Brick.ie The Irish Association for Adult Fans of LEGO®

Over the past 15 days, I've created a sort of visual documentary of some of the more prominent aspects of this pandemic, as experienced here in Ireland. The builds were, of course, created under the confines of lockdown (one build per day) as a way of putting into brick form some of my own observations and those related by others. Some are amusing, some serious, some upsetting, others hopeful.

The focus was on the emotive message, so there's no fancy brickwork or master builder techniques, just simple vignettes made from what I had on hand.

Just for fun I build a LEGO Rubik's Cube...

This was created for a contest hosted by InnovaLUG that asked for MOCs to touch the floor on a maximum of four studs. So I went with three, just in case

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long while and figured I'd finally give the concept a shot considering it fit the restrictions so well. Had I known what a strenuous weekend I'd have as a result of that I might have reconsidered as it turned out that every single segment was difficult to get right in its own way.

I started with the horse's head as that was going to be the standout feature, and boy, is it hard to get those creatures right!

I made in in few afternoons. Irmina is a dentist assistant so it was good opportunity to build it.

I made dental unit, wall rentgen, dental cabinet and desk with pc.

My dad commissioned me to design an orrery - a working model of the earth, moon and sun. Version 1 was completed just before Christmas, but it needed some tweaks for stability. So here's version 2, finally finished thanks to "working from home"

Here's a video of it in operation.

This is far from the first Lego orrery (see JKBrickworks, Ryu Yakimoto for examples) but I believe mine is unique in that the centre of rotation of the Earth-Moon system is offset by one stud.

A tree that grew and grew on a rock.
As you can see, nature will always find a place to survive.

Dreaded by sailors across the globe and throughout the centuries, sea serpents are the most fearsome monsters of the unknown deep. Long before the corners of the maps were shaded in, these legendary creatures lurked in uncharted waters, emerging through the roiling waves to swallow hapless seamen and destroy entire ships.

It is difficult to know the origins of the legend; tales of sea serpents spread from port to port over thousands of years, taking particular hold in places such as the Middle East, North America, Scandinavia and Great Britain.

This is the fifth model in my Legends and Lore series. It is comprised of 6,438 elements, took four weeks to design and create and was completed in February 2020.

I admit that I didn't watched any of those Ninjago episodes on tv.
If I would have watched them, I might had a clue what it is with those arcade pod sets.
So I had to figure it out by myself.

Check it out:

Turned out they are super awesome!

Something what I wanna build with my name or nickname.
It take 4 hours to build and it's working.
It will be nice addition on my display at the events.

This is my version of Kuiil and his Blurrg from the Mandelorian (Star Wars TV show, for anyone hiding under a rock|).

It's not my design - I reverse engineered from this one by Flickr member Letranger Absurde:

While it's fun building original designs, sometimes it can be nearly as much fun unpicking another builder's design to see how they've built it. I think the external appearance of mine is pretty close, I expect we'll have some internal differences.
