With very little build time in recent weeks and over the summer I resorted to an expansion of my Marvel mosaic collection which now extends to 11 mosaic pieces of the same size. As always, at this scale they are best viewed at a distance or through a camera lens (or on this forum ...
During Brick Con, I did a "live build" of a computer case. Bricks were provided by the con, and PC components were from GG Machines who were demoing gaming PCs at the show.
Unfortunately I forgot to take any photos during the build, though I believe some others did, if anyone has "in progress" photos, I'd love some.
The case was mostly built from basic bricks and plates, with strategically placed technic bricks. The motherboard was attached to these with cable ties. The power supply is resting on the floor of the case, and there is a pillar to support the graphics card.
The case included a flip down "door" to give access to the interior.
One of my interests is space and spacecraft and I've recently started working on my own MOCs of spacecraft.
Here are some digital Lego models of Ocean Liners I've created during the last few months.
Many of you say the LEGO Friends Mars Base I had at Brick Féile. I just realised that I haven't posted any photos to the group, so I intend to correct that.
But first, I'd like to show some photos of the new Galaxy Explorer that I showed for the first time at the Blessington show today.

I'm still waiting on some parts to finish it off, but I decided to bring the incomplete ship to Blessington, and display it with the engineering crew hard at work on it.
It's built from the 10497 Galaxy Explorer instructions, but recoloured to fit the Friends Space theme.
My two new flowers what I made for Legos House competition.
I used a few nice parts here.
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.
