Hello everyone! Haven't been around the forums that much lately, but came to share a little project I've been working on recently. Basically, when they revealed the Sagrada Família set, I was very excited, after all it's the most important building from my city, but the model is so bloody huge and expensive that there was no way I was going to buy that. That's when I remembered I had started a Barcelona skyline MOC, similar to the ones Lego used to do in the Architecture theme about 5 years ago and thought, well, maybe I could expand that model (that one only had a façade and four towers) into the whole thing and have it land around the 1000-piece mark, with a reasonable price. I thought you might enjoy the build yourselves, so I've made the instructions freely available on Rebrickable. The pieces are all fairly common and the whole thing should cost around 90€/100$, I've bought all of them straight from Pick a Brick and will post pictures once I build it! This is the façade that Gaudí saw built, the Façade of Birth, which shows different scenes from the birth of Christ. The tree of life crowns the façade. It's a frog in the Lego model This is the main back façade, the Façade of Passion, which is dedicated to the death of Christ. It's harsher and rougher in shapes and texture. On this side, my favourite detail I managed to sneak in is the metro entrace which sits right at the corner of the street (and that I have used myself plenty of times!) Finally there's the only unbuilt façade, the Glory Façade, dedicated to the rising to the heavens of Christ. Each façade has 4 bell towers. There being three façades, there's a total of 12 bell towers, which represent the apostles (yes, there is one dedicated even to Judas Iscariot too!) Then there is the whole assembly of towers in the centre of the the building. The tallest one is dedicated to Jesus Christ and measures 172.5m, just a tad bit shorter than the mountain of Montjuïc, Antoni Gaudí was very respectful of nature and did not want to surpass it. This tower's flankled by four needle-shaped towers that are dedicated to the four evangelists: Mark, John, Luke and Matthew. Finally, there is the tower that sits on the apse of the church, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is crowned by a pointed star. From the top you can also see how the pavement has chamfered edges leading to the road to show that this building sits in a plot of the Eixample, literally surrounded by the whole city. The whole roof and tower subassembly detaches to open up the interior, where you can see the treelike columns and the crypt, where Gaudí is buried. I've been reading the thread by @ameinild about the tower redesigns of the real set, so I'm not the only one not truly satisfied with the real set

Hello I made this MOC, inspired by a French song, Le Petit Pêcheur (by Manon Lisa)</a>,featuring a minifigurescale scene on the beach with a microscale model on top. This song is about leading a simple life in the face of the expectations and ambitions of today’s society. Have fun spotting the various items that appear in the video. >>> Flickr album : https://www.flickr.com/photos/backtothebrick/albums/72177720333694865/

I present to you the main academic building at Lake Forest College, in Lake Forest, IL, USA, built and rendered with stud.io Building this in 1:350 scale was tough because it's hard to capture all the shapes and details at such a small size. I used bricks in existing colors in hopes of one day physically building it, and also incorporated very complicated techniques that I never knew I could even attempt. The inside is a mess of supporting the outside, and I made sure it is stable enough but in digital form, who really knows? All things considered, I'm very proud of this, and looks just like the real thing. There are more shots in the flickr gallery and I can make more on request. -
Hey guys! You may have seen this build on my photostream, or The Brothers Brick, but I thought I would post it here as well so the Eurobricks exclusive crowd would get to see it as well! I want to be more active on other forums besides Flickr this summer too. The nose decals are by Tbone_tbl on Flickr, I found them on MOCpages here: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/72865 I added the door designs and sized them correctly. I made a YouTube video on my channel that showcases the models and shows how to build them check it out here: Thanks for looking! -
Late January, brickset launched a competition for the 60th anniversary of the Lego brick. I initially didn't plan on entering, but, having built two tiny construction vehicles during the same period, I decided to finally try something when I saw they posted a reminder, a bit over a week before the end. So I had a bit more than a week to build something. I chose the Caterham because : -It hadn't been done before at this scale -It's an excellent set, and therefore a good example of what can be achieved with Lego bricks -I thought this part would be perfect for the hood However, I quickly scrapped the idea of using a CCBS shell for the hood, I couldn't integrate it properly in the rest of the MOC. After that, I've spent days and days rebuilding the car to get accurate proportions (at one point, it looked like this - the front was clearly too wide), almost until the very end. The most difficult part was to find a way to connect the two fender parts together (which I haven't been able to do, actually). In the end, the MOC looks like this : There are a lot of fragile connections, and because of that, I wasn't expecting to win at all... but I did. Some people were even interested in building their own copy of the MOC, which is now possible thanks to @DanSto, who created building instructions of the MOC. You can get the PDF here, and obtain a parts list from the Mecabricks page of the model (click on the Inventory tab).

