Hi.

Below is an image of the full fleet of Fire Engines that I showed at yesterdays meeting.

Be careful, don’t listen loud music. Never know what is behind you

My first posted MOC this year and for a very long time here
Hope you like some details.

Haven't posted a build in a while, but I'm quite happy with this one so wanted to share:
Customs Office - Port Woodhouse by Puvel The Hurn, on Flickr

Bright and sparkly with a sprinkling of magic and a pinch of fairy dust, this garden took three day to design & build (plus an extra evening to attach all the gems, etc to the trees whilst listening to podcasts and watching TV), using 1,232 elements.

It gave me an excuse to use some of those copious 1x1 round tiles in various transparent colours that seem to keep accumulating! It was also fun to experiment with some of the outrageous foliage colours LEGO has come out with in recent times.

Potent potions, cures and poisons.... mysteries to leave you spellbound in this next garden! Comprised of 1,672 elements, it was a simple one to design but all the finicky bits were rather time-consuming, so just under 4 days for this one.

I tried to capture the exotic and lavish feel of a Moorish palace garden in this model; it took about three days to design & build, using 1,588 elements.

Simple and tranquil, with koi swimming gracefully beneath the water surface and cherry blossom petals fluttering down to the gravel, this scene is comprised of 1,103 elements and took approx. two days to design and build. It is one of a small series of four themed gardens, which were originally intended to form part of a display at a UK event that didn't happen.

I'll post the other three gardens over the next few days

My city courthouse, originally built in stud.io at the start of lockdown, finally realised in real bricks.

I experimented a bit with the base of the structure. There's no baseplate under it, in fact there's no floor of any kind. And it's sitting on a SNOT-built pavement, which I'm not entirely convinced was a good idea - that remains to be seen when I attach it to some roads I guess. The lack of floor makes the structure really flimsy without the pavement, and you can't really lift the building by the pavement.

The Slieve Gullion, which served on the Great Northern Railway (Ireland) and later CIÉ from 1913 to 1965, and still runs preserved services. When it entered service, it was the most powerful locomotive in Ireland, a title it held until 1932. It hauled the "Enterprise" between Dublin and Belfast.

I built this as a wedding present for a friend. It was actually a rebuild of a similar loco that I was never happy with.

Built for an inter-UK and Ireland LUG challenge with parts sourced from Star Wars foil packs that come in the magazines.

I will embed the image later when at my PC.[edit: now done. Don't know why it requires desktop mode on Chrome to share bbcode]
