Because I'm working in the kitchen decided to do another delicious food.
Italia Ciabatta made of Lego.

This model was created spontaneously.
I tried to reproduce to some extent, but also added some detail.
I figured a smooth gray back (city background) wouldn't look good.
The clover rotates, the model is 8 dots deep and almost 1.5 meters long (6BP without 2-4 dots).
It is divided into 12 modules to facilitate transport.
Due to the clover and its different dimension compared to the original, I had to stretch the center a bit, but overall I tried to keep the proportions.

Too Much Bricks — This model was inspired by art “Confetti Death” made by @typoe
This is a version made by Lego bricks.
Design and build took few weeks to make. I used 48 technic bricks 16x16 (dimensions are 3.5 x 3.5 BP)

Miami-based Typoe created this insane titled Confetti Death. Produced from shards of spray paint caps, the confetti of color sees a splash through the mouth of a skull, juxtaposing quite nicely with the white wall it’s placed on.

Latest in my Marvel mosaic series (no.7) is Rocket with a cameo by baby Groot. It is always tricky to balance these out in terms of colours and parts usage and this time I managed to use up a quantity of 1x1 blue plates.

Presenting the IFI ammonia train, as operated by Irish Rail until the collapse of IFI in the early 2000s.

This was a pretty massive undertaking, as it consists of six separate models: a locomotive, three ammonia tankers and two barrier wagons. The diesel is powered by two Circuit Cubes motors, although as yet they're untested because I barely have enough track to hold this lot.

I'd been wanting for a while to design an Irish Rail diesel of some sort, in the old orange livery.

Breda and I recently completed the long-in-the-build National Library of Ireland project. It has been installed in the foyer of the National Library which from next weekend is open Saturdays and Sundays.

This model commenced over 3 years ago and in addition to a traditional (for us anyway) grey and tan exterior has a full interior over split levels, some of which is not easily visible from behind the barrier. A construction log was maintained which is running on a video screen in the foyer (and which we also have as a mini-display at Brick Feile).

Presenting the Great Western Railway locomotive 5972 “Olton Hall”, better known as Hogwarts Railways locomotive “Hogwarts Castle” - the loco which pulls the Hogwarts Express.

Purists look away now. This uses BigBenBricks XL driving wheels and a Circuit Cubes motor and bluetooth battery hub. I have to say, I’m delighted with both. The wheels are injection molded, and the quality is fantastic. The motor is 2x4 studs x 2 bricks high, and it fits inside the firebox of the locomotive easily. It’s connected by a wire to the tender – lift up the coal section and the battery hub is sitting inside. The app to control it leaves a bit to be desired, and documentation is almost non-existent, but at least in theory apps can be updated and supposedly more documentation will be released in “spring 2022”.

This was a challenging build at every stage.

Easy creations for relax