Every now and then the impulse to build comes in a happenstance manner while doing other things. Case in point is this microscale build that was done in a couple of hours after watching a NatGeo special of the famous Chinese landmark... What was your last impulse build? AC

An entry for the LEGO Life logo contest on Rebrick. Under each ‘stud’ on the brick, there is an 8×8 minifig scale vignette, in the same theme as the microscale build above it. I tried to represent three of the core themes of LEGO: City, Space, and Castle. This was a very enjoyable build, as I got to dabble in several themes, but it still all came together fairly quickly and easily. Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt Thanks for looking, C&C welcome

So, some years ago a Russian toy company TEHNOLOG released a tabletop wargame "MechBat" (Mechanical Batallion). It featured two groups of four Mechs battling each other along with squads of tiny soldiers. At the time, I loved the game, especially because it was not restricted to any kind of gaming board so I could come up with all kinds of crazy landscapes, scenarios and special rules. Each of the four Mech figurines had detachable arms and back pieces that symbolized their weaponry and special systems. My two favorites were Barbarian, armed with missile launcher and power fist, and Predator, armed with minigun and a laser cannon. Thanks to my friend @Garry_rocks I was recently reminded of the existence of MechBat and our conversations inspired me to recreate my favorite mechs in LDD. Here is how the original minis looked like: I took the respective color schemes from the picture and applied them to my models: [Render] MechBat - Barbarian and Predator by Artemiy Karpinskiy, on Flickr Here are Barbarian and Predator separately: [Render] MechBat - Barbarian by Artemiy Karpinskiy, on Flickr LDD Screenshot [Render] MechBat - Predator by Artemiy Karpinskiy, on Flickr LDD Screenshot * * *Now folks remember, if you like what I do and you want to see me create your OC, a favorite Bionicle Character, or something else, feel free to look up my Commission Info!

Hi! Our association "Zbudujmy.to!" was asked by Lego Poland to design and build a map of Poland along with several characteristic places. Such a map will be shown at the Lego events in Poland. One of the models that I built is the Royal Castle and Cathedral on Wawel Hill in Krakow. Our models were not to exceed a certain size, so I built only a portion of the building complex. Design - 5 days Building - 2 weeks Size 64x105 studs The height of the highest tower - 46 bricks More than 200 lots About 20000 bricks Wawel complex is one of the best known sites in Poland. Archaeologists dug passages that suggest that already in the eleventh century there were more residential buildings. Later Wawel Castle was the seat of Polish kings and today is one of the places used as presentable by the Polish presidents. Exactly two days ago the Pope celebrated Mass there, upon arrival to the Poland. :-) Entire Complex Courtyard of the castle Tower of Sigismund III Vasa Tower of Jan III Sobieski Tower Jordanka Danish tower Hen's foot Senators Tower Cathedral Clocks Tower Sigismunds Tower Silver Bells Tower And renders of design steps Finished project And some fun with the photo. :-) Ufff ... Thanks for the reading and watching. :-)

Monas is a Local Landmark of Jakarta, Indonesia. Inspired by this Yul Burman Karel’s Monas MOC, but I redesigned it. Monas by Kamal Muftie Yafi, on Flickr I actually want to make this model for join this "Local Landmarks contest" in this forum, but the rules state: “All entries are to include only real LEGO. No clone brands, 3rd party parts, or digital entries allowed.”, Sadly, I don’t have all the part that need to create this model, though all the parts are exist in real life. Well, at least this could be an addition to my (digital) creations.

At the end of the road, a viaduct rises above the gloomy hilly terrain, leading to the gates of a white castle whose elegant tall towers seem to compete with the very mountain peaks...

Hey everybody, today I'm comin' up with my latest creation, which is equally my second moc of a church. My 1st one was built in 2013 and it was designed as a mini modular. This one is much bigger, but it's also executed in microscale: You may find some similarities to any real examples of archtecture, but there is no original one for it - it's a freestyle model. The model consists of round about 3.500 pieces and overall it took me around 9 months to get it complete. In this case I could'nt resist, doing a little photo editing, to get an old-styled look ... ... and when it's getting dark, I turn on the interior light : That's it for now. So, feel free to leave any comment and tell me, what you think about it! Thx & so long, Jens

