Hi there! / Boujour à tous! It's been a while since my last (and only) (URL) post>. I haven't been building for the past 6-7 months or so and was bored some afternoon so I started going through my collection. I came upon an old MOC and realized the (...)

(URL) Hi Folks, I've never built a space ship, so where to start? LEGO Classic Space could be a cool theme to add jet another ship. The famous LL924 is godfather of my LL924 creation in XL or UCS format. The scale is nearly 2:1 and would work fine (...)

Loosely inspired by some gorgeous SW Sail Barge MOCs on Brickshelf, NELUG's latest [1] Brikwars game featured a steampunk skiff battle set above the desolate Kar'Zuba desert. Every skiff represented a Trading Guild, and upon arrival at the outskirts (...)
