Kingfisher by rolli, on Flickr For a contest I spontaneously built this kingfisher over the last weekend. I always loved the vibrant colour combination of its feathering. Both dark orange as well as medium azure have quite a limited parts availability but I think it worked out nicely Here's a small picture of its back: Let me know what you think! Best Markus / rolli

...well, sort of. It isn't strictly flying, just sort of spinning around in a circle but it is propelled by a propellor and with all the motors and battery boxes integrated is probably the closest Lego will ever get to flying. The original idea wasn't actually my idea but the work of ISOGAWAYoshito. He posted a video title HELIOPT3R - ROBOT REMIX#1 Yoshito (found here: ) and I thought that that looked pretty cool. It only took me 8 months to make one! Mine is a lot less complex than his and uses a RC motor for drive. The front facing propellor is for rotating it around and is geared at 1:1.6 from the RC motor's fast output. The top facing propellor is to keep the weight on the pivot point, a 3L axle with stop, to a minimum making the model more efficient. Here are some pictures of it: Here is one of the gearing/transmission between the two propellors and the RC motor. Two of the propellor. The holes you can see in the white background of the two images are from where I misjudged how close the propellor was to the backing. Whoops! And finally a video: Thanks for reading. I'm making a LDD file at the moment so that will be ready soon. Please leave any feedback or queries you have and I'll [try to!] answer them, Jim. -
Hello, I am Francesco No one is competitor to me... I can't find any... Help me find one if you know~~~ There are too many unsuccessful trials of building, especially the front wheel. Altogether it takes me 16 months. Finally the wheels look like this. This is the most difficult process. Another difficult part is to deal with the curves... My video: Actually this is the last piece of my CARS trilogy. They are all in mega size. Hope you will enjoy my work.

I haven't posted many MOCs here lately because I've been a bit busy with this guy. I spent about two months designing designing things on paper (literally, I play with Lego to get away from computers so I rarely do much with LDD or MLCad) and about eight months building and rebuilding the model itself. The tower stands a bit over four feet tall from base to crown and is made from a ridiculous number of small parts for something that weighs about as much as a teenager. There's a six foot strand of LED christmas lights in the lava moat at the base to try to break up the black a bit, but other than that, everything else is pure factory issues Lego. I still consider this a work in progress as: a) I haven't come up with a good solution for the Eye of Sauron despite having built several dozen at this point (bricks, cones, flames, helmet plumes, radar dishes - still haven't the right look yet) b) There's still work to be done on the base (outer guard towers, flume delivering molten rock to the lava moat etc.) c) I really need to learn how to photograph big black, highly detailed ABS surfaces. This thing is way too big for my light box and I've yet to take a photo of it that does it justice. The base is about 2 feet by 3 feet and the lower ramparts are a system of concentric rings tied together by radial walls. It's nominally hollow, but there's a lot of internal buttressing, arches, and technic structure buried inside to support the weight of the upper tiers. If you're curious, I have a few more photos (of equally poor quality) over on MOC pages I welcome all comments, questions and suggestions as to how best to finish and photograph this beast (particularly if you have any great insights in to the design of a 10 stud diameter Eye of Sauron that doesn't look cheesy). Thanks for stopping by.

The creation costing me 52 man hrs to build. I guess the core using around 45,000 bricks, but the skin was unable to count, since too many plates used. Goto the album on Facbook

Hello, today, something small... This is my house mouse. Unlike most of my animals, it is built in life size.
-
Hello, these are two new-world monkeys. A white-headed capuchin and a squirrel monkey.
-
Hello, I continue with my series of animals... This is a toco Toucan or giant toucan. It is one of my first Animals.
-
Hello, these are my sulphur-crested cockatoos. They are a little bit smaller than my other parrots. (I will post them soon!)
-
Hello, beside my animals, I have a few other sculptures. Here is the first one.

Hello, I am new here at Eurobricks. Although maybe some people know me from "Mocpages" or less likely from "1000steine.de". I would have been here earlier, but I just found out, that this site exists. I like to build sculptures, especially animals. I also build some Star Wars MOCs, but most of the time I am busy with an animal sculpture. I start here with my favorite animal, the orangutan: I hope you like it!

My latest builds have been sculptures, while I'm still finding my feet in this new genre, I thought I'd have a go at a Golbin, medieval style. Let me know what you think, please. Goblins. by Taz-Maniac, on Flickr

I really wanted to capture motion, which isn't the easiest of task to do with LEGO bricks. Nevertheless, I built a little sculpture on something we do everyday, walk.

