Hi, this is one of my few Moc's - NINJA - Fight for...

1989 Lego Batmobile

I had a bit of a debate with myself about whether this should go in MOCs or sets, but decided the changes constitute a MOC, even if it's built on a set.

I've lit up the engine of my UCS Millennium Falcon:

It's done using a €2 20 LED set from a Euro store. I had to replace the 2x3 grey plates the trans-blue tile attach to with transparent parts (and as 2x3 clear plates cost a fortune, I built them out of 1x1s and 1x2s). After that, there was a bit of work to remove some parts that blocked the lights, and some internal parts to hold the wires in place.

Here's the pizza shop. I really don't have the plates to finish it up yet. I'd like to make the sidewalk/footpath match 10243. I like having the loo in there, but I think that it takes up too much room. I'd rather the tables be 4x4 or 4x6 and have the pizzas fit in the center without taking up the entire table.

Any thoughts?

Anyone have some black plates and smooth grey plates that they would like to sell?

Here's some photos of a train station I've been working on this year. It's mainly finished apart from some extra interior details for the two upper floors on the main building. It's not based on any real station, but is more of a homage to the old station sets that LEGO made in the 70s, 80s and 90s, which is why it's in red.

"Allow me? I am Captain James Bartholomew Hook, world's most famous crook - captain of the fine mighty Jolly Roger and its crew, honorable pirate, finder of many treasures and killer of the Croco... Okay, who am I kidding.."

For some reason, Disney's Captain Hook was always a favorite of mine. Not really evil, clumsy and funny at times, having his own nemesis in the shape of a comical crocodile - and always being outwitted by Peter Pan. Or clumsy Mr. Smee.
Long story short: I had to build him - in this iconic pose, including the crocodile. It was great fun and a challenge to build at this scale, especially with those limiting colors (I'm talking to you, magenta!).

Hello everyone!

I just came back from Chicago and Brickworld two days ago and I can finally show you what I worked on for a couple of months this year. Some of you already saw this beauty in one form or another.

Last year I built the Frauenkirche Dresden (exhibited in Dublin last year) and ever since I was hooked on Architecture scale. This year I wanted to push the limits that this scale creates even further.
An event in Norway and Brickworld offered a playground as I wanted to show something new next to the old one and after a while I settled on the Santa Maria della Salute, an iconic church from Venice, Italy.

For my Battle of Hoth Diorama, I've been working on the medical base with Luck in the tank getting thawed out.

Hope y'all like it!

James

Hi.

Some of you have seen my XXL Modular Fire Station.

I have also given the XXL treatment to the Town Hall.

2 copies of 10224 plus extra pieces.

Niall.

My latest build may have some political connotation...
