Hi all! Just wanted to show everyone my first proper MOC. It's the Ape City from one of my all time favourite films, Planet of the Apes (1968). I've been building Lego my whole life essentially but this is the first time I've really put time into making my own original design, other than random little spaceships back when I was a nipper. As its my first attempt at a set I'd really appreciate any and all feedback, positive and negative, to help me improve. I do plan to update the set in the future once I get my own drawing tablet, giving the characters custom torso, leg and head prints as well as giving the apes more accurate hair pieces.

The set is currently on Lego Ideas. You can check it out here if you're interested: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/e5a065d3-255c-4bd7-91f1-9b3a699f2946

Any support or feedback would be much appreciated!
Many thanks!

USS Langley CV-1/AV-3 was the first American aircraft carrier. She was formerly the collier USS Jupiter from 1912 to 1920 when she was converted into an aircraft carrier and renamed the USS Langley.

An extra GWP set brings a new science vessel and storable exploration vehicles for the space babies.

Bit of a rushed build, created a moc of Crumlin Train Station as it was in the 50's for First Bangor Model Railway's annual trainshow.

Hello everyone this is my first post here, I built these models of the RMS Titanic and her sisters last year and they are 86 studs long and 9 Studs wide. I have built several other Lego ship models including Cunard Line's RMS Aquitania and White Star Line's SS Atlantic and I plan to build many more famous ships in the future.

History of the Ships
RMS Olympic was the lead ship of the White Star Line's Olympic class ocean liners. She had a career that lasted 24 years from 1911 to 1935 which included service as a troopship during the First World War. After the war she served successfully as an ocean liner throughout the 1920s and into the first half of the 1930s and was decommissioned and scrapped in 1935.

RMS Titanic was the second ship of the Olympic class and was the largest ship in the world when she was completed in 1912. The Titanic sank during her maiden voyage on April 15th 1912 after striking an iceberg on the 14th.

Had to take a few photos of our Mini Modular/Creator 3in1 scale Lego city before it needs to be dismantled to move house. My son and I have been working on this for the last couple of years since he got the 31105 Toy Shop for Christmas. We immediately built a street around it and it escalated quickly into a full blown city build at similar Creator scale.

We've gone from a modified Ikea Lack table, to his old train set table, to the current 3x8 baseplates on two Ikea Melltorp table set-up. We managed to squeeze in a train loop by using some 3D printed curved track pieces with a tighter turn than the official track.

Good height and depth to these tables so the plan is to add a few more in a square when it gets rebuilt.

A couple of shots of a little scene I've been tinkering with...

I need to order parts to finish it, but I've been having some fun with it. I'm tempted to make the track longer, but I don't think it will ever go around curves, so I don't see it being anything other than a display piece. The wagons are a little wider than I'd like, but I haven't managed to think of any way of making them slimmer.

Suggestions welcome!

This build is for an online challenge I joined this month, basically anything goes as long as it is on a 24x24 base.

I had picked up the Harry Potter Shrieking Shack set a while back to use the parts to create an old ramshackle cabin in the snow and decided to add a secret bunker underneath.
