that I hope to incorporate into my future small-scale MOCs. -
Hello all, This is my 1st post and my very 1st custom minifig. I did this one based on Paul Atreides from the 1984 Done movie. Please let me know what you think. I am not real happy with the red braids please any tips would be awesome! Thanks, Cetanhota

A racing car-like model created for a stop motion that never was. The idea was born out of creating a vehicle with uneven wheel base widths (because of limited parts) and the colors are lime green because those were the parts on hand. The Power Miners stickers actually work towards the model's design in my opinion. The model was reproduced in MLCAD (without stickers) and will be submitted to Rebrickable as well. The windscreen is on a double hinge which allows it to open up despite limited space. The rear compartment is also hinged to allow access to the engine. The car has both front lights and rear lights (on the MLCAD version). Unfortunately, no rear bumper is a weakness of this design. EDIT: I'm also putting a dark blue version of this racecar on rebrickable with pieces that are marginally less rare and (hopefully) less expensive to procure. It looks like a Batman car (whoops :{ )
