After the mammoth theatre build, I needed to do something completely different, both to confront new challenges and to avoid comparisons. Also, with most of my key, base colours used up, my colour selection was severely limited!

For anyone not familiar with superhero lore, the Fortress of Solitude was created with a shard from the planet Krypton and hidden in the remote Arctic. It's Superman's home-away-from-home where he receives instruction from his father, Jor-El.

The model is based on the fortress as depicted in the original Superman movies, with a couple of imagined features added (notably the caves)

Haven’t posted one of my mocs here yet but I really like this one so decided to share it.FoundAnIsland by Puvel The Hurn, on Flickr

Ok, so this is my Peterbilt truck. Stil is WIP, but I hope i'll finish soon
This year will be 3 years where I'm trying to gather all together.
The most reason was money, chrome bricks are very expensive, and this is my first huge MOC and everything I learned.

To be honest, I never would have imagined purchasing a lego Tie fighter before the latest Star Wars movie came out. But I was so impressed with the scenes and portrayal of the spacecraft that I ran out and bought the Special Forces Tie fighter.

I love this set and almost had not complaints at all. The only thing that bothered me was that the heavy weapons turret, attached to the underside of the cockpit, was only portrayed using tow special tile pieces. In universe this heavy weapons turret is one of the main features that sets the SF Tie apart from the standard tie. I didn't have many extra pieces to work with, but I was proud of the result.

I believe it better represents the turret in the movie and it also rotates 360 degrees. Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

Hi there!

When I was younger the Audi R8 was the coolest vehicle around - to me at least. And I always found it more appealing than red sportscars from Italy or the Porsches that are being built quite close to my place. Iron Man had one, I wanted one. Obviously such a car is not the most practical thing around, especially when you turn into an AFOL and want to bring models to events and conventions.

So I decided to build one, in minifig scale. I started working on this a bit over a year ago and kept coming back to it to reiterate and make it better until about 4 weeks ago I felt like I was done. I'm pretty happy how it turned out - what do you think? Would love some feedback, my knowledge about building cars is quite limited.

Because surely blows.

In the spirit of Christmas the Swebrick LUG shared through the Ambassador network some of the building instructions that have been produced by that LUG. Some are former community builds others from current CB's , some event kits and some other builds. Hopefully that this can inspire people's imagination to do similar and perhaps share (First link is to pdf, second to .lfx.

Every year our Christmas tree gets decorated with LEGO baubles.

This year my mom asked me if I could design some new ones so I came up with these: A collection of cute Disney Princesses (Yes, Leia is one, too) in their setting, together with a second character.

Let me know what you think! Merry Christmas to all of you!

Thought I might share a picture of my current project; the Lego Minifigure Sculpture that used to be sold in Legoland. I'm building it via Bricklink so I've had to make a few part changes to keep the cost down. Still waiting for a few more parts to arrive which is why he's legless at the moment. The build is very traditional, i.e. lots of plate and brick stacking, but I've found it a really enjoyable build so far. I think being able to see such a recognizable figure take shape really adds to the build enjoyment.