The Faun from the brilliant movie "Pan's Labyrinth" by Guillermo Del Toro. I made this bust for Brickworld Lafayette in a 19 hour time window before the start of the show. This is by far my favorite build I have completed to date. Enjoy!

During March i took part in the MocAthalon over at MocPages (kinda using it as a spur to get out of a building slump, really) One of the catagories i was handed was to build a life-sized bust of a real or fictional person. And can i just say, man was this catagory hard... special thanks to whoever thought this catagory up, i had a blast and wow, was i stretched as well! It was my partner who actually suggested i make a bust of David Bowie as she is a huge fan - initally i was dubious but then when i recalled the classic "Aladdin Sane" album cover, i thought, could i actually pull off that lightening bolt across his face? I didn't know.. and there was only one way to find out! ;) I had a hard time photographing this with all the brick shine - i knew i wanted some white background shots to recreate the album cover, but i actually thought it would pop better on black and give viewers a better idea of the sculpting involved. So, here is a full revoloution of Bowie on black: The side on angles were the least flattering and showed where i struggled the most with the anatomy. The face is far too flat and you can see how enlongated the head is. But hey, the Ziggy Stardust character is a kind of alien, right? (Ok, just covering my failings i know!) He really did have an epic mullet in those days. Business on top, party at the back! Well, that's it. C and C welcome as always. Thanks for looking peeps!

STATUE OF LIBERTY PEDESTAL PIECES: 6193 DIMENSIONS: 15” L x 15” W x 19 ¾” H WEIGHT: 17.25 lbs When LEGO® released the Statue of Liberty #3450 set in 2000, it was missing one key element, the iconic pedestal on which Lady Liberty stands. In real life, the statue stands at 151 feet tall and the pedestal adds another 89 feet. Therefore, more than 1/3 of what most people think of as the Statue of Liberty was missing from the original LEGO® #3450 model. I could not allow such a magnificent Lady to not be placed upon her pedestal. Therefore, in the spring of 2012 I began to design and build a quality pedestal model to properly complete the LEGO® Statue of Liberty #3450 set. Nearly every detail of the pedestal that could be captured with official LEGO® pieces has been accurately reproduced in this exquisite design. The entire model is designed to be properly scaled to fit with the LEGO® Statue of Liberty #3450 model. The balconies, brick patterns, shield details, slopes, columns, and many more features have all been faithfully recreated. Typically many LEGO® models are designed “studded” in appearance. However, this particular model was designed to eliminate the appearance of LEGO® piece studs. This “stud-less” look adds an incredible level of realism to the final model. The pedestal model is constructed of 6193 pieces. The model is approximately 15” (384 mm) wide, 15” (384 mm) deep, and 19 ¾” (501 mm) tall. The weight is approximately 17.25 lbs (7.8 kg). When combined with the LEGO® Statue of Liberty #3450 model, which itself is 33” (838 mm) tall, the overall presentation proudly stands at nearly 53” (4 feet 5 inches or 1.34 meters) and weighs approximately 27 lbs (12.24 kg)! Depending on the time of day and lighting, the stones of the real Statue of Liberty Pedestal can appear a variety of colors. Other builders that have done pedestal designs have typically used tan LEGO® pieces, but I usually think of the pedestal in some shade of gray. Therefore, the model was designed and built using the light bluish gray color (LBG), which is also known as LEGO® medium stone grey.

Being based on George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series and the HBO series Game of Thrones, I'm not sure if this belongs in historic themes or in "special" as just a sculpture, but since Martin was blatantly ripping off the Colossus of Rhodes and that was clearly historical, I think I'll post this here. (Moderators, feel free to move as you see fit) This guy stands about three feet tall (just shy of a meter) and made his public premiere at Brickfair New England, 2015, where it/I took the Brickee for Best Individual Builder (I offer a big thanks to all my fellow AFOLs who voted for me). A fair bit of engineering went into figuring out how to get him to lean/loom just right without collapsing under his own weight. The arms are cantilevered on technic beams through the shoulders. No glue or trans-clear parts are used to extra support, the shoulder joints actually do support the weight of the extended sword arm and the shield. Actually, there's quite a lot of technic action going on under the skin, the whole sculpture is pretty much a system of trusses with studs out in every direction and then it gets skinned in tiles, slopes and bows to give it its final form. The shield and armored kilt went through quite a number of revisions, reworkings and a few "why on earth am I even trying to do this?" moments, but in the end I came up with designs that generally worked for me. I hope you like them as well. Thanks for stopping by.