Here is my entry for the 2015 SHIPtember contest: a deep space ship, the Mantrisse-class Exploration Ship. Length: 121 studs (97 cm) Width: 78 studs(62 cm) Coulours: green, light grey (old & bluish), metal (the 12V rails) This is my 4th SHIP (ship longer than 100 studs) and 2nd one this year. Mantrisse-class Exploration Ship in orbit of new planets by Veynom, on Flickr I started this SHIP quite late in the month, on the 23rd exactly, mainly because until the 21st I was too busy with the preparation of BrickMania Seneffe. Speaking of BMS, I still have several MOCs/MODs to take picture of. Mantrisse-class Long Range Exploration Ship by Veynom, on Flickr Inspiration came with a couple of meta-bricks I received during BrickMania Seneffe and that I finally did not use. :-p The bulk of the Mantrisse body is composed of grey train rails from the 80's, including some of these rails used to conduct electricity. I used the latter to give a different color pattern and texture. In the end, everything got relatively easily built and the ring just fits perfectly. Mantrisse Eploration Ship by Veynom, on Flickr My inspiration sources are based on European graphical novels from Leo and his Aldébaran universe along with his Mantrisse but also Jacobs and his Enigma of the Atlantide. Mantrisse Eploration Ship by Veynom, on Flickr Close-up on the head of the Mantrisse: Mantrisse Head by Veynom, on Flickr I waned and needed to change the general "ship mast" aspect of the Mantrisse. The inclination angle of the 4 antennas makes me now think to a carnivorous flower or some kind of alien head. Mantrisse Head by Veynom, on Flickr The 4 antennas are only attached through a single stud. It is stable when the ship is standing vertically on a table but it will fall down when moved horizontally. The latte minor inconvenient would not exist in space where there is no gravity. More details regarding the engines: Mantrisse Exploration Ship by Veynom, on Flickr And another space scene: Mantrisse in Space by Veynom, on Flickr Some WIP pictures : Day 1 :: 23/09/2015 SHIP WIP day 1 by Veynom, on Flickr Day 4 :: 26/09/2015 SHIP WIP 2 by Veynom, on Flickr Quite happy with the results in the end. :)

I recently bought the 21050 Architecture Studio set and I am hooked! I try to build a small piece every evening, take a picture, and then take it apart. That means only smaller houses, facades, details, etc, so far. Most of the time I build from pictures I find on Instagram, where I also post my photos (username is askansbricks if someone wants to pay a visit). Here is some of the work. Please feel free to comment, I am thankful to any advice or tricks I can get. Torres Blancas, Madrid, by Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza Arne Jacobsen’s petrol station in Skovshoved, Denmark Bernat Klein Studio by Peter Womersley Justice Building, Albany, NY by Wallace Harrison Facade, Slovenia, architect unknown to me Building, country and architect unknown to me Skyscraper, Manchester, UK, architect unknown to me Building, Cardiff, Wales, architect unknown to me School Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan by Arata Endo Balcony, Hamburg, Germany, architect unknown to me Just a pic to show how I take the photo. Any advice for improvement is appreciated. I try to take the picture to make it look like the picture I am working from.

Tiny Ocean Liner is my next micro MOC project for the Bricklink MOC Shop. This rendering is temporary and not for the final product (missing part is in the mail). Real photos and building instructions are in the works. Anyway, this MOC is inspired by great passenger ships of the early 1900’s, from before aviation took over. It may be tiny but this building challange is great

Location: E11 - The Fascini Cluster Tags: Military, Vehicle, Spaceship "Mission: Shoot your way through the asteroid belt to separate the required resources while avoiding any asteroids that don't contain any" This'll be easy. New highscore coming up! How many times do I need to tell you to stop playing that game and get on with your work?! I have stopped playing that game. This is a different one. OoC: Been ages since I last posted, so think I've done the tags right.... I built this ages ago, around the same time as the build linked in the conversation AC is having with Lloyd. I was going to work it in to the story as a game that Lloyd was playing, but never found time and we weren't building on a suitable planet for me to use it as a stand alone piece at the time, but it's going here now so that I can finally post pics of it. Below are some more pics of the little microscale space ship showing it from different angles. When I built it I just wanted to try building a microscale spaceship using a minifig jack hammer in the build somewhere and this was the result.

I've been too busy to build much in the last couple of months, so my latest build is actually pretty small. Due to space restrictions, I limited myself to build something modular on multiple baseplates, so I could built on one or two baseplates at the same time, and keep the rest in storage. Another problem was my semi-sorted brick collection, which affected building time a lot. The biggest challenge was to find all the small parts needed. And despite the small size, there is a lot of parts used in the display. I started experimenting with some houses first and then built the rest. Then I continued with the outskirts, the river, the train tracks and a lonely farm on the other side of the river. At this point, I was running low on most of the parts needed to add more details, so I round it up. Some of the details are not in the perfect scale with others, but I think they're still recognizable. This is how the display looks like from a distance. The idea is to extend this display further. While this part was largely unplanned, I need to plan more for the extensions, and most importantly order some of the parts I almost run out. If you're interested, you can find high-res pictures on my Flickr.
